SUMMER

When the good weather takes a turn for the worst, you need a little summer music as a remedy to cure them blues...

 

Yurrr an' also...

'@charlottehazell' you know what to do

Mass blogger neglecter

When it comes to updating the blog, as of late I've been POOR. From January the schedule has been wracked with University deadlines but a couple of weeks ago i was blessed with freedom and I spent a solid 14 days/nights celebrating that freedom. Yesterday (Sunday 27th May) I officially moved out of Cheltenham for good and moved back home, rank. The silver lining is, that whilst I eagerly await those dreaded degree results, I have time to plan what will hopefully be a manic summer and I can finally get back into the routine of blogging. As a typical student, throughout the duration of uni I've been pretty restricted with funds and rinsed by nights out so I've not been able to get involved with absolutely everything I would've liked to...this summer I am EAGER to make up for lost time, and I plan to pretty much dedicate my entire summer to music. Whereas the previous year I made it to three festivals (Isle of Wight, Wakestock and V), last year I didn't make it to any which HURT. This year I'm attracted to Beach Break, Wireless, Benicassim, Global Gathering, and Bestival...I'm tempted to get involved with something a little lower key too. Even though this will already damage the purse strings I'm wanting to stretch my summer ideas even further and plan on attending as many gigs as possible, as well as copious visits to London - a place that I've neglected for far too long, and perhaps a holiday? Ibiza is at the top of the to do list. We can only dream.

In the mean time I've been lounging out in the garden catching some rays and I'm in the middle of creating a bit of a summer playlist, here's the tracklist so far;

Benga Ft. Bebe Black - Icon

Jammer Ft Viper - Big Man

Sway - Level Up

Rude Kid feat Skepta - Get Busy

Mac Miller - Frick Park Market

Netksy - Everyday

Leviticus - Burial

Danny Byrd Ft. Liquid - Sweet Harmony

B. Traits - Fever (Breakage Remix)

Sub Focus feat Alice Gold - Out The Blue

Nas - The Don (Hot City Hype Remix)

Friendly Fires - Blue Cassette (Tiga Remix)

Jessie Ware - 110 Percent

Nicki Minaj - Come on a Cone
Kanye West feat Big Sean, Pusha T & 2 Chainz - Mercy

Maxwell D - Gone Away (Jamie XX Remix)

IYA summer 2012

I've just been having a browse through my past posts, and as tempted as I am to create an entire new blog this summer due to the scatty, and at times cringe worthy, posts (I started this thing when I was 17 years old, can you blame!?) I've decided to keep going with this blog and hit it hard during the summer. This is purely down to  the fact that a lot of my posts consist of song recommendations etc, some of which are still decent tracks and some of you might be interested in trekking through past blog posts to unveil some nifty little pieces I've shared on here in the past.

I'll jazz this place up this summer, promise!

Peace x
