Hello there lovely people, as the weather is better (for a few days at least) I thought I'd go through a few bits that I'm obsessing over at the moment. If you've been listening to me for a while, you'll know that along with my folky/singer songwriter stuff, I like a mixed bag - so here we go. Variety is the spice of life isn't it.

Alt-J - An Awesome Wave

Give this a try if you want something thoughtful and a bit different. I love an album that I can get a bit pensive with - this is perfect for that. If you like Wild Beasts and bands like Everything Everything (even a bit of Maccabees/Foals in a way) then go for this. Sounds lovely in the sun too. A good holiday album. The best track for me is 'Taro'. A beaut.

Maybe listen to this album whilst on holiday here:

Flo Rida - Whistle

I have a love-hate thing going on with this chap. I always think I'll hate his songs because the music snob in me tries to come out but I end up loving them. It's a weird one. I probably wouldn't listen to his albums but his singles are ridiculously big and in the right atmosphere (ie. drunk) - perfect pop dance stuff. No room for snobbery here. It does the job so well. I also think me and him should go for a lads night out and walk into a cluuuuub exclaming: 'So many girls in here, where do I begin...'

Porter Robinson - Language

Talented 19 year old DJ/Producer called Porter Robinson has created a huge summer hands in the air anthem. Can't stop playing this at home at the moment and you might recognise it as the music I use at the start of every show.
