I can't put this in my albums of the year as I've only had 4 tracks from it until recently but those were spectacular and "It's always like this" is a contender for my top track of the year. Absolutely adore it, it's brilliant, simple, isolating, atmospheric, desperate and so well delivered. Magnificent. Check out the tracks I suggested above at least as, as has been highlighted in these parts of late this is one hell of an underrated album.

Here comes the serious bit Pt. II















Probably don't read if you don't want to know how emotionally insecure i am uh- lol

So I wrote about TWLOHA a little while ago and the main focus was rocket summer, I wanted to give a shout out to all the other bands that help out the society. I still don't talk about it but I know i'm going to have to start soon, fact of the matter is in the past few years i've had a parent and a friend commit suicide, the former on my birthday and the latter the same day I was in a car accident, two friends die in seperate car accidents, my grandad and aunt die, and when I try to list them all like this I forget some because I've blocked it all out and it comes out through self-harm. But recently i've been going through hard times and even when I tried to take a break I couldn't escape myself. I feel like I've had my last drink as that was just another way of hurting myself. I'm done with all that, I just want to be healthy and not feel like this.

Anberlin- Audrey Start the revolution
Paramore- We were born for this
Copeland- No one really wins balls
Rocket Summer- Cross my heart
Bayside- Just enough to love you

I have so much more respect for the people at gigs drinking fruit juice than the people drinking beer, sweating and making out with strangers and I know this used to be me but the feeling that I felt was so profound that I feel like I wouldn't even consider doing this again, I want to be all I can be.

(Bombay Bicycle Club- Always Like This)
