"i sometimes get this strange and uncontrollable urge to go home"

i had the great opportunity last week to see this wonderful film with a couple of friends at the palais. i've been anticipating seeing this on a big screen for some time, and while i knew it would be good, it was magical. from the breathtaking landscapes, chilling sounds, rad knitted sweaters to band members' children running into sets, and everyone just casually being totally cool with it, this totally has my heart.

please, watch it. if anything, you'll be convinced to visit iceland.

ran into my linguistics lecturer outside and we both agreed a cycling tour would be the way to go in iceland. 

i tell you what you already know

here i go

i tell you what you already know

if you love me

with all of your heart

if you love me

i'll make you a star in my universe

you'll never have to go to work

you spend every day

shining your light my way

new music from angus & julia stone is gold. pure beauty.

This Icelandic bombshell has been dominating my itunes-recently-played list as of late, so I thought I'd share. Her music is pretty chilled out and fun, and I just like her quirky style and uniqueness. I know, doesn't describe her music whatsoever but this is just what I'm feeling from her. 'Birds' is the first song I heard, and I love it.

Actually, I've noticed that my artist choices have shifted to mostly to female indie singer/songwriters. No idea how that's come about, I've never been the feminist or feminine type of and must say that the majority of my favourite bands/artists are male.

I'm not sure if this post makes much sense or has much point to it, it's late and I just finished a 12 hour shift.

Summary: listen to Emiliana Torrini & enjoy good music. Goodnight.

Just sharing the love..

If not familiar with Bon Iver already, please do yourself the favour of listening to them immediately. You will thank yourself.

When and why did I ever stop listening to The Shins on a regular basis? If you are not familiar with this band, I suggest you check them out immediately.
I have a few favourite tracks, but currently I can't stop listening to 'Sleeping Lessons'.
Love.
