ULL: Patman360

Sup guys! I'm not really sure how to approach this, so I guess I'll just dive right in and if anyone has any queries regards my background in music (Or life in general), feel free to as away. I am a bit intimidated by this, not gonna lie, some of the logs so far have been incredible and I really don't know how I can match them, but heck, it's all a bit of fun, so here it goes... So I've had a reasonably busy day (By busy I mean playing pool, Xbox and watching football with mates, I also read some comics (Nerd!) and worked on my thesis for awhile, so it was at least somewhat productive anyway...). But despite this I'll find time for a few albums in my day, which included: Hymn To The Immortal Wind by Mono These guys are a Japanese post-rock band, I'm very hit and miss with a lot of post-rock but there's something about these guys that draws me in, a friend introduced me to them about 2 years ago but lately I've been sort of rediscovering them. I find this fascinating at times, it can send shivers down your spine but keeps drawn in all the same. It can tense but thrilling at the same time. It's kind of the soundtrack to my dreams. Everything Will Be Alright In The End by Weezer I actually really enjoyed this, sure, it was never going to reach the heights of their first 2 albums (Not even close), but it's a hell of a lot better than some of the other stuff they've put out in recent years (I'm looking at you Raditude). Granted, this album is a bit cringe-worthy at times, ('The British Are Coming' didn't do much for me), but I found myself really digging this for one reason or another, it's catchy and fun pop rock. it's just simple I guess and that just seems to work for Weezer in this case. Anyway, it's jazz weekend here in Cork (Big deal!) so I've been listening to a lot of local bands as I kinda get in that mood at times like this (Not even many jazz ones...). There's some great music here that will never reach a massive world scale (There's also some atrocious stuff here too though). But anyway, I'm playing this (FREE DOWNLOADABLE) compilation of local shtuff, a good mix of different genres thrown in there too. Drop-d: Cork Rock City Vol. 2 Personal favourites include Time Is A Thief (Metal-ish, loosely, pop metal maybe, if that could be a thing, fuck knows...), Hope Is Noise (Post-punk (Revival?), sort of, maybe a bit of noise punk also), Letter From Belgium (Ambienty/electronicy shtuff) and I'll Eat Your Face (Instrumental metal/post-rock/alt things). There's a ton of other great musicians around the city, plenty of whom I'm waiting on to release EPs/albums so it's an exciting time for music here. Hit me up with any questions! I'll probably be back on this sooner rather than later, not like I have study to do... 8-[

Been listening to 'The Essential Byrds' all morning, really great listen, just got in the mood for The Byrds after getting 'Turn Turn Turn' stuck in my head.

Sorry about the way this kind of died down. 🙁

It's been a pretty intense week and it's only going to get crazier, so thanks anyway for anyone who had a look at this, appreciate it, again sorry about the lack of in-depth-ness, someday I'll do a better one of these.

Anyway, I leave you with my favourite Blur album.
