Patrick Stump Hits Home Hard!

Fall Out Boy's front man Patrick Stump has been promising us a solo album since soon after the band split up and now it looks like things are closing in for the explosion of musical talent. I've been a Stump fan for years, I love his vocals and his composition work is the best in it's field in my opinion, so when I got a chance to hear a full studio recording, or in-fact two full studio recordings, I was jumping up and down like a mad man!

Patrick said on his website: "I recorded 2 separate versions of Spotlight and after months I still can't decide which one should go on the record." The two versions of the track are available for free download in the hopes that you will then return back to www.PatrickStump.com to vote for the version which you prefer. He also offers the option of streaming for free via his YouTube account.


This is the first version: Spotlight (New Regrets)

George's Coldplay - Christmas Lights Review

You know how there are some songs that just stick with you? They embed themselves in your memory and flash back up in decades to come when you hear them through the radio. All of a sudden you are transported back to the Christmas of 1999, your family sat around the fire place all snug against the grasping cold beyond the window.

Coldplay's new track for the holidays feels like a sniff of the Christmas decorations on the 1st of December, which is actually when it came out. There is something awfully familiar and comforting about it yet at the same time it remains original, and it remains Coldplay.

Coldplay's Christmas Lights

Do I like the song? I love it! I feel like not loving it would be on key with not loving Christmas itself. I have to say I have been sat on the edge of my seat waiting eagerly for over a year now for something to come from Coldplay and this gave me the fix I craved so desperately.
