First post... How exciting...

So, I guess i'm now a blogger! This is exciting news.

My plan is to use this wonderful space to force my opinions of gigs that i've been to recently on anyone who has time to read them. It will most probably end up being about almost anything and probably everything, as for a few more months i'm stuck at home revising for my A2 exams, and then off to uni. So, for now, i will just have to talk about gigs that i've been to previously. But first.

About myself... 

I'm the one on the left :) 

Madeline Smart, 18 years old, 6th form, A2s... studying... Physics, Maths and Design Technology. I guess that is probably all you need to know about me at the moment. I'm planning on going to the University of Sheffield next year to study Civil Engineering. 'Not really got much to do with music?' you might ask yourself, so why write a blog about music? you may be thinking. Music may not be my life ambition, and i may not be able to play any instrument to a high standard, but 'gigging' (as i like to call it) is one of my favorite things to do. So i thought i would share that with a bunch of delightful strangers. 

I have done a list (i think it should be at the bottom of the page...) of the top 25 listened to songs on my ipod at the moment and i have got to say i'm quite ashamed of myself for it. You Me At Six and Adele take up a good 22 out of the 25 songs. This, to me, is just not good enough. I take pride in the amount of variation of music i listen to so to find that you me at six was dominating that list has rendered my heart broken. To fix this i have decided to set myself an ipod shuffle challenge. I will be listening to the 4754 songs on shuffle, without the ability to change the song or pick another. So far i have got up to song 446, and this has taken me just under a week. Some of the song combinations that have come up are amazing. And some of the songs that id forgotten that i had have been brought to the front of the 'i love this song' list that is currently in my head. So far this challenge has brought nothing but good outcomes, but i wonder if my will power will be able to overcome the future urge just to pick a song that has been going over and over in my head ... that time will soon come, and i fear the consequences. I'll be sure to keep you updated on that one.

Thanks for reading, i hope i didn't bore you too much :) xx
