Playlist | Time Out

Time Out from aroseandapeony on 8tracks Radio.

Hi lovelies! I've been flat out with assignments and uni in general at the moment. So I've really been relying on some chilled out music to get me to sleep at the end of a long day. This is just a combination of the artists I've been tuning in to recently. 

The photo's from a more relaxing time too, last year at Woodford Folk Fest, can't wait to head back there soon.

Happy weekend!

Playlist | Warm Chills

Warm Chills from aroseandapeony on 8tracks Radio.

The cold seems to be settling down here in Brisbane. Nights are chilly and best spent with tea and blankets. These are the current tunes warming my heart and soul when nothing can warm my toes and nose. 

Happy Wednesday!

Playlist | Future Feels

Future Feels from aroseandapeony on 8tracks Radio.

The weather is getting cooler and I can't stop listening to smooth future soul (thank you Rhianna for my introduction to this genre). So much bass and so much soul has been responsible for soothing me for the last few months. 

Hope you enjoy these tunes as much as me.

Playlist | Hottest 100 Vote 2013

Triple J Hottest 100 2013 from aroseandapeony on 8tracks Radio.

A fairly common thing to partake in once a year is voting in the Triple J (our nation's youth radio station) Hottest 100. I did a playlist of my votes last year and thought that I would once again share with your my favourite songs for the year. The countdown happens every year on Australia Day (today, January 26) and I discovered that some of my favourite songs made it and some of them didn't. For me, its is generally at least half of my favourite tunes that make it into the nations favourites. 

I hope you like my most enjoyed tunes of the year and please share yours with me below.

Playlist | Billy Kirkpatrick

Similar to Jess' last playlist, I've been indulging in some more soothing folk tunes in the last month or so. After a hectic year and festival season there is nothing nicer than chilling out with a good book and slow beats. This is a selection of music partly discovered at Woodford and some of whom I have loved a long time. A lot of them are home grown artists and two  of them hail from across the pond; Scotland and Canada. 

Sit back, sip some tea and enjoy!

Playlist | If You Keep Losing Sleep

If You Keep Losing Sleep... from aroseandapeony on 8tracks Radio.

Hi lovelies! Unfortunately I have always been a person who struggles to switch off at the end of the day. Over the years drifting off to music had become a habit of mine and I thought I would share some of my favourite sleep inducing songs.

Playlist | Collision of Atoms

Collision of Atoms from aroseandapeony on 8tracks Radio.

Just a quick playlist from me today. These are the some of the beats I've been listening to lately. I came to the Spotify party pretty darn late which is a shame because it is truly amazing. After working out that I was a bit obsessed with Lorde, this brilliant program has been suggesting some of these tunes and expanding my music tastes which were in a bit of Lorde shaped rut. My most favourite of these musicians is Noosa who we think sounds like a combination of Adele and Lana Del Rey with their sensual husky tones. 

Feed Me Diamonds - MNDR

Bravado - Lorde (Hippie Sabotage Remix)

Fear of Love- Noosa

I am the Lion King - PAPA

I Go Away - MNDR

So Fast, So Maybe - K.Flay

You Are a Tourist (Hip Hop Remix) - Chance Waters x Death Cab for Cutie

Waves - Jhameel

Satellites - CATCALL

Walk on By - Noosa

As we approach summer and the holiday season I am getting more and more keen to make playlists. I think its because my brain can't stop thinking about all the fun times ahead and making soundtracks in anticipation. 

Anyway, I hope you're having a fabulous weekend. Jess has been partying hard at the beach so we should be incredibly jealous of her, I know I am.

Playlist | Cures

Cures from aroseandapeony on 8tracks Radio.

Yes, I have jumped on the Lorde bandwagon and can't stop listening to Pure Heroin. Its been gracing my ears with beauty almost continuously since it was released. I restrained myself from putting more of it in this playlist but be sure I will probably put one of her songs in every playlist I make for the rest of forever. I was also recently introduced to The Kite String Tangle; a great guy from Brisbane making some very catchy chilled out beats.

This playlist's main purpose (aside from being a collection of great tunes) was to aid my recovery from Saturday night shenanigans. 

Lorde - Still Sane

Portishead - Sour times

The Kite String Tangle (covering Lorde) - Tennis Courts

Bat For Lashes - Laura

Lana Del Rey - Young and Beautiful

Regina Spektor - Hotel Song

Bat For Lashes - Daniel (Mt. Eden Remix)

Chet Faker - I'm Into You

Active Child - Playing House

The Kite String Tangle - Given The Chance

So if you're in need of some soothing tunes to get you through a hangover perhaps this will do the trick.

Happy Sunday lovers,

Erin xx

Playlist | Summer Sounds

Summer Sounds from aroseandapeony on 8tracks Radio.

Hi lovelies! Whenever the weather changes I always find putting a playlist really gets in the mood for the coming seasons. Here's some tracks I've been loving lately and wanted to share with all of you. 

Aluna George, I have developed a recent obsession with this London-based duo. Their entire album is very cruisey and easy to listen to. I think pretty much everyone I know is obsessed with Disclosure's album 'Settle'. I'm seeing both bands at Listen Out festival in a few weeks and I have very high hopes.

Playlist | Fronts Like These

Fronts Like These from aroseandapeony on 8tracks Radio.

I find that music really helps get me through the cold fronts that brace beautiful Brisbane at this time of the year. I see a lot less live music, probably because it's much to cold to go out but I seem to have the highest quantity of new and old tunes streaming through my headphones. I go to music for comfort and memories as well as for something to make me feel less like a cold blooded animal unable to move without sunshine. 


I've put together this playlist of songs that have helped me get going in the last few weeks. Some of them are new tunes and some are older (not by much) and well loved. 

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...

Under Pressure...

Erin is lucky enough to have completed her university education and I am the lucky duck who gets to tough it out for another four-ish years. Needless to say after two years I am well accustomed to the stress of mid-semester assignments. 

I have been a very busy bee of late and my head is swimming with legal mumbo-jumbo and  various musical terms ...the perils of a double degree. It's my turn to post today, but I felt it might be a bit much to post an outfit of the day in my pyjamas. I couldn't even muster the energy to create an outfit (read couldn't be bothered with washing my hair)

So I have made a short playlist to take a study break with. I haven't talked much on here about my love of music. It is a huge part of my life and what I listen to is largely dictated by my moods. This mix is designed to block out the stress and let my mind be still for a minute or two. It's a bit of a mish mash when it comes to genres, but give them all a shot you may be pleasantly surprised.
