*Product Review* Fender Squier Strat

So, Merry Christmas and Happy New year everyone! I hope you all had a good holiday season filled with lots of merry music (which personally I got sick of in early November...)!

But, for my Christmas, my parents got me a Fender Squier Strat electric guitar!!! I love it far too much and before I went back to school a few days ago, I would literally lock myself in my room and play... so yeah, its an amazing guitar.

It has three pic-ups and comes with a decent sized amp, a tuner, a whammy bar and three 'Fender' plectrums (I collect them, sometimes I get a little bit over exited...).

 

^^^ This is what mine looks like, but the white is black :)

 

So if there is anything else you want to know, just comment. Comment sites to look at, artists, albums, songs, products or anything for me to have a look at!! Have a good weekend!

"Human"- The Killers

Song: Human
Album: Day & Age
Singer: The Killers 
Genre: Synthpop
Rating: *****

So, I saw The Killers perform this on XFactor on Saturday (14th November). I was there, and I was backstage. They were amazing. Amazing, amazing,amazing, amazing. And this is such a good song to sing along to. The chorus is so catchy and the lyrics, 'Are we human, or are we dancer?' relates to me so much. So much.

Of course, we've all seen this year's (2013) John Lewis Christmas commercial. It makes me cry every time even though it's all happy in the end.  #bearandhare forever :)

So this is how this version of the song got famous, and also because it is Lily's comeback track after a long break.
