Friday Chill Out

It’s Friday, and I’ve just finished my first week back at work this year. I don’t want to do anything right now except relax with some good music. My chillout picks for this evening are below. Hope you find something new here. If anyone would like to leave recommendations in the comments below, I’ll happily follow your links to YouTube.

Have a great weekend everyone, and if I haven’t popped by your blog to say it already, Happy New Year.

PS: I will get back to posting reviews next week when I’m feeling a little less lazy.

“Houdini” – Foster the People. I didn’t hear about this band until late 2011. They’re probably my favourite music find of the last decade. Most people know their song, “Pumped Up Kicks”, but the rest of the tracks on their album, Torches, are just as good.

“Breaking my Fall” – Bressie. He’s Irish, he’s fine, he’s easy on the eyes and ears.

“Video Games” – Lana Del Rey. I love most of her stuff. She’s got an old school, big star voice. Don’t think there’s anyone else quite like her out there on the music scene these days.

“Somebody That I Used to Know” – Gotye featuring Kimbra. My favourite song of 2012. 80s style, Peter Gabriel, Kate Bush, good music, great video, just awesome.

“Into the Nightlife” – Cyndi Lauper. I saw her perform this on The Graham Norton Show a few years back and instantly fell in love with it. Makes me want to find a dark bar and go dancing.

“Friday Night” – Lily Allen. This one’s fun with a bit of attitude.

Blog Tour: The Haunting Season by Michelle Muto

I snapped this book up for my Kindle when I recently saw Michelle talking about the release of her latest book over at her blog: Michelle Muto: Paranormal Author. I had a great time reading her YA novel, The Book of Lost Souls, and couldn’t resist the spooky cover of The Haunting Season.

TheHauntingSeason

NEW RELEASE! THE HAUNTING SEASON
New Adult/Horror Recommended for readers 17+

Be careful what you let in…
Siler House has stood silent beneath Savannah’s moss-draped oaks for decades. Notoriously haunted, it has remained empty until college-bound Jess Perry and three of her peers gather to take part in a month-long study on the paranormal. Jess, who talks to ghosts, quickly bonds with her fellow test subjects. One is a girl possessed. Another just wants to forget. The third is a guy who really knows how to turn up the August heat, not to mention Jess’s heart rate…when he’s not resurrecting the dead.

The study soon turns into something far more sinister when they discover that Siler House and the dark forces within are determined to keep them forever. In order to escape, Jess and the others will have to open themselves up to the true horror of Siler House and channel the very evil that has welcomed them all.

Available now!
