Scott, Thin Lizzy: ilikemusic because... It lets my adrenalin start pumping, it gets aggression out, and sometimes I can actually get emotional with it. There are many reasons why I like music.
shantel: ilikemusic because... it is a passion and a hobbie to when i sing and dance i do it from my soul
Master Gee: ilikemusic because... It gives me an opportunity to truly express myself, unlike what happens in an everyday living situation where there are restrictions on you and limitations on you and demands on you and bills to pay, through music I can truly be comfortable with who I am, and do what I really want to do and say what I really want to say.
RejinaReclusive: ilikemusic because... it helps me remember. It helps me forget. It helps me be strong and it makes me cry. Music screams the words I can't say, the feelings I can't express. It makes my heart feel alive.
Martin Rowe-Miller: ilikemusic because... it enabled me to win the Motorokrstar UK competition and record with Wyclef and Fergie.
Ellen, Los Campesinos: ilikemusic because... It’s the best form of escapism that you can have wherever you are. You could be completely miserable or waiting for a bus and put on any song that inspires you and you can escape into a little world, well that’s what I tend to do anyway.
Rob Cremona: ilikemusic because... Cool laid back soul, atmospheric instrumentals and the occasional gospel choirs to lift my soul.
Chuck, Simple Plan: ilikemusic because... It was always a way to escape whatever problems I was going through; whatever trouble I had, I could just put on a record or a song and feel better right away and I hope that our music can have the same effect on our fans.
Lupe Fiasco: ilikemusic because... It gives me a chance to escape and reach people I wouldn’t ordinarily be able to reach. And without music the world would be kinda quiet.
The Christmas single is one of pop's most maligned battlefields. A trail of schmaltzy, desperate or plain irritating nursery rhymes signposts the form.
Into this breach step Goldblade whose City Of Christmas Ghosts is a new festive classic - a melancholic yet euphoric take on the Christmas song. While they were at it we also decided to get the wonderful Poly Styrene on the track to duet the vocals with Goldblade frontman brother John Robb, it's the first time she has sung on a punk rock song since her days in X Ray Spex and the result is quite magical. Poly and John are very good friends with Goldblade supporting X Ray Spex at the recent triumphant sold out Roundhouse gig.
Poly and John star in a duet between a couple walking through the empty deserted streets on Christmas day reminiscing about lost friends in the melancholic mid winter night, looking for the true spirit of Christmas distracted by the seasonal neons before finding something erotic in the antiseptic festivities.
The single is a re-recording of a track off the recent Goldblade Mutiny album and has been re-titled City Of Christmas Ghosts. It's a Christmas song that's got a melancholic and dark heart, a duet raising a toast to lost friends and celebrating the true spirit of Christmas in a tale of lost love and nostalgia for lost love and friends. The outro of the song is quite special with Poly''s Hare Krishna chants mixing in with the anthemic chorus giving the song a euphoric spiritual edge.
The song is huge, warm, affecting and celebratory with the production turning it into a Spector punk anthem, advance orders already point to at least a top 40 hit making the song the one to rally round for the festive season.
