The End of One European Chapter, the Beginning of Another

At this moment in time I have been living in Vienna for over 10 months, and like with any experience, this one is coming to an end. I've done my time, I've enjoyed my time and I have collected so many memories, it's going to be extremely hard to leave this beautiful city and all the amazing people I have shared this experience with. Funnily enough I had never intentionally wanted to live in Vienna, but winded up coming here as the closest and most prospective alternative to Prague. Now that I have spent so long here, Vienna has grown on me and I can scratch it onto my list of favourite European cities, right below Prague. Its certainly been real :)

Press pLAy : Death Cab for Cutie


Death Cab for Cutie's latest album Codes and Keys is definitely full of tracks that you have to sieve through your mind to understand, but overall its like their other albums, which is: Something you wanna be listening to!

Here's a story I made up with their song titiles, just for kicks:

You are a Tourist with Unobstructed Views sitting Underneath the Sycamore on Monday Morning watching Portable Television next to St Peters Cathedral with its Doors Unlocked and Open because Home is a Fire and thoughts of Some Boys with their Codes and keys screaming Stay Young, Go Dancing! makes you just want to listen to Death Cab for Cutie and forget all the bullsh*t.

Haha, with that said Press pLAy :) Good album, good sound!

Press pLAy : Brooke Fraser


This New Zealander's 2010 album Flags is the answer to any doubts you have about a country where sheep and rugby rule. It's soft brilliance and easy to listen to. Brooke Fraser knows how to blend feeling and sound to just the right amount. It's got a serious hippie vibe, but i like. Peace and love.

Awesome tracks include:
* Something in the Water
* Coachella
* Here's to You

Press pLAy : The Naked and Famous


Looking for some indie chilled music, then Passive Me, Aggressive You from The Naked and Famous is a good choice.

Best Tracks on the album include:
* Young Blood
* No Way
* Jilted Lovers

Overall its one of those albums that is best to listen to when chilling with some friends or on a crazy roadtrip. This music just blends into whatever scene you want it to.
Give indie a chance,

Press pLAy : David Guetta


What can't this guy do? David Guetta's latest offering is Where dem' Girls At? featuring Nicki Minaj and Flo Rida. This song is super awesome and you'd be missing out if you havent heard it yet. Nicki Minaj adds some of her unique flavour to the song with some rap verses. The song is fast and a sure club hit.

Check it out and Press pLAy :)

Press pLAy : Alexandra Stan


Alexandra Stan hits us with Mr. Saxobeat, an upbeat dance track that started out it's success in Romania of all places. This song is currently playing on all major European radio stations and its super catchy. Makes you wanna get out there and dance! The music video is also worth watching.

Press pLAy :)
