Here comes the sun...



The weather these past few days has been GORGEOUS - I spent a substantial proportion of last week's "studying" procrastinating by making the most awesome Summer playlist ever. Every year I do one half-heartedly, but this year I'm determined to get it down. Here's a couple of must-haves, more to come soon.

Groove Armada - Down at the River [youtube]

'If you're fond of sand dunes and salty air' - is there a more summery refrain than that? I think not. Perfect beach bliss.

Bell XI - Rocky Took a Lover (alt link) [both youtube]

This is a classic example of a good song made great by the addition of sunshine. Those shimmery harps and twinkling bells are simply gorgeous come summer time.

Almost there?


It's 11.08pm. I arrived at the library at 8.50am. I'm still here. FML.

Luckily, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel (End of finals! Graduation! London!) but for now, I'm knackered.

Simian Mobile Disco - Sleep Deprivation

DJ Shadow - Midnight in a Perfect World

Azure Ray - Sleep

(Sorry about the crappy youtube links. I hate having to do this for such great songs but I don't have the time/energy/decent web connection to upload the mp3s.)

Last Night a DJ Saved My Life...




... I wish. Instead I'm stuck studying. Oh well. Here's what I would have wanted to hear:

The Kills - Cheap and Cheerful (SebastiAn remix)

MGMT - Kids (Soulwax Remix)

Milke - Love Get Out of My Way (DESIGNER DRUGS remix)

A-Ha - Take on Me (Twelves Remix)

Justice vs. Kevin Rudolf - Just Let Us Rock (DJ BRAKE mashup)
