C. Talking about music

Today we are going to listen to four songs by 4 different artists in order to be able to express our opinion on them and share it with our partners in York.

Listen to the songs and write a brief commentary on each one of them. Try to describe the musical style, if they remind you of any other bands - national or international - you have heard, and if you have ever attended a gig by any of these artists or similar ones. Use the hyperlinks to access information on all of these bands.

·         London Grammar a band formed in Nottingham, England: Nightcall (2013)

·         Stars from Montreal, Canada: Take Me To The Riot (2010) 

·         Glasvegas from Glasgow, Scotland: Geraldine (2008) 

·         The Decemberists from Portland, Oregon U.S.A.: The Wanting Comes in Waves/ Repaid (2009) 

Write down any interesting or new words and expressions that you have learnt while reading, listening to and viewing the information on the bands and their songs. Then contact your partner in York to discuss your opinions on the songs you have listened to and your musical tastes.

Publish your commentaries on the songs and any interesting facts you have discovered on your website. Do not forget to add any relevant information that you have learnt from your partner.

Remember to add any new words to the online glossary as well as a sentence showing how to use them in context.
