Two Sides to... Jo: January playlist

January playlist

Hope you all had a fantastic weekend. Mine was pretty wet. It rained non-stop in Sydney - from Saturday night onwards and didn't stop til Tuesday afternoon. As a result, parts of Queensland and NSW are currently affected from flooding. Please send your thoughts and prayers to those affected. Because of my wet weekend, I didn't do much except reading (latest Monocle mag) and listening to some tunes.

Thanks to Triple J's hottest 100 (annual Australian music countdown), I fell in love with Macklemore & Ryan Lewis. My favourite being Same Love (#15). alt-J is a recent favourite and Breezeblocks (#3) has been on repeat. A friend introduced me to Rachael Yamagata and I have been you-tubing her videos since. Try Even if I don't. Lastly I have been a big fan of local band The Griswolds ever since they won the Unearthed competition. Check out The Courtship of Summer Preasley - it's one my favourites.

Happy Mid-week!

And thanks for sharing these videos! I LOVE Macklemore & Ryan Lewis. They're seriously amazing. Same Love is awesome but I would definitely suggest listening to the entire album. It's so good!; January 31, 2013 at 2:19 PM
