Rasmus, Alphabeat: ilikemusic because... It makes me happy and it makes me dance around and sometimes it makes me a bit emotional. It encompasses all the emotions from happiness to sadness and it’s fun to play too.
Newton Faulkner: ilikemusic because... I’m absolutely rubbish at everything else.
Apostolos Melis: ilikemusic because... IT MAKES ME FEEL WONDERFUL
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.
Lee: ilikemusic because... It makes me want to rave my nut off
Penguin: ilikemusic because... Music is the one thing that really connects people. In the words of The King Blues: music can bring the world together :)
Sharleen Spiteri: ilikemusic because... it takes me to places that life can't
O'Bailey: ilikemusic because... I can live vicariously through a song, whether it's a screaming angry rock anthem or a silly kids song ("I'm a little yellow fish" anyone?) haha!
Patrick: ilikemusic because... Music came from the universe...always finding a way into societies from the beginning of time. I imagine it has always been out there waiting for us to show up. I'm so glad we made it! The Futureheads eponymous debut album has recently gone gold, selling in excess of 100,000 copies in the UK to date. 2005 has proved an exciting year so far for these likely lads from the North East, as they've slowly but steadily edged their way further and further towards the top of their rank. A more than successful stint on the NME Awards tour, a full-blown, sell out US tour and a re-release of their LP charting at number 11, were just a few of the highlights.
LP sales were helped along by spots on CD:UK and T4, massive radio support and gushing reviews for their most recent single 'Hounds Of Love' - the single subsequently slammed into the charts at number 8 leaving fans and critics alike wanting more. Thankfully, the follow up is not far behind…
'Decent Days And Nights' is The Futureheads at the peak of their powers; a choppy, Clash-y classic whose brazenly hooky guitars and chant-like vocals belie the clever stuff going on just below the surface. As with most Futureheads songs it's hard to get a true reading on what exactly they're banging on about, but the tight mesh of syllables, words and occasional animal yelps, sure is an enthralling place to get lost in. Especially, as in this instance, when the words themselves seem precisely to be about losing your bearings in this world.
