Tuesday Tunes

The last couple of months has been tough as I am currently job hunting (and not finding). Music and photography have really been helping me get through it though, and the album that has calmed me down from all the stress the most has been Alt-J, An Awesome Wave. I first heard of them when they were nominated for the Mercury Music Prize, which they went on to win, and as soon as I heard a few clips on Amazon I was pretty sure I'd like them. Turns out I was wrong - I totally love this album! It really is a rare find to love an album in its entirety, and I nearly always play it all the way through. The only other album I feel this way about is my old favourite My Vitriol, Finelines. The track I'd like to share with you today is Something Good. I recommend watching it purely for the beautiful photography.......

Something Good - Alt-J

Tuesday Tunes - the return!

I've really been getting back into music this last year, so I want to continue my Tuesday Tunes and share all my favourites and any new discoveries. Today's song comes from the album 'Seven Rainbows' by Alice Gold. It had been on my Amazon wishlist for some time, and I finally took the plunge. And yes, I did buy the actual CD. There is just something so much more satisfying about finding a good new album if you actually have it in your hands. I don't buy all my music on CD by any means, but after my '30 before 30' project when I made an effort to discover new music on CD every month, I do buy them when I'm pretty sure I'll love them! This one even had the lyrics printed in the sleeve (sorry to everyone who hears me singing along). And now, on to the music............

I've only listened to the album once through, but it really is pretty good. Reminds me a bit of Bat for Lashes, Marina and the Diamonds and The Pierces. Well worth a listen if you like this sort of thing. And, apparently, she lives on a narrowboat!

Runaway Love by Alice Gold

My favourite song of the moment, and I just got tickets to go see her perform in October!!!! So excited. There is no official video for this one as it's an album track only at the moment, but enjoy................

Living Dead by Marina and the Diamonds

A kind of edgy, sultry song for today.........

Recovery by Kosheen

I'm filling out a 365 song challenge and I'm stuck trying to come up with a song I like that describes friendship, and I'm not resorting to 'He Aint Heavy'.
