She's my role model... and I admire her a lot, she's just perfect in my eyes, and has great taste in men (mmmmmm Ryan Jarman), she has a good voice, she's great live, she's just great :)
Oh and she picked my tshirt design to be made :) which is just great!
Favourite tracks- Birds, Kiss That Grrrl, Later On, Mansion Song, We Get On, Mariella.
2) The Libertines - Well I have never met anyone who has listened to the libertines and not like them, I think it's actually impossible. Carl Barat and Pete Doherty are just perfect together as a song writing unit, and when you start listening to the music you can't help but be drawn in by their charm! I find myself buying books about them, listening to old interviews, and just wanting to know EVERYTHING about The Libertines. You can become obsessed quickly, and well it's not a bad thing to get obsessed with...
This year I was lucky enough to see them reformed at Leeds Festival, and in the crowd everyone knew how special it was, maybe the people taking cocaine didn't but you'd hear little in jokes of libertines fans about the likely lads, and you'd see people in their red military jackets, and well it was all very special.
Favourite tracks- Death On The Stairs, Never Never (demo), Smashing (demo), I Get Along, France, and like all their songs they are all fantastic!
3) The Cribs - I could listen to The Cribs all day, and often do. They make consistantly great records, they are wonderful live, and Ryan Jarman well isn't he just adorable?
I'm actually fascinated by them, because if you know The Cribs you'll know they're from Wakefield, well I'm from Wakefield too, and well Wakefield is a shit hole, and that could be considered to complimentary, I am truly amazed that The Cribs... an amazing band came from here!
Their music is really great, I don't know how else to describe it, I think I bought all their EPs today, and they are brilliant!
And well Johnny Marr.. legend. Is a guitarist in The Cribs, need I say anymore?
Oh and I fancy the pants off Ryan Jarman, and he gave me a thumbs up :)
Favourite tracks- Housewife, The Watch Trick, Hey Scenesters, Mens Needs, Save your secrets, and like loads more I cant be arsed listing because it would take up the majority of my post!
4) The Smiths - I think it's in my blood to like The Smiths, all my uncles like them, and my mum does, and well I suppose it's only natural for me to. And they are great, I don't know how to put this into any more words, if you've never heard of them which I have met many of you! I think you need educating because The Smiths are easily one of the greatest british bands of all time, and its about time you should know that.
Favourite tracks- Frankly Mr Shankly, Bigmouth Strikes Again, Shakespeare's Sister, Panic, Nowhere Fast, Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now....
5) We Are Scientists - I think this band deserves a mention because they were the first band I ever fell in love with, aged 11 I discovered them, god knows how, I didnt even read NME when i was 11, and they arent even a recognisable name now, but it doesnt matter how I discovered them, all that matters is that I love them, because they are great, they have some great songs, all three of their albums are good, and they put on a good show! I finally got to see them this year which was just fantastic and I was so close to the front! I felt like an excited 11 year old girl afterwards!
Oh and they are hilarious!
Favourite tracks- the great escape, after hours, nobody move nobody gets hurt, chick lit, rules dont stop.
6) Arctic Monkeys - I feel sorry for whoever had to listen to me when I was going through my madly deeply in love with Arctic Monkeys stage, they are a fantastic band, i saw them live and they were great! They have the best b sides in the world, and I love them, I don't think I will ever stop loving them, I don't listen to them as much as I used to do but they hold a special place in my heart :') haha If you dont listen to them, I suggest you go out and buy all their albums straight away!
Favourite tracks- teddy Picker, When The Sun Goes Down, Cornerstone, Still Take You Home, Temptation Greets You Like Your Naughty Friend, Bigger Boys And Stolen Sweethearts, Fake Tales Of San Fransisco..............
I think this is enough of my favourite artists for now.
Ok, Bye.
