Playlist | Get Up!

Get Up! from aroseandapeony on 8tracks Radio.

It's been a while but I have a new playlist for you today. Recently, (since Jess thankfully forced the music upon me) I have been getting into The Great Gatsby soundtrack and Daft Punk's new album Random Access Memories. This playlist includes a selection of my favourites from those two albums intertwined with some other songs that I love to listen to when getting ready for a night out or even in the morning before work to pump me up for the day. 

They range in genre a little and may seem like a strange collection. I think a common theme that runs through the lot of them is that I can sing along. I find that to be a very important component in music for a night out (or pre-drinking). I love to sing so anything that makes me feel good about myself and my voice will get me feeling happy and in the mood for socialising. Click 'read more' to get the track listing...

May | The Top Five

So as another month draws to a close I have another top five for you guys. If you want to read about the concept behind the post then you can see the original here. 

Let's get straight into them...

Music: Daft Punk 'Random Access Memories'

No surprises here. Like just about everyone else in the world I am in love with their latest album. I thought departing from their usual sample-filled style was a really bold move by them with electronic music today being so sample driven. It totally paid off though and showcases them as musicians. There was a fantastic interview by Pitchfork that's really interesting read (link here). In case you're craving Daft Punk as much as I am they've announced that they will be remixing the entire album and releasing it later on this year. 

Gadget: Canon EOS 60D

For my birthday last month I got a very exciting new toy. A Canon! I am so excited to learn everything about this little baby and take some awesome photos for this internet space. Erin can confirm I have been reading a ridiculous number of photography blogs, I have been using it to procrastinate from revising for exams.
