In 2010 I have learnt that music is great. This realisation has coincided with my completion of secondary education. Now, as school is over forever and I no longer have to churn out tawdry essays, I have decided to share my love for music with the world.
To give you a snapshot of my musical tastes, here are the bands which feature in my Top 100 Most Played Songs on iTunes:
- Angus and Julia Stone
- Arcade Fire
- Art vs Science
- Bag Raiders
- Bon Iver
- Boy and Bear
- Bright Eyes
- Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros
- Gypsy and the Cat
- Jeff Buckley
- Jinja Safari
- Jonathan Boulet
- Jónsi
- Little Red
- Local Natives
- MGMT
- The Middle East
- The Naked and Famous
- Neutral Milk Hotel
- Passion Pit
- Phoenix
- Regina Spektor
- Steppenwolf
- The Strokes
- Tame Impala
- The Temper Trap
- TV on the Radio
- White Rabbits
- Wolf Parade
- The XX
- Yeasayer
But in a year, this list could be vastly different. Who knows, maybe even with completely antithetical bands. I mean, a year ago, Zeppelin, Clapton and Hendrix were the extent of my musical taste.
I plan to feature album reviews, new bands/songs, gig reviews. As I am based an hour outside of Sydney, Australian artists will be prevalent. That’s only a good thing though, since the strength of the national music scene is growing exponentially.
For now, I will leave you with two songs. One is my most played song on iTunes, the other is a timeless classic that inspired the words at the top of this webpage.
