Free, legal music downloads!

Hello from rainy London,
I have been kept in doors all week relegated to the couch by poor weather and permeable shoes. Thus I have spent my time drinking outrageous quantities of tea, eating chocolate and listening to some fantastic music!

I have rediscovered an amazing website called http://www.daytrotter.com/. Basically Day Trotter is an organisation that invites up-and-coming and often strange musicians to their studio, where the artists and bands perform their favourite tracks as "unplugged" "acoustic" sessions. These sessions are then uploaded online for the whole world to download for FREE, that's rad! Yes some of the music could be described as folk... which isn't really my vibe truth be told, but there are some free tracks from Death Cab, Guster, The Vaccines and Noah and the Whale, all quality acts, so if nothing else, sign up and download those, as they are well rad!

Get stuck in!!

London is just great

Today marks my 5th month in the island, it has been such an adventure so far, so I shall post some photos this evening from the last few months of city and wider country exploration...

Wimbledon this weekend (mixed with some inspiring poetry for a certain parent) got me thinking about life love and everything inbetween, so I thought I might share the outcome of such ponders:

Anacornicova,
Sharapova,
Eva Birnerova
I would watch the tennis with them on the sofa

They've got loads cash and heeps of fame
sadly they're all much the same
Its not their fault,they are not to blame
you see love means nothing in a tennis game

Anacornicova
Sharapova
Eva Birnerova
I wish I could picnic with them on the cliffs of Dover

I knew in love, I was starting to fall,
When watching them serve and return the ball
So I went on Russian brides dot com
But soon realized that they were not on
Now Wimbledons a whole year away
It'll be a while untill I get to see them play

Anacormicova
Sharapova
Eva Birnerova
