summer songs

Even though Summer isn't over just yet, I though I would do a post that includes some of the songs that I've been loving and listening to so far.

Tiny Vessels - Death Cab For Cutie

Death Cab For Cutie are my favourite band and Tom and I listened to them a lot on our holiday. This song is one of my favourites by them.

Closing Time - Semisonic

When I was in Cuba the television in our room only had a few channels that were in our language and one of them showed the film Friends With Benefits every so often and this song is featured in it. It's so catchy!

The Man's Machine - Jamie T

I've always kinds of overlooked this song when listening to the album that it's from but I've really been enjoying it over the past few weeks. I saw Jamie T play in Birmingham a year or so ago and I would love to see him again.

Call Your Girlfriend - Erato

This cover of Robyn's song is just AMAZING! I have tried to convince Tom to try and learn it with some empty tubs of Clover but he pretty much refused. 

Isabel - Frank Turner

I am absolutely gutted that I wasn't able to get tickets to see Frank Turner when he plays in Liverpool later this year, but at the time Tom was unsure as to whether he would be studying in Copenhagen or not so we decided to just wait and before we knew it they had sold out of tickets everywhere. Hopefully we'll be able to snag some last minute from somewhere.

Give these songs a listen, they're great!!!

summer jam

The last time I wrote a post on here was nearly two months ago! I've been really busy with exams and such at University so I guess I've just not had the time. My last exam is tomorrow (roll on 4:30pm!!) and I thought I'd take a quick break from revision to write about what I got up to at the weekend.
On Saturday morning Tom and I got on a ridiculously early train to Leeds to go to Slam Dunk Festival. It was all worth it though as we had such an amazing day. Tom's friend very kindly let us stay at his house for the weekend and after we dropped our bags off there we had a few drinks and something to eat at Hyde Park. We arrived at the Uni just in time for me to go and see one of my favourite bands in the whole entire world, Say Anything. They were just brilliant and I cannot wait to hopefully see them again one day. The rest of the day consisted of grabbing pints of cider, seeing bands, and sitting outside when we could as the weather was just so nice. In the evening we saw Set Your Goals, Capdown, and Gallows. Gallows were just great. After the gig we made our way to another one of Tom's friends who is studying in Leeds and we spent the rest of the night in his flat playing Trivial Pursuit, drinking Kopparberg, and ordering pizza.
It was a great weekend and a perfect break from revising national cinema!

my favourite songs at the moment

                                    

I've been listening to these songs an awful lot at the moment. I bought tickets to see Bombay Bicycle Club this morning and I am very much looking forward to seeing them! I saw them at Glastonbury on the Sunday and really enjoyed them so it'll be great to see them again, I can't imagine the weather will be as wonderful as it was then though!
