What I'm listening to at the moment

I created another playlist of songs I'm listening to called 'An Acoustic-Choral-Folky Playlist'. This time its a bit slower and more choral. These are songs I'm really enjoying at the moment and are pretty cool.

I made the playlist shorter this time as I think it gives it all a better flow instead of just being a bunch of songs thrown together (at least thats what happened in my head).

Songs I'm listening to at the moment

I decided to create a playlist of some of my top songs at the moment. The list has some music that I think deserves a listen and that isn't well known especially in South Africa. Excuse the hipster-ness of the list. Here is the playlist on Grooveshark http://grooveshark.com/#/playlist/What+s+Happening+In+My+Ears+At+The+Moment/53065518?src=5 (let me know if the link doesn't work).

Chuckle o' the day

It makes me mad when people say I turned and ran like a scared rabbit. Maybe it was like an angry rabbit, who was running to go fight in another fight, away from the first fight.

This chuckle also makes me think of the band Frightened Rabbit who are totally rad and you should totally listen to them if you haven't yet. They have been my band of choice to wake up to at work in the morning. That makes them cool. Well not really, they were probably cool before then, plus they're Scottish so they come pre-cooled.
