Recommendations: May 2013
A large percent of this is cheesy pop music, not even ashamed.
"Wasting My Young Years" - London Grammar
I'm definitely developing a soft spot for soft, rattly percussion, and my love for this song is probably related greatly to how much the lead singer of London Grammar sounds like Daughter. It's such a grower, sounding so soft and mature and beautiful when you first hear it, but with each listen its dynamics are more and more noticeable.
"Tuesdays with Morrie" - Mitch Albom
Albom met with his favourite college professor, Morrie Schwarz, each Tuesday at the side of his death bed for the professor's final class. The subject: the meaning of life. I have a couple of draft posts about this book (mostly written in the middle of the night on a crazy thought-rollercoaster) but it's definitely made me want to change the way I think. "The Five People You Meet in Heaven" is another great one of his.
"Get Lucky" - Daft Punk
As if you haven't heard this song already, except I couldn't go without mentioning it; I caught Daft Punk fever after Radio 1 started playing it the moment I woke up each morning. This is the biggest, bestest shamelessly disco number that I've heard in years. It's already the song of the summer.
"Closer" - Tegan and Sara
This song is definitely one to sing along to drunk, is full of love and has me dancing - an explosion of synths, and keyboards.
Medium (x)
Medium is a new social network - I guess it's Twitter without the character limited, but much more chatty and fleeting than most blogging platforms, and I'm still getting to grips with using the site, it definitely has a lot of growing space.
