Who doesn't love Winston?
After watching the Olympics in London and having new additions, I've decided to add to my list of British men that make listening to music such an enjoyable experience. The ones on this list aren't all bands, but that's just a technicality.
Ed Sheeran
So he may be a little goofy-looking, but I love a lot of his stuff. Really love it. My favorite is Small Bump. If you click on only one link from this post, LET IT BE THIS ONE. (My favorite YouTube comment about this song is "Gingers don't have souls because God gave them all to Ed Sheeran." So true.) Other ones worth a detour are: The A Team, Wayfaring Stranger, and Lego House (don't be fooled by Rupert Grint in this music video).
Calvin Harris
He's a DJ primarily, but who cares. I first encountered Mr. Harris in Just Dance 1 with his Acceptable in the 80s. This song is about me. Well, anyone born in the 80s really, but I fit in that demographic, thus this song is about me. I don't appreciate his collaboration with Rihanna. I actually don't appreciate anything with Rihanna, but I digress. He has some other good ones like the recently popular Feel So Close, and I'm Not Alone. I didn't give you the links to his music videos for your own sanity. They are freakin' weird.
One Direction
You can judge me all you like. There's just something about these boys. Harry, Zayn, Niall, Liam, and Louis. I know they don't sing that well and they can't dance and most of them are still teenagers and that they are pretty much just pretty faces, but dang. They sure are good at being pretty faces. And their songs are so catchy. One Thing, What Makes You Beautiful, and Gotta Be You. You can't help but be a fan.
Keane
This one requires revisiting. Keane came to Salt Lake this summer and I got to see them. Amazing. Reasons why they are making another appearance requires a little list-ception.
1. Tom's voice is even more incredible live.
2. They sang every single song I recommended in the last post as well as some additions to the aforementioned greats: Silenced By The Night, Strangeland, and Disconnected.
3. There were really weird people there, but I didn't even care.
4. They said Salt Lake was the favorite concert they've ever done. Probably because Kameron and I were there. Definitely because of us.
And to leave you with a parting gift:
