Think of England

by Bear’s Den off their debut album Islands. So I was listening to BBC Radio1 when Greg James, superbly awesome DJ extraordinaire plays this song that sounds a little like Snow Patrol and the Lumineers all wrapped into a neat little trio of British musical brilliance. Take a listen… What do you think? Please share!! And click the album cover below to take a listen to the entire album. -TL-

Rambling About: The Visceral Tuneage of Beacon

The best music is music that can make you think as well as feel, sounds that are as visceral as they are cerebral. And the best love songs are those that acknowledge that the power of human sexuality can be just as terrifying as it is thrilling, that the passion that leads us to love can also lead us into dark, dark places. – Ghostly International Uhmm, yeah! Love that description. Don’t you? If you read this blog, you know I love “moody” music that makes me want to put the headphones on, crank

So I found this amazing song…

This song was featured at the end of last week’s episode of Reign. First of all – if you haven’t seen that show, you must check it out. It’s historical intrigue and debauchery at it’s finest. Think The Tudors for teens with a love triangle that’s crazy good. Not to mention some awesome music. It’s cool to hear some of my favorite artists like London Grammar, Gabrielle Aplin and Florence & The Machine have songs featured in various episodes. So back to Active Child and the video.

Sharing Some Love for “I See Fire”

I’m a little late posting this…. But still wanted to share some new music love for one of my favorite artists Ed Sheerann. (By the way – thanks to BBC Radio Scotland -- I knew of Ed Sheeran in 2011 -- waaaay before he was being played on US stations and started touring with Taylor Swift. Check out my Ed Sheeran Brit Artist of the Week blog post from February 2012.) So I was super excited to hear his new track “I See Fire” played on BBC1 a few weeks ago. This song will be featured in the latest

The 1975

Uhmmmm – I love this self titled album by the UK group The 1975!! They’ve got a fun, indie-pop sound with catchy beats you’ll want to put on shuffle and crank up the volume. There are sixteen tracks and I like just about every single one. You can listen to most of the album on their SoundCloud, but here’s one of my favorite tracks. (I had a hard time picking just one!!) This is… Settle Down. Do you like? They're touring the US!! Go to their site and you can get a free download of You and see the

Talk to me and watch me crumble, You will see me come undone. (Lyrics from Help Me Lose My Mind by Disclosure) I totally missed posting this last Tuesday…. The official release day for Disclosure’s awesome single, Help Me Lose My Mind featuring London Grammar. (And if you’ve been paying attention to this blog, you’d know that London Grammar happens to be one of my favorite groups – check out the post I did on them here.) Soooooo…I love this song!! It’s got catchy drum riffs and synthesizer

Song of the Week Featuring Gabrielle Aplin’s The Power of Love

Thank you BBC1 for turning me on to yet another amazing British artist. This time it’s solo artist Gabrielle Aplin with the song The Power of Love. Seriously – both the song and video are chill-inducing. What the heck is chill-inducing you ask? It’s when you have chills up your arms because it’s THAT freakin’ good. What I love so much about the song - coupled with the beautifully captivating videography and Gabrielle’s amazing voice - is how it captures the essence of being in love. A raw, all
