My Top 40 Songs of 2014

 Steven Kellow    Music  

I think out of almost anything, it’s the music from a year that really defines it and makes that one individual year stick out from those around it to me, and what a year this has been for music!  There have been so many good songs, and albums even, that have played around me throughout what has been an important and memorable year. This list is largely dominated by my favourite artists of this year: Porter Robinson, Clean Bandit and the amazing CHVRCHES.  For the — Read more →

My Top 10 Christmas Songs

When December begins, it’s time to dust off the old Christmas songs and let them be shuffled along with the rest of my iTunes library.  It’s a shame that these songs are confined to only a month of the year, with most of them being able to bring some cheer no matter what sort of day you’re having, but in the same vein it’s hard to enjoy a song singing of snow and Christmas cheer in the heat of July!

 Steven Kellow    Music  

The Magician – “Sunlight (feat. Years & Years)” For October, this song is a little on the nostalgia side – as what is an uplifting, light and cheery song reminds you of the summer just past as you suffer the night drawing in and the temperatures plummeting.  It’s simple and it’s catchy and makes for a good song to start the day. CHVRCHES – “Get Away” Part of Radio 1’s re-score of the art house cult classic Drive, “Get Away” is CHVRCHES’ first new single — Read more →
