THE MARCH PLAYLIST.

Drumroll please, guys! Or not... that's cool too.
Yeah, so after careful consideration, compilation and... something else beginning with 'c', I have finished my March Playlist. Here goes:

1/. 'I Follow Rivers' - Lykke Li.
It's not uncommon for artists to make reappearances on my monthly mixtapes, because I usually become obsessed with bands for a couple months and then forget about them. Lykke Li's an example of this, but this song is completely different to 'Get Some'. It's upbeat and catchy but doesn't include the word 'prostitute', for example.

2/. 'Anti-D' - The Wombats.
I love The Wombats so much, and this song reminds me why. It's so sad, but hopeful, and I just want to give everyone I see a cuddle after I hear it. On a slightly related note, here's a funny story: I did my work experience with NME, the music magazine, in September and it was, unsurprisingly, the most amazing thing I've ever done. The last job I was asked to do was transcribe an interview with The Wombats, and I was asked by NME's beautiful new music editor, Jaimie Hodgson. It was about 3 when I started and by 4.30, the end of the day and my work experience week, I was still only halfway done. So I had to shuffle over to one of the most gorgeous men I've ever seen in real life, give him back his Blackberry, and explain the situation. You could tell that he was a little disappointed, but he said it was fine. Earlier in the week, I was asked to write a review of a single, which would then be given to one of the NME staff, and guess who mine was? Yeah, I had to shuffle back to him and ask him what he thought, but instead of acknowledging him in a normal way, I said "long time, no see". He wasn't impressed, and those words have haunted me ever since. God, I'm an embarrassment.

3/. 'Young Parisians' - Adam & The Ants.
I got the Adam & The Ants Greatest Hits album in March, having only heard about 5 songs by Adam & The Ants. One song that jumped out at me on the album was this one, because it's so lyrically basic, yet hilarious. My favourite bit: "Allo!" It gets me every time :']

4/. 'Shell Games' - Bright Eyes.
I've been a fan of Bright Eyes since I heard 'First Day Of My Life', so when I heard that they were releasing a new album I nearly cried. I got this song as a free download, actually, but I bought the album anyway. It's really good, and they're actually not emo at all, so there.
Just a little aside comment: This is the first time I've seen the video, and Conor Oberst is still FIT. You're welcome for this one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6MnpD5_4GI

5/. 'Us' - Regina Spektor.
I watched '500 Days Of Summer' in December. I expected it to be amazing and to fall in love with it like I did with 'Juno'. I didn't. However I really liked the soundtrack, so I stole it from my sister. This song is from the film, but I already adored Regina Spektor. Her songs are like little emotionscapes [I think I just made up that word...] By this, I mean that they span from one emotion to a completely different one: in 'Us', it starts off happy but by the end it's all sad and super emotional and kinda just makes me want to cry.

6/. 'New Ceremony' - Dry The River.
This song is GORGEOUS. I just love his voice and the background harmonies and the simple guitar and then the beautiful violin and... yeah, I love this song. I heard it at the end of February and really liked it. Not long after, various friends of mine went to see Two Door Cinema Club and guess who was supporting? Yep, Dry The River. Apparently, they sound exactly the same live as they do on the single. Of course I'm not jealous...

7/. 'Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now' - The Smiths.
Remember my brainworms post? Yeah, this brainworm stuck all month and I didn't mind one bit.

8/. 'Still Here' - Brother.
"Now, where do I recognise that name? Brother. Broooother. Bro-ther. OH, they're that band from Slough!" I've heard so many people say that before. I really like Brother and, I'll admit, at first I did only listen to them because they're from Slough, but they're a legit band. Like, they remind me a little of Oasis, except... good.

9/. 'Friday' - Rebecca Black.
COMMON SCENARIO #1: "Hey, Bob, when's the Biology homework due?" "FRIDAY, FRIDAY, GETTIN' DOWN ON FRIDAY!" COMMON SCENARIO #2: "Yo, Jerry, what's the plan for this weekend?" "PARTYIN', PARTYIN', YEAH! FUN, FUN, FUN. LOOKIN' FORWARD TO THE WEEK-END." COMMON SCENARIO #3: "Excuse me, Sir, what's the date?" "YESTERDAY WAS THURSDAY, THURSDAY. TODAY IT IS FRIDAY, FRIDAY... TOMORROW IS SATURDAY, AND SUNDAY COMES AFTER-WAAARDS." "Cheers, Sir." Need I say more? You all know this song!

10/. 'Where Is My Mind' - Pixies.
I watched 'Fight Club' in March and I reeeeeeeeeeeally liked it. This is the song that plays in the end credits and although I already loved this song, hearing it at that point just clarified its amazingness to me.

11/. 'Metabolism' - The Strokes.
I haven't got an awful lot to say about this, because I couldn't actually tell you anything about this song. I've listened to the new album by The Strokes once, and this song jumped out a little more than the others. You may be able to tell that I wasn't overly impressed by 'Angles' at first listen. Meh, never mind, I'm sure I'll give the song a listen now.

12/. 'Crazy For You' - Best Coast.
Best Coast are just so cute! I aspire to one day be as in love with someone as Bethany Cosentino is with whoever she was with when she wrote this album. "I'm always waiting by the phone, can't wait for you to get home. I'm always crazy when I miss you, I'm always lazy when I miss you." God, the adorabubbles are foaming over!

13/. 'She Wants' - Metronomy.
If you like embarrassing, yet irresistible electro-pop attempts, you'd have loved Metronomy, circa 2008. But Metronomy have grown up now, with their serious songs about serious stuff! They're big boys and now one of the four is black and another one's a girl - how things change! Their music was pretty good then, and is really good now.

14/. 'To Kayley, Who Is Sad' - Alex Day & Tom Milsom.
"HAHAHAHA-HAHA! Your card got stolen again! Your country's stupid and so are you! HAHAHAHA-HAHA!" It's a YouTube thing, and here's a brief synopsis: owlssayhoot [Kayley] had her credit card stolen, so nerimon [Alex Day] and hexachordal [Tom Milsom] decided to, uh, cheer her up with a song they wrote.

15/. 'Blood Bank' - Bon Iver.
It's kinda spooky and atmospheric, but only consists of guitar and harmonies. Maybe it's because this Canadian singer recorded it in his shed in a forest.

16/. 'You Make My Dreams' - Hall & Oates.
Another '500 Days Of Summer' song! This was the only bit of the film that I really liked, the little dance routine that Joseph Gordon-Levitt has after he meets Zooey Deschanel. This song reminds me of a road trip my brother and I took with my dad, and how happy we all were after it came on the road mix. Oh, the happy time.
I found the scene from 500DOS, it's legit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgVNgYXFi_Q

17/. 'Dreaming Of Another World' - Mystery Jets.
I really love songs that give me advice, and this sone certainly does: "Just try, try to scrape the sky. Only once, once before you die. Do something that would make your mother cry, and dream, dream of another world." I guess it's open to discussion and could be interpreted in various ways. For me, it just tells me to forget everything around me for a while, which I consider reeeeeeeeeally good advice.

18/. 'If You Wanna' - The Vaccines.
HOLY MOTHER OF GOD, I LOVE THE VACCINES. I won't do the big speech again, but I think you get the idea. They're amazing. I urge you to listen to this song, at least.

19/. 'Falling Down' - Scarlett Johansson.
Many of you will not know that Scarlett Johansson is my girl crush, and many of you will also not know that she sings. She did an album of Tom Waits covers and it was truly beautiful. And I'm not just saying that because I love her. I managed to get my hands on that album in March and this was my favourite track.

20/. 'Yellow Submarine' - The Beatles.
What a terrible song! That's because it's Ringo, y'see, and his MASSIVE JEW NOSE. Basically, I got the album 'Yellow Submarine' in March and it's easily the worst Beatles album so far [I'm collecting them chronologically] I know all the words to it though and it seems to be the first Beatles song that anybody knows, so I guess it's got something about it.

And that's it. I hope you liked :]
I didn't have time to draw a picture, am so sorry. I'll just post a picture tomorreh, yeah? :D
BYEEEE. x,.
