Rob Miller: ilikemusic because... I liked your site.
Carvadeya: ilikemusic because... It makes it easier for me to get away with doing things like wearing make-up and nail varnish!
Alison Moyet: ilikemusic because... No one gets to choose mine for me.
Darren: ilikemusic because... It makes me dance like a motherf**ker
Anastasia: ilikemusic because... It makes your feelings tangible - makes them into sounds and words - and makes you realise that you are not alone. It's the collective mind of the human race.Cesar Sangwa: ilikemusic because... it's there for me through thick and thin, highs and lows. I think about it when I wake up, and when I close my eyes to sleep. I like music because I'm in love with it!
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.Penguin: ilikemusic because...

Review by Chris Waugh
The Rakes kicked off the opening night of the NME Freshers Tour with a fantastic 45 minute set that consisted entirely of songs from their debut album 'Capture/Release'.
The evening boasted a strong supporting cast with Five O'Clock Heroes kicking off proceedings with a string of no-nonsense power-pop tunes; catchy to the point that it pricked the ears of those still lingering at the bar.
FOCH might have displayed a few first night nerves during their most high-profile gigs to date, but this is a band only two singles into a potentially promising career and still finding their way.
And so from power-pop to power-pomp...
Louis XIV cannot under any circumstances be described as a band grappling with their own self-doubt.
In principle there's much to dislike about Louis XIV; but like a glammed-up Jet with eyeliner and haircuts they've actually paid for, they couldn't fail to crank up the atmosphere a notch with a good time set of stomping glam rock silliness. Chucking water over scantily clad girls in the front row didn't fail to endear them to this (male) ilikemusic.com writer either.
