The Killers have been announced as the headliners for Bilbao BBK Live in Spain next July. With their fifth studio album on the way, does this mean we'll see them hit the festival circuit next summer, followed in the fall by a European tour?

Razorlight - Before I Fall To Pieces

We're not going back to far for today's #tbt...

Courteeners The 17th Reading + Leeds 2016

Ok strictly speaking, not brand spanking new music today for #newmusictuesday. But it is Tuesday so the best we can do is pretend we're having a good time and it is new-ish. Plus, you know, it's Courteeners and it's fun...

Ed Harcourt - Dionysus (Live At Knebworth)

If we're talking about having more than we can have, can we have more weekend please...

Thomas Rhett - Die A Happy Man

It's been a while since we've had a bit of country on here so we've decided today is a perfect day to rectify that...

Prince, Tom Petty, Steve Winwood, Jeff Lynne and others -- "While My Gui...

Well, hello Rolling Stones - how we've missed you...

The Communards - Never can say goodbye (HD 16:9)

A tbt post to get you dancing...

Isaac Gracie: Live At The Birdcage

It's Wednesday. It's cold. We're very much in the mood for a little mellow guitar and a dreamy voice...

We're rather partial to a bit of The Fray around here, so it's very exciting to get to post them on New Music Tuesday...

Monday please be gentle with us...

Bill Withers - Lovely Day (Original Version)

Yep, pretty much - sun is shining, it's Friday, it's a lovely day...

Fatboy Slim & Riva Starr Ft. Beardyman - Eat, Sleep, Rave, Repeat (Lyric...

Just in case you need a little help getting over that last bit of the Wednesday hump...

Jack Garratt - Worry in the Live Lounge

Let's just take Wednesday a little slow today shall we...

Kaiser Chiefs - We Stay Together & Hole In My Soul

How about a little newish Kaiser Chiefs to start the week. We've heard a lot of talk comparing this to Roxy Music but we hear more than just a little Bowie in there...

Muse - Starlight - Live At Rome Olympic Stadium

A little Muse to get us all in the mood to head back to work tomorrow...

U2 - With Or Without You

Can it really be 40 years since these Irish upstarts burst onto the music scene? Round here, we rather see Joshua Tree as one of the defining albums of our teen years. Guess we know what we'll be listening to today...

MK & Becky Hill - Piece of Me (Official Video)

It's Friday night people - time to hit the dance floor....

Pixies - Tenement Song (Official Video)

Ah, new music from Pixies. This makes us smile...

Basement Jaxx - Red Alert ( Official Video ) Remedy

Well, we don't know about you but our desk is a little buried today. So for tbt, we're going old skool electro to get us moving...

Florence + The Machine - Delilah (The Odyssey – Chapter 8)

It's Monday. Which seems like a perfect excuse for a little Florence. Not that an excuse is ever really needed...

Corinne Bailey Rae - Put Your Records On

Saw Corinne Bailey Rae earlier this week and can't begin to tell you how fabulous she was - what an amazing voice. So - it's Friday and it's been a bit of a tough week hasn't it? Reckon we could all use a little sunshine and the reminder that sometimes "we feel afraid but it's alright". So let's all put on our favourite records tonight and let our hair down...

Radiohead - Creep

A song for the 45th President of the United States...

 

We're going with a little girl power today, can't imagine why

A little loudness from Leeds is a great way to start the week...

Petite Meller - The Flute

Friday and it's time for something new and unusual...

http://www.nme.com/news/music/1780821-1780821

Ah, Muse, how you like to play with us...

Dead Or Alive - Something in My House

Following the very sad news about Pete Burns, there can only be one choice for throwback Thursday this week.  As a teenager growing up in Las Vegas in the 80's, Dead or Alive were among the many bands that started my life-long love affair with British music and culture, one which celebrated individuals who were miles away from the US pop filling the radio waves...

Bear's Den - Dew On The Vine (waveradio.nl sessie 2016)

A perfect voice for a cold, blustery Autumn Monday...

R.E.M. - Shiny Happy People (Video)

We don't know about you, but we're very much shiny, happy people around here on this blissful Sunday....

Goo Goo Dolls - "Iris" [Official Music Video]

SWMRS - Palm Trees [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

Sunday evenings are rather perfect for a little country...

Damien Rice - Cold Water (w/ Lisa)

It's been one of those weeks for which this song was made for...

SLOES - Young (Official Music Video)

For a new music Tuesday, we've chosen a band about whom we can only say "What's not to like"...

New Radicals - You Get What You Give

Ahhhhh, the perfect #tbt song today.  Which just happens to be one our fave morning songs.  Still...

The Maccabees: 'Marks To Prove It,' Live On Soundcheck

We felt it was time to show the Maccabees a little love...

DELAMERE - Black And White Space (NEW INDIE ROCK/POP MUSIC AUGUST 2016)

We think we'll go for something a little dreamy for new music Tuesday.  We're dreaming of lying on a beach right now, how about you...

Tom Odell - Another Love (Vevo Presents)

Ah Mondays.  Definitely an acoustic kind of day...

Tears For Fears - Woman In Chains

We'll take any excuse to revisit one of our favourite bands from the  80's... #tbt

Pentatonix & Dolly Parton - Jolene

Now look, who doesn't love a bit of Dolly...

Twin Wild - My Heart (Official Video)

New music Tuesday and our hearts are rather happy with this choice...

Bloc Party - Stunt Queen (Official Audio)

Mondays are made for new Bloc Party...

Oasis - Don't Go Away

It's Friday.  It's the second day of Fall.  The sun is shining.  We're in an Oasis frame of mind.  Life is good...

Transvision Vamp - I Want Your Love

Wendy James had it going on - we still want to be her...

Viola Beach - Boys That Sing (Maida Vale session)

There's no reason needed for this post...

VanLadyLove - Neverland (Lost Boys Remix)

We love discovering new bands - it's rather easy when we follow people on Instagram that have such amazing taste in music...

Calvin Harris ft. Rihanna - My Way (NEW SONG 2016)

Right, who's ready to get this weekend started???  It may only be lunchtime but hey, it's been a loooonnnggg week...

Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) (Official Video)

We think the voice of an angel is a great choice for #tbt...

The Hunna - Bonfire [Official Video]

Yep, this will do nicely for a Wednesday afternoon...

Kings Of Leon - Waste A Moment (Walls)

New music Tuesday and there can only be one option this week - Kings of Leon have dropped their first single off their new album.  And we are transcendent with joy...

The Chainsmokers - Don't Let Me Down ft. Daya

We don't know about you but we've got a pretty bad case of Mondayitis today so this is perfect - a little dreamy, a little make-you-dance-in-your-chair, all beautiful...

The Killers - When You Were Young

Unfortunately our Saturday afternoon is being spent doing chores.  Fortunately we have some Killer tunes to help us out...

Jonas Blue - Fast Car ft. Dakota

A perfect Friday night vibe.  Happy weekend people...

OFF COLLECTION - Amy Winehouse "Tears Dry On Their Own"

A bittersweet #tbt today - we listen to this amazing voice pretty much weekly and still think how much it's missed...

twenty one pilots: Heathens (from Suicide Squad: The Album) [OFFICIAL VI...

We're listening to this song a fair bit round here.  Ok, maybe a lot....

Richard Ashcroft - They Don't Own Me (Official Video)

We know, we know - it's been a while.  Sometimes life gets in the way.  But Richard Ashcroft is the perfect way to come back...

Hole - Doll Parts

Following on from yesterday's P!nk post, another woman who knows how to rock...



Continuin

Crystal ball - Pink

We've just realised we have no P!nk on here - how very remiss of us!  Hope you all have a willing accomplice to help you find your bliss on this lovely summer's evening...

My Chemical Romance - "Welcome to the Black Parade"

Yeah, we're not ashamed to admit it - we get a bit fangirl over My Chemical Romance.  What are we thinking will happen on 23rd September - announcement of re-issue of Black Parade or, gulp, a new tour?  Please, please, please, please, please....

Bear's Den - Auld Wives (Official Video)

With the new album this week, we can't think of a better choice for #newmusictuesday.  We've got a lot of love for this band.  We say that a lot on this page don't we?  But what's the point of having your own blog if you don't get to use it for things you love :) ....

Sunset Sons - Remember

We figure Sunday is as good a day as any to enjoy watching some long haired surfer dudes make some pretty cool music...

Oasis - All Around The World

A #tbt song in honour of Boris.  Crazy days indeed...

Augustines : This Is Your Life : All Saints Church Kingston 9 June 2016

We have a confession to make - we're more than a little fond of Augustines...

Modern Pleasure-Messina

We caught this band from Leeds at Hyde Park this weekend.  It took us a little while to find them because we could have sworn they introduced themselves as "Madame Pleasure" :)  But it was worth the dodgy search results as they are very much worth a listen...

James Bay - Craving

After a practically perfect weekend, we're easing ourselves into a new work week.  Happy Monday peeps....

Mumford and Sons There Will Be Time at BST Hyde Park 8th July 2016

After the Mumfords homecoming gig last night, there can only be one choice for today's post.  Here is the one and only Baaba Maal joining them on stage along with Beatenberg, The Very Best and Noah and The Whale's Tom Hobden.  "There is a time, a time to love, a time to sing, a time to shine..."  Words we could all do with right now we reckon...

Mark Ronson - Valerie ft. Amy Winehouse

Our #tbt song today is one that always makes us dance...

David Bowie - Changes (Live)

Ch..ch...ch...changes.  Life is all about changes.  Although we're still not used to a world without Bowie...

Glitter and Gold {Barns Courtney} Edit

We love this song.  And we have to confess, we're working at about the same pace today...

Paolo Nutini - Pencil Full Of Lead - Official video

Cuz it's Saturday and we're feeling this...

The Communards - Don't Leave Me This Way (Official Music Video)

Letting our roots show for #tbt today..

Fatboy Slim - Praise You - Glastonbury 2016 (Stage Cam)

The soundtrack to work this afternoon has been the one and only Fatboy Slim's epic Glasto set - he's playing the O2 in Dec, who's coming???

VANT - PARKING LOT (Official Video)

Our day job is needing a rather loud and upbeat soundtrack to push us through.  What to listen to, what to listen to - ah, yes.  Problem solved, fresh from Glasto we give you Vant...

Jack Savoretti - Take Me Home OFFICIAL VIDEO

After a fairly self-indulgent weekend, it's probably best to ease ourselves into the new week.  And with a voice like this, well you'll find us melted in a puddle at our desk...



Such

Foo Fighters Dave Grohl "Best of You" acoustic at Cannes Lions 2016

Cheering ourselves up after gorging on news yesterday - nobody tells a story quite like Dave Grohl.  But then again, no one does anything quite like Dave Grohl...

The Clash - Should I Stay or Should I Go

Today's throwback Thursday post is both topical and personal.  As the UK goes to the polls to decide over Brexit, we've decided to put up a song that has sentimental value as the first album one of us ever purchased.  What can we say?  We've always had taste...

Bastille - Good Grief

Look, I know we did new music yesterday BUT IT'S BASTILLE!!!

No video today for new music Tuesday, but check these guys out on Soundcloud, https://soundcloud.com/deadnativesband/the-love-i-have.  Loving this sound, love Liam Dutch's voice.  If you love it too, head on over to their Facebook page and show the boys some love, https://www.facebook.com/blacksailsclub/.

Busted - Year 3000

Song of the day today is one that is always a favourite family sing-along - it gets a lot of play in the car.  Who doesn't love a good old family sing along...

Format:B - Chunky (Official Video)

It's Saturday people, time to get your favourite jam on :) ...

Misty Miller - Happy

Ah, it's Monday.  We're feeling very single today.  So let's go with a little chick rock to brighten up the day...

Dobie Gray - Drift Away (Original Official Video)

We're feeling a little nostalgic this evening and found the most perfect song for that...

James Morrison - Precious Love - HD Video - Market Rasen - 01/09/12

Balmy summer Saturday nights were made for getting romantic...



Saturday

Stereophonics - Dakota (Official Video)

As the Isle of Wight fest kicks off with our favourite band, we're more than a little sad not to be there this year...

Gallery Circus - Holland On Fire

Thursday afternoon.  Trying to power through my inbox. This is definitely helping...

Blue - King of the World

Ok, ok - neither new nor anything really to do with guitars. But hey, we still like it and it's rather a perfect song for this kind of chilled Monday - work done, gym done, garden doors still open, birds singing.  So yes, this works...

Frank Turner - Mittens

Cooking to Frank Turner on a glorious summer day - bliss.  Doesn't he just nail it with the lyrics in this song about those relationships that are never quite right - "We used to fit like mittens but never like gloves"...

Panic! At The Disco: Don't Threaten Me With A Good Time [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

New music Tuesday - we've always been big fans of Panic! but any song that samples Rock Lobster defo gets our vote...

Little Big Town - Girl Crush

Stormy bank holiday Mondays are just made for a little heartache, especially when sung in a voice like this....

Alabama Shakes - Hold On (Official Video)

Bank holiday Sundays kinda seem made for these guys...

R3hab & Quintino - Freak (Extended Mix)

Friday night banger. Nice chill song to lay back to and chill with all of your mates. Happy bank holiday weekend to you all!

Depeche Mode - Personal Jesus (Live on Letterman)

What a perfect #tbt - a little live Depeche Mode.  I dare you to stay still while you listen to this!!

VYNCE - Taste

Liverpool - you always do give us some fabulous music...

Arrow Benjamin - Love And Hate

It's just all love from us Mr Benjamin...

Sia - Cheap Thrills (Lyric Video) ft. Sean Paul

I gotta be honest - here at GLGM2 we may be partial to guitar music and husky voices but we love just about any music that puts a smile on our face and makes us want to dance.  Plus, who doesn't like some cheap thrills... Happy Friday !!

Guillemots - Words

After almost 20 years of working in media, PR and now marketing, words are invaluable to me.  I chose my words with precision and often will spend a good five minutes trying out variables to ensure I have just the right word to convey what I'm attempting to say - in both my professional and personal lives.  Today, I have lost my voice for the second day running, unable to communicate with ease I feel so cut off from the world.  So this song as a #tbt choice is a no-brainer. 

A gorgeous song from a band I miss so much.  And with the divine lyric - "I think life would be so much easier if I was half-drunk or mad."

Little Triggers - 'Giving Me Up'

A hot new band from Liverpool with a lot of guitars - we like!!  Check out The Triggers on their Facebook page.

Radiohead - Daydreaming

Welcome back Radiohead...

The Coral - Holy Revelation

New music from The Coral?  That'll do Monday, that'll do.

Kings of Leon - Beautiful War, Milton Keynes Bowl, 22/06/2014

Milton Keynes was the third time I'd seen these guys play and they were tight as hell.  They played a video on the screens during this song set in a ghost town which took me straight back to the Nevada desert.  The sun had set, a light breeze was blowing and I was shortly afterwards to get an amazing picture of my daughter on someone's shoulders for the time.  Every time I hear this song, it takes me straight back to that night #happiness

Mumford and Sons - Only Love (Live)

I love this album.  I was a bit meh about Mumfords when they first came around - catchy but not really fascinating I thought.  But Wilder Mind turned out to be one of my favourite albums of last year and the whole album still continues to get a lot of play on my phone.  I'm looking forward to seeing them this summer. 



After a little hiatus on the blog last week when I was sunning myself in Kos for my birthday, this seems an appropriate song to start with.  See, I got a happy birthday text from someone I haven't heard from in a year, who this song always makes me think of.  Someone who made a bit of a fool out of me last year, someone I really hope comes of age one day because he's too good a guy to behave the way he did.  Music - a great reminder that somewhere someone is going through the same thing you are...

Kaleo - "Way Down We Go" (LIVE in a volcano)

A perfect song to ease into the weekend. Plus, all songs should be sung inside a volcano at least once!!

Lynyrd Skynyrd - Sweet Home Alabama **Official Video**

Today's #tbt is one of my top five all time fave golden oldies.  Which Matthew McConaughey seems to get in most of his film soundtracks so I'm guessing he's rather fond of it too :)

Panic! At The Disco: Emperor's New Clothes [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

Really - who doesn't love a little Panic! At the Disco??  Just too much fun...

Sam Hunt - Break Up In A Small Town

So over here at GLGM2, we've got a dirty little secret.  We're a little bit partial to some country - must be our American roots showing :). Enjoy y'all... 

Chasing Grace - Run

Today's choice has a bit to do with the fact that I love this song.  And a bit to do with the fact that this time next week I'll be on a beach in Greece because I get to run away myself.  But only for a week...

Creep - Prince at Coachella 2008

Our second video tonight celebrates Prince the performer.  Not many people can cover Radiohead and win.  With this Coachella performance, Prince won.  And took this haunting song somewhere completely new...

Chris Cornell "Nothing Compares 2 U" Prince Cover Live @ SiriusXM // Lit...

Sunday is a good day for reflection.  Still trying to come to terms with the loss of Prince, we'll have two covers I think to celebrate his life.  Here's one celebrating the songwriter...

Catfish and the Bottlemen - 7 (Live on 89.3 The Current)

New Catfish and the Bottlemen?  Don't mind if I do.  Happy Saturday.

PRINCE - The Most Beautiful Girl In The World

There is no arguing about Prince’s musical genius - his music is a big part of the soundtrack of my life and, for my money, over the last 20 years only Slash could come a distant second to matching his ability on the guitar.  But for me his icon status stretched past music.  MTV launched about the same time I took my first tottering, high-heeled steps into the tricky world of sexual politics.  Prince celebrated women, empowering and mentoring them.  When he had women on the stage with them, it was because of their talent, not because they were cookie-cutter long-legged, red-lipped, miniskirted models pretending to play their instruments.  From Sheila E to 3rdeyegirl via Wendy and Lisa and Apollonia6, Prince treated his fellow women musicians the same as the men he worked with – a true feminist before anyone really thought about applying the word to a man. In a time when women were celebrated for their ability to do the splits on the hood of a car Prince taught us that talent is sexy, smart is sexy. So here is my favourite video from this true cultural icon - celebrating women for being wives, mothers, sisters, lovers, friends, professionals.   Thank you Prince for the beautiful experience.

Then Jerico - Big Area

#tbt Then Jerico.  Ahhh, the memories this brings back - driving across the Nevada desert with the roof off my little Fiero and this tape blasting out.  Love me a road trip...

Seafret - Be There

Seafret have some gigs coming up throughout Europe and the UK...

The Strumbellas - Spirits

A little something to soothe my troubled soul, it's been a mighty long day...

Leif Erikson - Looking For Signs

Looking for a gig for next month?  You could do a lot worse than catching these guys at the Sebright Arms in Hackney on 3rd May. 

twenty one pilots: Stressed Out [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

Sunday vibes...

The Calling - Wherever You Will Go

#tbt my love for this song, and that voice, will never dim.

Nirvana - The Man Who Sold The World (MTV Unplugged)

It's been 22 years since Kurt Cobain's death. Translation - god, I'm old.  Even though I was in my 20's when Nirvana came on the scene, they started my life-long love of gravelly voices and guitars.  And, of course, Dave Grohl...

Walking On Cars - Speeding Cars

A perfect song for Sunday afternoon...

Hush Empire

https://soundcloud.com/hush-empire/room-on-fire

Catfish and the Bottlemen - Soundcheck

Catfish and the Bottlemen - pleased to say I introduced my kids to them years ago.  My love for these guys is deep...

Biffy's back

'nuff said...

Foo Fighters - Home

Easter Sunday.  Holidays are about family time.  The first time I heard this song it took me straight back to my childhood and my grandmother.  Almost 20 years after she passed away, I still miss her everyday.  Today. this one is for all the people you've loved...

Stereophonics - White Lies

There's no other way I can start this blog other than with my beloved Stereophonics.  After moving to London, I didn't go to a lot of gigs.  This was the first band I went to see after becoming a mum and it made me remember why I loved live music so much.  And as an added bonus, that gig, and many afterwards, cemented my friendship with one of my closest friends.  Music's like that...
