You may have noticed there was no playlist last week. That's simply because I hadn't listened to any music other than the Dodie playlist I made. I'm still slightly obsessed but I've managed to pull myself away from the sound of her ukulele to find and enjoy the following ten songs. You can listen to this playlist on Spotify here or right down there! ...

I'm a typical millennial pop culture enthusiast. I enjoy Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Nicki Minaj was my most streamed artist of 2015 and I know every tattoo Harry Styles has in chronological order. I don't enjoy maths, computers or anime. I love Lena Dunham and real life and stay as far away as possible from intergalactic space Odessys. These interests don't mean...

If you've followed me for any longer than a day you'll know that I'm very passionate about music. But lately I've had some qualms about how music is being distributed and created for profit rather than for a love of music. My last Playlist of The Week was completely about Dodie Clark, a musician who posts her own content purely for the love...

Dodie Clarke or 'doddleoddle' is a highly understated YouTuber who I mentioned in this post. She writes songs about love and adolescence and more. She finds emotion in unlikely places and her sentimentality makes for some beautiful songs. This weeks POTW isn't available on Spotify but you can find my YouTube playlist of the following songs here.  Sick of Losing Soul Mates This...

Here's what I've been listening to this week. You can listen here. No Sense // Justin Bieber  Justin has been releasing some banging tunes lately. So I checked out his album and if I'm being honest I'm a little disappointed. He definitely released its best tracks prior for its promotion. But this is a good tune.  Sea of Voices // Porter Robinson  This...

This is a tough one. I've had a good life with many happy moments. When I was four and I sat on Santa's lap and he told me I was a good girl I beamed for a week. When my family brought our Labrador Bart home and he ran to me first I felt a weird sense of maternal happiness towards a tiny...

You can listen to Some Kind of Illness on bandcamp here.  Some Kind of Illness is a darkly romantic album with a juxtaposed melancholic yet inspiring sound. M83 and The 1975 are just a few of the bands I could compare. It may be an acoustic album but synthesisers are used throughout. Notably on the tracks Maple Leaf and Angel Breakdown the use...

I can't imagine much worse than being stuck alone on a desert island. I think the only thing worse would to be stuck alone on a desert island with no music. Here are the four albums I'd bring if I were to be shipped off to a desert island. Don't Panic (It's Longer Now) // All Time Low Chances are if I'm stuck...

This week I had a little rummage through my older music collection, songs I'd listened to through my teenage years. From the age of around 15 I always felt a little lovelorn and down on the whole love and relationships thing. I don't even know why but my music library really shows it. So I thought I'd channel that into this playlist. You...

I talked about this bag in my Autumn Wishlist so if you wanna know why I love it you could go read that. Only now...

Today's challenge is to write for five minutes in the prompt Freedom. So I've set my timer and here we go. I've put very little thought into the word freedom before. To me freedom has always meant living a life away from my parents. However as I grew up over time I realised that true and real freedom is quite difficult to come by....

I know, you've probably heard all of these songs before and yes some of them are a little over played despite only being released in the last few weeks. But that doesn't mean they're not good songs. Dance, sing and maybe cry along to some of these and embrace the childish joy they majority of them bring. You can listen to this playlist...

I'm here to write about my feelings at this moment in time.  I keep having little epiphanies in relation to issues I have both physically and mentally. However, shortly after these epiphanies I revert to how I felt before. Maybe I overthink or maybe I'm just too fickle, but I can never stick to new positive frames of mind. I think my biggest issues...

This playlist is just what I've been listening to most this week. You can listen to it on Spotify here and you can find all my other playlists here. You Know You Like It - Aluna George (DJ SNAKE REMIX) This has been out a while but it only properly listened to it recently. I love how it's still quite chill but it...

This post is inspired by Charly Cox. She has been a longtime favourite blogger of mine simply because she's different. She can put into words what I cannot and I envy her talent to an indescribable degree. While I love her, I had fallen behind on reading her posts. Today I read this.This post was exactly what I needed. If you know me...
