Tom Lark's new single "Haircut" (Studio and Unplugged Versions)

Here is the brands new single from the talented Tom Lark called "Haircut". As always the production for the tune is top notch. I also really like the guitar tone and jumpy playing for the intro. It actually reminds me off all the times I jumped around in the seat while getting my haircut. When I was a younger chap I had to have my hair cut because my personality would bounce back into line with societies norms from think reformed rascal/menace to society. Man everything is flashing back into my minds eye listening to this song. One particular bad haircut was a number 1 and 3 on the sides cringe haha.

Highlights from this song are definitely the bass drum, i'd actually be interested to know if it was programmed or live in the studios. It's almost like 1960's rock meets modern electro production. The Beach Boys definitely seems like a solid influence on Mr Lark. I've got to say if this is a hint of whats to come I reckon will all go get a haircut and get Tom Lark's new album.



For music addicts check out this live unplugged version of the song courtesy of The Riff Records :) damn those are some nice looking microphones!!!

What is it about Chuck Taylors ??

The weird thing about Chuck Taylor shoes are there success in my view. A little piece of canvas with a shoe sole and a great emblem has destroyed the choice for hipsters. The kids know that a pair of shoes which will always undeniably cool for anyone who isn't too old is the Converse All Star. It looks so unassuming but theres something deeply attached to it that has fostered it's success. I'm not stupid I know that they're branding budget for the shoe would be in the tens if not hundreds of millions but thats not the catalyst for it's success it only maintains it. 

In my opinion what makes the Converse so successful is it's the vibe. The shoe stands for a freedom that is an obvious big F you to all other shoes and fashion in general. While everyone has moon boots with their Nike Swooshs and amazing gadgets the converse has jack all. Essential the shoe is a metaphorical under dog that is supported by youngsters of every generation to show the established old farts they suck.
