Stuck in my head – Dolly Parton

Work has been hectic this week. In a really good way. I enjoy my job and am constantly grateful that I was given this opportunity.

But it doesn’t stop me from singing a little Dolly from time to time.
That girl had pipes!!!

Stuck in my head – The Kills

I’ve had the pleasure of seeing these guys twice now.
Their live energy is always awesome, even if they do always focus on their new stuff. Their new stuff is always pretty awesome anyway.

I still miss these guys and wish they were still together.
And this song makes a great ringtone.

Stuck in my head – The Shins – Simple Song

Well I’ve been baking up a storm, knitting up some socks, and working really hard at my new job.

But I’m still listening to music and picking out my favourites.

Love this song. And am definitely hoping they’ll come to Perth later this year. They’re very high on my ‘must see’ list.

Enjoy.

Stuck in my head – Jon English

Allow me to get nostalgic for a minute.
I’m going to go see Jon English on Saturday! I saw him 5? years ago when he played in the Pirates of Penzance (my all time favourite musical), but I’ve never seen him as a musician.

I fell in love with the Jon English version of Pirates of Penzance when I was quite young. I borrowed it from the library countless times until the VHS was broken. I now have it on DVD and I still sing and dance along like I did when I was a kid.
I still have a crush on the back up pirate with the red shirt, which is probably appropriate now as we may just be the same age instead of me being 12 and him being much older.

But enough about pirates, this is one of my favourite love songs. Don’t ask me what’s going on in the video, but Jon English is cute and young and his hair is better than mine.

Stuck in my head – The Drums

I had a wonderful time at southbound. I will tell you all about it soon, but one of the best things was chilling out on the Sunday morning listening to The Drums on the stereo because I was singing this song all weekend

Stuck in my head – Grouplove

One of my blogging resolutions this year, and one of my strategies to maintaining this little blog’o’mine is a schedule.
I’m still working out the detail but one thing I didn’t like about last year was how music got left behind (which is funny as it used to be Musicfoodlife – music being high on the agenda).
So every Wednesday or hump day, to get me through the week, I’ll share a song.
Something to keep me going, or that’s been stuck in my head.

Music is such a massive part of my day, and even more so on a Wednesday.

So song number one for the year is by Grouplove.
A band I’ll be seeing at Southbound this weekend!!!
It’s catchy and poppy and all kinds of fun with a creepy creepy video clip. Enjoy!
