The Wombats

 So here's one of those favourite bands I mentioned but hadn't shared yet. That's all.

Morrissey

I had to chase my dad around the house with my phone playing this song today because he said he hated Morrissey and The Smiths were bearable. Sorry I just felt the need to vent that out here. 
Can't get the original on my phone so it's a demo. Still good though.

Johnny Cash

God, fate or whatever you wanna call it has been sending me signs and telling me "Lola, you've forgotten about Johnny Cash" 
His version of Hurt came on the radio yesterday, and just as it always does it nearly made me cry. Everything about that song is so emotional but because it's not an obviously "emo" song when you listen block out everything but his voice and the lyrics it's so powerful. Then when I got home I saw this on Instagram. 
 
And today I walked into a shop and while I was in the queue to pay Walk the Line came on and I had to dance. Luckily I was with a friend so it was a bit more socially acceptable so I'll take this as a sign that now I must honour Johnny Cash. Took me ages to pick a song and I suggest you listen to all the ones I mentioned including this.
Now get up and dance. You know you want to.

Bowie

 So I got a few treats from the Bowie exhibition at the V&A, it's really good and I recommend you get there in the morning and get tickets if you're in London. You'll probably queue for a bit longer than you'd like but it's bearable an it's worth it! 
Been playing Starman basically all day from the songbook. Guess what today's song is…

DADALADAAA

Another late night/early morning post. I was watching a really good film, The Angels Share. The actors are amazing, the story is great, it ticks all the boxes. I heard it was good but damn I wasn't expecting to like it this much. One of the songs from the soundtrack, screw you if you don't like this song. Can't help but smile and sing along. 
Also I posted something a couple of days ago when there was no post because it didn't work so I tried reposting today… hoping it works today

Legends

Ok so I know technically I forgot to post but I'm not asleep an in other countries it's still the 26th of July so I'm gonna count this as a post on Friday. Anyway it was both Mick Jagger's and Roger Taylor's, both members of legendary bands I love, birthdays so I'm posting a Queen song purely because I've already posted a Rolling Stones one but not Queen.

Two in One

 Today marks two huge days, the first is 22 years of Oasis and the second is two years since the death of Amy Winehouse. I couldn't choose whose song I wanted to post today so here's both. The first is one of Amy's many sad songs as we mourn the death of an extremely talented but troubled singer, but the second... well, the second is Live Forever. I think you get it.
