Finish the next single and the album

Find Toto

Errp. June is fast approaching so I’ve just managed to get this done in time for it to keep its name. 2010 is definitely in the process of being the best year of my life. May was an action-packed month including the one year anniversary of my first solo gig (thanks to everyone for celebrating with me and for all your lovely messages). Here’s to the future!

April so far has been about clearing out the cobwebs, going outside and doing the stuff you want to do. I have been walking a lot and singing a lot.

Do the things that make you happy and you can’t go far wrong.

Here is a Get Up and Go (or Happiness) themed playlist (short one this month as I’ve been busy writing, recording and sitting in the sunshine!):

Get up and Go/Springcleaning

And for those without spotify here is a tracklisting for you to search out the songs:

Here’s a very mixed playlist. It’s a bit mood-swingy (make of that what you will!).

2010 remains the best and weirdest year of all. March beat February by just a few points and April looks as if it might be even better. I cannot believe how many wonderful people there are in the world and cherish every one of you.

I hope y’all enjoy this playlist and hope you find some solace in it or find it uplifting or whatevs.

April will hold much more rock than March, I predict this therefore it will be true.

Always with a grin (and ALWAYS dancing). xx

Since I can’t sing at the moment because I’m getting laryngitis (just in time for the holidays!) you will all have to sing along extra loud to this playlist I made for you.
