Day 133 of 365

Wednesday 11/1/12

Good evening, how be you this fine day?

I am in a pretty good mood right now.

Feelin' fresh despite just getting in from another evening run.

Ran it a little bit faster tonight, stepping it up next week. 

I am glad I have a friend to accompany me on these late evening runs, makes it that much easier!

Anyway... hope you all liked my fitness post last night? 

Today, I am going to mix it up just a little bit more... 

Back to music.

Ahh sweet music.

So, Monday was payday and what was the first thing I did? 

Well, I bought a toothbrush but other than that, I got straight on the internet and booked some gig tickets.

One of the things I really want to do this year is attend as many live gigs as possible.

I am so stoked for March, I am going to the Civil Wars with my Dad at Shepherd Bush Empire down in London, I've always wanted to go to a gig there and who better to see! Now that's an exclusive, I have managed to keep it under wraps as it was a Christmas present from myself to my papa.

Soo... who else am I going to see?

The one and only Ben Howard, again, yes.

I cannot bloody wait.

And to top it all off, I managed to get tickets for hotly tipped soulful singer, Michael Kiwanuka. I have been a fan of his for a little while now and I am delighted that he's just won the BBC Sound of 2012. Following in the footsteps of female dominatrix winners of the past few years, including Ellie Goulding, Jessie J and Adele. All of which, I absolutely love and quite frankly, I cannot hear more of Michael in the following months. 


Also, the other artists to listen out for in 2012 are; Lana Del Rey, Lianne la Havas, Dry The River, Ren Harvieu and Niki & The Dove - you heard it here first, or maybe you didn't... :) 

So I thought I would include a fun little feature here.. for your ears only.

1. Band of Skulls - Bruises

2. M83 - Midnight City

3. Florence & The Machine - No Light, No Light

4. Sunday Girl - Where Is My Mind

5. The Black Keys - Lonely Boy

6. The Subways - It's A Party

7. The Civil Wars - C'est la Mort

8. Michael Kiwanuka - I Need You By My Side

9. James Vincent McMorrow - Higher Love

10. Yuck - Shook Down

My weeks playlist is 151 songs at present so I thought I'd select just 10, so as not to bore you immensely!

Hope you enjoy, ps. halfway there!

Partay time!
