Playlist: Tunes for Week 43/52

When you consider how pro-girl power I am, it's ironic that my favourite bands and artists have rarely consisted of female vocalists. I'm so pleased that in the last year or so, gutsy female artists with some substance have moved to the forefront of indie-rock and pop. (Manufactured pop is so 2004.) I've even been lucky enough to see the vast majority of these artists over the last few months!

Whilst they aren't all new, here are a few of my current favourite lady-led tracks xx

1. I Can Hardly Make You Mine / Cults
2. Head Is Not My Home / MS MR
3. Send Me Down / HAIM
4. Waste Of Time / MØ
5. Manic Baby / The Preatures
6. Future Starts Slow / The Kills
7. Help Me Lose My Mind / London Grammar & Disclosure
8. Oblivion / Grimes
9. Water Me / FKA twigs
10. VCR / The XX

Leeds Festival 2013: Photoset

Hola! I'm finally rested and recuperated after five nights camping at Leeds Festival. I simply cannot fathom how the clouds over just one city can hold so much rain! The whole festival and camping field was one big mud pit - definitely not an experience I will forget in a hurry.

I caught so many incredible bands and artists over the three festival days, I would be here forever if I tried to list them all - some of my favourite acts included Eminem (because he is my king), Fall Out Boy (because they are my guilty pleasure favourite band), Disclosure and HAIM.

I had some difficulty keeping a steady camera, particularly later on in the evenings, so I don't have the most extensive photoset for you all. You'll find but a few of my festival highlights below (/sets where my phone was charged) and more on my instagram which you can find here.

I'm spending the rest of the next week in London before venturing off to Bali for some soul-searching and R&R time!

I will have another post for you within the next week, much love and light to y'all xxxx
