January Playlist: 2015

Posted by Unknown with No comments
The monthly playlists have returned! Most of the music is not really new this month as January always seems to be slow month for new releases but without further ado, here are my favourite tunes from this past month.

As soon as I saw Mockingjay: Part 1 I knew I had to download Jennifer Lawrence's rendition of The Hanging Tree. I just love that she sang it herself. At first I was distraught to find it was not on the official soundtrack but a few days later I found that it was hiding on separate movie score soundtrack. Phew!

I'm six months late to the party but this month I finally got around to downloading George Ezra's amazing debut album Wanted On Voyage. A particular favourite is Blind Man in Amsterdam. Mainly I just like the bum bum bum bum badabadum bit.

One song that you may not have come across is This is Home by Bryan Lanning. Bryan, along with his wife Missy and their adorable little boy Ollie, are known on YouTube as DailyBumps and this month Bryan released his debut single. The song is about his family and it's adorable, as is the music video. You should definitely check it out!

Glee is back! There has a been a gaping hole in my iTunes due to the lack of new Glee songs but finally they have returned. Now, Season 6 is not looking to be the best, both in terms of the story and the music but there's still a few good'uns in there. 

Up - Olly Murs ft. Demi Lovato
The Hanging Tree - Jennifer Lawrence
Wings - Birdy
Blame it on Me - George Ezra
Blind Man in Amsterdam - George Ezra
This is Home - Bryan Lanning
Bitch - Jane Lynch
Home - Glee Cast
Out of the Woods - Taylor Swift

Cory.

Posted by Unknown with No comments
I'm sure most of you are aware that last week Cory Monteith passed away. Some of you may not really care but to all the Gleeks, myself included, it was pretty devastating news to wake up to on a Sunday morning.


Finn was never my favourite character on Glee but I still really liked him and his loss is going to leave a gaping hole in the show. Any tribute episode they do for Cory is going to be all kinds of emotional to watch and I honestly feel for Lea Michele and the rest of the cast having to film it.

Anyway, as I said, I'm a Gleek and in honour of Cory I thought I'd put together a little playlist of my favourite Finn performances. I hope you enjoy it. 


And last but not least, where it all began just over 4 years ago.
Don't Stop Believing


RIP Cory. You will be missed.

June Playlist 2013

Posted by Unknown with No comments
Am I the only who genuinely cannot believe that it's July already? It doesn't seem 5 minutes ago that we were basking in Olympic glory yet that was nearly a year ago! Anyway onto what I've been listening to throughout the month of June.

Please Don't Say You Love Me - Gabrielle Aplin
Dance Your Pain Away - Agnetha Fältskog
Something That We're Not - Demi Lovato
Stars - Mark Owen
Only Teardrops - Emmelie de Forest
We Can't Stop - Miley Cyrus
5:15 - Bridgit Mendler
Neon Lights - Demi Lovato
Pompeii - Bastille
Panic Chord - Gabriella Aplin

This month I have hands down fallen in love with Gabrielle Aplin's debut album English Rain. I first gave it a listen on iTunes and wasn't actually that taken by it but decided to buy it when my Mum said she wanted it too and I'm so glad that I did! It's not necessarily an album I'd listen to in isolation but then again I don't particularly enjoy listening to albums period. I've gotten too used to shuffle. But that's what I like about Gabrielle, her songs stand out in the endless stream of pop and glee that inhabits 80% of my iPod yet at the same time it's not worlds away. I can still sing along to it which after all is one of the most important aspects for me when it comes to liking a song.

Two other albums I've really been liking are Demi Lovato's newest release "Demi" and Agnetha Fältskog of ABBA fame's return to the world of music, "A". "Demi" is classic, well, Demi. She's stuck to what she does best and if it ain't broke. If you love a bit of Dancing Queen then you're sure to like "A", it defintely has that classic ABBA feel despite not being written but Benny and Bjorn but it suits Agnetha as she is now a little more reserved and mature.

April Playlist 2013

Posted by Unknown with No comments


This month was a little slow in terms of new music but the songs that I did discover quickly became firm favourites.

I talked about Ready or Not by Bridgit Mendler in my Guilty Pleasures video and my thoughts on the song still hold true. The lyrics are hilarious in all the wrong ways but that's why I love it and it's as catchy as hell so… Hurricane is another one from her album I've been liking, again hilarious lyrics (floppin' on a bed like a flying squirrel anyone?) but good nonetheless. This isn't groundbreaking music but if you're looking for some fun, lighthearted catchy tunes then give these a listen!

Selena Gomez and Demi Lovato went up against each other this month, both releasing the first single from their respective albums. I really like them both but Heart Attack wins it for me just because it suits Demi so much more than Come & Get It suits Selena, especially in terms of performing it live. Sorry Selena but if you can't sing and dance at the same time, just except it and stick to one or the other.

My housemate Carly is to blame completely for introducing me to The Duck Song. In all honesty I downloaded it purely for the "waddle waddle" line. Warning: if you've never heard this before, proceed with caution as it will get into your head and annoy the crap out of you indefinitely.

In April I read Warm Bodies by Isaac Marion which has a main character called Julie. This led to Julie by Take That popping into my head whenever I was reading so I felt it deserved a mention even though I haven't actually really listened to it this month.

February Playlist 2013

Posted by Unknown with No comments


Right at the start of February I went on a little iTunes spree. First I bought Centre Stage by Kimberley Walsh. As much as I love me some show tunes I mainly bought this to support Kimberley as I'm a pretty big fan of Girls Aloud but it's not a bad album. It didn't blow me away or anything but it's good. My favourite song is definitely One Day I'll Fly Away from Moulin Rouge. I love the original and Kimberley has put together a great version. On a side note, I've also included the club remix version at the end. Does anyone else think it sounds like it's been remixed with Gangnam Style? Please tell me I'm not the only one.

Next was a bit of impulse buy. I downloaded Stardust by Lena. If you've not heard of Lena before she's a German singer who won the Eurovision Song Contest a few years ago. This has become my favourite album this month. It's just fun and doesn't take itself too seriously. 

I know that I am extremely late to the party when it comes to Mumford & Sons but I'm finally starting to understand what all the fuss is about. I decided to get their album a few weeks ago after watching the Brits and I'll admit, it's good. I already had their first album thanks to my sister, I'd just never really got round to listening to it. Well, that has now changed.

Other than the obligatory Glee numbers, and a random One Direction song that has been incessantly stuck in my head the majority of the month, the only other song this month is Do You Hear The People Sing? I've still been listening to the music from Les Mis and this has been my favourite song this month. It's just so uplifting!

What's been your favourite song this month? Let me know!

Valentine's Playlist

Posted by Unknown with 1 comment
Whether you love it or loath it, today is Valentine's Day. In honour of this I thought I'd put together a little playlist of some of my favourite songs about love to get you in the spirit of it all. So, as it's the 14th and I couldn't narrow down my list, here's my top 14 songs for Valentine's Day.

January Playlist

Posted by Unknown with 7 comments
 
Love Is Easy - McFly
I Dreamed A Dream - Les Misérables
Dark Side - Glee/Kelly Clarkson
Skyfall - Adele
I'm With You - Avril Lavigne
Tell Him - Glee/The Exciters
Run - P!nk
Everybody Talks - Glee/Neon Trees
Kiss You - One Direction
A Thousand Years - Christina Perri

For the start of this month it was pretty much all about Les Mis for me. After finally getting to see the film I downloaded the original cast recording of the West End show (the actual movie soundtrack is seriously lacking some songs i.e. Do You Here The People Sing) and as it always has been and probably always will be, I Dreamed A Dream is my favourite. Most of the other songs are simply ones from late 2012 that I'm still loving. 

 You may notice that there's an odd one out in terms of when it was released. Well, my housemates decided to have an impromptu Avril Lavigne session which reminded me how good her first album was, especially I'm With You, and so it's since been playing quite a lot on my iPod since then.

2012 Playlist

Posted by Unknown with No comments

Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all rang in 2013 with appropriate frivolities.

As the new year is upon us I thought I'd take one last look back at the year of 2012.

This is going to be a list of those songs that will forever remind me of 2012. It's also the first of a monthly series as I felt my blog need a little more music, what with my YouTube being all music orientated and whatnot. 

So in no particular order, here are my top 10 songs of 2012*:

1. It's Time - Glee/Imagine Dragons
2. We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together - Taylor Swift
3. Hall of Fame - The Script ft. will.i.am
4. Starships - Glee/Nicki Minaj
5. Cough Syrup - Glee/Young The Giant
6. Gangnam Style - PSY
7. Blow Me (One Last Kiss) - P!nk
8. Harder Than You Think - Public Enemy
9. Call Me Maybe - Carly Rae Jepsen
10. Sing - Gary Barlow and the Commonwealth Band

*I've linked to a YouTube video of each song

And, my favourite album of 2012 is The Truth About Love by P!nk.

What songs make you think of 2012?
