Songs of the Month

It’s officially summer now, and the songs I’ve listened to this month have generally been stereotypical summery pop songs or dance tracks.  Here are my favourites that I’ve added to my iTunes in June: Adam and the Ants – “Stand and Deliver” An 80s classic, with a guitar riff that is classic, I’m amazed that it took me this long to find this song.  It’s upbeat and fun throughout, with a touch of flamboyance thrown in for good measure.  You can’t listen to this song — Read more →
