Friday Five

 

 

 

 

I'm getting in there.... just... Only 1 hour left of Friday. I'm lying in bed and watching a couple of videos of a band I recently came across and I just had to share.

 

The Sons of the East. I'm a fan.

 

This video got Guy into a real spin...great music and DIY board shaping.

And this video, their imagery is so lovely and I just love the music.

 

I know what you're thinking "that's not five" but it's late and I have a trick. Their album has five songs on it. Taaadaaaa. Enjoy

 

Happy Friday x

 

Friday five

 

 

What the? A Friday five?? Have you been reading this blog for a while? Do you remember when I used to be a little bit good at blogging for a few months and I did a Friday five EVERY Friday?! Well, let's try it again.

 

 

Caroline Smith and the Good Night Sleeps ------> Eagles Nest

 

 

Matt Corby ------> Lay you down

 

 

Van Morrison ------> It stoned me

 

 

Janne Schra & M. Ward ------> Eyes on the prize (find the spotify version!!)

 

 

Caroline Smith and the Good Night Sleeps ------> Tanktop

I like being reminded of a song so I can listen to it again....that's kind of what I'm doing here... These are songs I like. You might like them too and maybe I reminded you to tune in again....or maybe they're new for you, bonus!!

 

 

Happy Friday!

Some more music for you weekend listening pleasure...... If you like them that is...

 

I was excited to see that Daughter have realeased and album....I was a massive fan of this song from their EP and then I had to go and add another song from the new album that I know will be overplayed yet still adored by my ears.

This song is for a lovely friend....what is it with men writing songs about you, sweet Caroline? Must be because you're a steaming babe.

 

I love all of these albums and I have a crush on him, the tallest man on earth never disappoints me.

 

An oldie but a goodie, you can't go past a little bit of Dylan on a Friday

 

Happy Friday! I'll be visiting a finished roof later today or tomorrow. Eeeeee!

 

Friday five

 

 

 

Some more songs for your Friday....

This song by Gregory Alan Isakov makes me want to crawl up on the lap of the husky voiced vocalist and go to sleep.... That's a little weird.

 

Such an oldie by Blur but if you weren't a teenager in the 90's obsessed with Brit pop then you may have missed it.

 

I have played this video to almost every one of my friends, this dude is a dreamboat and man can he sing. Matt Corby is going to make your day if you haven't seen this yet.

 

Thanks for the text this morning Miss Andrea....I've listened to this Vance Joy song twice this morning already. Xx

 

Ok, so I loved this fella during XFactor (which we watched religiously by the way...we will watch any xfactor show religiously, guilty pleasure, favourite show ever....give me a live audition any day of the week) and when I heard him sing this song, it actually made me love it (close your earholes Bat for Lashes fans)....more than the original.

 

Happy Friday xx

Friday five

No music for your ear holes today, instead.... Things to buy, covet, ohhhh and ahhhh over.

 

Ohhhhh I know, that graphic vase is amazing.... I have 3, talk about breaking the bank. Check out this awesome find in the link fest below.

Small graphic vase.... I'm in love. Make some pompoms shove them on a stick and make some pompom "flowers". Not even I can kill them.

Picturing these basket shaped light shades in a cluster of three in our front entrance...maybe with a painted dipdye feature on the bottom of one them.

About to drop some cash on this amazing Evie Kemp swan print any minute now...

Thinking this hexagon planter would look pretty great beside that little vase up there, don't ya think?

And last but by no means least....these amazing chunky woolen throws by Amy from Milo and Mitzy

 

Happy Friday!

Friday Five

 

First of all, Clémence Poésy....check her out here on Rue's fashion and Style post. I think she is cool and do not judge me if you start to notice me styling myself to look like her. There is nothing wrong with wanting to be a hot French actress with super cool style.... Even if you are a hairdressing New Zealander that spends her weekends at a building site rather than cool places in Paris or something.

 

Ok, so...You know those songs I posted last week...well, I hope you liked some of them because I might just keep doing it, if its ok with you? Quite nice to have the odd break from a building post.

The City and Colour song has been an everyday listen for a few months now....I absolutely love it. Oh, and the Crowded House cover that my sister introduced me to. They're all pretty lovely though.

 

The Girl ---> City and Colour

 

Alas We Aspire ---> Amy Stroup

 

Only One for Me ---> Daniel Ellsworth & The Great Lakes

 

Jackson ---> Florence and the Machine, MTV Unplugged

 

Boy and Bear ---> Fall at Your Feet

 

 

Happy Friday!
