Ok so you may think this is a bit random and yes it is. So I was sat watching the 2006 film Marie Antoinette which I've seen a few times and I've always loved the soundtrack a mix between classical music from the era & a kind of rocky/punky mix of songs. Some are from the eighties and some are a bit more modern I think, that info may be wrong but I'm too lazy to go check but I have fallen in love with this soundtrack its fantastic, I definitely have my favourites so I just have to share them with you -
- Hong Kong Garden (with string intro) By Siouxsie & The Banshees
- Aphrodisiac By Bow Wow Wow
- I Want Candy (Kevin Shields Remix) By Bow Wow Wow
- The Melody Of A Fallen Tree By Windsor For The Derby
- Fools Rush In (Kevin Shields Remix) By Bow Wow Wow
These tracks were the ones that personally stood out to me just because you really wouldn't expect them to be in a film about Marie Antoinette at all! But they fit perfectly with the movie and to be fair the movie is just as good worth a look! :)

Week #1
Ok so first time I've ever really done anything like this, I'm really not a music 'buff' if you get me? I won't go on about the melody and beats etc. This is purely about the music I love and for whatever reason that may be, I don't know I have this weird obsession about keeping up or ahead of the music scene, I just cannot get enough of it.
So here goes, my music obsession playlist for the past week has included;
1. The Lazy Song - Bruno Mars << it's been in my head for a couple of days, yeah ok, it's popular right now, but the video I have to say is funny, and it's a very good song if you're in an exam and you're bored!
2. Judas - Lady GaGa << Ok, I used to love her but when she came out with born this way I was like that's sh*t, but a couple of weeks ago I was feeling a bit down and a friend recommended this song to me, and I still love it! I cannot get enough of it, it's just so catchy and the I won't say this to often I don't think but they lyrics really meant a lot to me at the time - all about loving the wrong person even though there is someone 'perfect' there. Should really give it a listen sometime!
3. UNI - Ed Sheeran << just wow! He's a fairly newish artist in the British industry and this song is just amazing, got a bit of rapping well not really rapping just extremely fast singing in it but his voice is AMAZING, all of his songs and covers are excellently executed and he seems like an amazing guy too, you may be saying well how do you know that? Well go onto his website, join up for his mailing list and you a get a FREE EP, yes free, now how many artists do that?
4. The Edge of Glory (cover) - Drew Tabor << her voice is so interesting to listen to and I have to say I prefer her cover to the original, don't get me wrong you should totally check out the original as well, but her voice and the piano are a perfect match! Infact any of Drew's covers or original songs are worth a listen! >> http://www.youtube.com/user/drewby1xo
5. Superbass - Nicki Minaj << Ok, so I got so obsessed with this song that I can rap it, I think that's an achievement, I'm not too sure why I like it so much but I think it's just so catchy ok so a really good beat.
Ok so nothing to new or interesting in that line up you may be thinking but if I find any new music I'll put it up for anyone who is reading this to see.
^^ Another Drew Tabor cover which I love :), and Lady GaGa tweeted it to her fans 'cause even she loved it that much!
