The Killers

Today it's out the new album of The Killers in UK. So in this post we will go through their carrier and as well i will explain about the new record. 

Battle Born

This is the name for their new album that it would be release today. That one it's the fifth record from the band and all their fans were waiting for that moment, since that they took a break in 2010.

The album has 12 new songs and the first single is called "Runaways". I've been listening some songs of the new album and my sincerely opinion about the album, is that they are not going to let their fans down. I think that the album is brilliant! There are other songs like "Flesh and Bones" or "The Way It Was" or even "Miss Atomic Bomb" which are hugh.

In the official web side, you can find the three different special edition of the new album Check here! to choose yours.

The Killers - Runaways


I still remember, when i saw them on MTV for the very first time with the clip call "Somebody Told Me". That song was for their first album "Hot Fuss", release in 2004 and i remember myself thinking that, even that was a kind of music totally different that i was listening by that moment i like it. Maybe was for the sound of the keyboard, maybe cause was something fresh and different and as well their looks were so wired, but in the good way.

So they show me a new kind of music, which was Rock indie. I guess, that's the reason why they are for me one of the best bands of this style of music.

Somebody Told Me



With their second single, "Mr Brightside" their won me. Not only the song was good, as well because the video clip. It's like by the film of Mouline Rouge, which is one of my favorites movies. Actually in 2005, with this song, they won the MTV Music Video Award for Best New Artist. After that song i start follow their music. 

Mr Brightside 



The second album "Sam's Town", released it in 2006. It wasn't as good at the fist one at least for memaybe could be because i get used to their music. However there are some songs that i like. For example "When you were young" or one of my favorite song of this band is actually in that album. Was single "Read my mind", it's a funny video and the song is one of me favorites of this group.

Read My Mind


The third album was released on 2007 under the name of "SawDust". That album was a compilation with some new songs. One of the best song that i found in this record is, "Romeo and Juliet", if you have the chance i recommend to listen that one. 

By all this time i was still living in Barcelona, and one of the things that i complain for my country it's that take too long for the people open their minds, in terms of music. 

So they didn't were really big till their fourth album "Day & Age", release in 2008. When one of the football clubs in Spain put the song "Human"which was the first single as a sound track for their games. I remember listen to them for the past five yearsand some of my friends didn't like their music at all. Those friends, were the same that when the fourth album was release change their minds, thanks to this football club.

With this fourth album, they had other hits with the singles "Spaceman" and the "World That We Live In"

Human



The worst part, became that after two years of this album, their decided to take a break. That breae has been for a year-and-a-half, more or lessSo even they came to Barcelona for a concert in 2009and i didn't had the opportunity to see them. But next January, i will see them in the "Big Day Out" which is a festival, that has place in Australia. So i'm looking forward!!

if all those clips didn't convince you maybe you should listen them in live, so here there's a concert for iTunes Festival in 2012.


Thanks for reading! And please feel free to leave any comment.

MTV Music Vdeo Awards

In this post I will talk about the MTV Music Video Awards, that was on the 7th of September. I will explain who won in each category and what I think about each one. Also, I should mention that this year there are lots of nomination for Great Britain bands and most of the awards was for those bands. Winning five of the ten awards and because there weren't nominates in all the categories.

Best Pop Video

Fun feat Janelle Monae - "We are Young"
Justin Biever - "Boyfriend"
Maroon 5 feat Wiz Khalifa - "Payphone"
One Directon - "What Maces You Beautiful" - WINNER
Rihanna - "We Found Love"
"To start withhow do you call a category Pop when two of the nominees don't even do Pop music? Rihanna should be in Hip-Hop category and Fun are completely an indie band. About the winners... wellobviously it isn't dificult win the best video when you have lot of teenagers fans. Butif we are talking about BEST VIDEO i don't think that is the meaning of it's see 5 kids jumping on the beach. Don't get me wrong! I completaly agree with that winner in this category. Actually for me there are only two options: Justin Biever or One Direction because they are proper Pop."


Best Rock Video

The Black Keys - "Lonely Boy"
Coldplay - "Paradise" - WINNER
Imagine Dragons - "it's Time"
Jack White - "Sixteen Saltines"
Linking Park - "Burn it Down"
"I'm totally agree with this category, at least all the bands are rock. As well, I like the nominees and the winner. Actually, I though that the winner for this category it would be Lining Park, because we can not forget that we are in USA and it's dficult that a band for UK can win the award. So congratulations to Coldplay".

Best Hip-Hop Video  

Childish Gambino - "Heartbeat"
Darke feat. Lil Wayne - "HYFR" - WINNER
Kanye West feat. Pusha T/ Big Sean and 2 Chainz - "Mercy"
Nicki Minaj feat 2 Chainz - "Beez in the Trap"
The Throne - "Paris"
"About the Hip-Hop category, I don't have much to say... Was quite predictable that Darke will win and plus if you mix a song with Lil Wayne, who now is doing lots of colaborations."

Best New Artist

Carly Rae Jepsen - "Call Me Maybe"
Frank Ocean - "Swim Good"
Fun feat Janelle Monae - "We are Young"
One Direction - "What Makes You Beatful - WINNER
The Wanted - "Glad you Came"
"Again the same thing in this categorythere are two european bands and the winner is from UKI still think the same about the boy bandso I'd rather that the winners had been Fun  than One Direction, because at least they are jumping in a slow motion and it's different."

Best Female Video

Beyonce - "Love on Top"
Katy Perry - "Part of Me"
Niki Minaj- Starships - WINNER
Rihanna - "We Found Love"


Selena Gomez & The Scene - 'Love You Like a Love Song'


"For me that category was one that i couldn't say who was going to win. Actually is difficult to chose one, but anyway, I should really like the video and the song who won. Though, I thought that the one who was going to win was Rihanna, because "We Found Love" has been one of the songs that I heart the most wherever i'm going out. But well, i'm leaving in London let's wait for what is going to happen at the MTV European Music Awards"

Best Male Video

Chris Brown - "Turn Up the Music" - WINNER

Drake feat Rihanna - 'Take Care'

Frank Ocean - 'Swim Good'
Justin Bieber - 'Boyfriend'
Usher - 'Climax'
"Talking about music we can not forget that Chris Brown has been one of the best singer for the past of the few years. So now that he came back with a new album was one of the favorites to win. As well that category was quite difficult to say who was going to be the best video."

Best Electronic Dance Music Video



Avicii - 'Le7els'

Calvin Harris - 'Feels So Close' - WINNER

Duc Sauce - "Bg Bad Wolf"

Martin Solveig - 'The Night Out'

Skrillex - 'First of the Year (Equinox)'

"I'm really happy that Calvin Harris won this award. I've been following his music recently but the more i discover the more i likit. Actually I totally recommend to listen his music, as wel,l that song has been almost the sound track for the last summer and David Guetta is not in the list of the candidates for the award that why i was hopping to him to win."


Best Video with a Message



Demi Lovato - 'Skyscraper' - WINNER

Gym Class Heroes feat. Ryan Tedder - 'The Fighter'

Kelly Clarkson - 'Dark Side'

K'Naan feat. Nelly Furtado - 'Is Anybody Out There?'

Lil Wayne - 'How to Love'

Rise Against - 'Ballad of Hollis Brown'


"I'm quite agree with the winner in this category, if we talk about song but, if we talk about clip I should said that we already see something similar with the clip of Selena Gomez ,"Year Without Rain" but, anyway that one is not bad."


Video of the Year

Drake feat. Rihanna - 'Take Care'

Gotye - 'Somebody That I Used to Know'

Katy Perry - 'Wide Awake
M.I.A. - 'Bad Girls'
Rihanna - 'We Found Love' - WINNER


"This category is one of the difficult ones. I must say that it shocked me when i new that Gotye was a candidate for the award, because it's not the kind of clips that "MTV like", what I try to say t's that this video clip it's no as comercial as the rest. There are lot of greats songs and videos. Actually for me the best one is aty Perry with "Wide Awake" but, i like as well the one of Rihanna."


Most Share-Worthy Video

Beyoncé - 'Countdown'

Carly Rae Jepsen - 'Call Me Maybe'

Gotye feat Kimbra - 'Somebody That I Used to Know'

Justin Bieber - 'Boyfriend'

One Direction - 'What Makes You Beautiful' - WINNER 

"Again and again... i'm living in London so I already now that One Direction are a hugh phenomenon fan butI didn't now that they were that massive. I really want to now what must be thincing Justin Bieber about all this... Last years he was winning almost all the awards and this time no even one. For the other hand, Carly Jespen and Gotye didn't won any award but, they've nominated in few categories so they can be pretty happy about their job. Because if MTV mention your name, that means that you are doing well or at least selling which this is the whole point."

Well that has been my point of view about the MTV Video Awards. What it's yours?!

New singles on my itunes list

As I have a list in my itunes called "New Singles", I though to do this section just to share with you all the new singles that i've founded on Youtube. Obviously i'm not going to talk about all of them, just only the ones I think are the best videos or songs for me.

1. One Republic 

To start, I will mention the first single of the new album of One Republic, which I think is one of the best bands in their style now at days. 
That one it would be the third album of the band, since they came out with their first single "Apologize" released in 2007. Since then they didn't stop to make good music. 
For me One Republic reminds me a Coldplay, which they are one of my favorites bands. As Coldplay they do this kind of melancholic lyrics mixed with a "happy" melody. Actually this clip is quite similar to "Seep of Sounds" of Coldplay.
The video below is the new single, so you can have a look. Enjoy it!!

One Republic - Feel again 


2. The Killers 

I know that single is not new from this week but it still quite new on all music lists... 
The killers is one of my favorites bands of indie rock, which i'm really glad to have the opportunity to see them in live next 20th of January in the "Big Day Out" festival in Gold Coast, Australia.
This single is the first one from their new album "Battle Born", available on 18/09. They have done this album after their had a little break there's a big expectations from their fans.
I like the song it's just simply a the killers song

The Killers - Runaways


3. No Doubt

One of the most expected comebacks of the year, is the one of No Doubt. They are coming back after they split in 2004 with "Settle Down", which it's the first single of the new album "Push and Shove", but that one it wouldn't be out until 24th of September.
The band is originally from California and was formed in 1986, their influence is basically from ska punk and reggae fusion.

No Doubt - Settle Down


4. Pink

Pink as well has a new album. Does it seems like September is the month to come back, isn't it?
The album it will come out on 17th of September under the name of "The Truth About Love!".
You can find on Youtube more songs of the new record. i should say that i like some songs and i totally Pink style which is good. That there are still some singers or band that they don't care what it sells now they just do their music  and what they like.

Pink - Blow Me 


5. Beyonce

Beyonce has as well a new clip, but that one is for a charity, the song's called "I was here" is a beautiful and emotional hope song. More than explain that song you need to listen yourselfcause i'm sure that it will move something inside of you, plus with the pictures are in the video it's difficult try not to cry.
From Beyonce which is a female singer that everyone knows. I can not say anything new... She is one of the greatest artist in our times.

Beyonce - I was here

6. Owl City 

Changing  completely the style of music, we found this new single from Owl City. It's not that emotional as the last one or I don't like that much as the one of One Republic or The Killers, but it's on my list because sometimes I like to listen this kind of music that makes you smile and remind you that sometimes life it's not that difficult as we though. It's more the way you take the things. I call them "sunny songs".
So for that reason i'm shearing with you that clip. As well, i recommended to listen some other songs of this band because they do something diferent of the rest, their sound it's like 80's.


Owl City & Carly Rae Jepsen - Good Time


7. Nicki  Minaj 

And the last one it would be one "Disco" song, is the new single of the "crazy" [in the good way] Nicki Minaj. I like her music though, it's no my favorite style, but she is really good doing this kind of mix between R&B, Hip-Hop and her freak style.
You can listen to her music in parties, but as well she has some others deep songs as "Fly" feat  Rihanna. 
This new single it's good and the video is in a carnival atmosphere, but at the moment i still like the old one "Starships".

Nicki  Minaj - Pound The Alarm

What's on?

This post it would be to explain about the new records and as well a brief of the bands.

GREEN DAY - "UNO!" "DOS!" & "TRE!"


The posting of today is regarding the new clip of one of the most influential bands of our time, "Oh Love" from the 3 new albums of Green Day: "Uno!" "Dos!" and "Tre!" with 37 songs in total. The single is for the CD "Dos!" which it will be the first one to be out the following month, "One!" will be out on November and "Tre!" in January of 2013.

I really like the new song and i think that what they did this time is huge. They already did big thing with "American idiot" released in 2004 and afterwords even better with "21th Century breakdown" was released in 2009. They even have an musical of American idiot since 2010. And now what?
Honestly, i've been thinking for the last year that after those two masterpieces, what they would do for the next record to don't let their fans down. But what a surprise, when they released a new album with three CD's and all are new songs!! that's has been totally unexpected for me and i can't wait to listen them all.

For the people that maybe don't now them, I will do a brief introduction of the band. Green Day is an American punk rock band formed in 1987, originally from California. The band consists of lead vocalist and guitarist Billie Joe Amstrong, bassist and backing vocalist Mike Dirnt, and drummer Tre Cool. Green Day's sound is often compared to first wave punk bands such as the The Clash or The Ramones also other influences of Green Day is The Who.

I really recommend to see this band on a concert. I went to see them for the very first time, back in Barcelona, in October of 2009 and they blow my mind. I can say that they are a proper punk band, the show was amazing and for me Joe Amstrong is a very good showman. He was all the time going around the stage while he was sinning, so you could feel they energy that they have. All of us were jumping without stop for the two hours of concert, I was there thinking that I would like to be there for few more hours. For me one of the best concert of punk that i've ever saw.

There you have a list of my favorites clips and also a full concert in Tokyo of Green Day as well you can find the the new single. Enjoy listening one of the best bans!!

My Play List of Green Day


Green Day - Live in Tokyo 



As well for more information see also the official web site of Green Day Where there's news, the tour dates, all the videos and more...

Please feel free to leave your comments about Green Day, what you think of this band or as well, about my post so that way i can improve my next post.

What about?

Well, yesterday I only spoke about why i'm doing this. But I didn't explain what i'm going to do.

I remember when I was 12 there was lots of channels with music, and my favourite one was MTV. Was lots of music, interviews with the bands... and now I realize that from maybe 4 years ago MTV has changed and not for better. Now is only shit programs about nobody...

So such a dissapointment when I went to Barcelona last July, and when I turn on my tv ready to see some clips and I couldn't find anything on MTV. I spend searching for just even one program of music, but nothing apart for sweet 16 or Jersey Shore....

So that's why I though to create a blog, it would be as MTV were before with: information on the bands and Festivals, leastes clips, what is on and I will let u know my opinion as well, so that way you can write yours.

I hope you guys like the idea of this blog. I will try to get it ready as soon as possible.
Thanks!!

First day!

Hi everyone!!

I would like to dedicated this blog to the most important thing in my life which is the music.

Since i have memory i've been always surrounded by her. Sometimes she has been my only companion, the one capable to understand me emotions or sometimes it's for the pleasure to just listen the music.

Actually, i've assumed that was normal listening music almost every hour of the day. I though that everyone does and only my parents were complaining about it just because they didn't like my music. But since i've move to London, almost two years ago from now, and i've been shearing a flat with my friends i didn't realize the way was so into the music.

They always said the i'm the Dj of the house, because by the time that i walk through my bedroom's door in the morning with my laptod in my hands, they know that in a minute or other i will turn on my itunes list or just go to Youtube to check was new.

I don't know how started, but i love to be the first one to know about the lasted clips or the news bands that are coming out. I really enjoy when i put this new music on and someone ask me about the band or the song because they like it too. As far as i've been playing the role of the "Dj in the house", no one complain about my music. Just only when i get stuck with a song or a band instead.

So i might guess that it means that i have a good sense of music, and that's because i really open mind in terms of music. i can listen every kind of music, thought that i gave my preferences. I  thin is "silly" say that only one kind of music is the best one.

Actually, when i'm on my holidays back to Barcelona, is when my flatmates told me that is something missing in the house, like if without me and my music there's no fun at home. That's because i'm not putting just music i'm also dancing or singing, even my voice is not the best one in the world and i make my friends dance too. So yes, we can say that i'm kind of crazy-funny girl.

For all those reasons, and as well because my friends has been pushing me so bad to do something respect all my music knowledge, i decide to create this blog.
I hope everyone like it!
