However, hopefully Klaxons’ new album, Surfing The Void, will reinvigorate things again. Furthermore, due to my significant lack of funds, I am not going to Reading, even though two of my favourite bands are playing (that is Arcade Fire and The Libertines by the way). So, I thought I would give you a peak at my IPod, to see what I’m listening to at the moment.
Eminem, ’25 To Life’ (from Recovery): Eminem is back to his formidable best, and ’25 To Life’ captures this better than any other song on Recovery. The song is about Em’s tempestuous relationship with rap music: “When you spoke to people who meant the most to you/You left me off your list/Fuck you hip-hop/I’m leaving you, my life sentence is served bitch.” For Eminem, rap has simultaneously brought him out of poverty, whilst also leading him down a road of self-destruction. With a great chorus, killer rap and a brilliant beat over an acoustic guitar, this song really has everything that makes Mr. Mathers a genius.
