On Monday morning, I sat down with my notebook to write a to do list for the day ahead. I was reading over my list from Friday to see if there was anything I still needed to do, and I saw that in the margin of the page I’d written the word ‘OCTOPUS’ in big capital letters, and underlined it.

Yup, octopus. Underlined. Octopus was obviously a very important thought on Friday. Why? I hadn’t the foggiest idea.

I shared this on Twitter, and it was Jason who managed to wrap things up for me. He messaged me saying ‘It doesn’t have anything to do with Bastille, does it?’. Ah, yes. Yes it did. Turns out, I’d written it as a reminder to myself to share the following fact on here….

The other day, Jason convinced me that the chorus line in the Bastille song ‘Pompeii’ was ‘How am I gonna be an octopus about this…’ I believed him so completely that a week or so later when I was happily singing the octopus version of the song, Jase took pity and told me that he’d been having me on. How do you make a band as cool as Bastille completely and utterly dorky? Insert the name of a sea creature into their lyrics.

Anyway, I just can’t get enough of Bastille at the moment. Flaws is my favourite song. Have a listen!

p.s. Have I just ruined Pompeii for you? I’m sorry. Please take it up with my other half…;)

kate nash!

i heard one of her songs on the tv a few days ago, and since then i’ve had the biggest obsession with her music! why did i ever stop listening to it?! her music is the soundtrack of my final school years, and listening to it brings back some lovely ‘rosy glow’ memories :) i’ve treated myself to the album (thank you itunes!) and will be listening to it on repeat ad infinitum!

i’ve listened to this on repeat for about three hours, i can’t get enough! it’s the grammy performance by a swedish a-cappella group called erato, who were the inspiration for this beautiful cover. i actually prefer the bits they sing in swedish, it sounds so stunning and makes me want to start learning the language immediately (i might have just been looking on amazon for teach yourself swedish books)
skip to 0.27 and have a listen, it’s worth it! i’m just off to press play for the 500th time…

i’m really excited to introduce you to this beautiful song! the singer is tom morley, a friend whose music i admired before we even met! he’s got at least one (if not two!) feet on the professional music ladder, and i think he’s super talented. this song, called ‘l.a is far‘ was stuck in my head for an entire weekend after i heard it for the first time. have a listen! his facebook page can be found here, if you’d like to hear more from tom.
