Hello, Welcome


Well hello and welcome and thanks for joining me on my new venture, a thirty year old blogging about new music, past hits, music lists and leaving all the movies, theatre and the rest of it for dust, yes this blog is 100% music.

If you like my Randy Andy BLOG y'all gonna love this, I will be bringing it weekly with:

# The regular 20 Sunday Chart (plus commentary and today I will have a look at last night's tunes)
# Super Producers (From the Randy Andy BLOG, we have already looked at Calvin Harris and Flume, who will be next?)
# Flashing off the Records Album of the Year. Last year I saw it fit that Frank Oceans stunning solo debut took it out over at Randy Andy and I also found it impossible not to recognize Flume for his outstanding debut. So this year (2013) what album(s) will deserve a heap of love from me?
# My new releases reviews - from time to time
# General commentary on the music world.

So let's rewind to Easter Sunday and get an eye full of some of this weeks most popular tunes:

Rudimental have struck gold, their debut "Home" will be released next month (TBA - The album has been pushed back a number of times) and with three big singles and one killer tune with Angel Haze it looks like Rudimental could be this year's kings of dance (maybe after Disclosure, those boys R dope!), they debuted on the chart @ #20.

Also new this week was young Kiwi Lorde and the killer tune "Royals"from her "Love Club" EP, this is killer catchy and killer cool. Hit up Randy Andy now to stream these two tunes.

In the top ten saw monster hits from Flume, Macklemore and Ryan Lewis stealing two top spots, the Harlem Shake still hanging out in the top 10 & Calvin Harris showing his album 18 months has way more than 18 months shelf life.

For the full chart and older ones drop by here.

Stay tuned for another Super Producer coming your way (who will be next), Album of the Year Nominations (it's been a slow start to 2013 thus far, but things can only get better and with new releases from Charli XCX, Major Lazer, Yeah Yeah Yeahs & Owl Eyes on the way are you as excited as I am?) and finally to leave you with looking ahead @ the release schedule let's look at some of the biggest releases to come in future months:

This Friday Cold War Kids, James Blake & Wiley all release new discs, Wiley has had a number of dance floor hits thus far with his soon to be release "The Ascent", so look out for this floor filler.

From now till the end of April look out for new records from Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Charli XCX, Owl Eyes, Phoenix, Kid Cudi & Ben Lee.

May we are going to finally get the debut from Rudimental "Home" (as discussed above), Vampire Weekend drop their third effort, Jinja Safari return & Laura Marling is going to blow our minds once again.

So until next time, thanks for stopping by and visiting the home of new music, classic albums and the new place where a total music nerd will be posting random stuff. Until then hope you all stuffed yourselves silly with Creme Eggs.
