Music Monday - Bastille

Sitting knitting in front of Made in Chelsea (which I secretly love of course, since I have such appalling taste in television...) I heard this, and it's lovely!



...and then I had a bit of a nosey and found this, and it's lovely too!



Hope you're all well :) if I ever finish this sample square, I'll share my knitting attempts! x

Tuneful Tuesday...

...a Rocky Horror Show Glee?? Oh yes, please!



...of course I couldn't let you forget my Halloween tribute!

Sound of Sunday - James Blake

I can't stop listening to this! Pretty sure Oliver wants to tear his ears off by now...but I'll probably play it again nevertheless ;-)





Ooh, this also reminds me that I bought Paris, Je T'Aime with a Christmas HMV voucher and haven't watched it yet! That may make a bleak Monday worth looking forward to!

What's your Sound this Sunday? Have you been up to much over the weekend?

Sounds of Sunday - Boards of Canada

This Sunday is very grey and dull...a good day for chilly walks, looking at puppies, putting up new curtains and making Valentine's cards - with a very chilled-out soundtrack, courtesy of Boards of Canada!

















What's your Sound this Sunday? What have you been up to this weekend?

Sounds of Saturday - Emma's Imagination

I think I'm a little late to the party on this one, but Claire of French for Cupcake posted one of Emma's Imagination's songs on her blog the other day, so I investigated further, and I really like her! She's a Scottish singer who won Must Be The Music, and definitely worth a listen or two :)























What's your Sound this Saturday?

Music Monday - Kate Bush!

Happy Monday! I'm working today (I normally have Mondays off and craft-happy!) because we're off to Krakow later in the weekend, so I've scheduled a very entertaining Music Monday in case you get bored in my absence ;-) Kate Bush - one of my absolute favourites!

The videos aren't the best quality...they're pretty old school!














And my two favourites together :)




Ahhh I love her!

If any of you have any holiday tips or good places to visit in Krakow, do let me know!

Sound of Sunday

Oh goodness, I'm just watching the X-Factor on ITV Player...that show's producers don't half know how to play on people's emotions!

The original and the best...



But because it is for a very good cause...

Sounds of Saturday - Marina and the Diamonds!

Good afternoon! Today's Sound is the lovely Marina and the Diamonds, who we went to see last night (and successfully cleared a three-square foot space around us due to manic dancing and offensively loud singing, probably)...she was awesome :)

















I've spent today recovering...and photographing my new Christmas decorations, which should be going in the shop tomorrow - watch this space! What are you up to this weekend?

Sounds of Sunday - Laura Marling

Well hello there! Happy Halloween! Today's Sounds of Sunday post is dedicated to my lovely friend Ali, who informed me today that she's bought tickets for us to go see Laura Marling in November...and I am EXCITED!!

I hope you enjoy these lovely tunes for a nice chilled-out Sunday :)

















Exciiited!!

Sounds of Sunday - Lykke Li!

Good evening! I hope you've all had lovely weekends :) to finish them off, here are some lovely tunes courtesy of Lykke Li!

















What's been your Sound this Sunday? What have you been up to this weekend?

Sounds of Sunday - The Bad Shepherds!

Good evening! How are you all? I'm very aware of my almost TWO WEEK absence...how rubbish am I?! Excuses excuses - I was sick for a little while (this is big news in the Wrapped Up With String household...I never get sick!) and I've also been concentrating some SRS BSNS that may or not come to fruition over the coming months - I'll let you know! Anyway!


I'm kick-starting up again ( trusty pack of tissues alongside - aaah-chooo!) with a truly excellent (and long-time coming!) Sounds of Sunday - The Bad Shepherds! Led by Adrian Edmondson and with Troy Donockley on Uillean pipes, cittern and whistles and Andy Dinan on fiddle, they play punk music on folk instruments...and it's great! Now, my dad's been touring with them as their sound man all year, but it's taken me until October (shock) to actually see them...and I wish I'd seen them sooner!

Enjoy :)














The first one - Talking Heads - is my favourite :) what's your Sound this Sunday? What have you been up to?!

Music Monday - Clare Maguire!

Hello! I discovered today's Music Monday supporting at last night's Hurts gig (which was amaaaaazing, but they've already had their own Sounds post!) - she's Clare Maguire, and she was great! Enjoy!











Amazing amateur photography, no? I think all the tall people in the gig were standing in a line directly in front of me...

Music Monday - Kate Miller-Heidke

Today's Music Monday is pinched from the lovely Jem, one of the friends we stayed with this weekend in Edinburgh...plenty of eating, drinking, film-watching, crocheting and beading ensued (I'll show you my creations once I've photographed them!) - and she had some of the lovely Kate Miller-Heidke on her iPod...so here she is! Thanks, Jem!

















Did you get up to anything fun over the weekend?
