Musical Interlude: Erato

So…anyone wanting to form an all-girl  A Capella group that uses found objects to produce mesmerising percussion??? I want in!!

Soundtrack: Lana Del Rey

I first heard this while gazing at the scenery going by driving back from Dorset. It was a warm Saturday afternoon, it came on the radio and it just felt really…right. This is called Video Games, by Lana Del Rey.

Florence + The Machine: What The Water Gave Me

Hot of the music press!!! Only debuted yesterday – here is Florence + The Machine’s new song from the, as yet unnamed, 2nd album due out in the UK on November 7th (I am unbelievable excited about this!!!!!). Go Flo!!

Amy Winehouse. 1983~2011

This isn’t the first tribute post, and it definitly won’t be the last. However, her greatness merits all the outpouring of grief and affection and I would like to tell you of mine. Even though there were times when it could be seen that this was coming,  I always hoped it wouldn’t. She was imensely talented and had a voice with such soul in it, but more than that, she was a genius lyricist. I can’t count the times I’ve spent listening to her albums and being able to relate. But, even though she’s gone now, that will always live on. I’ve drawn Amy before, but I thought I’d do another one of her from the earlier days, when she looked happier, acompanying it is one of my favourite performances of hers. I just hope she’s content now.

Musical Moments of 2011

I think I shall make it a tradition to do a post of my faviourite music of the year. This year has certainly seen quite a lot of good music, it was rather difficult to pick just a few. Some of them may seem…a little strange, but if someone out there hears something they like that they’ve never heard before, then I’ll suffer any embarrassment. I hope you can find something new to love among these songs. It’ll be back to the fashion soon I promise.
