Hello! August has been a fairly ‘chill’ month, it’s also been a slow month for the media in general. Film’s haven’t been favourable, television has been fairly vacant (saturday night TV starts in September, including Doctor Who), the music industry has also been fairly distant, with radio stations having the exact same playlist as they did last month. I guess this is because August is a ‘dump month’, despite the summer holidays. However, there have been some good stuff, i.e. these 10 songs which have either been released in August, come into prominence in August, or I’ve simply for some reason been listening to. 

1. Oh Wonder – Drive

2. Birdy & Rhodes – Let It All Go

3. Sigala – Easy Love

4. Bear’s Den – Above the Clouds of Pompeii

5. Prides – Running Wild

6. The Libertines – Gunga Din

7. Stereophonics – I Wanna Get Lost With You

8. Lana Del Rey – High By the Beach

9. Marina and the Diamonds – Blue (MAIZE Remix)

10. Nothing But Thieves – Trip Switch

Honorable Mentions
Jess Glynne – Don’t Be So Hard On Yourself
Calvin Harris – How Deep Is Your Love
Flor – Heart
Priory – Weekend
Pvris – St. Patrick
That’s all for now, check back on the 5th September for a ranking of the MCU Phase 2 movies!

Hello! I haven’t written a soundtrack blog post since ‘My March Soundtrack‘ as I’ve been a bit too busy with exams. Now that I’ve finished my exams, I’m back blogging again. June was a fairly hectic month for me, my exams began and ended within 2 weeks, and I had to prepare for Going Down Ball, which was my Year 13 leavers ball, where a tonne of year 12’s, year 13’s and teachers danced through the night in stupidly warm weather in a fancy posh hotel, which was indeed fun. Prior to June, May was also hectic with exam prep and leaving sixth form. However, it’s time to return to my monthly soundtrack posts, in which I list a few of my favourite songs I’ve been listening to that month, either newly released or something I’ve just ‘got back into’. 
Here are some June highlights:
 Florence headlining at Glastonbury
Rigsy’s back in Doctor Who!
Humans on Channel 4, a creepy show about Synths, with the fourth episode airing 5th July.
The Syndicate on BBC One, WHERE IS AMY?!? Final episode airing 7th July.
So, let’s get started:

1. Peanut Butter Jelly – Galantis

2. Laura Palmer (RAC Mix) – Bastille

3. HAPPY WITH ME – HolyChild

4. Famous – Charli XCX

5. Headlights – KYKO

6. West Coast (The GRADES Icon Mix) – Lana Del Rey

7. I Want You Back – Jackson 5

8. Heroes (1999 Remastered Version) – David Bowie

9. Digging Holes – Raglans

10. Future Stars – Cheerleader

 Honourable Mentions
Delilah – Florence + the Machine
Lean On (feat. MØ & DJ Snake) – Major Lazer
Cruel City – Augustines
All Those Friendly People – Funeral Suits
Moaning Lisa Smile – Wolf Alice

That’s all! See you soon!
