{groove pulp} for all to hear

spreading Christmas cheer

Nothing gets you in the festive mood like a rousing round of Christmas carols. I’ve started a festive playlist on Spotify and opened it up for you to add your own seasonal tunes.

There’s a range of classic and modern songs to choose from ~ you’ll be amazed at what you will find! I’ve selected a few old, new and new-to-me songs to kick it off.

The quote above is of  course from Elf  ~ wonderful holiday movie. I think we watched it for the first time as part of our advent activities last year.

How do you prefer your Christmas tunes? Classic or with a modern twist?

And tell me, what’s your favourite Christmas carol?

{groove pulp} good morning

October 17, 2012 by · 1 Comment

swim

I started my day ridiculously early for me ~ swimming with a friend, before the sun had even come up. This little night owl is all upside down and turned around at the moment.

But I learnt two things.

  1. Doing exercise with a friend really is the best motivator.
  2. And yes, you will feel better for it.

So I’ve dedicated today’s playlist to a little morning groove. A gentle introduction, some beats to get you moving and a thoughtful prelude to start the day. Although the prescription is good for any time after breakfast, too.

Feel free to keep adding to this playlist too. I’m going to add it to the sidebar of the blog and  you can swing by and listen to new tunes whenever!

I put a call out last night for all of you to pick the playlist. And so today’s playlist is What’s your groove?

Feel free to keep adding your own tracks. The list is on Spotify and the more the merrier. I’ve already found some new grooves!

Not on Spotify ~ that’s fine. Leave me your favourite tracks or present favourites in the comments and I’ll add them to the playlist!

Find the playlist here to add your tunes.

Don’t forget to leave your faves in the comments and I’ll add them to the list!

{groove pulp} not as you know it

have a {lime green} seat

Trying, and listening to, something new today, using the Spotify app instead of 8tracks. This mix is some well-known, and perhaps lesser-known, songs performed by different artists and different ways. I do a love a rocking cover version. The Mark Ronson version of Coldplay’s God Put A Smile Upon Your Face is one of my favourite tracks at this moment.

So have a seat, grab a drink and enjoy the tunes.

We spotted this seat while out on our adventures yesterday. Isn’t it great?! I also have some shots of me sitting on it, in an effort to get in to more photos!

{groove pulp} ahoy there ~ it’s a pirate’s life

talk like a pirate day

{1} Pirates of the Caribbean cuff {2} Crochet pattern {3} Coins {4] Pirate Bay photo print 

Today is Talk Like a Pirate day {thank you internet} and feeling a little musically uninspired today, I instead turned to 8 tracks in search of something suitable.

So instead, I have this selection of sea shanties instead, quite the eclectic mix featuring a little Pirates soundtrack and … the Muppets. Couldn’t resist!

High five for hump day:

  1. Need more pirate tracks ~ go here and here
  2. To do today ~ update your Twitter profile with a header image
  3. Read blogs? Of course you do. You might be interested in the NuffnangX ~ a new way to stalk your favourite blogs
  4. Maria Popova from Brainpickings talks to Lifehacker
  5. And a cute puppy ~ just because
