So, I've been listening to a lot of teenage punk rock music lately, after buying the "Teenage Dirtbags" compilation album.
It's pretty good, and reminds me of when I used to go to Spiders in Hull regularly (an epic epic nightclub that every now and then I get a massive desire to return to...hmm what am I doing for Halloween...)
But!
Guess what I saw when I checked out the CD on Amazon as part of writing this post.
"UMTV compilation featuring the biggest bands and tracks from the golden era of pop punk"
GOLDEN ERA?!?
Yes. I feel old.
Get this album if you want to rock out. And pretend that you're 20 again.
While I'm talking about music, I came across a rather decent singer-songwriter this evening. Lucy Marshall is from North East Lincolnshire and despite only being 17 has already done well over 300 gigs, and shows no sign of stopping. Which is a good thing because she's quite good. I particularly recommend "Please" (video below)
Check out her website at http://www.lucymarshallmusic.com to see where she's gigging next.
