The Yanks

Charlie isn't the only one to be languishing in the lands of procrastination. Hanging out in the US these past few days with an American family playing Amercian drinking games hasn't been the most productive week so far, but it has showed me that the Yanks will listen to any music you show them, across the board. I was fortunate enough to meet one guy called Dooney who asked me about the music back in the UK. Thanks to good 'ole Spotify, he listened to about twenty songs back to back, and gave his full attention to everything, even if he didn’t like it. Several of his friends were the same and it just surprised me away how passionate they are about new sounds or unknown bands. All of the people I've met over here seem to be the same, jamming away to Friendly Fires, or Dizzee Rascal even though they have no idea what he's saying. Several of the people out here have even heard a little bit of Arcady Bliss too and it seems to be going down quite well. Their response to my cultural lesson was to show me a YouTube clip entitled "Bro Rape"...but never mind.


Please head down to the Songwriting competition tonight and support Charlie. Thanks again to everyone who came the other night to the Boileroom (or Boom) and supporting us.

Take it easy,

Ben x
