Summertime Songs

"Jeez, it's hot" said the entirety of Britain in union on Tuesday morning. Unlike most, I don't see what all the fuss is about. 2 months ago, we were complaining that it was cold, now it's too hot? Anyway, this sudden burst of heat means there's an odd choice of music on the radio at the moment. Apparently warmth is an excuse to play songs which would not be accepted at any other point in the year, generally europop, cheese and anything with 'sun' in the title- my favourite of which, I shall share with you now...

Best Covers

A week ago, I told you that The Half Eight's cover of Shut Up and Dance is my current favourite cover. However, it still has some competition before becoming my favourite of all time; and I wish to share some of these competitors with you.

A Chat With... The Half Eight

There are so many bands working their way up to success nowadays, it's difficult to find something exciting and original. However it does mean that, when you do find that one that stands out, it's even more special. Introducing, The Half Eight

How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful

A short while ago, I wrote about a whole load of albums and music that I want but can't afford. Considering exam stress and general crapiness, it felt only right to treat myself to Florence and the Machine's new album. Plus, I write a music blog so it's just research, right?!

i don't even have a name for this playlist

I'm not going to lie to you- it's currently 9:15pm. I've been up and working since 6am, stopping just for snacks and tea. Therefore this is being written, hopefully 20 minutes before it's uploaded. Therefore, it's effectively going to be a whole load of crap I've recently been listening to, all put together in a playlist that, is so mismatched, I can't even think of a name for it. If you're one of the few who actually com here for credible music opinions, I recommend leaving now- come back next week. But for now, here are some songs I like.

Musical Wish List

My iTunes is such a flop at the moment! There are so many albums I want to buy but, being a poor student, I don't have the money. Instead, I quite like to endlessly scroll the iTunes store for hours, looking at all the awesome music that I can't afford. I know, I know that I could just use Spotify instead but I don't bond with it like I do other streaming sites etc.. Maybe I'll give it another try soon!

Another Revision Playlist?!

Right, this'll be my last revision based post for a while because there's really not much else to say! I popped up a Revision Playlist post which seemed to go down really well a couple of weeks ago, and received a comment from postingvprojects (who you should totally check out!) asking for some more current songs. Well, your wish is my command!

Revision Playlist

As I'm sure many of you are aware, it's early revision season- which sucks. I'm in the final year of my A levels so I study 3 subjects and have about 9 exams coming up (if I've counted correctly). I'm mentioned lots of times, how much of a music lover I am, so during long revision days, I do love a good playlist which I wish to share with you. Now, I wouldn't recommend this say if, you're testing yourself on a topic or focusing really hard on something which requires 100% of your attention, but for those periods where you're just sat going through notes, making mind maps etc. I think this should be perfect...

Another Playlist...

Once again, this post is brought to you via atrocious internet connection and the joy of scheduled uploading... Thank you for being so patient with me whilst the internet is rubbish! I know these posts are shorter than normal but I promise- there is nothing I can do about it. We have rung the company (who I shan't name out of politeness) countless times and they really are not responding. I think I'll write a rant-y post for Monday about the whole situation because it really is quite unbelievable how ignorant a company can be, but for now, I'll stick to a short, sweet playlist of songs I've been loving driving to lately- I hope that will do until I 
can actually access this blog from my writing desk...

Forest Walk Playlist

I went for a really lovely forest walk today and wanted to share with you some of the songs I particularly enjoyed whilst on my travels. I thought that maybe if you have any plans before heading back to school/college/uni/work you could add these suggestions to your soundtrack ^.^
