This week I will be mostly listening to... FLEETWOOD MAC!

Myself and two guy friends have just formed a band and got together the other night to practise. This is all very new and we're just starting to get used to each other's skills (in my case - lack of ANY skills), likes, dislikes, sound, etc so we just tried a couple of covers as a bit of an experiment.

And I came across this band in my Dad's record collection. Yes, of course I've heard of them before, but my parents are massive F.M. fans and so, unsurprisingly, I wasn't going to be naturally enthusiastic about them! But they really are incredible. Inspired lyrics, really catchy riffs and an original style helped to make the band the success they were and still are today. Check out Stevie Nicks's hair in this video...it is almost as impressive as the song! Enjoy!

Laura Marling

Sometimes I can work to music and sometimes I have to have total silence. Nevertheless, even if I am in the latter mood, I can still work happily to Laura Marling.

I was introduced to her album 'Alas I cannot swim' last year by my (much cooler) friend and co-host of our student radio show and I was immediately mesmerized. Every single song is beautifully composed with what I can only describe as a chilling edge. She has the ability to make a really complex chord pattern sound so simple. Her voice is uniquely wonderful.

This morning, I woke up singing the chorus to this song and I knew I'd have to listen to her album during this morning's writing session. Enjoy! xxx

Guilty Pleasure Song of the Week

I hated them on the X Factor, but this song is so infectious. I can't get it out of my head. The video is just terrible! Reminds me of 5ive or HearSay or someone. Terrible video, terrible song... SO WHY DO I LIKE IT?! Answers on a postcard.

Song of the week...

I've been humming this for the last few days. Ultimate getting-ready-to-go-out song of the summer!
