Because the music that they constantly play, It says nothing to me about my life

So this is just a little post about four albums that have recently found their way into my iTunes.

First up and as I recently posted about HERE Coeur de pirate has absolutely stolen my heart. Even though I have not got the faintest idea what she is saying in her sweet little French accent I must say that I think that that adds to the charm. The video for the tune Adieu could be watched again and again because of its beautiful retro-styling. Ever frame could be a photograph as you can see below.

Another album that recently found its way into my iTunes is Wouter De Backer third studio album Making Mirrors. Gotye - as he is more affectionally known - is on everyone's iPod at the moment in the form of Somebody That I Used To Know featuring the lovely New Zealander Kimbra who has also produced more than a few catchy tunes of her own on her debut album Vows. Somebody That I Used To Know is like the boy version of Someone Like You and it is just divine. Also the video (below) has grown to be quite iconic with all the paint and stuff which is also quite cool. If you do eventually grow tired of listening to Somebody on repeat for hours on end, then waiting in the wings are In Your Life (catchy and feel-good), Bronte (soothing with Gotye's trademark bittersweet vocals and some tribal drums) and Easy Way Out (up-beat and happy).

Tracks from Metronomy's third album English Riviera have also been a recent addition to my playlists. My favourites on it are Corinne, Love Underlined and the well-known Everything Goes My Way.

Continuing the trend of third albums, Amy Winehouse's post-humous Lioness: Hidden Treasures is also taking up a lot of my listening time. The Girl from Ipanema and Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow have been added to the majority of my playlists because if you are looking for something to lie back and listen to while drinking a cup of tea after a long day of lectures you don't understand.

Also as the title suggests, I am still in love with The Smiths and I have yet to find something that will earn as much love in my heart as they have. The title lyrics are from my favourite song Panic and I thought that they were quite fitting for the post.

Cheers for reading,
