Well I did it...125 Albums that you should own and 1 year full of Blogging pleasure...As I celebrate the 1 year anniversary here at NeilesLife I have many people to thank...and I think you know who you all are (cause I`m too lazy to name all of you)..Seriously though..thanks to all of you guys who come here and read my shitty grammar and stories about Music, Movies, Life and Culture...I started this blog cause I needed something to keep my mind off of Cigarettes and without the help of you guys NeilesLife wouldn`t be going strong [...]
I'm excited. I'm often in a state of giddy excitement, but tonight I'm especially excited for two reasons. Here they are: The Guillemots The Guillemots are surprisingly good. Well, they surprised me, anyway. A young lady called Gemma put me on to them a few weeks ago when I asked her for a recommendation, and I've been enjoying their album considerably since. I've not seen a lot of writing in the blogosphere about Guillemots, which surprises me, so here's a couple of their tracks to spread [...]
Ironia é o meu ipod em modo random tocar 3 musicas dos Guillemots de uma vez. A seguir a ti. Aquela pitada de mar com tanta esperança à mistura... (Mp3) Guillemots - Trains to Brasil (acoustic) (Mp3) Guillemots - Made up lovesong #43 (Mp3) Guillemots - We're Here (Piano)
These guys are really cool. Everyone I ask about them seems to either think that they're totally great or just trying to be Coldplay (so wrong...). Personally, I feel like Guillemots have their own distinct sound and really just need to be given a chance. The great part about them is that the band doesn't just consist of old friends that like to jam, it's made of a multinational group with multinational musical backgrounds. When a classical pianist, a Canadian double-bassist, Scottish drummer and Brazilian guitarist join forces, the product can be, at worst, extremely interesting and at best (in [...]
It'll be given out tonight. Apparently, bookies are pulling for Arctic Monkeys . In fact, word is that if they don't win it would be a MAJOR disappointment. I think there's some stiff competition from Editors and Thom Yorke...also Guillemots. Don't count out the underdog! I guess we'll find out in a few hours... In the meantime: Editors - Munich [...]
The presence of Peaches Geldof at Reading tells you pretty much all you might feel the need to know about Reading these days - it's as if Lorraine Chase went there during the 1980s, isn't it? The Sunday Mirror suggests that she'd arranged the gig merely to be well-placed to catch the eye of her current love-target. Danny Tourette. Yes, from Towers of London. A source said: "Peaches was following Donny around like a lost puppy. His girlfriend, who works at Capital FM, was with him but that didn't put [...]
I Bet You Were Expecting A "Number Two" Joke Elton John, "Are You Ready For Love?" (radio rip) HA! And you thought this week was going to be nothing but old shit you'd already downloaded before - what other route could I possibly take than to seize upon today as my cue to post something (1) new and (2) astonishing as a reward for my intrepid readers brave/lame enough to visit this site on a Friday? I mean, I couldn't possibly have overlooked the fact that [...]
London, UK Guillemots (pronounced Gilly-Motz) has such a classic sound. The vocals are soft and delicate; the music is rich in magnificent strings and powerful baselines. Preceded by a few noteworthy EPs, Through The Windowpane is the band’s debut full-length. It was finally released in the UK last month, but there is no word on when or if it’ll be available domestically. "Made Up Love Song #43" [...]

For every album review you read that contains the words "grand" and "expansive", there's a dozen or so albums that aspire to that kind of description. Sadly, even most of the albums that have received those kinds of adjectives don't live up to them. "The world is our dancefloor now, remind me how to dance again" Fyfe Dangerfield and his Guillemots are a London-based quartet, and Through the Windowpane is their official debut, though they've release a handful of [...]
I feel a bit rubbish for not posting in so long, and not keeping up with my weekly art post. I had one lined up for the past two weeks but I've been away for the past two weekends and not had a chance to finish them off. I guess I'll just post when I can, so here's a relatively normal post while I get back in the groove There's been a fair few sad announcements in the past week. Arthur Lee of the rather fantastic band Love passed [...]

Billy Joel, "Scenes from an Italian Restaurant" Guillemots, "Annie, Let's Not Wait" Talk all the shit about Billy Joel that you want to - go on, I'll even give you a minute to terraform your contempt to your liking - but the simple fact of the matter is that you're about as likely to talk my copy of The Stranger or 52nd Street or An Innocent Man out of my CD collection as you are to talk a baby out of its mother's loving [...]
...V ale muito dar uma espiada no blog 'I am a fuel, you are friends' trazendo faixas novas de 'Damien Rice' (que promete para Dezembro o tão aguardado segundo disco), umas raridades (e das boas!) de 'Jeff Buckley' e a fantástica história das 500 fitas encontradas dos 'Beatles', da sessão do 'Let it be' , com mais de 200 covers, de 'Elvis' a 'Rod Stewart' ... Surrupiadas de lá: [...]
So, I've been putting this off. Mainly because I'm kind of over lists right now and they're completely meaningless. If you read MOKB regularly, you know what I like, so why is it so important to rank them? Because that's what bloggers do. We rank and analyze and report, then you tell us how stupid we are. I love that part actually. Anyway, I know I have access. More than most, so I might have heard things you haven't or that aren't out yet, I apologize if it bothers you that I [...]

Ecco un'anticipazione, di 40 secondi, di quello che probabilmente sarà il singolo estratto dal nuovo album (ancora senza titolo e la cui uscita non è prevista prima del 3 Ottobre) degli... Leggi ancora
The Guillemots along with the recently mentioned Jim Noir are derservedly being touted in the UK as among this year's brightest hopes. Thankfully the band don't sound like an ugly Gang Of Four/XTC hybrid but instead have ignored bratty cynicism for pure emotion and a passion that conjures up prime time Dexys Midnight Runners and the type of Big Music Mike Scott was famous before he went all hey
Did you know this is my 500th post? Kinda crazy. I figured I should do something special to honor the occasion, so I thought I would list my five favorite albums so far this year. In no particular order, here they are: Margot & The Nuclear So & So's - The Dust of Retreat I haven't been listening to The Dust of Retreat as much lately as I [...]
Aber sei ehrlich. Und mache nicht wie Guillemots einen „Made up love song43“ daraus. Dann bin ich auch wieder froh. Oder auch nicht. mp3: Guillemots / MadeUpLovesong43 Guillemots , music , download , mp3
