It's just another manic Friday!

I am not sure who first came up with the idea that Friday's were meant to be a relaxing day at work - I can fully vouch for the fact that that is not true at all, well at least not if today is anything to go by anyway! This week has been a particularly crazy one at work, and at times it has literally been only the fact I've had good music to listen to that has kept my sanity within reasonable boundaries.

So what do we have for you today?

Well, these tracks are all ones that remind me of good times, for one reason or another. I hope you enjoy them and that you've been having a slightly more relaxing week than myself.

First up, this track is a fantastic one from REM - possibly one of my favourites of theirs. It has a really edgy feel to it, and whenever I hear it, no matter where I am, I always stop to take a moment and remember the good times I've had while this track has played in the past. This was off their album 'Up', and I love it!

Next up, we have a fantastic track from Hot Chip - this has a great melody, a good vocal, and always puts a smile on my face.

Next up, another band I love as much as Hot Chip, this is The Black Ghosts. Fake Blood is one half of this talented duo, and I've listened to their self titled album so many times that by rights I should be sick of it now, but it still sounds as good as ever. This is the haunting 'I Want Nothing', and it's just awesome.

Next up, we have a gorgeously complex track from Sigur Ros - it's a very ambient track, which makes wonderful use of an attention grabbing vocal, and the fantastic melody of the different layers within the music. Fantastic stuff!

Now it's time for something a little more uplifting to get you in the mood for what we hope will be a gorgeous hot and sunny weekend! This is the Brookes Brothers remix of Crazy World, by J Majik and Wickaman and it's awesome! Such an immense tune, I love it! It's quite an old track now, but it definitely has those summer time vibes in a big way! What a perfect way to finish a Friday of work after a very hectic and crazy week, and start the weekend in style!

Enjoy your weekend everyone, catch you next week!
