Happy Listening: Video Games

Lana Del Rey has already stirred up quite the talk this year, both positive and negative, but I can’t help but find her music enchanting. I’m spellbound. I’ve also included an extra sweet cover by Bombay Bicycle Club. Enjoy!

Happy Listening: What Are You Doing New Years Eve?

Something wonderful to take you into the weekend. A delightful rendition by two of my favourite people… errr… celebrity crushes. Thank you Zooey and Joseph for making the end of the year so sweet.

If you have any last minute crafting or wrapping, I’ve complied a little holiday playlist to enjoy while you do. And I think you’ll find I saved the best song for last… hehe.

Happy Listening: Keep Me Warm

This song gives me chills… the good kind! The kind that make you tingle from head to toe, while at the same time warming your heart. Enjoy and stay warm!

Happy Listening: Hey Ya

I’m going to be a little short and sweet today. Still recovering from the long week and weekend of work. But since my work today revolves around music research, I figured I had to pause to write a happy listening post.

This cover of Hey Ya is a soft acoustic version by Mat Weddle (aka Obadiah Parker) that has had a hold on my heart for the last few years. Enjoy!

Happy Listening: Temper Trap

Australian band The Temper Trap have blown up in the last year to become a favourite inspiring soundtrack for television shows, commercials, and a handful of recent romantic comedies. Commercialism aside, their sound is impactful and beautifully climatic. Here are two of my favourite, and their most popular tracks.

Temper Trap - Sweet Disposition

Happy Listening: With a Girl Like You

Check out this Super 8 style wedding video shot and edited by Sharkpig that features the oldies hit With a Girl Like You. Sharkpig is part of the awesomely rad collective known as The Flash Dance. I’m a huuuuuge fan of this group of artists. They make weddings so much cooler, which is what I’m always trying to do. Below the vid I have a more modern version of the same song by TV on the Radio member, David Sitek, for the beautiful compilation album Dark Was The Night. Have a listen and let me know which you prefer.

Happy Listening!

Happy Listening: Animal

This quirky track from Miike Snow is perfect for summer listening. ……ya, his last name might contradict this theory, but pair it with some sandals and sunshine and you’ll see what I mean.

Enjoy!
