Stop listening to this mixtape, it's like musical crack cocaine.

Enjoy. 

'Put this on your blog, not Rihanna or whatever her name is...' 

Some douche from my office.

He has a point though, Beach House are amazing.

But don't dis the Princess.

Blogger playlist: FRANCES D 'Happy because'

Frances is a blogger, who like myself - loves Da MUSIK.

I started listening to Marina and the diamonds because of her, 'Daisy dares you' was recommended on her blog and I was all like 'Daisy dares who?... I'm listening anyway'.

So, who better to compile the first blogger playlist on the CHH loves site?

This playlist isn’t all ‘down with love’, stop shaving your legs and embrace solitude for ever more.

You can do that though, I don’t forbid it.

It’s more like a celebration of self (ooh), some songs which make you feel just a little bit invincible. And as my aunt (who may or may not be an alcoholic, but no matter) always says "it doesn't matter if you're looking for someone, because there's someone looking for you". I think you're great.

You’re not going to like every single one of these songs, but you’ll find one or two or three or eight which work for you. If you like every single one, you’re my best friend.

Frances.

Must read

 

O.K so I haven't read this one yet have to finish 'Angel's Game' which I am reading for my book group (yes I'm in a book group - get over it).  But expect an update as soon as I am done with it. 

Happy reading folks.

Coco Sumner Feat. Robyn

I can't decide if the song/ vid is cool.

Or is just too contrived and 'cool'?



I do think she has a really great voice... Much like her pa.

Truly amazing (and a little bit gory - a warning for those who are not so strong of stomach).
