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?!

These Are a Few of my Favourite Things

"When the dog bites, when the bee stings

When I'm feeling sad

I simply remember my favourite things

And then I don't feel, so bad"

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.

Too old for a Disney film?

Well, last Monday's blog post blew up didn't it?! Goodness me- I'm quite gutted that I'm not one of these daily vlogger people, who seem to film every single second of their life, because I would have killed to see the look on my own face when I logged in to see that my 'Sad' post had about 5 times the normal total view count, after just a couple of days (thanks Chris.. ^.^ ) Thank you so much to every single person who either left a nice comment on there, or text/messaged me about it etc..You're all wonderful and deserve all the cheesecake and tea. After last weeks long, emotional mess, let's keep it super short and lighthearted this week...

Farewell Fearne

We all have that one person- not necessarily the person that we aspire to be or the person we take bucket-loads of inspiration from, but the person who we have uttermost respect for; the person we'd love to sit with in a room for an hour and talk about their story, their journey and learn about their life because they're just so fascinating, and you know you could talk to them for hours. Mine is Fearne Cotton.

Sad.

For a while, I wasn't okay. Things weren't good and I struggled to find happiness, even when everything around me was incredibly positive. And even now, I'm not great- but it's getting better and now that I'm finally realizing this, I feel it's my duty to you lovely lot, to advise you on how to cope with these types of situations.

"Real Music"

"Real Music" is a phrase that gets chucked around an awful lot, more often than not, although not exclusively and certainly not always, by rock/indie/alternative bands and their fans. And it's normally aimed towards more hip hop and dance records which angers me greatly. Surely if it's music, it's music- why dispute about the legitimacy?!
