Album of the Month- Four Year Strong- Enemy of the World



Thought I should introduce a bit of music to my blog. My album of the month for March is the latest album of pop punk band Four Year Strong. "Enemy of the World" carries on where their last studio album "Rise or Die Trying" left off producing catchy punk music with riffs galore. There isn't a great difference in the overall sound on this one but there are signs of a greater maturity and confidence in their slightly refined sound especially on lead single 'It must really suck to be Four Year Strong right now' and 'Nineteen with neck tatz.' (Yes, I realise they sound like ridiculous songs but don't judge a book by its cover and all that.) There isn't a bad track on the entire album and its bound to be stuck in your head for a long time.
Love it, loathe it just give it a listen.

Mourinho, what a character!

I'm very happy at Inter. I'm not happy in Italian football. Why? Because I don't like it and they don't like me. Simple." (Jose Mourinho)

Can't say that I've ever liked Jose Mourinho but there's no doubting his talent as a manager and you have to admit there's never a dull moment when he's around. I'd be very surprised if he doesn't turn up at a Premier League club this summer.
One thing I do like about him is that he's never afraid to speak his mind is he! Its not as though he's doing badly at Internazionale this season either with them top of the Italian Serie A table, in the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia as well as through to the last 8 of the Champions League. It just seems as though he doesn't get the love from the press in Italy as he did back in the U.K. Either that or he misses the weather?
I'd be a fool if I said I didn't want to see him as the next Liverpool manager but it seems very unlikely in the current climate. This is football though, who knows

To Begin With...

"Reading is sometimes an ingenious device for avoiding thought."
(Sir Arthur Helps)

On this note welcome to my blog. I thought it was time that I found a new way to spend my time avoiding doing work. The month long Easter break is certainly a long time to do so.
I find the hours fly by at the moment. My rediscovered interest in online poker is certianly helping if doing nothing positive for my mood most of the time!
Finally got around to re-watching the second series of Chuck this week. Easily one of the best shows in TV, if you don't watch it you should. Very talented cast, brilliant writing from Josh Schwartz (creator of The O.C) plus Yvonne Strahovski is hot!
Don't believe me?
Watch this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qD6Tj5OOF9o&NR=1
The show is packed with great music as well. Can you tell I like it by now?
Anyway check it out and I'll be back soon.
