Win a Pixies Screen Print!

Hey Everyone,

So, I was recently given a screen print of 

The Pixies' Doolittle album and thought that I 

would make a competition out of it! 

I have created the competition through 'Rafflecopter'
so there's no spam or dodgy stuff (:

Here is a picture of the poster:

The background is an olive-blue colour and

has been printed with matte gold paint.

A brilliant poster that will look good in any office or

home - if you don't like it your parents might? 

About Doolittle

Doolittle was The Pixies' second album and was released in

1989 on 4AD. It went on to chart at #8 in the UK album 

charts and received brilliant reviews from 

critics and magazines. 'Debaser', 'Here Comes Your

Man' and 'Mokey Gone to Heaven' were all released as singles-

 it was The Pixies' first album that had a major impact 

on the charts and the music industry. 

The competition will start at 6pm tomorrow so if you'd 

like to enter follow this link to my facebook page

Good Luck,

If I Could Pick Any Song......

It would be......

Stay High (Habits Remix)

By 

Tove Lo ft. Hippie Sabotage

Bio: Ebba Tove Elsa Nilsson, aka Tove Lo,

is a Swedish pop singer-songwriter as well as musician.

At 26, she has released her first EP 'Truth Serum'

and has written songs for many artists including

Icona Pop. The Stay High habits remix charted at

number 6 in the UK. 

I was recommended this song by a friend and at

first I wasn't sure about it. But after hearing it for 

the second time, I ironically became addicted.

It starts with an intriguingly repetitive

'Oh-oh' and after 15 seconds launches into an intense

beat. The lyrics are remixed to repeat and bounce around

the inside of your head - truly amazing stuff!

Tove Lo sings with desperation at needing

'something to numb the pain'. 

You can feel the hurt.

There's also the original version which is just as good but

has a slower tempo and smaller beat although the lyrics are 

just as smart and quirky (I eat my dinner in my bathtub/

then I go to sex clubs)

Crazy, I know!

Have a good evening,

Part I of Interview with Tenterhook

Hey Everyone! 

Today, I have Part I of my

interview with Tenterhook. A 19 year

old singer/songwriter called Archie

 from Portobello in

London. 

~~ Click here to listen to his  ~~

beautiful song "Stereo" 

1. Could you please introduce yourself

and your instrument?

I am Archie, I am 19 and I play guitar and piano

2. Where do you call "home"?

London

3. How did you come to chose the name Tenterhook?

I thought the name had a ring to it. I have been using

 various musical aliases and tenterhook was the name

 I felt most creative with.

4. How long have you been in the music business?

As I am only 19 probably only 6 months or so. I have always been

 in bands and written with friends however nothing serious and on

 the whole what I was doing was pretty poor.

5. Where do you find inspiration for your songs,

especially Stereo?

As all of the best songwriters know; in order to write a great song you

 need to write about something close to your heart. My main aim is to 

capture the emotion I am feeling at points in my life both lyrically and melodically. 

The story and meaning behind stereo is something I am not proud of and 

as of yet no one has grasped the true meaning behind the song and 

in some sense I would like to keep it that way.

19 year old Archie Faulks

Not only does he write beautiful songs but 

he also featured on XFM's Great X-Pectations

page, So make sure to watch out for him in the

near future! 

If you're interested in seeing Tenterhook live,

he will be playing The Great Escape Festival

on the 8th May 2014 (tickets can be found

here)

Part II of this interview will be available within

the next few days,so be sure to 

check-in again soon.

Lots of Love,
