"The culture we have does not make people feel good about themselves. And you have to be strong enough to say if the culture doesn't work, don't buy it."

I have an inexorable passion for God, young people, coffee, writing, Photoshop, good books, precise grammar, beautiful words that I will never use in my day-to-day conversations, avocadoes, purple, pretty stationery, random trivia that is of absolutely no use to me, Post-its, bubble wrap, facial hair and origami.

Wandering Limbs by Kimbra ft. Sam Morris

I imagine passers-by wandering the streets of Fitzroy, hurrying back to work from lunch when suddenly, their runaway train of thoughts is interrupted by faint music wafting from a graffiti-ed alley way. They’d duck into the alley way out of curiosity - still in uncreased shirts and leather briefcases -and peek round the corner to find a pack of photographers and camera men crowding round a pair of musicians who are in their zone, pouring their hearts out into a song. The atmosphere is pregnant with unspoken awe; everyone is careful not to pierce the moment with even a whisper. The passers-by catch their breaths, enraptured by the beauty of the moment. They then check their watches and take a step back, reluctantly extricating themselves from the gravitational pull of the hidden commotion and return to the busy urban streets and everyday life.

If You Never Fall in Love with Me by Carmen McRae

I love how Carmen exudes this easy, relaxed charm in front of the camera and how her studio performances are never flamboyant or over-the-top. She is all unruffled feathers and comfortable in her skin; I’m a little bit in love.

A Shot To The Stars by Whitley

2 songs into Whitley’s first album and I suddenly remembered that he is no longer producing songs of such bone-aching beauty. I am terribly sad.

Light All My Lights by Seeker, Lover, Keeper

Everything about this video, this song. 

Brutal Hearts by Bedouin Soundclash ft. Couer De Pirate

I would very much like a French Canadian man. Preferably the male replica of Couer De Pirate.

Somebody That I Used To Know by Gotye ft. Kimbra

So friggin’ brilliant.

Ffunny Ffrends by Unknown Mortal Orchestra

I think…I think, after a season of barely finding new bands worthy of falling in love with this year, that this might be a breakthrough. Huzza!

Blue Ridge Mountains by Fleet Foxes

Probably my favourite song off that album. Probably my favourite live version.
