Christmas Spirit...

Now I'm not the biggest fan of Christmas carols, and after spending too much time in shopping centers leading up to Christmas the allure of a good christmas carol is totally ruined for me in a matter of seconds. There is however one Christmas song that is just so cool and sexy that even the biggest grinch can't help but fall in love!

MERRY CHRISTMAS! 

Groovy, hip...I dig it!

Today I have a tasty treat for anyone in the mood for a 60's brit/surf rock beat. Sydney band Deep Sea Arcade has managed to capture a sound from another time with their unique charm, try not to feel great while listening to these catchy tunes...

 It's a Gas!!!!!!
(just had to throw another one in there, couldn't help myself!)

Got you covered!

I love a good cover and today I'm listening to a few of my favourites. Was really hard to choose just three so watch this space I'll be posting more great covers when the mood is right!

Wild Horses original - The Rolling Stones

Nothing Compares To You original - The Family (written by Prince)

Romeo and Juliet original - Dire Straits

In the mood for gold...

Today my ears were drawn to a few golden hits from the 60's and when I went onto You Tube to find this first song I found such a great live performance by the legend that is Ray Charles! Enjoy...

Classic 90's sad song...

Tired and a bit meh today but I have a great tune from the 90's, it's a song I'm sure so many people can relate to - wanting someone who stuffed you around. You really know you shouldn't want to be with them anymore, but logic really doesn't mean a lot when you care about someone so much - foolish loyalty.

Friday fun...

Friday is here and in true friday style I need a cool tune to get me in the mood for a bit of fun. Can't go past this song, really cool beat and sound...makes me want to dance!

Feeling some alternative rock

Todays mood: happy and content! Just the right mood for some feel good alternative rock.

Getting through wednesday...

Wednesdays are just generally pretty tough so today I'm lifting my spirits with a few fun oldies!

Just beautiful.

Today I have been listening to a few truly beautiful songs sung by amazingly talented women, so easy to get lost in. Enjoy!

hungover...

So it was a such huge weekend for me starting with a friends farewell on friday night which ended with my friend and I at a local club dancing with a group of professional cage fighters - what the? Then I had to back up with an even bigger night on Saturday at my friends house warming party which ended in a 3am swim at nearby Bronte beach. Needless to say yesterday was tough, and today even tougher seeing I'm slugging away at work. Which brings me to my song of the day...

Kid Cudi - Pursuit Of Happiness ft. MGMT

A lil' fun for friday

Friday is finally here and if your looking for something fun to get you in the mood for going out tonight here's a classic Hip Hop tune from Skee-Lo... 

 "Hey, I wish I had my way 

  Cause everyday would be a Friday 

 You could even speed on the highway"

Skee-Lo- I Wish

Feeling good.

I'm in a great mood today and what better way to celebrate this great mood then with some fun tunes. If your not smiling then these should definitely help... Happy Thursday!

Take me back...

Today I'm being transported back in time by the intricate vocal harmonies of folk rock supergroup Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Déjà Vu has to be one of my favourite albums, so easy to listen to on those days you just want to escape all your worries! Here's two of my favourite songs off the album...

Can't get enough of...

Here's a few great songs I just can't get enough of. Easy listening type of tunes and all Australian home grown.

First When the Shine's Off by Sydney rockers I Am Apollo, this song is just so beautiful...

I Am Apollo - When the Shine's Off

Melbourne band Black Cab, this song has a great 70's retro feel... 

Black Cab - Black Angel

And from the Blue Mountains indie band Cloud Control... 

Cloud Control - There's Nothing In The Water We Can't Fight

Snap out of it...

Today I'm feeling a little lost and in desperate need of something to keep my spirits up so I don't drown in a bunch of depressing songs. Wilco to the rescue! This song is so cool and the happy-go-lucky melody always manages to bring a smile...

Wilco - Handshake Drugs

Ready for the silly season?

The silly season is about to begin, first up my work Christmas party! Now this morning I can't say I really woke up in the mood to celebrate but I have a few trusty tunes that I'm certain will get me there...

Empire State of Mind - Jay-Z | Alicia Keys

Yolanda Be Cool & DCUP - We No Speak Americano

Calvin Harris - Ready For The Weekend

Fun tunes for a rainy day

Today is the first day of summer and although it is raining and miserable I've got a few songs to keep me up beat and looking towards a brighter/sunnier tomorrow...or monday as the weather forecast would have it. Hope these tunes do it for you...whoever you are...is anybody out there? Enjoy.

I have just the tune...

It's raining again today and doesn't look like letting up anytime soon. Lucky I have a great tune to keep me going. This song has such an awesome beat to make you wanna move and Boy George's amazing vocals...even if your not the greatest fan of Boy George I don't see how you cannot like this song. I can't stop listening to it!
