Bring on the New Year..and some new Music!

Actually iv been 'bringing on' the new year for a month now, and i still don't feel like iv embarked on a new journey as yet! You know that feeling of Change, brand-new-awakening and that new-found-hope that you feel at the beginning of each year? as soon as you wake up, the morning after New years (after of course the sick feeling of partying like its the end of the world, the night before).
Bottom Line, i don't feel it as yet..I have felt a lot of other things, thought of all the ways i can change things up a bit, so as to not feel like i'm stuck in some kind of rut! So far the only thing that has changed (yet again) is the kind of music iv been listening to lately..(in an attempt to uplift my Soul-says the psychotherapist side of my brain). So here i am, sharing again, with you..hope it lifts your soul as well!

I want the world to stop- Belle & Sebastian ..Starting slow, an excellent tune with an old school feel. I for one cannot get enough of it. Top of my playlist.


L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N- Noah and the whale ..From the english Indie band that brought you '5 years time' (which im sure iv talked about before-go through previous posts you lazies)


Sweet about me- Ida Maria(BBC Live Lounge) ..An amazing cover of Gabrielle Cilmi..which some say is better than the original.. personally i felt both were so different that they could be songs in their own right! This one i might just like (slightly) better, mostly because of her raspy smokey voice backed by some gorgeous guitar..Classic Live lounge!



Someone Like you-Adele (BBC Live Lounge) ..Since we are on the live lounge/slow-mo theme, i though id put in an absolute Beaut of a song by one of my favorites. The piano complements her deeply emotional vocals with lyrics that pierce into your heart and hit a home run (c'mon do you feel a pinch in your heart when you hear the words? Happened to us all, at some point or the other, right?)


Window Seat- Erykah Badu ..The ultimate Queen of soul/funk. A lyrical genius that speaks directly to you..yes the everyday you. Chilled out stuff, guaranteed win!

Rolling in the Deep-Adele (Jamie XX remix) ..The original is one of my favoirtes off her new album..and another great artist, Jamie (from The XX-band) has taken the song ot whole other level, with this great remix!

Time to change tempo..

Hello- Martin Solveig & Dragonette ..Speaks for itself!


Animal- Neon Trees ..Weird lyrics, but what a fun song, that gets stuck in your head so bad! UH-OH!


What You Know-Two Door Cinema Club ..This band has fast become one of my favorites, simply for their very distinct sound. Really enjoyed listening to this in the car, singing along!


You can Dance- Chilly Gonzales ..Top of my playlist these days! Highly Recommend a listen!! (the video starts off funny/cute but fast becomes creepy, sexist and Weird. So apologies for the vid, this was the only one with the good version)


My feelings for you- Avicii & Sebastian Drums ..Danced to this for quite a while, in my room, car, kitchen, bathroom, etc. Its just one of those!


Millionaire-Kelis feat. Andre 3000 ..Foot thumpin' body boppin' feel good stuff from two very talented (and deeply under rated) artists.


Bad Gal- Savage Skulls & Douster feat. Robyn ..I hear this and it transports me to a club..Good Stuff! Robyn on vocals, with a beat that is difficult not move to!


Animal Rights- Deadmau5 & Wolfgang Gartner ..No vocals, just cool fun stuff! Starts off properly at 1 min, so push forward if your the impatient kind!



Household Goods- Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs ..and also known as T.E.E.D. Cool name haan. N'uff said? take a listen and you'll know why im not saying more..The cheezy lazer sounds in the song don't turn you off because your too busy enjoying it so much!


Demons-Fenech Soler (Hotchkiss remix) ..I have spoken about Fenech Soler time and time again..i Love them, and this remix is brilliant.And just when you think the remix does justice, theres another, which i have equally grown to appreciate so i give you the choice of hearing them both and making your own decision.
Demons-Fenech Soler (Yuksek remix) (the original songs good too! these two don't take away that much from it)


I Love You So-Cassius (Skream remix) ..Gorgeous tune! Just put together perfectly! My Anthem these days..and will be my Valentines day anthem! Something different to the cheezy love songs people play all day..this shall be mine :) (and maybe yours, who knows)


Slow Down- Break & Dj Die ..Don't be fooled by the title and the name of the artists, heh! Powerful stuff, here! Caution, it is Dub-Step, and is heavy and is also an acquired taste..so you might not enjoy it a much as i do! (Also i must add, it is a great motivator on the treadmill, if you want to give it a try!)

We can have it all- Danny Byrd (Sigma remix) ..Hello treadmill! Up-tempo-run-motivator


Enjoy!
..MushaBooom!
