As promised last week, a non Take That post but not totally unrelated: this week it’s You Know Me by ex Take That member Robbie Williams.
Great song, fun video and definitely going to be one of my favourites of 2010. Definitely elicits a very “old school” vibe too – hope you like it as much [...]

To wrap up the month-long Take That love fest, here is Everything Changes, complete with a lovely campy video of the boys back in the early ’90s.

Although the title of the song is Everything Changes, to me the key line in the song is
Though everything changes around us; we will be the same as before [...]

In the penultimate Take That week, here’s “Nobody Else”. The music video isn’t the actual video but rather following the boys through the ages -brings back memories!
I have to say on a personal note, I haven’t heard this song in a long time, and it’s taken on a whole new dimension listening to it now [...]

This week I’m featuring arguably one of Take That’s best songs ever – Back For Good, but with a twist!
We all know the nice, mellow ballad that was sung by the boys, here comes Robbie Williams’s solo rendition at a concert! Love it!

Second week of Take That and here’s one of my favourites that the boys have ever done – the song’s a sad one, but I think the lyrics, music and vocals go great together.

In a shocking revelation, I realise that in over a year of talking about Music Mondays, I’ve never dedicated one to Take That – the group I consider to be the best boyband of all time. I think when I started Music Mondays I told myself I’d do something for Take That if I could [...]

When I was young (not all that long ago) the one CD that was in the car year in year out was the Carpenters Christmas album (a tradition that continues to this day) so I thought we’d end off the year with a final Christmas-themed Music Monday with a song from what I feel is [...]

Because I can’t feature Jason Mraz enough on this blog – here’s a song from Vimeo called Happy Holidayz.
Just in time for Christmas too.

I’m a huge fan of Lost (but you know that already), and I think what makes Lost stand out compared to every other show out there is the music.
Since season one, the very talented Michael Giacchino has scored music that not only brings the exact emotion required for each scene, but he’s also steadily composed [...]

And with a year (52) weeks of posting, I’m reverting back to normal numerals instead of roman!
I may not look it, but I’m a huge fan of Japanese RPG games. One the best I’ve played ever is Tales of Vesperia for the Xbox 360. It’s a brilliant combination of fun gameplay, and engaging plot, gorgeous [...]
