Video Games

Although it's a little bit of a delayed reaction in regards to a post on this, i still love this wonderful song by Lana Del Ray as much as i did the first time i heard it. There's something beautifully melancholy about her voice and i love this live rendition of Video Games. Enjoy.

Autumn

Autumn / Winter is my favourite time of the year (yes, i'm a December baby) and being in the midst of the lovely autumnal colours, dewy mornings and darker nights, i thought it would be appropriate for a little picture post showing all the great things about this season. Here's what i love:

Oversized Jumpers · Autumnal footwear · Getting home and snuggling up in a blanket with my laptop · After school comfort food · Walking / going on adventures in the woodlands · Using my cats as hot water bottles

Am i the only one who, after a long day at school, breaks into the biscuit tin, grabs a handful of calorific goodness, sits with the television on as background noise and chillaxes by reading about the happenings in other people's lives via facebook, blogspot and twitter? There's something about Autumn that makes this act of doing nothing productive perfectly acceptable. I personally think that there's nothing better than getting in from a rainy walk home, hanging your clothes on the radiator then snuggling up with your slipper socks on, comfort food in hand and unwinding whilst watching the latest offerings of reality tv. I just love Autumn and everything it brings, especially those sunny mornings that have a sharp coldness in the air so you can wrap up in your wooliest scarf; i got too excited the first time i brought mine out this year. I hope everyone is having a lovely Autumn so far...bring on Winter i suppose :)

What are your favourite Autumnal moments?

La La Loving: Rizzle Kicks

YAY! YAY! YAY! I just got tickets to go and see RIZZLE KICKS in February and i cannot control myself right now. Deep breaths Mols, deep breaths. My friend Emily and i have been walking on clouds this week just thinking about the prospect of seeing our loves Jordan and Harley live. Sat listening to their album, Stereotypical, i am really not helping myself just before i go to bed by getting this amped up. WOOOH! Anywho, i thought this would be an appropriate time to do a little artist / album review: 

I have loved Rizzle Kicks for a while now. Having previously listened to raw mixtapes and live sets before their album dropped three days ago, i fell in love with their fresh sound; mixing hip-hop beats with brass elements and ska vibes. There's something very universal about the duo's music due to an element of every genre imaginable being incorporated into this incredible album. Without a sight nor sound of a depressinig love song, Rizzle Kicks have brought a refreshing change to the music scene, which these days is so full of pessemistic views on the world. Their fun, youthful outlook create engaging lyrics and this is reflected in the upbeat rhythms. With Jordan's rapping and Harley's singing side by side as well as their insane style, i don't understand how you couldn't love them.

My favourite tracks were...i can't even decide. I just highly recommend that everyone purchases (and not illegaly downloads!) Stereotypical. Wonderful.

Rewind: Bang Bang

Rewinding back to the sixties with a song covered by Nancy Sinatra. Such engagingly mysterious lyrics and a wonderful voice. I love old school music and i love this.

p.s. i totally had a jazz jam sesh in music today singing songs by the likes of George Gershwin and Nina Simone. In my absolute element.
