Songs of the Moment
Today we are doing a casual blog and I am sharing a few songs I have been listening to. Just a handful of tunes that I have been enjoying that I would like to share with you. Nothing too complicated, just a few fun tunes to enjoy in these dark December days. What have you…

Music Collection
A music collection? Yes, a music collection. Before makeup, before shoes, before books, my first love was and has always been music. It is my longest running collection and I thought it would be fun (and definitely something different!) to share it with you. So that is what today’s video is all about. A bit…

Music ABC 2.0
Since October was one of the worst months for reading again this year, I figured than instead of a post about books, I could share some music with you again. The other week I finally went through my playlists and added tons of new songs, which inspired me to create a new Music ABC playlist.…

R&B tunes that melt my heart
It’s been ages since I last posted a blog on music, but my love for music has never wavered. I have just felt greatly uninspired by what’s out there. I am still trying to find new music, but pickings are scarce and it feels like I have heard everything before. Which is why, recently, I…

Bands @ Best Kept Secret I hope to see
Tomorrow will see the beginning of Best Kept Secret festival. And I’m going! It will be my second time and I’m fully prepared. I have a tent, a matte and a sleeping bag, so I’m all set for 3 days of sun, fun and music. Because music is the reason I’m going. Here are my…

Tuned up Thursday: Music ABC – G
Remember that I like an array of different music? Well today’s post will proof just that. From a golden oldie, to elektro house, commercial dance, singer songwriter and one of the best tracks from one of the best albums ever made, this post showcases a neat division of the type of music I listen to.…

Music ABC – B
To get through the entire alphabet (and numbers) I’m gonna have to make 27 of these posts. That means, that even if I were to post one of these every single week, it would take me at least 6 months to get through. And since I also want to do my songs of the week…

Music ABC – A
I had been considering sharing my all time favorite songs with you, but since there are so many, I never knew how to format it. Then, I came across a blog randomly (I forgot which one) where the owner went through her favorite music according to the alphabet. Not by artist, no by song. And…

Song(s) of the week #1
Music is one thing that literally makes my world go round, so when it comes to daily posts, I’ve decided that music needs a regular spot on the blog. My aim is to have a music related blog post once a week. Where I already have a regular blog post entitled Music of the Moment,…

My favorite Backstreet Boys songs
Let’s take a break from all the indie music that usually makes up my music related posts. Let’s have a look at some of my favorite songs by a group who played a major role in my life for more than 13 years. I’m taking about Backstreet Boys of course. When you’ve been a fan…

New albums I’ve been loving
It’s been a while since I’ve actually written anything on music on here. My last post featured albums from 2013 that I found needed a bit more love. But since the new year began, plenty of music has been released already. I bought a few albums in the past few weeks and so far I’ve…

2013 albums still worth a listen
Every year so much new music is released and there are always a few things that slip through my fingers. Add in the fact that some albums are released so late in the year that I hardly have a chance to listen to them and every January I find myself thinking: hey this album is…

Favorites of 2013: Music
2013 has not been a good year for me when it comes to music. It’s not that nothing good came out, on the contrary. I just didn’t have enough time to enjoy it all. I went to just a handful of concerts this year and have yet to sort through 1000 songs which I’ve downloaded…

My votes for end of year music lists
Another music related bonus post this week! I have been voting up a storm for the end of year lists which are going round and I thought I’d share two of them: song of the year 2013 by 3voor12 and the Top2000 of Radio 2. Both are Dutch contests and I thought it would be…

Summer Music Festivals: Rock Werchter & Pukkelpop
To get the ultimate summer feeling all one has to do is visit a music festival. Provided the weather is nice, it simply doesn’t get better than lying in a grassy field while listening to some great music. I went to my first multi-day festival last year and liked it so much that I went…

Bands I hope to see at Pukkelpop
Pukkelpop is a Belgian music festival that I went to last year as well. That was my first ever summer music festival that lasted more than just a day. I had been to my fair share of concerts, but music festivals were not so much my thing. Music however is, so it was only a…

My summer jam: Bibio – Silver Wilkinson
You probably know how I love to discover new music and today I would like to share with you music by one particular artist that instantly makes your day a little bit brighter and summer just a tad nearer. I present to you: Bibio. I have been purchasing quite a few CDs these past few…

Rediscovered favorite songs
These past week I’ve been too busy to get a good grasp of any of the new music that has been coming out. I haven’t checked any of my trusty indieplaylists since late March and to be honest: I haven’t felt like it one bit. What I tend to do when I am feeling a…

Old House Music
Let’s talk music again shall we. If you read my blogs than you will know that I’m mostly digging folky/ bluesy indierock bands or loopy indiepop with the occasional singer/songwriter thrown in the mix. Apart from that I also dig 80s new wave, 60s beat music, 70s rock, Motown, doo wop, 90s bubble gum pop,…

Road Trip Music
I love listening to music while I’m on the go, but some music just makes for a better travel companion than others. This post is on my top picks of songs that make me want to hit up highways in a car with an open top. It just makes me wish that I actually had…

Shuffle Your Playlist
A few weeks ago, Janske posted a blog where she had randomly posted 10 songs. These 10 songs had been picked by her Ipod while on shuffle and she got quite a few songs that she actually didn’t listen to much at this moment. Currently, I am working my way through the 2888 songs on…

Upcoming concerts
Recently I have been planning a bunch of concerts again. I haven’t been going much in the past year or so as I didn’t really have the time or because nothing fun was coming my way. Now, however, I have found a bunch of cool concerts to go to and I would like to share…

Cool band: Bravestation
Today I would like to talk music again. I know I’ve said this before, but what usually happens to me is that I will be listening to a song for a while and then suddenly I’ll hear a song by the same band, like it too and end up looking into more stuff. That is…

SXSW – Free songs
On March 13th one of the largest music festivals in the world, SXSW, started again. As a musician it’s an honor to play there and many artists get picked up by record companies and the like. It is a very versatile festival with not only indie artists, but also some hip hop and dance oriented…

Happy song
Don’t you just love songs that make you happy? You know the ones that just put a smile on your face? Yep, those are the ones I’m talking about. The song that currently does this for me is Don McLean’s American Pie. I know that this song is about death and an by gone era…

Cool Band: The Joy Formidable
Just the other day I realized how I have a few songs by The Joy Formidable floating around some of my playlists and then I noticed how I like every single one of those songs. That is why I would like to introduce you to: The Joy Formidable. The Joy Formidable are by no means…

Current Favorite Songs January 2012
It’s been A-G-E-S since I last wrote a blog on my current favorite songs. The main reason for it being that I hadn’t been able to sort through my newly downloaded songs due to time constraints. Sure I wrote about a few bits and bobs here and there, but I hadn’t gone over my trusty…

Music to dance to
A little over a month ago I wrote a post about my favorite work out songs. Since I dance and generally work out to music there are plenty of songs that I could list here. However, these are the last two songs I’ve been dancing to at dance class and I’ve had both on repeat…

Favorite work out songs
You will never find me working out on a treadmill or anything like that. I have tried it, did some elliptical and rowing machines but as enthusiastic as I might be about it for about a week, that’s how much I hate it later on. Regular gym routines are not for me, which is why…
