I Like It Acoustic!

When I find an acoustic version by my favourite singer/band, it is like Christmas to me. I think it is awesome when an album 'version' of songs is good but I got to say, I personaly much more appreciate when they 'show' their music in acoustic/acapella 'light', it is more raw and when the artist is good, talented, for listener it is even better experience. To make it clear, I just wanted to emhasize that I rather judge singer/band by the acoustic songs. I have to say it: I am so lucky I am a fan of singers/band who are in those versions (of both their own songs and covers) absolutely amazing... Among all- Passenger, Ed Sheeran, Bastille... (I haven't heard an acoustic version of Martin Chodúr which is the shame because I reckon it would be just perfect).

Language Of The Heart

One may wonder why a Czech girl writes her blog in English... It is quite simple- I just love English, I used to spend quite a lot of time studying English grammar and vocabulary just for fun, read books and magazines in English, watch TV series in English (I hardly ever watch it in Czech) but lately I did not have much time, I feel I am 'losing' my English skills and find myself doing mistakes more often (sorry for that :/-if you notice one, let me know ;)), so I thought writing the blog could be a way to get back on the track ( and I would enjoy it more).

When Ed And Mike Kick My Sense Of Responsibility In The Ass

I never had particular problem with making myself to go study, I just knew it is something I need to to do to achieve my dream and be successful at school, and sometimes I even enjoy it. Of course, from time to time I got really lazy but somehow I make myself to concentrate again). The last exam time was just challenging and difficult as it was. But about this time first Passenger released his album and shortly after him Ed Sheeran. That's not all- those two albums were absolutely wonderful (even better than I expected)- I had really hard times stop listening to that and start hitting the books. On the other hand, they helped me big-time, their music reduced the amount of stress to bearable amount, I passed (yay!) and now I can listen to these albums without being guilty (Now you get the name of the blog, don't you?).

When It Comes To My Favourite Artists I Am Out Of Superlatives

I am passionate about music I like. From my point of view I can divide music into a few categories: Love, Like, Uhm-it's ok, Do Not Like, Hate=Do Not Listen To.

Love Category List (not in this order- It would be like my nightmare if I had to say who is the best of my best :D)

  • Passenger
  • Bastille
  • Ed Sheeran
  • Stu Larsen (Oh my, how come I haven't checked him out sooner?!)
  • The Once (wonderful) 
  • Martin Chodúr
(s**t, hope this 'list' won't grow 'cause otherwise my life would have had to consist of sitting home and listening to music, looking for tix and wating for new albums )

 Those mentioned above I can listen to them over and over and, actually, I get excited just hearing/reading their names, I dig for interviews of theirs on the Internet and care about them. I am really PROUD of them and happy I can be their fan (I 'need' their CDs, I bother my FB friends by sharing zillion of things about them, keep an eye on their live dates).
Oh oh, it's a passion,
Oh oh, you can feel it yeah,
Oh oh, it's a passion,
Oh oh, oh, oh, oh
Lyrics from Of The Night (cover by Bastille)
