Week One: Thrash Metal Picks!

(Photo credits: http://www.maniacsoul.deviantart.com)

Greetings, Darklings! I get asked a lot of music related questions thus I thought that it would be a relatively snazzy idea to spice things up a little and make an introductory list every once in a while primarily based around my top five selected bands from various sub-genres of Metal such as Black, Drone, Speed, Death, Doom, Symphonic, etc. I'll make this a series and cover other genres such as Classic Rock, Progressive Rock, New Wave, etc and individual artists since I'm excessively optimistic when it comes to the music side of the spectrum. I'm not going to lie, trying to narrow this list down to five bands was pretty brutal and it's not in any specific order but if you would like to see a more extensive list then don't hesitate to ask and I'll gladly fire it at you! 

My Favourite YouTubers!

Greetings, Darklings! Today, I woke up feeling inspired thus I've spent a large portion of the day attempting to put my thoughts into words. Is it just me whom finds this difficult? An idea will pop into my head and by the time I've written it down, it's evolved into a jumbled mess that doesn't seem as appealing as it did earlier. It's frustrating because I love writing, I love fancy literacy and I love sophisticated words that are more alluring than the definition itself. I'm starting to wonder whether it's because I've not been reading as much lately. 

Review: New Rock 591 Boots

Greetings, Darklings! Today I will be doing a review on the New Rock 591 boots which I bought near enough two years ago. A friend suggested the brand 'New Rock' to me when my very dearly beloved platforms had seen better days. At first, I was a little hesitant over whether I should repurchase another pair of Demonias but when I came across a specific style of New Rocks, I fell in love - quite literally. 

My Vinyl Collection: Part 2 of 2

Greetings, Darklings! This is part two of my collection. I'd probably have to class it as being my favourite section due to the fact that it features my favourite band: The Smiths. No words are significant enough to describe how I feel about them. I guess they could be considered as having the same effects as an illusion - one in which you ponder whether what you're feeling is real or merely a fragment of your imagination. The instrumentals and melancholic vocals incorporated together act as a ghost in the fog, almost - in the most perpetually beauteous way possible. 

My Vinyl Collection: Part 1 of 2

Greetings, Darklings! I've received a fair share of questions over the past week asking if I'll make a post about my vinyl collection so here it is. I wouldn't class what I have as a 'collection' as such due to the fact that it is an ongoing process but for length purposes, I'm going to split my records in half and add additional sections as the months pass and my wee stash expands. 

Introduction

      

Greetings, Darklings! Let me tell you a little about myself. My name is Marianne and I'm an eighteen year old, second year Media and Communications student studying in Glasgow. This means I study Journalism, Video Production, Public Relations, Music Industry Promotions, Web Design, Law and various other subjects that fall within the Creative Industries sector. I'm currently studying in Glasgow, Scotland but I'm from the three towns - known as the 'shire - which is nowhere near as exquisite as the Hobbit's wee place of residence... in the world of the mighty boosh.
