Alright, its got quiet again, regretably. But i've been horribly busy, up and down to London, travelling across the county for party after gig after party. So, armed with a new bag, big enough for my laptop, and some incredible music twisting around my head, I'm back with energy.

Firstly, I'd love to share a track I discovered the other night when the new album from ex-Concretes front woman Victoria Bergsman finally landed in my CD player. Its a slow beating romance of a song, gently luring you in to a hazy and warm world, with Victoria's trademark lush vocals drapping over the track like a comfortingly soft woolen blanket. Truly incredible stuff, which the rest of the album doesn't fail to live up to. A gorgeous break from the hussle and bustle of the last few weeks. "We rarely speak, but I think of you a lot".

Secondly, I have a very short song by Jeremy Warmsley, taken from a compilation album of songs, all under a minute long. Its called The Boy Who Cried Love, and its lovely. A short description for a short song!

Lastly, I have a fantastic song by a guy called Loyal Trooper. This is a demo version of a single which is being released through This Is Fake DIY later in the summer. Its a spoken word song, in the style of Jamie T I guess. All full of punchy beats and cherrfully strummed guitars. Energetic enjoyable stuff for a (hopefully) sunny summer day.

And there we have it, a few nice songs to enjoy. Its getting dark, so I'm going to walk home and listen to Belle & Sebastian. Ah, its a good life...
