Ed She Ran!

Heyaaaa,

I really dont know why I put "Ed She Ran!" as the title for this post, because to my awareness no one ran! :/

BUTTT...

...yesterday I saw Ed Sheeran in the Hammersmith Apollo (cinema turn't gig space - and when I told my mate this, she was like "I don't care").



Anyway, he was amazing (two words I use often "Anyway" and "amazing"). He really got the crowd going, and some times his gig was calm, and other times they were pretty mad and intense! At one point he got everyone to put there arms round the person they came with and to sway with them. This was fun, my only issue is that my mate is about 5cm tall and I'm about a metre tall (if we could convert it in to cm stuff - I really should stop teasing her about her height, really she cant do anything to change it - therefore I declare (right here, right now) on blogspot that I love her shortness, and I only tease her out of love! Amen).

Ed Sheeran was really good live, and to be honest I kinda knew what to expect because I saw him at the Hackney Weekender, but the HUGEEE stage didnt do him much justice because his music is quite raw.

He used the loopy thing a couple of times, and got the audience to be quiet, and it felt really nice - it felt like I was in a personal recording session with Ed, and just watching him do his thing.

As always, I did my "Woooooo!" thing, and I always aimed to catch the quiet points in the gig (obviously except the times he told everyone to be quiet).



In addition to Ed, he also had some fantastic support acts.One of which, was amazing in terms of vocals and sounded like a one man band Mumford and Son. He's name was Passenger and I guess you could check him out. I think he has a EP coming out soon (or its just come out, I cant remember which).

ANYWAY, last night was pretty epic, I got home mega late, and still had homework to do. I thought, lemme go to bed now, and in the morning I will see a more motivated, young individual who isn't so tired!

Angel Haze runs NY



King Krule has reworked Angel Haze - New York and it sounds amazing!

So a little (tiny winy bit of) information about Angel Haze:
Shes an American rapper from Michigan and shes signed to Universal Republic and Island.
Angel, has recently released her EP Reservation online (back in July) - and shes one to look out for.

She has that old school rap vibe to her music which I really enjoy. And this reworked version is simply bliss to listen to (Well Done Archy)!

YOUTUBE comment: STEVENCHING73 "What a pile of hipster bullshit." I personally fail to see where you're coming from...

Hiyaaa,

Happy Monday, and Happy First Day of the Month (its October alreadly, ahhh!).

So, yesterday I was listening to Radio One (as I normally do on a Sunday). And Annie Mac started playing this...[Wild Belle - It's Too Late]



And I was like...
"Oh my, this is amazing!"

She is like the American Ava Leigh (but not as good!) and I love the video, I think its amazing.

Oh yeah, the reason a youtubers comment is in the title is because it really caught my eye. STEVENCHING73 said " What a pile of hipster bullshit." And I was like WAHH, have you got cotton wool stuck in your ears, stop labelling people and just listen to the music (who cares if shes a hipster, or if she isn't, just enjoy the music). This song is amazing, and sounds beautiful and the video is just perfect, and I was just so baffled as to why anyone would say that!
