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 [...]

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 [...]

Been a really long time since I did one of these YouTube artists, but I just happened to stumble upon Lisa Scinta’s rendition of Whatcha Say by Jason Derulo which samples Hide And Seek by the very talented Imogen Heap, I think this song captures both Whatcha Say and Hide and Seek perfectly, and her [...]

Technically not music, but it does have Mp3 in the title. I thought I’d share a powerful demonstration of what happens when audio plugged in to a crowd:

So while I think Jordin Sparks could lose some weight, that girl can really sing! Case in point: live version of Battlefield with the Jonas Brothers (who don’t really do anything throughout the performance…)

37 weeks into Music Mondays and this has got to be my favourite one yet. If you haven’t already, the first thing you need to do is watch this awesome video. If you’ve already watched it, watch it again!

This is what everyone and anyone who loves music wants to see. Two people dancing to a [...]

There have been quite a few editions of Music Mondays where I hear the song once while I’m driving and really like it but have no way of knowing what song it is. Especially if the DJ doesn’t mention the title or the artist. This used to be a big problem, but not anymore.
