I’m a member of a very secret, and very exclusive music club. Myself, along with 30 other individuals from around the globe come up with a theme for each month in which we all have to create a mixtape for one another.
This months theme was “Plants and Gardens”
And because I was very proud of my playlist this week, I wanted to share it with you guys.
Thanks to me, you’re going to be one of the lucky few who get to say “yeah, I was listening to these guys before they were famous”
This band is called The Good China and the tune is “No More Maps, No More Roads”.
Why doesn’t it surprise me to find out that they’re Australian? Honestly, so much awesome pop music coming from that part of the world. They certainly know how to make some good happy tunes :)
Have fun with it!
PS - want to love me even more? You can download it for free along with a few other songs here
Since I’m already on a Charlie Chaplin roll today, here is one that can’t be missed.
This is his speech from The Great Dictator. Its amazing something this beautifully intense was written so long ago, but I guess at the same time there was a great abundance of amazing things in art happening.
This is scene has been mixed with the score from the film Inception. The two go together sooo perfectly, it really pacts a punch.
Enjoy!
This is a clip from the 1994 film My Girl 2.
I was a big fan of the first one, and fell absolutely in love with Anna Chlumsky when this came out (I guess I was about 9). I remember being sooo jealous when that little fucker got to kiss her at the end of the movie haha.
If you haven’t seen the film, I hope you can still enjoy this short clip with a beautiful version of Charlie Chaplin’s “Smile”.
would you drop everything for the possibility of love? if your heart's been telling you to see where this dream takes you, but your head's telling you it's never going to work, what would you do? listen to the voice whispering, "take a risk, darling", or believe the voice calling you an obsessed delusional lunatic? i tell myself time and time again to give up and let go, but it doesn't seem to be in the cards ..

What do you got if you ain’t got love? I always say to gamble everything for it, and I truly believe that if you fall in love - you should jump right in.
Lets get happy-go-lucky for a minute.
Is anyone into the whole bubblegum pop scene of the late 60’s?
Its a huge guilty pleasure of mine, and these guys are definitely inspired by that particular genre.
This is Rabbit! with their tune “Fall Into Love”
Enjoy my loves :P
This is “Here I Go” by Syd Barrett.
He is best remembered as one of the founding members of Pink Floyd, and was active as musician for only a few years, before mental problems forced him into obscurity, but he has been remarkably influential.
I really enjoy this little tune. Cool for casual listening :P
“Diamonds on the Soles of her Shoes” by Paul Simon
If you haven’t heard the album Graceland, then in my opinion you haven’t experienced life to its fullest potential yet.
This is one album I will never ever get tired of.
And just how fucking great is Ladysmith Black Mambazo? They get so into it!
To my followers,
“Always look on the bright side of life” from Monty Python
Know it, live it, teach it, feel it, understand it, remember it.
An imaginative take on John Lennon’s “Imagine”. This version really blew me away. Do you remember the way this song made you feel the first time you heard it? This version really enters that territory. Amazingly well done, I hope you all give it a listen, and pass it along.
Peace, love, and chocolate, and wine and pot…fuck its Saturday
It is here to keep it groovy. Humans seeking to understand humans. Uniting the herd. Marking points of history and creating it at the same time. To whistle a story, to hum an opinion. To heal wounded souls or to let them escape. For individual sexual selection or to detach from ones reality. A window. A signal. A gift. They're written by us all, no matter who put it to paper first. These are my Beautiful Vibrations...
