Playlist: Music for my Youth

I've had a bit of a shitty week and for some reason unbeknownst to me; whenever I'm feeling low, I get really nostalgic and wish for times when I was all young and care free and disco dancing with a Jack and Coke in one hand and a cigarette in the other.... I was young- I didn't understand that it's not a win! I just wanted to do some disco dancing and kiss a boy. Now I'm married, the cigarettes are gone and yoga is in. I have replaced disco dancing with baking and a Jack Daniels for a Gin and Tonic. But for today I am 18 again and I am dancing around my kitchen to these treats; partying like its 2006...



(This is me circa 2006, the only picture I have from then really I think... I can't remember who I was talking to and I forgot my boobies were ever that brilliant...ahhh youth)

Hey Scenesters- The Cribs
Hounds of Love- The Futureheads
Beating Hearts Baby- Head Automatica
An Honest Mistake- The Bravery
Date with the Night- Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Daft Punk is Playing in My House- LCD Soundsystem
Club Foot- Kasabian
Fake Tales of San Francisco- Arctic Monkeys
Last Night- The Strokes
Naive- The Kooks

  6. Hi, bless you, this post took me back.
    God can you remember Panic at the Disco? Lol it was on all the time in my first year and that Beating heart baby one.
    Yeah but now you have the most fantabulous makeup collection, wisdom, a pug dog and all those wonderful memories.
    I write things in my diary like ring the water rates, take washing out! Instead of which gig or party I'm going to lol.

    Oh forgot to mention, I so can't handle late nights now and JD, serious hangover if ever attempted now.
