So, every now and then I try and implement a weekly something-or-other, and my latest attempt starting this week is going to be my weekly playlist - namely, the songs that I have been listening to this week, in an attempt to share my music taste with you all. I'll link to the songs on Youtube in the song titles, and I hope you discover something new that you love/rediscover something you'd forgotten about!
Songs will be new or old, it entirely depends what I've been listening to. So here goes, Episode #1 of the Playlist.
- Hearts Alive by Mastodon (from the 2004 album Leviathan)
- Can You Feel My Heart by Bring Me The Horizon (Sempiternal out April 29)
- Secular Haze by Ghost (Infestissumam out April 9)
- Concealing Fate Part 2: Deception by TesseracT (from 2010 EP Concealing Fate)
- Follow Me (Live from the O2 Arena) by Muse (from 2012's The 2nd Law - live version download link)
- Great Expectations by The Gaslight Anthem (from 2008's The '59 Sound)
- Boys Don't Cry by The Cure (from 1980's Boys Don't Cry)
- Bruane Brenn by Kvelertak (Meir out March 25)
- Where Are We Now? by David Bowie (The Next Day out March 11)
- David De La Hoz by The Chariot (from 2010's Long Live)
But because I'm nice to you (too nice, probably. I don't know on what basis though), I made a Youtube playlist of all the above which you can find here. Enjoy!
It's that time again kids. The K! Awards are upon us, and this is who I'd like to see scoop the awards (although I know some won't come close)
