NOW PLAYING (SPRING)

Hey guys so it's Spring which means listening to joyous songs and sunshine and maybe lollipops and lots of yoghurt (bc yes dairy!) and inappropriate-weather-dressing and thirst and perspiration and sandals and dancing. And optimism also relating to the weather (because is actually more like Winter?)

So here is my now-playing playlist that helps me imagine it is in fact sunshiney and not drizzly and not less than 10 degrees celsius and that I am not maybe wrapped in considerable cocoon of clothing.

Lurch & Chief - Melbourne band, they played once at uni and then i checked out their triple j unearthed page  and stalked on various forms of social media and now i listen to my entire collection of their tunes (3 songs ahem) on repeat. This song is so so so catchy and I want to sing it aloud on the train all the time (and Mr lead singer's voice is like honey to my soul)

Alt J - a hasty google reveals alt-j to be British. Their name is actually ∆ but is pronounced Alt-J (duh??)

I had a sneaky listen to them in the wake of Laneway fest lineup announcement, because I was maybe too uncool to know many of the bands playing. And YES I love (triangle) now, so I am able to proclaim my coolness to the streets. An Awesome Wave is album of choice - maybe best song is Tesselate. (Solely for line: 'triangles are my favourite shape'??)

Michel Telo - this song reeks of my Europe travels and makes me want to laugh and dance (and cry because of nostalgia). And look how smooth Michel Tego is!?!! 

(Yes the video has 443 million views? - which is a considerable number. Join the fun children)

SPRING

so hey guys if you haven't noticed, the month has ticked over september-way
and it is now SPRING which is a most delightful season filled with tweeting blue birds (TWITTER?), glorious filtered sunshine and beautiful blossoms.
(or something like this)
i'm sure you may have perused various forms of literature celebrating the oncoming of such darling weather, but this shall not stop me creating a tribute to the beginning of this season.
today in melbourne was so beautiful. there was blue sky and warm-but-not-hot/sweat, and there were sandals and eager kids bathing in some resplendent glow on the grass patches. sometimes, we are reptiles: too keen to soak up rays of heat and absorb into our cold and winter-hardened skin.
and it is around this time that i consider getting a leg wax (bc hairy bc winter), and revel in the absolute joy of icypoles. some people may consider icypoles to be childish/not suited to all occasions, but they are too wrong. icypoles are GREAT AND GROUSE. and you should indulge in them because they are delicious and icy and juicy and thirst-quenching and containing of fruit (extract) and might make your face sticky and liable to childhood reminisce. OH YEAH I LOVE THEM
today i saw a lady with some sort of stuffed bird/fake bird/not sure hair clip/hair piece/attachment in her hair and it was SO SPRING RIGHT NOW!!! but my phone was dead so i could not instagram this most marvellous piece of hair-stylin'

dr seuss, oh say can you see?
