Songs for Spring

Welcome back, warm weather! I'm so chuffed about the springtime; it's been sunny and 25 degrees here, and I am ready and waiting to break out my sandals and sundresses. Unfortunately, spring brings some pretty bad flooding around here, which means that getting to class has turned into a small adventure. Here's my usual path to campus:

Just your usual walk/swim to class. 

In other news, good weather means more walking around, so I've been listening to a mix of very upbeat, spring-timey songs, and I thought I'd share a few.

HIGHS - Summer Dress

HIGHS are a great new Canadian band who just came out with their first self-titled LP. Looking forward to hearing more good music from them in the future.

Janelle Monáe - Dance Apocalyptic

I've been ever so slightly obsessed with Janelle Monáe for the past year - she's brilliantly talented, and unafraid to speak her mind. Her rap at the end of Q.U.E.E.N. is one of my favourites, but Dance Apocalyptic is the song that I just can't get out of my head.

Chlöe Howl - Paper Heart

Chlöe Howl is a new artist from the UK who will be releasing her first album later this year. Paper Heart is the second single she's released, and it's pretty darn catchy.

Happy spring, and good luck on finals! :)
