I dislike university.
Not really.
But it does annoy me when I get up at 7am, rush to have a shower, valiantly battle for a place on the bus, and run around university for about twenty minutes trying to find the lecture room, only for my lecturer not to turn up.
Well....
Balls to you, sir. Balls. to. you.
Though I did buy myself a Vanilla Coffee Creme frappuchino from the Starbucks on campus just to make up for my trouble.
Silver linings, people, silver linings.
Silver linings, people, silver linings.
On another note, I spent my bank holiday weekend drawing...whilst sat inside.
I'm so British it's almost unbelievable. First sign of summer? I hide inside and curse the skies.
Though, I should mention that the blossom is looking mighty fine right now.
Also, I'm not a total Agoraphobe seeing as I plan to head out to the Botanical gardens soon.
But first, this blog post!
"What is it about?" I hear you ask. Well...
It's become a thing on this blog for me to suggest music to you lot. So, I give you Dan Fable.
This is Dan Fable and Josh Healey's song 'The Girl I Used To Know', which charted at #29
My playlist has recently changed for a more summery one, and Dan is definitely at the top of it. A lot of people have been saying that he's quite similar to Ed Sheeran, or like a Manchesterian Joshua Radin. And, although I do agree with them, I definitely think he has his own style, which shines through.
Right now, I'm a bit addicted to his song Kryptonite (above). I think the simplicity of just a voice, a guitar and some clapping basically sums up what I think summer sounds like. I understand why people think dance music is summery, with its upbeat tempo and whatnot. But I love songs which remind you of hazy summer days with the warm sun and cool breeze, and Dan's songs do that to me. I recommend having a listen to his stuff, even if it doesn't really sound like it's your sort of thing.
I mean, come on. If I could introduce myself like this at every university icebreaker I had to do, then everything would be a hell of a lot better.
Anyway, if you don't like him by now, then I might as well just give up, because you're obviously oblivious to good music. But, if you're a sane person, then here are his youtube and itunes pages...
Go on, you wonderful people. Go and support an up-and-coming artist. You know you want to.
Also, go forth and spread the word of Dan Fable. The more the merrier, I say!
Righty-ho, I shall be popping off now. It seems a shame to be sat inside pretending to revise, when I could be outside pretending to revise.
For those of you who shall not be venturing outside today, or do not own a window, or are stuck in country with nothing but gloomy skies, or some part of the world where it's actually night-time, then here. I leave you with some blue skies and fluffy white clouds to brighten your day...
Cheerio!
Really awesome blog post!
ReplyDeleteYou're so typically British, too!:D
Loved this post<3
