There's another hype in Capital City! I
only looked into Jake Bugg after seeing a poster, and the first song I listened to was Taste It, which is
definitely my favourite and currently on the iTunes 'Song of the
Week'.
Iv'e started downloading an album a
week from iTunes, as admittedly I used to download illegally, which
is easy as fuck, but also ruining the industry in which I want to
work in! Iv'e also found myself getting very frustrated recently with
ticket touters, as tours such as The xx, The Rolling Stones and
Mumford & Sons have been selling out in about 3.5 nano seconds, then
the tickets are instantly available on getmein.com for twice the
price! WTF?! It's just not fair on actual music lovers such as
ourselves.

Anyway, back to Jake, my album download this week was Jake Bugg's self-titled album, which is very much a good investment. I have actually
convinced myself when listening to him that he is Bob Dylan and Alex
Turners love child. His influences are Donovan, Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles and Bob Dylan, and you can hear a little bit of them all in on his album. He's only 18, which is quite unbelievable after
hearing his voice, and has been playing since the age of 12 and songwriting since 14! He's originally from Nottingham,
and sings quite a lot about to trying to get out of there! There is
quite a variety in the style of his songs, which is always a good
thing (ahem, Oasis), and are all pretty unbelievable. Check you Someone Told Me, Lighting Bolt, Troubled Town, Not To Self and Fire!
Unfortunately his November UK tour has sold out (but you can get tickets on getmein.com for twice the price and more!) However, there are tickets still available to see him next year!
