NYC Dreaming

I love an Indie band, I really do. I enjoy a jangly guitar, some wobbly vocals and a front man with floppy hair. I've even been known to have been wooed by synth.

However, after a two week dive into the throbbing mess that is New York City I am quite hopelessly back in love with Hip Hop. It has to be said that the voices of Biggie and Jay Z sound so much better whilst watching yellow taxis and the Manhattan skyline.

And even though my heart is with Rock & Roll, you can't beat shocking out to a moody Hip Hop beat in a place where no one is afraid to dance. YES - even the boys dance in New York.

So for now, with my body in London but my mind in NYC you'll find me jumping around my room to this...

Fairytale Lullaby - Bombay Bicycle Club

So today has been a bit of a meepy day, (meepy means mopey, just a bit worse) my wisdom teeth have been giving me some hardcore jip and lets just say I felt out of sorts over my bacon sandwich this morning. That was until I whisked myself off on a bonny bike ride to Victoria Park. Picture the scene; The sun was shining, there was blue sky, people were picnicking surrounded by bunting and pork based products, the wind was in my hair and the most wonderful music drifted into my lug holes. It was the tinkly sound of Fairytale Lullaby by Bombay Bicycle Club.



So if you're feeling a bit drab, and something’s got one over on you - give this a spin and you'll be transported to a thick woodland, teeming with pixies and a large array of flora. Thanks Bombay, thanks very much. You pretty much saved my day.

TINKLE WINKLE!! xxxx

A very divine video from Dimbleby & Capper for her cover of The Crystals 'Then He Kissed Me'

It's powdery and fluffy and just beautiful. Whoever made/chose that dress needs a pat on the back

Cat's Eyes - Face in the Crowd

I'm so gutted I missed these when they supported The Kills the other week, I could hear them from the queue for the cash point though and they sounded immense. Here's their video for Face in the Crowd - someone was going MENTAL with the effects on this, stonking.
