Music is: Waves on a shore | Featuring Seafret, The Winter Tradition, Path Unknown, The Blue Waves

Waves on a shore blogMy second themed review, Waves on a Shore, features Seafret, Tides and Telegrams by The Winter Tradition, Blink by Path Unknown, and The Blue Waves.

A little recklessly, I decided to tackle this series illustrating my ‘Music is’ strapline whilst tired through lack of sheep. This theme represents how music causes similar emotions – good and bad – to those I’m reminded of personally by coastland and waves crashing onto rocks on the shore.

Sticking to my blog’s emphasis on British unsigned and independent bands makes things trickier. Especially as I’m still sleep deprived, because my fence-leaping flock Continue reading

My merry-go-round theme features Carousels and Limousines, Albion Sky by Alistair Griffin, Roundabout by The Starkins and Dead Horses by The Lake Poets. Continue reading

Alistair Griffin From Nowhere, the new album – a sheepish review

From Nowhere is Alistair Griffin’s third album with an interesting little twist. Announced by Griffin as the sporting anthems compilation, it’s an album’s worth of songs he’s written or pitched for sport soundtracks, and they’re not even all on it!

With tongue super-glued in cheek, I suggested in my review of his previous album that sports-mad Griffin should put all his sporting-montage songs on an EP and call it Maniacal Montage Mayhem, never thinking that he’d Continue reading

Alistair Griffin’s single The One with Leddra Chapman and a striking sleep aid

It’s a bit noisy in here as since the incident with the ironing there have been 26 striking sheep with little placards blocking up the landing, bleating about overtime rates.

The last thing I need is grumpy, uncooperative sheep when I’m trying to get to sleep. One has broken ranks and is Continue reading
