This past week has been really hectic for me - I have all my assessed essays due in on Wednesday so I've been working really hard to get them done. Such is my life that it seemed appropriate that I found some decent study-buddies - in the form of some great music.
Belle & Sebastian - Wrapped Up In Books [youtube]
This Belle & Sebastian track came up on shuffle yesterday, and it seemed so appropriate as I was sitting, literally, surrounded by books and papers and notes...
Camera Obscura - French Navy [youtube]
I defy you to not be entranced/ensnared by this new Camera Obscura song. It's pretty much in the same ilk as Belle & Sebastian; the first line is so catchy and beautiful: 'Spent a week in a dusty library/waiting for some words to jump at me'. I think it helps that I think libraries are essentially romantic places... I know that this is a little strange! Camera Obscura's new album, My Maudlin Career is out now.

The Notwist - Good Lies [hypem]
This song is perfect to study to - wistful, soft, but also reminding you that there's something else outside of books, that this is just pretend life. Real life is, I guess, waiting for me in 3 months time.

Because, really, if this post has achieved nothing else, it's shown that I am a massive nerd! Maybe I can find a nerd boy in the library...
