Hey everyone ! I'm back... did anyone miss me? I have not been here for ages and thought I would just copy and paste my recent enty of my online blog about some new music... anyone agree or disagree?

1. Pink- So What
Pink's first single from her forthcoming album, 'Funhouse', is literally a V-shaped sign to her ex-husband, Carey Hart. 'I guess I just lost my husband,' is how the feisty, adolescent, confident Pink starts her rock anthem for divorced women. With all the attitude which only Pink could get away with, this songs goes over the top and across the line and yet we forgive it, it's Pink. It's extremely catchy and it should be as it's produced by Max Martin who previously collaborated with Pink on hits such as 'U + Ur Hand' and 'Who Knew'. It's more than a break up song, it will get everyone singing as most people can relate to the lyrics. With lines like, 'I'm fine and you're a tool,' the some what juvenile lyrics are some of the best because during a break up, who cares how you act, this is real life. The video falls in the same category as their is cameos from her ex as well as hair setting a light and jibes to Jessica Simpson.

2. Anastacia- I Can Feel You
After a three year break, Anastacia returns with her single, 'I Can Feel You.' Produced by Ne-Yo, the song starts with a futuristic groove piano beat which will get anyone wishing they were at a disco. Then she comes in, the little lady with the big voice. After a first listen you may not be convinced but after the second or third time you realise the potential of this single. Reminiscent of 'I'm Outta Love' and 'Not That Kind', this song has gone back to basics.

3. Rooney- Get Away
I found their recent album in my local bargain bin, probably not the best advertisement for a relatively unknown band but had I known how good it would sound before hand, I would defiantly have bought it before now. 'Get Away' is one of the UK bonus tracks and my favourite on the album. Known for providing music on 'The OC' this altern rock band has easy synths, captivating lyrics and bouncy rhythms. 'Get Away' ticks that criteria and during the chorus you realise this song is brilliant to have on at a party and effortless to dance to as the music takes hold of you. The guitar solo shows their talent and that Rooney may be here for longer than others thought.

4. The Rasmus- Livin' In A World Without You
Hailing from Sweden, The Rasmus were relatively unknown in the UK, US and Australia but managed to achieve success throughout other parts of Europe including Germany and Scandanavia. That all changed in 2003 when they released 'Dead Letters' which signified their breakthrough. 'In The Shadows' reached number three in the UK and number one is the US. Five years later they are due to release their new album, 'Black Roses', and the lead single, 'Livin' In A World...'. Their music has been bought right up to date yet sounding like they did all those years ago. Their alternative rock beats have allowed them to expand into an all round band, showing that it's not just heavy metal that they can capture.

5. Daniel Powter- Next Plane Home
Here we hail the return of Daniel Powter and his sophmore release, 'Under The Radar.' 'Next Plane Home' is the lead single and unfortunatly is no 'Bad Day' (the most played song in the last five years). Although after listening to the piano driven ballad I am inclined to give this song more of a chance than other reviews have. I will hold my judgement of his new material until I hear more, I am just hoping for more danceable hits.
In the meanwhile, what do you think?

Speak to everyone soon

XOXO

OMG!!! I have just realised how much I love time differences... I mean, for example, the majority of people on here from the USA... some from other countries... but very few from UK... and so when I log in and do my XYZ... there does not tend to be that many people online but then I either go to school or I go to sleep and after the big gap I find messages on the blog and forum... new blog posts and other quizs that I can comment on, so OMG, I love the time difference... also that is fun on holiday and you have to adapt to another countries time... just part of the fun I don't tend to get that jet lagged

Anyway...was randoming on the interent over the past few days and found loads of music that we don't get in the UK but artists, I never heard of... well it was time to get over to iTunes and wow, there r some good musicians I did not know about. I love AM, Duncan Sheik, Matt Nathenson and loads of others... wish they were more widly known here because of that they don't release CD's here... but thank goodness for iTunes

School has been MENTAL of recent ... Can't remember much of it to be honest, OH! I do know that the house magazine that I have much widly publicised and anticipated the release will be given to everyone in my school house on Wednesday, my teacher got them printed and they are being delivered tomorrow WOOP!!!! Will leave some feedback about it after it's release...

Blogging is great...Just thought I would mention, there is so much to say and this is a great way to say it... and I lurve speaking to other ppl that I would not speak to otherwise I have been looking around and I can't believe how many posts some people put (you know who you are) but to be honest it's gr8! I love it when people write, I am trying to get a new initative at my school to get people to start to write, anything... but we all need it in life... so that's pretty kkl...

Funny times on Friday eve@ school... was sitting in an R.S lesson and I was so tired and bit in a mood- loads of essays to do... got out the laptop and was watching what the teacher as doing on my screen- asked a question and then stopped the teacher- said I was not listening and was too tired to tae anythin in He was like ok... I said I would read @ home... pretty kl teachers @ my school to be honest, another gave the class an extension for an essay today... HEHE

Think I will some a pictures in

This is all my year at the house X-Mas dinner 2007 (Lurve dem all!!!)

The Brit Awards 2008 in association with MasterCard

The lights were dimmed, the phone was off the hook and the surround sound was on, what was this in aid of?

The Brit's, of course and what a way to start the night, the most prestigious night in British music sees the crème de la crème of the music scene awarded for their efforts in the past year, and what a year it had been. There were so many new bands to choose from, with reunions and with collaborations. 2007 saw a new record broke in the form of Umbrella by Rihanna but has she managed to break into the hearts of the UK?

The night started with Mika exploding onto the stage. Now whatever anyone's opinion and I am one to speak out about this man, his rendition of Love Today was a brilliant way to start and only bettered with the addition of Beth Ditto for a duet of Standing in the Way of Control. Their contrasting voices with Mika surprisingly taking the higher vocals and Beth, the lower.
Then it was time to start the presentation, people were somewhat blown away by the selection of presenters for this years show after the controversy of last year's, Russell Brand debacle. But I was looking forward to seeing the Osborne's on stage and what a job they did. No one knew what they had planned, was Ozzy going to come on with a bat's head? Was Sharon going to swear way before the 9o'clock watershed? Not only did their children, Kelly and Jack, join the couple but also they were surprisingly behaved. The question on my lips though, was Sharon drunk? I have never seen her smile so much and she bounced along the stage, it was a surprise the rest of her family kept up with her.

The awards started and with the orders shook up, they started with the Best Live Act, previously won over the past two years by Muse, the award this year went to Take That, who also went away with Best British Single for the Mark Owen lead, 'Shine'. On their first time up on stage it almost seemed as if Jason Orange had stage shock, as he stood there shaking, speaking for the longest time and thanking people who had already been thanked. But it's Take That and they proved that they are still one of the best in British music.

The event was only made better by proving the great diversity there is between the different genres of music and yet they all took away awards. With pop making a return in the form of Take That, indie showing they are still on top with two awards (Best British Group & Best British Album) going to the Arctic Monkey's and rock showing there is still a place in our hearts as the Foo Fighters won both Best International Group and Best International Album.
But what is the Brit's without the performances? Well tonight was nothing short of brilliant from thrilling performances of Ruby by The Kaiser Chiefs where the stage emulated their music video with specially build towers rising out of the stage throughout the song until they were covered. Kylie Minogue continued her massive comeback with her rendition of her new song, Wow, which although may not be her strongest song, is guaranteed to stay in your head from hours afterwards. Did anyone notice how much she looked like Debbie Harry in her Blondie days during the performance?

The two biggest performances of the evening had to go to Rihanna and the Klaxons singing Umbrella/Golden Skans, which may not sound like the right combination but put together, they really pulled it off. The stage for the performance was amazing, holding all the high quality that Rihanna tries to show in her music mixed with the rave atmosphere of the Klaxons, the flashing greens and blacks into the audience, the strobe lighting and the wonderful pillar which Rihanna started on until it lowered to stage level showed that the thought and design that goes into the awards really can make all the difference. The other big performance of the evening was the Mark Ronson medley, after winning the Best British Male (the first non-singing winner) and saying that he has never felt so male and never felt so British he blew the audience away with a collection of his biggest hits. First Adele joined him (she won the Critics' Choice Award, the very first time this award has been seen) to sing God Put A Smile followed by Daniel Merriweather to sing his hit, Stop Me and ended with Amy Winehouse and their hit of last year, Valerie. She was let out of rehab to come to the event and she looks brilliant, she has gained some weight, has better colour skin and stood up strong and looked as if she was starting to overcome her troubles.

Other winners of the night were Kate Nash for Best British Female, Mika won Best Breakthrough, International Male was Kanye West and Kylie Minogue collected International Female. A performance from Amy Winehouse singing, Love is a Losing Game and Leona Lewis with Bleeding Love were just some of the other pieces in this amazing night. Leona Lewis stood out, only two years ago, she was a normal girl and then she won The X Factor and two years later, she had the biggest selling album of 2007, selling two million copies in just six weeks. In her purple gown surrounded by about a dozen dancers, she amazed the audience with Bleeding Love and once again showed early signs of a singer like Whitney Houston.

The awards were presented by an array of people from Sir Ian McKellen to Chris Moyles to Alan Carr (who was drunk!) and each bought something special to the show. Outstanding Contribution to Music, the last award of the night, was presented to Sir Paul McCartney for all his work from The Beatles to The Wings to his solo career and all the amazing things he has done for the music industry.

The evening finished with a medley of hits from McCartney, he started with the recent feel-good single; Dance Tonight followed by Live and Let Die (with amazing pyrotechnics) and to end the two-hour event, he sung The Beatles hit, Hey Jude!

Overall, an impressive night that could only have been made better if the artists I wanted to win had. But with only 12 more months to go until The Brit Awards 2009, it's only a matter of exposing new talent and some really great music planned for the rest of this year.

Here is another entry from my internet blog... thought I could post on here, to keep ppl interested

Two days into my half term and I am ever so slightly happier because I have more time to think. Put things into perspective and come to a closer understanding of why people do things, of course this is all very deep and meaningful and when I realised that infact I had come to forgone conclusion that I would not be able to work it out, on came on the music. First of all, I had TMF on playing the UK Top 20, my feet were tapping and my hands were swinging... Then this evening a miraculous thing happened... wells it's not that impressive, standing there (don't have a computer chair), speaking to a selection of people (or just those who will speak to me) and plugged into my iPod. On came AM and then Operator Please and then Lightspeed Champion and my hands swung, my feet tapped and my entire body just relaxed. Almost like some eternal acupuncture, my tense muscles came to a recluse and I moved to the beat.
Dancing when no one is watching, just like when you are watching a T.V show and the character is always singing in the shower- how often does that actually happen when in fact, just being able to do something like movement without judgment was wonderful. I had complete control and for those few minutes during the songs, I was on a cloud, almost watching all those others on this little planet.

Next, I saw Cloverfield today!! OMG, I am not going to ruin it, it's amazing, go and see it, just need to get over the general wow factor
Walked almost 7-10 miles today (don't ask me what that is in another scale, I don't even know what that is!), but I do know it was far. Could not be bothered to go by the bus and was like, hey why don't I walk from the cinema in Central London, back to the bus stop where I am being collected. It was brilliant, got to talk (not by myself), scream, prance and act really silly, what a great release. I got to see places that I know of everyday in much more detail that usual.

Still waiting for the final articles for the magazine, of course once that has happened, then it will be completed *token Dr. F laugh!*
More from the adventures of the common man soon (of course can you explain what is common? I can't!)

It's Wednesday, I'm sitting here writing this post and watching My Family on DVD, has anyone noticed how much Zoe Wanamaker smiles in this?
Anyway, I have the common cold or 'acute viral nasopharyngitis' as I like to call it. I have not slept properly in the last two nights because when you lay back, your nose blocks up and so you spend about 20 minutes trying to get into the right position with the large number of pillows, the height of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Did not go to school yesterday, so I caught up on my lying down, my moping around, to be completely honest, I can't bare not going to school, I hate catching up on work.
Before I continue, I am going to give you my playlist for the week.

1. Van Tramp - Help Me Make It
2. Elvis Ain't Dead- Scouting for Girls
3. Ride A White Horse- Goldfrapp
4. Ready for the Floor- Hot Chip
5. Highness- Envy & Other Sins
6. Middle of the Night- Sherwood
7. Broken- Lifehouse
8. Moving to New York- The Wombats
9. If I Had Eyes- Jack Johnson
10. Leave It Alone- Operator Please

Over the past few weeks, an idea has been forming, that idea... The McGillian. To make things clear, the house I am a part in at school is called McGills and because of my partiality to a bit of writing, I thought, 'hey!' why not start up the house magazine again?
Well to cut a short story, shorter, three weeks later, several conversations and hours of computer publishing, the magazine has been created *Dr.Frankenstein's laughter, it's alive!*All I need now are the articles, the modern and intellectual magazine about the house, for the house includes all the latest news about the pupils, what they have taken part in and what we have done to make the school a better place. Of course that is not it, in the 12 pages, we also have reviews, discussions and interviews. There are plenty of pictures and hopefully will be well received, so far, the few friends who have seen the design have liked it.
Brain storm the other, was had, says Yoda. I thought, why just a magazine? Why not bring the tradition into the 21st century? 100% of the aimed readers have computers with internet connection, so why not open a website as well? http://themcgillian.blogspot.com was then created, this will have all the articles from the current issue but because of the half termly release date, the site will be updated with all the latest news as it comes in... My head is full of ideas... OOO...
In other news, let's look at more reasons why this blog is not just another nobodies blog, why read the commons's student's blog? As well as the mind boggling discussion? The reviews, the works by myself and of course practice for my massive career LOL///
The beauty of the nature of the day, was the topic of choice and today was filled with very little but in the magnificent void that was today, I planned many journey.
The life list ATM!:
1. Get AAAB at AS
2. Get AAA at A2
3 Get into a gr8 university (There are some in mind )
4. Do brilliantly there and decide on the career of my choice, I want to be one of those gifted people who gets the choice...
5. Get jobs///Find love///Move country///Be happy...
Of course the very last point will take a very long time and as Peter Vardy (philosopher...) said last Friday at a special lecture for RS students, people always want to be happy. He was not being cynical, he was being (what's the word- it's when he is not talking rubbish and although you may not like the truth, it is the truth!) Anyway, he said that people always want to be happy but they won't be because something is always bound to go wrong, well if that is the case Mr.Vardy then don't let my succeeding get in the way of your opinions.
Between each of my life list points of course are things for the here and now- like I hope the first issue of The McGillian is liked and that maybe at some point in an English lesson we will be able to finish 'Heart of Darkness' and that we will finish 'The Second Coming' in R.S!
Tell you something funny...(who is he talking to?) Today in Media, the best subject I (Heart) Media! Um... well yesterday on my sick day, my c lasswatched Britz for the exam and so I watched it at home but saw further than my c lasssaw, well let's say I used the wrong word and changed the meaning... I said to my teacher, I surpassed you, when I meant to say passed you... he found the joke in this, HEHE!
We were learning about Type A today in Psychology- if you are Type A then you have a set of characteristics that includes being impatient, excessively time-conscious, insecure about one's status, highly competitive, hostile and aggressive, and incapable of relaxation. The Type B personality, in contrast, is patient, relaxed, and easy-going. There is also a Type AB or Type X mixed profile for people who cannot be clearly categorized and have a combination of both types of personality. In case you are interested, I am a mix of the two, Type X!
Hope you liked

XOXO

Will leave a proper blog entry soon... can always visit my personal blog at http://olliewo.blogspot.com...

XOXO

A poem I wrote a while ago, but I dedicate it to the loss of a great actor-

A star in the sky,

An angel up above,

Please, please, look over me,

My one undying love,

Some may call it pretty,

Some may stop and stare,

But I know who you are,

You live everywhere,

In the heart of hearts,

And in the ace of clubs,

The angel from above still lives.

Been a cool time since I last left a blog for yalll to read. Finished the work experience last on Friday, which I must say got really enjoyable by the end of the week and kinda upset that it's now finished and wanted to go back there today instead of school :p

Got to write some interesting stuff and did loads of research for the reporters meaning, I got to learn interesting stuff about the newspaper and journalism as well as random subject topics. One of the guys from there read some of the stuff I had written last year, reviews and such of T.V etc... and he said they were really good, had good ideas, just needed to learn things like style for a journalist, which he did not expect me to know at my age and waits till I learn more over the years, got some stuff printed in the paper, last week, which as well was quite smexy (trying to get that word started LOL)

Had a good weekend, was on here for a long time, doing stories of GG and I want to thank degrassi_lover for starting that thread ad giving me something to do last weekend, BTW, we are now on season 2 and the rest of season 1 was gr8, really nice to see people get involved and write stuff and see what people's ideas for the characters are. We have had some twists and turns and there has been plenty of drama recently on that thread LOL

Went back to school today and was given my marks from all my AS Level Mocks that I had done 2 weeks ago, I was pretty scared to be honest but ended up getting an A in media studies (1st in yr), A in english (1st in yr), A in religious studies (2nd in yr) and D in psyc (1st in yr)... bad time for Psyc, did the best in the year and yet that was still terrible, most other people got U's which is the worst you can ever get, below like 30%!!!! In all seriousness, I was not expecting those grades because so little work was put in, defo going to do more work to withhold the standards :p

We had a new Eng and R.S teacher today, the Eng one was American! He is here for a year, just come out of uni and is teaching in England for a year, seems like a cool guy, we are doing Heart of Darkness by Conrad with him, must say it seems like it's going to be an interesting book.

The R.S teacher is gr8! He is really kooky and into things like time travel etc... HAHA... he loves Dr.Who and thinks all that sort of stuff, tries to prove things and he has the funniest laugh ever! The cool things is that I sit next to a guy called Olly (that's how he spells his name) and mine name is Ollie (my spelling) and we have this double act thing, where we both answer etc... pretty funny...

Awww... got loads of recordings to watch, my HDD has no room left and I still have about 4 thins needing to record each day, HAHA LOL... what am I to do, so much TV, so little time... OOO new episode of Damages tonight!!!

Anyway, that's it for now, sure I will be back before the week is out otherwise, you can probably find me on the GG forum or just leave me a message LOL>>>

XOXO

Anyway... hey, I'm back. Right, to be honest the meeting was pretty interesting, I mean, I don't like football but to just be there in the atmosphere (and I have been told it does not happen a lot to go to something like this) was really cool. I wrote lots of notes about cameras and sounds and interviews, so all in all, good time spent there... got me out of the office and into the fresh air and doing something interesting, and I had a good chat with one of the journalists who has given me some pointers and is going to look at some of work at the end of the week. CHECKPOINT: I need to get people's information because it's contacts I need to do well in the industry!

Ok... so here it is :p I am kinda mega excited cause I may or may not be going to the Big Apple some time this year!!! I went once, like when I was five and that was ages ago and I was ill and that is annoying as you can assume... and to be honest, I can't remember most of it. So if me and my mum go, that would be so so so cool, but it depends on so many things...

I love my i-Pod, it's one of the things I could not live without but sometimes it really annoys me... it freezes when I put it into the dock quite a few times and I have to reset it :-( AGES!!! LOL But then again, I love it and it's even better cause I bought a universal dock from John Lewis (one of the department stores!) in the new year sales, I think it was £15 instead of nearly £30 and I can now use the i-Pod with my remote from my mac!!! YAY

It's been nearly a week since the amazing GG finished for this season (I hope not!) and I am missing it, but it kinda makes up speaking to ppl and on here :p Keeping myself busy and watching loads of other things, new season of CSI & CSI:NY started here, so that is cool and the new season of Torchwood starts this week! OOO... and I am listening to Fountains of Wayne- love dem!

Anyway, that's it for now, a special two part blog special,

You Know You Love Me, XOXO

Here we go again, decided to write another blog, because I am sitting here... well the truth is, I typed up one last night and did not save it!!!!!

Well anyway, got over that little kink in life and now, here we are sitting, me writing my blog and you reading my blog. Let me start of with Sunday, I watched the first episode of Damages (Glenn Close) and I loved it! Thought it was clever and suspensful for the whole 45 minutes, the twists and turns from just the pilot are definatly going to keep me hooked for the next 13 weeks! Thought she was amazing in the show and her Golden Globe from earlier in the week was just what she deserved. Well done Glenn...

Onto the next thing, yesterday I started Work Experience that my school set up for me, not sure what the term is around the world, because I am spreading the joy internationally now :p anyway, literally, for a whole week we have to work at acompany, usually doing similar work to what I would like to do in the future... I am working at a local newspaper, and believe me, when there is no news, there is no job! Came in yesterday morning and had no idea what to expect, they made me sit there in the waiting area for 45 mins!!! That is, after I almost got there late! Anyway, someone collected me and showed me the rope... these are the writers (people on computers), there are the designers (people on computers) and over there... that's the editor, and the other people who are high in the food chain (people on computers!). So they sat me downin front of a computer and told me to read the newspaper... and then the newspapers sites... they left me for about 4hrs!!! I know all of yesterday's news for the local area and I don't even live here! It was not until a few hours before I went home in the eve, that there was something to do... FUN... press releases... :p

Today, was given stuff to do, press releases, research, summeries things... :p Going to a press meeting later over some local footballer stuff... they were going to deport him or something and I don't even like football- okay, I am making it sound worse than it is, I am actually having a good time and it's really good for me- it's all a learning curve! You may wonder, how do I have so long to do this? There is nothing to do... all pressed out! :p

Got to go now, about to go to this meeting!!!

You know you love me

XOXO

I got this from Bannannie! Thanks :p
