The Man Who Fell To Earth.

I’ve always thought the expression you don’t know what you have until it’s gone was a rather cringe worthy expression, but in this case it’s the truest thing I’ve ever possibly heard. David Bowie the man that meant a huge amount to a large amount of people, the man that I personally thought would out live us all is sadly no longer with us after a 18 month battle with cancer, Bowie passed away peacefully with his family by his side at the age of 69 in New York.

I’m not particularly sure why I’m writing this because no words can justify how much I adore this man and how truly heartbroken and devastated I am that the man that means everything to me is no longer here, ever since I was four years old and my mum insisted that I watch the labyrinth even though it scared the shit out of me and it still does now, ever since I heard heroes this man has been my hero and he always will be.
I feel like a part of me has died and of course I don’t think I’m the only one who feels this way, personally I feel like something in the atmosphere has changed like the world has shifted because a true genius is gone, he inspired so many generations and forever more he will inspire a whole new generation with his music and of course just everything about his beautiful mind and self.

Bowie personally showed me that it was okay to be myself to be that weird outsider that liked different things that was different to everyone, he taught me to be flamboyant and to be confident and to be the person i wanted to be rather than being like everyone else, whether it was though his music or his films or just him in general, he had something about him and I’ve never been able to place what it is about him,i just know that he will be missed deeply by so so so so many people, including myself.
Rest in peace you beautiful and genius man, thank you for everything you’ve ever done, you will forever be in my heart and everyone else’s.

Disclaimer I apologise for how unarticulated this is I’m a huge mess and I can’t particularly form the right words to say at this moment in time.

Part One Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost review.

Part One Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost review. Oh hello! It’s me your local mushroom, I have returned to my now pretty much-forgotten blog which makes me so very sad, but honestly in the past two months there hasn’t been any spare time to write anything for myself which makes me so sad, because all I ever I want to do is write and make people listen to my insignificant opinions on everything and anything. But finally I have found some time in my mad hectic life to finally write something for myself, between working pretty much full time, doing a degree and trying to have some kind of social life and semi-normal sleeping pattern, I haven’t had a spare second to write anything, that is however until the wonder that is Foals new album came out three days ago, and now I’m about to make you read this delightful little waffle on this beautiful album that I haven’t stopped listening to for the past three days, and to think this is the only first half of the album, boys we are in

Albums Of The Year.

Well, here we are. It’s albums of the year time once again this year has been both the longest and shortest year maybe ever in terms of music, when I was putting this list together I couldn’t actually believe that some of these albums came out this year because it seems that I’ve been listening to these albums for what feels like an eternity but in the best way possible of course. Putting this list together and listening back to these albums have been well a little bit emotional won't lie. All these albums mean something to me in different ways and marked a part of my life this year that I didn’t even realize, I mean sometimes some of these songs brought back memories that made me want to do a little sicky, but you know it happens, again putting this list together was a mixture of pretty simple choices and some of the hardest, I could only pick ten because otherwise, this list would have gone on forever and ever, of course, there are some honorable mentions that I couldn’

Why “Reggie Yates Life And Death In Chicago” is so important.

509. People as of July 2016, have been killed this year alone in the us, 123 if these people were black, 13 percent of Americans belong to this ethnic group. Michael Brown was the first black male shot by police that I was aware of, and his death was just over two years ago. You would think that his death would have created such an impact that this would be the last time we saw or heard of anything like this. But it somehow made it worse, the loss of his life seemed to be the start of something, something I thought I would never have to witness. So why is the black lives matter movement, and programmes about police brutality so important and why is an eighteen year old white girl writing about it? Honestly I’m not to sure myself, but I do know I’m angry. I’m angry that its got to this stage, angry that so many people and life’s have already been lost, angry that people are only just realsing how important this movement is, and to use they power and voice to speak out about it, and
