You know what’s annoying? When you’ve got something you have to do but there are a million and one things you’d rather be doing!
That’s how my week has turned out so far. University work has finally caught up with me and I’ve spent the past week stuck working whilst, typically, loads of great new tracks, videos and news stories have been popping up all around me. It was frustrating, and tough not to carry on posting as usual.
Anyway, enough about me. I thought that, rather than letting it all pass I’d publish a quick round-up featuring everything I haven’t had chance to share with you over the past few days.
It’s gonna be short, sharp and straight to the point. Here goes…
Toro Y Moi may be pretty new to me but I’m already loving ‘Blessa’ and it’s accompanying video, very dreamy, laid back and relaxing (just what I need after this week!) (via)
