This Song Rocks: Timothy


Original video located here. Accessed 6th July 2024

Song title: Timothy

Artist: Jet

Year: 2003

Why I like this song:

An unusual choice as it would appear that history has not been kind to this band. What was once a big deal now has words attached like 'derivative' and 'annoying'. Thus it seems that, much like many times before, the rose-tinted glasses have been replaced with Geez-what-was-I-thinking-tinted glasses.

But I included this song in this series in that it came out in 2003 - the same year I did my last year of University. And this it has resonance as my 'End of Uni' theme. The four year journey had now ended and now the question arises: Where do we go from here?

This Song Rocks: Counter Revolution


Original video located here. Accessed 10th February 2013

Song title: Counter Revolution

Artist: Delta Riggs

Year: 2011

Why I like this song:

One gets the feeling that these guys are picking up the baton dropped by Jet. 

But who cares? This rocks hard and has a great chant-along chorus.
