Boys Like Girls, Fakes, Stupidity and Smarties.

Without wanting to turn this into a music blog, I have another album to talk about. :)


This one is called Boys Like Girls. Like the Metro Station one, its self titled. It's called Boys Like Girls, by Boys Like Girls. Obviously not very imaginative people. It's good. I also ordered it off've Amazon, but this time it was a nice chap in Brighton who sent it to me, so no cracks in the cover. Looking at the print it is possibly going to be quite samey and unimaginative, but I had already listened to some of their songs (okay, most of them...they only have this album, and only have 12 songs) and I was really stunned about the vocal ability of the main singer guy. Serious, this guy is really good. The songs are catchy and easy to follow. Not as happy clappy as Metro Station, but its not like woah thats so deep man, have a listen.
Okay so heres the line up:




  1. The Great Escape

  2. Five Minutes To Midnight

  3. Hero/Heroine

  4. On Top Of The World

  5. Thunder

  6. Me, You and My Medication

  7. Up Against The Wall

  8. Dance Hall Drug

  9. Learning To Fall

  10. Heels Over Head

  11. Broken Man

  12. Holiday
It's good stuff, but check them on Spotify first. It is an aquired taste. Go on. :) But give them a couple of listens before you write them off. They're not too bad. I like them.

FAKEs. I can't bear them. I know lots of them. There's this one I know who told everyone that they slit their wrists and then got drunk. They're looking for the wrong sort of attention.
Then they complain that they will never find love ever. No wonder.
I know another one who wears the clothes, with the right people, but they change. I see them in another place and they are different. It's a shame, because only one of the personalities is a good one.

But then I thought. Yeh, their stupid. But their happy. I mean, whats the problem with being hated if you are oblivious and your happy. There's a song that goes like that. We're Stupid, But We're Happy. Okay, cliché alert, but those lyrics changed my life. Seriously. I am going to go and be happy. Because thats all I need, right? I can be gossiped, my name on the tip of tongues, but I could be happy. You know?
Look at the Imbetweeners. I'm sure I have mentioned this but...The group of them. Okay, yes they are fictional but the point still stands. Their happy. Their friends. All the other kids reckon their wierd but thats okay, because their happy.

Smarties :) They come in all different colours but they have changed them. I was eating a packet today and all of the colours are well, shit. You know? Their not bright like they used to be.
They are all dull and silly.

Life goes on.....
