Music Post!

Hey lovelies! So because I didnt do day 8 of the lolita challenge properly Im going to do a music post about some of my favourite bands! This is also dedicated to the lovely Churi Chan (http://lolitayoghurt.blogspot.com/) who is absolutely adorable and you should all check her out, shes such a sweetie!

I guess my this is gonna be sort of a list of my favourite music ^^ it'll be alphabetical (Im gonna go through my ipod ^^)
I wont put videos for all but Ill put a few through! I have a vast music taste so I wont be able to cover all but Ill give it a go!

1.) Alexisonfire
Ive loved Alexisonfire since their first self titled album, but if youre gonna start listening to them Id go for the Crisis album ^^ they also remind me of when I first met my boyfriend 7 years ago <3
I cried a bit when I heard them play this perfectly live!

2.) The Bled
The Bled were one of my transitional bands into heavier music, I still absolutely adore them and could listen through the Found in the Flood album over and over! I also adore their lyrics: "Cast as the role of a lover, and I feel slightly misplaced in a world thats fuck or be fucked" beautiful.

3.) Combichrist
Take me back to my cyber days! I love it when I hear them played in a club, I cant not dance!

4.) Cradle of Filth
Because they were the first metal band I ever really loved when I was about 13? I still have a crush on Dani Filth >.<

5.) Deftones
Their music s amazing when Im drawing, it just makes me go into a strange drifty mood! My Own Summer <3

6.) Dir en Grey
The only Jrock band I really adore. I saw them last year and it was just insane! the sounds that were coming out of Kyo were not even human! I love that he was stood on a crate, hes super tiny!!

7.) The Distillers
Brody Dalle. Enough said, I just love her!

8.) Gallows
Just insane live, wish I couldve seen them again before Frank Carter left :'(

9.) He is Legend
If this wasnt alphabetical, theyd be right near the top! This band really have shaped my music taste, and I love that their music changes from album to album. No one song will give you a good taster but heres my current favourite (also check out The Seduction!)

10.) Help She Cant Swim
For being silly and dancing around to ^^

11.) Korn
Saw them live this summer and Jonathons voice is just ridiculous! Didnt play my favourite song (evolution) though :(

12.) Lower Than Atlantis
Saw them this summer <3 they have my current favourite sad song aha!

13.) Machine head
SO GOOD

14.) Metronomy
because we all need a bit of upbeat electro every now and then ^^

15.) Nero
Throw some dubstep in here! My lovely boyfriend made a gaming montage and dedicated it to myself and some other friends with my favourite nero song in it (the first song ^^)

16.) Norma Jean
God so good. a band that has evolved and gotten better and better with every album!

17.) Placebo
No need to explain. Seeing Brian Molko looking beautiful and sinnging incredibly live made me and my friend Jessie shed a tear <3

18.) Queens of the Stoneage
So underrated! saw them at my first festival and it was pure magic!

19.) Rammstein
Best live band of my life to date ^^

20.) Scarling
I love Jessicka, and I love Scarling as much if not more than Jack off Jill

21.) The Smiths
because I grew up listening to Morisseys beautiful voice on vinyl ^^


22.) The XX
so beautiful. My painting music

23.) The Yeah Yeah Yeahs
ultimate love song, Maps <333

24.) 36 Crazyfists
because theyre me and my best friend Peejs ultimate sing a long band ^^

so there we go. My top24..? Strange number to leave it at! It will bug me the bands Ive missed and well done if you made it this far ^^
goodnight lovelies!

Headphones

Hello! I hope your 2011 experiences are all lovely so far.
Today is sort of another wishlist related post... this time about headphones! I use mine all the time, i get the bus too and from university everyday and Bath is usually packed with traffic in the evenings so it can get boring -.-
My dream pair of headphones were these gorgeous swimmer ones:
Lovehearts ! so cute, though I do adore these smaller ones too, im quite picky about sound quality and generally this style isnt great for sound quality:
Unfortunately swimmer dont ship to the UK so instead i treated myself with these Hello Kitty ones ^.^ please excuse my gormless face !

I just hang them over my bag handle when im not listening like this
