Something New each Day

Hiya guys, This week is another attempt at helping you gorgeous people to learn things through my mistakes. It is that time of the year and whether you've already given in essays or have some to give in, everyone will need help at some point. Please don't just take my word for it as I am only a first year university student and cannot help with content or structure . However, here are just a few points that I wish I'd known when I started doing essays and things that I do now that really help my essay writing process. Essay's, whether they be for a humanities or a science subject, have a core aim and that is too write about a specific topic to show your understanding and ability to write coherently and for a purpose so hopefully this can be partly useful to everyone. 1. Once you've chosen a question, step back and think about what it is asking Get the question and analyse it. What is the question word? Is it 'why, what, to what extent,' and figur...

Hiya guys, Time for me to introduce you to yet another artist that I am loving at the moment and literally listen to on a near hourly basis. Will Jay Behlendorf is a 19 year old singer/ songwriter from LA who used to be in the boyband IM5 but has been a solo artist for longer than a year. Isn't he adorable? I don't even know where to start with the masterpiece that is Will Jay so I guess I will say a bit about him and his personality then I will go onto his music and list some of the standout aspects of his musical talents and then link you to some of my favourite videos of him.  Will is the sweetest person ever and is a combination of being slightly geeky, very talented and such a gentleman. When he was part of IM5, he was ever so shy and introverted but when he was comfortable with an interviewer, such as Ava from On The Spot Interviews, he really burst out of his bubble and he would come out with some of the best one liners I have ever heard. He is the kind ...

Hiya Guys, Once again, I am sorry for the lack of posts but it seems as if living the life of a university student isn't as calm and easy as everyone told me. This week's music is something that really sparks a lot of arguments on YouTube comments and that is the on the subject of pop punk and what different people think it is. The Wikipedia definition of pop punk is 'music typically combining fast punk tempos, chord changes and loud guitars with pop-influenced melodies and lyrical themes.' This definition seems pretty straightforward and is open to interpretation but then why does it cause so much aggression in the world of music? Although the genre seemed to be going through a decline in the late 2000s, much to the disgust of some people, the pop punk platform has become much more mainstream and is being popular for a much younger audiences.  This debate has been around since the start and showed in the 2000s with people calling out Blink 182 and Greend...

Hiya Guys, This post probably seems slightly weird as I am from the UK and this post is about an American TV Talent Show. Well, it is weird how obsessed I have become with this series for several reasons including the amount of talent that oozes from a variety of artists who beat most people on British talent shows. The talent seems to be a lot more raw and they don't do what us Brits love and keep all the rubbish acts to make good TV but in the process ruin good artists shots. The amazingly funny and talented judging panel consisting of J-Lo, Keith Urban and Harry Connick Jr. have picked raw talent and stuck to their guns by keeping people they know can make it big. The chemistry between the 3 judges is brilliant as there is so much banter and joking but, in the end, they always know what they are talking about and give constructive criticism. Here are the people I think have made this year amazing and have made it to the top 10: 1. Dalton Rapattoni - @DaltonRapat...

Hiya Guys, Sorry for not posting last Friday or at all but it's because I have loads of assignments due in and Music Friday wasn't uploaded because I was preparing for this week by going to a concert! As I have mentioned before, I am such a huge All Time Low fan and the fact that, after 5 years, I have finally been able to see them live is really a huge thing for me and the fact that I took my mum and converted her to a fan is huge. Before I start my highlights or review, I want to say that the wait didn't disappoint me and it has been one of the best tours I have seen due to the sheer perfection of everything including the support acts, the setlist, the energy and the atmosphere. I had heard of both the support acts (Against the Current and Good Charlotte) but live, they exceeded all of my expectations. It was obvious that Good Charlotte was the most popular of the two but this was clearly because of the length of time they had been around as they had fans fro...

Hiya Guys, So I am going to finally get to see All Time Low in concert next Friday in Manchester, however it means that Music Friday may have to be moved as there is no way I can write the post on the Friday night. I thought that, to celebrate this momentous occasion that I've been waiting for for about 6 years, that I would write about my 5 top songs from All Time Low. Unfortunately, with 6 studio albums and countless numbers of EPs, this has been one of the hardest tasks that I've had to do. So, please do not be mad if one of your favourite songs hasn't been mentioned. I most likely love it but it would've taken forever so I'm picking one song off each album, except The Party Scene that I'm going to substitute with Put Up or Shup Up and Dirty Work has been sacrificed (even though I love every song on it). So here we go, in album chronological order: 1. Put Up or Shut Up EP Jasey Rae This song is one of those songs that put a huge smile o...

Hiya Guys, A little insight into my life as said by many people, 'Wow you have an addictive personality.' Now, that isn't just everyone being nice about how they cannot get enough of me but more saying that I easily become addicted or obsessed with things. Well I mean it isn't as extreme as addiction to drugs or alcohol, of which I do not condone, but things such as music artists or television shows. This post's introduction will link to my Music Friday but for this week I would like to talk about my latest TV obsession which is Call The Midwife. Also, if I seem to be writing slightly more eloquently, it won't last and is merely due to the fact that I have gotten through 4 series of the show in less than two weeks. Set in the East End of London (this makes it more approachable as I know many of the sites), the show is about reasonably posh sisters and nurses who's job is mainly as a midwife to the disadvantaged expecting mothers. I was really ...
