Luke's Marvellous Music World (2)

Hey Guys, it’s me again, Luke. So I promised I’d blog about a different band each week and here we go, my second band is waiting for y’all.

So this time I picked a band that is maybe a little more popular than the first I picked (see my first blog about Bombay Bicycle Club) and without any further explanations, here they are, ARCHIVE.

Again, they come from Britain and they do electronic, trip - hop, avant garde and some rock. They had success throughout Europe, but ironically not in Britain. They started around 1994 and over they years they released eight studio albums.

In May 2009 they released, in my opinion, their best album called “The Controlling Crowds”. With this album they climbed the charts in France, Switzerland, Luxembourg and Greece. The single “Bullets” that came with the album - also one of my favorites - was also their most successful single and hit the charts in Greece, Poland, Switzerland, France and Germany like a freight train and shot to the top of the charts.

They toured trough Europe with “Controlling Crowds”, but unfortunately I never got the chance to see them live and in action. That’s actually one of my dreams, to see them on a show.

Now I can’t really talk about all their albums, but I’ll tell you a little bit ‘bout “Controlling Crowds”, which is the best one anyways. So the album has 13 songs on it and the Genre of tracks contains everything from electronic to rock and modern music genres. It starts with a 10:09 minutes song which is named like the album “Controlling Crowds”.

The set up of the album is perfect and it switches from calm to exciting, which makes it just a pleasure to listen to. So if your either into electronic or hip/hop or rock or you just like all of it, this album has it all, so don’t forget and tune into it sometime. My favorite songs in “Controlling Crowds” are the hit single “Bullets” as well as “kings of Speed” and my absolute favorite “Razed to the Ground”.

So hope you guys learned some more and I hope you’ll listen to a few songs and thanks for reading my blog. Next week there’ll be a new band so I’ll see you guys around.

Peace out, Luke

Teaser Tuesday (2)/Giveaway

Happy Teaser Tuesday :)

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along!

Just do the following:
Grab your current read
Open to a random pageShare two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

So this week I'm sharing a special Teaser. Why special you ask? Well I just started reading City of Bones (a really good friend of mine (a.k.a. Luke) read my post about the TMI movie and was shocked by the fact that I haven't read the series yet so he lend me his copy of City of Bones, thanks a lot Buddy :D) so the catch is: I'm reading the German version so I'm gonna post the Teaser first in German and then I will translate it as good as I can :) ENJOY!

"" "Mom?" " Oh Clary. Gott sei Dank." In Clarys Kopf schrillten alle Alarmglocken. Ihre Mutter klang panisch. "Clary, hör mir jetzt gut zu..."Mom, es ist alles in Ordnung. Mir geht's gut. Ich bin auf dem Weg nach Hause..." "NEIN!" Nackte Angst sprach aus Jocelyns heiserer Stimme."Komm nicht nach Hause. Hast du verstanden, Clary? Komm auf keinen Fall nach Hause. Geh zu Simon und bleib bei ihm, bis ich dich..." Ein Hintergrundgeräusch unterbrach sie,irgendetwas Schweres fiel zu Boden, zersprang dort mit einem lauten Klirren...""

"" "Mom?" "Oh Clary. Thank God." The Alarm rings went off in Clary's head. Her mother sounded as if she was panicking. "Clary, now listen to me carefully..." "Mom, everything is alright. I'm fine. I'm on my way home..." "NO!" Jocelyn's hoarse voice was thick with fear. "Do not come home. Did you understand Clary? Not matter what don't come home. Go to Simon and stay with him until I get ..." A noise in the background interrupted her, something heavy fell on the floor,burst there with a loud clank...""

And just for those who are wondering this is the dress I -> wore for my Junior Prom last year. :) (and no that’s not me in the dress it’s just a picture from a site online, btw it’s a Mystique Prom dress they have really cute and cheap ones, too)It wasn’t my first choice but once I tried it on it was just like WOW!

So happy Prom shopping everyone!(don't forget to leave a comment and tell us what you think about these dresses and especially about YOUR prom dress we definitely appreciate it :), maybe I'll do a second part? Who knows? xD)

The Mortal Instruments-the movie

So as I read not too long ago Lilly Collins got the role of Clary Fray. Unfortunately I haven't read The Mortal Instruments series yet (huge sad face here!). Now (as probably all of you already know) the producers of the movie offered Alex Pettyfer the role of Jace! All I can say to that is: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! OMG! Alex Pettyfer is definitely in my personal top 10 of guys to drool over (he might just be #1 xD)!!!!! I mean come on look at him! He's just so waaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! xD Here's a picture to prove it:

The only downside is that I always pictured Alex Pettyfer to play Daniel in Fallen by Lauren Kate, so if he should accept the role as Jace then he might not want to do the Fallen movies :( I mean he already has 2 YA movies coming out (Beastly,I am Number 4) so maybe he doesn't wanna do YA book movie adaptions anymore after TMI? But enough of all the sad faces let's rather swoon about Alex Pettyfer xD
