Benjamin Francis Leftwich - 'Atlas Hands' 18/03/2013

Admittedly i watch a LOT of bad TV, currently i'm making my way through Gossip Girl for the second time, do not judge me.

One show that's blown me away this year is 'Catfish', shown on MTV it is based on the film of the same name and it's absolutely amazing! I'm not going to go through the ins and outs of the show or movie, all i can say is watch it, but i will warn you if you do you will start to believe everyone on the internet is not who they say they are... scary thought, but sadly this is internet-reality.

 Now i don't know about you guys, but when i watch a show and a song comes on that sounds quite good i'll Google it straight away. This is how i came across this song 'Atlas Hands' by Benjamin Francis Leftwich (what a tongue twister), it's a folk like song with some beautiful guitar notes in. Usually i play this song when i'm walking somewhere as cheesy as that sounds, but you know you have your going out songs and winding down songs and heck i even make a workout playlist, well this song is in a playlist i like to name 'Just good music' on my Spotify.

Have a listen, what playlist would you add this song to?

St. Patricks Day Pick! Steve Earle - 'Galway Girl' 17/13/2013

Happy St Patrick's Day to you all! Hope you're not too drunk to see this, i'm sober but i'm so excited to start the festivities today...mainly getting many a traditional Jamesons and Ginger Ales!



I am an Irish girl, i know, i know everybody says that on St Patrick's Day. Born in Dundalk, my name is Rosaleen Mary Majella Marmion, i am super pale, hair is black and my eyes are blue (which explains the song pick) the proof is right there! My accent is Mancunian and my home is Manchester, now to be Irish in Manchester is great, this town has one of the best St Patrick's day parades around every year, Cheetham Hill and Levenshulme are the places to be if you want to discover Irish culture.

Today i am off to The Irish World Heritage Centre in Cheetham Hill to see the parade, this is a great event, it's always super busy and everyone is in high spirits, not to mention everyone dresses up in green and there are many silly hats! Every year i go to this parade and every year i come home with the best stories to tell!

So the song for today HAS to be Galway Girl, 'hair is black and her eyes are blue' i like to think this is me in the song, cheesy maybe, but i don't care :)

To get even more girly on you today, i picked the you tube video which has the 'PS.i love you' video playing, mainly because of Gerard Butler, swoon, but also because shock horror... i like the film too!

Enjoy...
