All the Playlists

Blurry Nights – Hayden

30 April 2018

Hayden’s 2013 album, Us Alone, is one of my go-to rainy day albums. It’s the musical equivalent of a warm blanket and a hot drink when it’s storming outside. The tone of the album runs the gamut from gentle and quiet to poppy, and the overall result is devastatingly beautiful.

Follow The Sun – Xavier Rudd

30 April 2018

I feel in between.  I try to articulate my in between feeling from heart to pen to paper.  Enough words come, out and in the words I ask for inspiration, a way for me to express all the joy and love I hold in my heart.  I can feel it more and more, looking for a way out.

Smells Like Teen Spirit – Patti Smith

30 April 2018

I’m throwing you a bone from the 90’s this week. Well – not exactly!  Delivered by the fore-mother of cool Patti Smith – and written by the late Kurt Cobain as you all would know.

Eden – Turtle Skull

30 April 2018

“A lovely, floaty psych rock track. A wall of fuzzed out riffs cascading against a lysergic sky, while dreamy, psych-pop vocals float over the void.“

What A Wonderful World – Louis Armstrong

30 April 2018

You know when you’re full to the brim – when your emotions are so high you can barely hold them back and you’re struggling to keep yourself composed?  For me it’s never a sad song that breaks the dam – it’s always a happy one – and this track is the worst!

Falling to Believe – Doug Tuttle

30 April 2018

Sometimes we need a break, a break from work, school, the internet or even a relationship. Our bonds can strengthen when we are deprived and we can look at our lives in a new light. Doug Tuttle keeps this song so simple for one reason, because life is simple…

Confident In Your Strength – Becky Green

30 April 2018

Wonderful piano patterns, mixed up with a celestial voice and a little electronic pads. Great track to take your soul even higher then the plane you’re sitting in.

Body – Class Jordan

30 April 2018

This song is a subtle pulse, like the feeling of a song from outside the club you’re waiting to get into. This is the gaze of a stranger who wants your attention, the sway of her hips, the way her eyes don’t leave your lips. This song is smooth and cold, a couple shots too many, the spin of the exit sign as you leave with the girl who’s had her eyes on you…

Eyes On You – Millie Turner

30 April 2018

Definitivamente las mujeres son el Top de éste playlist, lo gracioso
es que cada día descubro a grandiosos temas que ya no se cual elegir
para la semana, pero bueno les platicaré sobre una chica Londinense de
17 años que está enloqueciendo a todos con su música, ella es Millie
Turner…

24K Magic – Bruno Mars

30 April 2018

And here we have little MJ’s prospect. Amazing talents on almost everything, Top 40’s machine (he lives on those charts), make you feel there’s still a chance on pop music and of course does a lot of what the king used to do which is completely respectable.

312 – DJ R3dline

30 April 2018

This week’s track comes from DJ/Producer DJ R3dline. The single is called 312. DJ R3dline has played music festivals such as EDC Orlando, Lollapalooza, Riot Fest and Outside Lands.

Part 22 – Given Circumstances

30 April 2018

September 1978. Year two.

On the last day of the summer holiday, I’m whistling along to the radio; the Beach Boys, “Wouldn’t It Be Nice?”; a throwback to naive school days, when the phone rings at home. ‘Hello?’

‘Och. Is that Mister Hopebourne?’ A broad male Scots accent.

‘Speaking.’

‘Och. The school secretary gave me your number. I believe we’re sharing a house together at Fitzrovia.’

Are we? We talk briefly before he brings the conversation to a halt. ‘Och. Let’s get together over a beer tomorrow.’ A short silence. ‘You do drink don’t you?’
