Musical Mondays: 1st Edition

I have a really short attention span. I'm convinced I have ADD, but I'm pretty sure my parents are in denial of this fact and have always refused to get me checked out, despite my pleas. When it comes to blogging, I have an even shorter attention span than expected. Don't get me wrong, I love blogging but I find it hard to sit here and crank out some decent blog posts. There's always that really cute video of pugs on Youtube wrestling that just can't wait to be watched later, almost as if the Internet gods are going to pull the insanely adorable video off the Internet forever if I do not watch it now. Pathetic, I know, but that is literally my logic when it comes to these things.

But I found that music really helps keep me on track. I'm able to sit at my desk and start cranking out blog posts like it's nobody's business. Granted, if I know the lyrics to the song, I probably will spend more time singing along using my powder brush as my microphone, and even if I don't know the lyrics, I'll google them and sing along. But eventually the blogging gets done, and then I'm left with the feeling of accomplishment. Isn't that great? Of course it is!

So starting from this moment onwards, I'm going to call Mondays "Musical Mondays", mainly because Monday is the day I normally type out the blog posts for the week, so I need some gnarly tunes to write to. So here is what is on my playlist for this week! (With links included so you can check out the songs!)

• We Are Young (feat. Janelle Monae)- fun.
• Little Bit- Lykke Li
• Settle Down- Kimbra (i'm obsessed with this music video, and kimbra herself actually)
• Pumped Up Kicks- Foster the People
• All Of The Lights (Ellie Goulding x Kanye West x Portland Cello Project) - The Hood Internet
• Mr. Saxobeat- Alexandra Stan
• Somebody That I Used To Know- Gotye feat. Kimbra
• Anna Sun- Walk the Moon
• Shake It Out- Florence + The Machine

Sometimes I amaze myself with how indie I can be. Craaaazy!
