Asthma Attack



New single by the wonderful up and coming CockNBullKid. It's great! It's bright, catchy, her voice is sweet, and you'll just want to run through the streets singing it all day long. Plus, it's about London. And I simply cannot turn up the oppurtunity to fall in love with a song about my favorite city, can I?

Birdy's 'Skinny Love' Cover

No doubt if you live in the UK, you'll have heard this song by now, but I figured I might as well post it for everyone else.



This is Birdy, AKA Jasmine Van den Bogaerde. She just turned 15. This cover of Bon Iver's brilliantly haunting song Skinny Love has skyrocketed her to the top of the UK charts in the last month or so. Admittedly, the music side of the cover's not brilliant or anything, but considering her age, I'd say it's quite impressive. Plus, there's no denying her astonishing voice. And I normally pay very little attention to the singer's voice, when it comes to music.

Of course, she has nothing on Bon Iver but at least, if nothing else, she's introduced an awful lot of people (myself included) to this fantastic song.

Lights by Max Tundra



I've been listening to a lot of Manchester Orchestra and Arctic Monkeys at the moment, but this is a nice relief from all that angst. Max Tundra's music is catchy, interesting, and endearingly strange.

Antlers Album Out In A Week.

While this may not be at the calibre of Hospice, their 2008 album and my all-time favorite album, I've got to say the new song is absolutely brilliant.

Manchester Orchestra - Virgin



Oh, the new Manchester Orchestra song is so, so good. I love Manchester Orchestra. It sounds angry, which is interesting, because when most people want to achieve anger in music, they start screaming. Manchester Orchestra do it with angsty lyrics, slow beats, and almost gritty guitars.

Cannot wait for the new album.
