(Almost) Feels Like Summer

The last couple of days have actually been quite warm. I'm looking forward to summer this year. It should be one to remember.

As winter slowly fades here's a song guaranteed to get you in the mood for the warmer months ahead. With a reference to Maggie May being played on the jukebox how could it not.

'T-shirt Weather' by the Lucksmiths

Two One

So today I turn 21. The thing is though, I feel so much older. I guess it's because of everything I've been through over the last few years. I feel as if those events have aged me at least ten years.

It is so true though, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. I wouldn't be the person I am today without those experiences, so it's not all bad. Things can only get better I suppose.......

I don't care how uncool people say Donovan is I still love this song.

Apparently he was going to give it to Jimi Hendrix to record. Maybe if he did it would have got the cred it deserves.

the Stones

Here's a couple of Stones songs I've been listening to way too much lately.

This isn't going to be 'blog' as such, because I haven't really got much to say (in a public forum anyways). It's just going to be a place to post random shit I am reading/watching/listening to. Hope you get some enjoyment out of it.
