i lie.

 

i normally have at least 10 essentials, with maybe more. sometimes i have 15. sometimes i have 20. this week i have 19. this is because i have 19 songs this week that i would consider to be essential. i do not have a 20th song i would consider to be essential. that is why i have 19 essentials this week. they are all essential.

Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart has been essential for the last two months -_-

 

no ESC stuff, have you been following none of the national finals :(

It didn't PROPERLY click with me until this week :(

 

And no, with Spotify as my only source of new music at the moment it's been difficult :o :(

ridiculous :( I loved it on first listen, and I mean IMMENSE love :heart: such a stunning song

 

may I recommend the most Tyron-esque song I can find this year so far to you then - the Icelandic finalist, Je Ne Sais Quoi by Hera Bjork;

 

 

oh, and the MGP entry from Mira Craig, 'I'll Take You High' warrants your attention also;

 

The Crown Jewels go to:

Thanks for all the replies etc. :heart:

did you listen to Hera and Mira yet?

Thanks to WebSense (aka BANE OF MY LIFE) I only have Spotify as a source for new music at the moment :( They've only uploaded a few songs from the first two heats I think (I'm currently quite enjoying Make My Day ^_^).

oh dear :( Make My Day is far from the strongest MGP entry this year...you have a lot of catching up to do!

Well, I did have to wait until about this weekend last year until I could download the MGP album, so this could become an annual thing :funky: I'm looking forward to hearing A1, Mira and Didrik from the sounds of reviews so far...

 

are you restricted to tracks that are in the current chart?

Not entirely (hence the inclusion of The Knife, Yeasayer, Slagsmålsklubben, Dust In Gravity amongst others), but most of the stuff in there I reckon would be classified as being either in the chart atm or a future release...
