M.m.m.music

Here are some nice songs, in no particular order, which will either
a) drive you insane if you don't like them
or b) help keep one sane in the midst of Trials study/Trials

Lisa Mitchell - Coin Laundry
Australian Idol prejudices aside, Lisa Mitchell sings very pretty ditties (can't believed i just wrote ditties, ah well). Also, I quite like the video clip for this song (which may have something to do with the fact that it has johnny flynn in it!)



Laura Marling and Johnny Flynn - Travel Light

So Laura Marling needs no introduction (she's only 19! argh, I feel like I should be making more of my young life when I contemplate people like her), but Johnny Flynn may need some backgrounding...
Short bio: English, 25 (?), an actor, singer, songwriter, poet, graduated from the same school as Lily Allen and Patrick Woolf, part of the same nu-folk crowd as aforesaid L. Marling. very cute. yup.




The Middle East - Blood

sublime.



last but not least... token Scandanavian group

Marching Band - Travel in Time

I liked JF right up until he started singing. Not sure that song does him any credit either though XD

she's so whimsical
& that set for "coin laundry" must have been interesting to set up

@ Imo:i'll add one more LOVE to that, for emphasis.
@ d. read: yeah, try listening to his own songs - it might be the lisa mitchell syndrome: when she sings covers (a la Australian Idol) i can't stand her voice but for her own songs and musical style, its perfect.
@ jet: :)
@ louis: apparently a real coin laundry in England was used for the set and the locals had to hang around waiting with their dirty clothes while the crew filmed.
