Really like this, very vintage sweet. Also check out 'Be the Change' -Love the video clip!

Wondering through Covent Garden today and heard some amazing music around the corner and discovered the Ryan O'Reilly Band entertaining a crowd. Bought one of their CD's after listening to them for 5 minutes. Love it!

Will def be looking out for when they will next be playing somewhere! Hurry up and get signed boys!

For a wee bit of fun...

Makes me want to get up and dance!

OH M E R C Y

Quite like the mellowness of this group but particularly love the piano in the chorus -all tinkly and pretty!

K I M B R A

Kinda kooky but I like it.

B I R D Y

Am a massive fan of Bon Iver and have stumbled across Birdy -a 14! year old girl who has done an amazing cover of Skinny Love!

Am just the teeniest bit jealous...

Gorilla man gorilla man...

Am loving Caitlin Rose who hails from Nashville, Tennessee. She's pretty adamant in her youtube interviews that she's not pop or folk or anything associated and hates the word Indie... she prefers to see herself as an original country singer but... I kinda have to disagree a weeeee bit with her there. Her music is really great but I can't help instantly think she sounds like she belongs a little bit in the indie/folk category... I think it may be some of the lyrics she uses? Listen to Shanghai Cigarettes I'm playing it over and over.

Okay so I have to admit I kinda stole this from a neato blog I came across So Much To Come Firstly because I thought it reminded me a little of a previous blog post I did on the russian musical film Hipsters with their great costumes and secondly because I love the remake of this song! (don't get me wrong -the original is great too but this one just has a little more modern punch to it).

Dry The River

Great band new to me I discovered today on trust youtube thanks to LondonLuci and the music accompanying her illustrations!

Dry The River are a talented bunch of musicians from England! Which of course makes it so much easier for me to see them now that I am indeed in L O N D O N!

Arrived last Friday and am proud to say I am becomming quite the seasoned tube user. The public transport here makes NZ's look like a joke.

Have joined several recruitment places this week, applied for my NI (National Insurance number), bank account set up is on Monday, Tomorrow am off to the V&A to spend glorious hours in their textile dept! Basso and Brooke may be on Sunday, or possibly early next week.

I worked a random temp shift through one of the recruitment places today at Top Shop (clothing store) on Oxford St of all places! Absolute horror as it was sale time and I had to restock the racks... Never again, women can be vicious shoppers!

The P I E R C E S

Just discovered The Pierces, and I like a lot.

Sister singer/songwriter duo, hail from Alabma. Quirky folk type of music.

L E N K A

Lenka is an amazing aussie folk singer, loving her cute song 'The Show' at the moment!

Her videos are pretty fun too, a mix of illustration, photo collage, craft pieces and video -fun!

Kina Grannis

Love this girls beautiful melodies!

Go to her site (click pic) and download 'Valentine' for freeeeeee

In The Sun

I absolutely love SHE & HIM (also very jealous of Zooey Deschanel and her quirky effortlessly stylish vintage fashion sense!) could not help but giggle a tiny bit watching this though, made me want to get up and dance a bit -just a little bit...

I love the creativity of this band! Depiciting iconic paintings throughout the centuries.

Hold your horses -70 Million

Roslyn -Bon Iver

(couldn't find a great vid on it but the music on this one is decent enough!)
