Wow! Looking at this, it’s quite a reminder of how small we all are individually. Some fantastic editing from the Google team to bring the highlights of 2012 to 2 minutes and 46 seconds, backed up by Kodaline’s All I Want. What a fantastic achievement.

Download: Allie Bradley – Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
I just had to share this with you, we’ve been getting used to people doing Christmas covers and putting their own stylings on them since, well, forever. This cover by Belfast’s Allie Bradley is something quite special and features a fantastic vocal performance. She takes this Christmas classic and makes it into a track and performance many top female vocalists would kill to have in their repertoire. Must check out more of her material! -
Solange: Losing You – Live on Jimmy Kimmel
I remember being a kid and watching American television, yeah, Charlie’s Angels and the like. I also remember watching soul music acts being kinda suave and sophisticated. It was all typically late seventies. Then I saw this Solange doing Losing You on Jimmy Kimmel. Suave, sophisticated and each member of the band with co-ordinated dance moves. Mind blown. Alongside Big Sis B, these Knowles sisters are quite the talented bunch eh?.If you don’t want to watch the advert, you can look at the video on YouTube, The one above is better quality though.

Download: Skylab – Phoenix Calling
I’m feeling in quite an upbeat mood today so this has been perfect to dance to. It’s Skylab with Phoenix Calling. Skylab are from Amsterdam and apart from that, that’s all I know really. They’ve got some more free downloads on Soundcloud.Their biography states:
SKYLAB is all about the feeling to discover new places, new friends, wherever and whatever they may be. The funky magic of the music will be with you on this journey. We are not just a band; we’re a movement, a lifestyle. We don’t talk a lot. We look each other in the eye to know we belong. Mind you; this will not be accessible to everyone; you have to be ready to travel both back and forth in time and as far as necessary. Our people can never be found at one place for too long. We move. The only goal is to experience the feeling which can best be described by a 70’s beachparty in the south of France, somewhere on a secret planet in space. Everybody is beautiful. There will be no hate, because it doesn’t exist. There will be no past and no future, because they will be one. If you are puzzled and confused by these words; just follow us and we’ll show you the way. We are SKYLAB.Ok… All you really need to know? They make some great tunes.
