What's your favourite song ever?

How did I miss so much House & Garage from the 90's?? Oh wait, yeah no that's right, it was because I was listening to Michael Bolton, Michael Jackson, Celine Dion, and most influentially, the Spice Girls.

I would like to thank Mr Collier, from work (and Essex) for this, he continues to amuse and educate me:

Loved Music Live

I am getting very excited about the impending Bon Iver gig I've had a ticket stuck to my wall for since May. I missed the initial rush and ended up with a sold on ticket for twice the price and I don't even mind. After watching them twice at Glastonbury 2010 I can't wait to hear material from their recent album live.

I've been youtubing unheard material just to reinforce my adoration of the voice and talent of the man behind the lyrics, Justin Vernon. I'm currently on hold to Orange waiting to rant about how I still can't open picture messages people send me and the faltering pop of the hold music only serves to heighten my appreciation of Bon Iver's songs.

In a rare occurrence it is near impossible to pick a song or video that I don't want to share. I've settled on the one below because it was the last one I listened to before decided to write this post. And quite frankly it's loveliness speaks for itself.

song of the day

October Heat-Fest

Helping me slumber on this too-hot October (just) evening.

The Weeknd / The Morning

How I have become Twitter obsessed {part one}

As I am in a rush (both in time and in a frenetically inarticulately overcome way) I am just going to quickly post this video and follow it up with my thoughts when I get back to somewhere that is not this oppressively warm room.



Just...so, uh! Amazing.

To be continued...

song of the day

So, yes, the first time I'd heard this song was in the film Lucky Number Slevin, but I didn't quite appreciate how good it was at the time. I've just listened to it again in the midst of a podcast and it's like it struck out of nowhere in one of those "...I KNOW this song" moments. Oh the funkiness has made my day. Now to see if any bars in town tonight will play it for me...
