the smiths: i started something i couldn't finish

Stop me, uh uh oh stop me, stop me before I go and do something rather stupid...

coldplay: every teardrop is a waterfall

A rather boring video, a rather incredible song.

I have a feeling I'm going to fall in love with Coldplay all over again. After the full-blown romance with  Viva La Vida, (perhaps a forgotten lover of mine now... I may go dust it off), this song, despite its more electronic-sounds, has just started my infatuation again.

Jumping around the sunny kitchen to this.

daughter: bbc radio 6 music session

Caught Daughter's live session on BBC Radio 6 Music today, and it really brought a smile to my face being able to hear the voice know who was behind the beautiful music. And what a voice. Playing "Landfill" and "Candles" live, I had to put down my cheese-on-toast and just listen.  You can hear the session here (although it will only be available until 7th June), or listen to the two above videos taken from Daughter's YouTube.

And then download her free four-track "Demos EP" here. 

And then buy her album "His Young Heart" on Bandcamp here. 

And then love.

belle and sebastian: the blues are still blue

It's a Belle & Sebastian kinda day.

emmy the great: iris

For the "Princesses of Impermanence".

Okay so, this song/video/lovely lady has pinpointed my dilemma exactly. Sometimes it's better to appreciate all the little things than strive for tomorrow's gifts. (Enough of the wisdom already, I just know you're all sighing. Okay.) Such a cutesy song, a brilliant first single from Emmy's second album entitled "Virtue". I'm so so tempted to pre-order it, before it's release on the 13th June. Hmm. I think I can wait that long...

Visit her website here and have a gander.

P.S. Listen her album, Virtue, on the Guardian's website here.
Also accompanied by a guide to each song. Listen. Love.
