Week 40 – Tuesday 1st October– Monday 7th October My Chemical Romance – Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge When I saw this my mind filled with a feeling of dread. Did I like listen to an album by these guys last year? Did I like it? Something was telling me ‘no’. In fact, it was…

September Music Challenge
Week 36 – Tuesday 3rd September– Monday 9th September Weezer – Pinkerton I don’t think I can think of a better example of a band that, for me, is ‘those guys that did that one song’ than Weezer. But after having listened to this album I cannot think of a band that I would rather…
August Music Challenge
Week 31 – Tuesday 30th July – Monday 5th August Rancid – and out come the wolves I don’t like this genre. I swear, I cannot tell any singular punk song from any other. Try as I might I have yet to find an exception. For me, it’s the musical equivalent of Rohypnol. I put…

March Music Challenge
Week 9 – Tuesday 26th Feb – Monday 4th Mar Mike Oldfield – Hergest Ridge I had heard of Mike Oldfield before, enough so that I had an idea of what I was getting myself into here. Oddly enough, I had no recollection of when and how I had first heard of him, excepting…
February Music Challenge
Alright, let’s go! Week 5 – Tuesday 29th Jan – Monday 4th FEB- 50cent- Get Rich Or Die Tryin I am sure associating music with a certain period of your life is increasingly becoming a common experience. My father’s generation was convinced it was only going to happen to them (<s> cause they had all…
