Bella Boogaloo - A Musical Journey
People are constantly asking me what I'm currently listening to so I started this blog to give friends (and stalkers) an insight into the music that I love. I update when I can.

Happiness By The Kilowatt - City & Color
For the first time in a long time it felt like everything in life was going great. Then I got my heart broken by someone yesterday who is yet again confused by what they want... And who I stupidly let into my life wholeheartedly and accepted the flaws of, accepted had stuff to deal with & this still wasn't good enough.
I only ever seem to attract these types of guys in my life. The married & confused, using me as some kind of substitute for their issues. It's really not fair - I'm a nice, decent, fun person who gives so much to those around me to make them happy, so when do I get to be happy to? When do I get to feel loved?
Why do guys always say that it's so hard to find a good girl, when there is a good girl here, broken hearted again by someone who was too arrogant to spare my heart for their own selfish reasons? I just don't get it, and probably never will...
"My heart feels sick and it hurts when I speak
Was this what we hoped for?
Was this what we hoped for?"

Justin Timberlake-What goes around

Nneka - Heartbeat (Chase & Status Remix)
The lyrics that resonate with me the most are:
You said you'd be there for me
In times of trouble when I need you and I'm down
And likewise you need friendship
It's from my side pure love but I see lately things have been changing
You have goals to achieve
But the roads you take are broad and heartless
That wants you make another way
You throw stones
Can you see that I am human I am breathing
But you don't give a damn
Can you feel my heart is beating
Can you see the pain you're causing
Can you feel my heart is beating
Can you see the pain you're causing
Enjoy!

End of Fashion - Dying For You
These wants and needs we won't repress
I wont feel lonely today
Ooh and I want you so much
Dying for you
Dying for you
I'll wait for you
Dying for you

The XX - Infinity (Bachelors Of Science Drum n Bass Remix)
I've decided that since there are so many wicked remixes of The XX out there that all this week I will be featuring my favourite ones. This little gem was done by a bunch of guys from San Francisco, Bachelors of Science.
BoS have been making waves in the DnB scene and listening to this remix you have to understand why. Their use of unusual samples, not normally heard in DnB tracks. It's a very ambient version of what this remix could potentially be but it's a great remix none the less.
Enjoy!

Star Slinger - May I Walk With You?
He creates music using samples from songs that he finds everywhere and this track, May I walk with you, was the song that made my ears fall deeply in love with this british wunderkind. The LP is great on long drives too, it's on high rotation in my car!
His whole LP is worth checking out and you can buy it from his website http://www.starslinger.net/home.html
Enjoy!

Namine - Spacific Ocean
Namine, AKA Darcy Bayliss, is in a new crop of Australian up & coming acts. His hypnotic rhythyms and smooth sampling is something that has been missing from our scene for a very long time. He has a very bright future ahead of him, given that he's still in his teens!
Sit back with a glass of red and listen...
Enjoy!

This is their latest offering, Demons. It is funky, high energy and melodically pleasing not to mention the wicked clip that is mesmerising to watch.
Enjoy!

Cliff Richard - Summer Holiday
This video has a double decker bike, some fun people on bikes & the ageless Cliff Richard - before he became a sir & went orange from too much sun.
Enjoy!
