Music-Drop Magazine

This is a new segment of my blog which i am going to dedicate to Old (but not forgotten) artists. The first Albums I will Do this for is Marvin Gaye's "What's Going On" , this is not my favourite album and would not even be in my top 50, but due to it being a critics favourite it gets to go first. Tracklist  1. What's Going On 2. What's Happening Brother  3. Flyin' High (In The Friendly Sky) 4. Save The Children 5. God Is Love 6. Mercy Mercy Me 7. Right On 8. Whole Holy 9. Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler) This album was an album full of firsts, the first album that Marvin produced, his first solo effort without Tammi Terell and the first Motown record that was politically motivated. It was also Marvin And Soul Music's first Concept Album as well as Motown's first album which credited Session Musicians. So even if this album was bad, it would be in the history books anyway. BUT it wasn't bad. No. Not at all. The Album...

Canada; The USA's better behaved brother. This younger  sibling's contribution to the music world is often overlooked or confused for American musical accomplishments. So here i am trying to make people stop and think that "hey, Canada ain't half bad" or maybe just make people know Neil Young Is Canadian not American. The Band -  1964-1977 1983-1999   Perhaps  the best  backing  band ever when they backed Bob Dylan, although their backing of Bob Dylan is  truly  one of their smallest  accomplishments  as they are known to have inspired every artist  going  at the end of the 60s.  BEST 3 Albums Music From Big Pink  (1968) The Band (1969)  Stage Fright (1970)  Joni Mitchell 1967-Present  Now this girl is my favourite Female Artist ever. So why is she only 4th on this list ? well firstly this list is sorted into numbers, and secondly because despite her brilliance she does no...

Hurray it's that time of the month, you know the time, the time i begin to start raving on about how much i love the strypes!!!!! WHAT?!!? you don't know who they are?..... Go google them now, or look at my post on them.... or suffer the consequences.... But seriously i love the stripes, not in a weird Jimmy Saville way... they're the same age as me anyway but.... I'm also straight so it'd be very weird... However i'm not here to write about my sexual orientation, i'm here to talk about the most amazing Irish Boys ever. Yes better than Boyzone, yes better than Westlife... better than rory Gallagher, Gary Moore and Thin Lizzy... maybe not yet. Now words can't describe how amazing they are, so maybe their songs will.

Festival Season is just around the corner. Everyone has got their tickets... i haven't yet but i've got several ones i'm looking at. So heres my opinion of the top 10 festivals of 2013 1. Glastobury Festival  - UK -  26th -30th June Bruce Springsteen Performing there in 2009 What else could it be? honestly every year it will top each list, and each year the line up improves. This year you could be in with a chance to see Rolling Stones, Arctic Monkeys, Mumford & Sons, Elvis Costello, Dizzee Rascal, Primal Scream and many many more. 2. Reading & Leeds Festival - UK  -  21st - 25th August A Best of Video about the festival. The reading and leeds festival is also known for constantly churning out incredible line ups and this year it isn't different with a ticket to this you could see;  Green Day, Fall Out Boy, Biffy Clyro, Eminem, Nine Inch Nails and many more. 3. Rock Werchter - Belgium  -  4th - 7th July  Tame I...

The Chronicles of Marnia a tale of woe, loss and defeat but with no lions, witches or wardrobes. Whys that? Maybe because you can't fit it on a disc. Yep The Chronicles of Marnia is actually not some shoddy fan fiction re-working of C.S.Lewis's prized work, they are actually a rather awesomely named album by the guitar virtuoso Marnie Stern who apparently you can joke with about her parent's unusual name choices. The album itself is rather well crafted and among the better albums of this  year so far, but i know what you're all thinking "That's because you were laughing at the title all the way through the album". Im not going to say i wasn't  laughing all the way through about the title but i will say that i did listen to it, and what i heard i liked. Marnie is one of those guitarists who is unique she is incredible with the guitar and her voice flows so easily alongside her guitars cries.  C.S Lewis you just got out done.

"FLORRIE'S RELEASED A NEW SONG AHHHH"  That was my reaction when i saw her Facebook profile announcing a new song, after waiting through timeless centuries (or maybe a year, time goes fast when you having fun after all) for her first track since her "Late" EP released back in May of last year. Now if you're thinking who is she?????? you may remember her as the beauty from the Nina Ricci advert and the face of that perfume which as a manly man i never used *Cough* *Cough*.  In fact apparently she was in other adverts for them... i don't recall seeing them, but since when has any one heard a multi-national company lie before (Looking at you coca cola). Now off the bat im going to admit if you like my posts on the blues or rock im not sure if you'll enjoy this. It's Synth-Poppy with a tad of 60s added in creating what im going to call "Decent Pop" a rare thing i know.  However back to her song, "live a little" is a son...
