Still Chillin’

So, I’m still chillin’. As I said last time, I’ve got 4G and a phone signal everywhere here so if you need me, or want to check a date, just get in touch.

Here’s a few more tracks from the soundtrack to our break in Fueretventura.

The really great thing is that (so far) we’ve not been bombarded with the usual Christmas music. We’ve also seen some great local musicians playing live.

We’ve got a TV in our room and I’m absolutely loving the BBC’s Christmas video with the school girl and her dad – great message and great to hear this track again! Clean Bandit are so clever – this is the tune of Christmas for me this year.

Another of our favourite bars is Reef on the front in Corralejo CLICK HERE. On one of our visits they were playing some tracks by a guy called Donavon Frankenreiter, he’s a protégée of Jack Johnson and also reminded us of John Mayer. A few tracks stood out including “Pass It Around”, “A Little Bit Of Riddim” and this one ~ “Bend In The Road”

I’ve also listened to a few more old episodes of Desert Island Discs including Ed Sherran’s from earlier this year. It’s well worth a listen CLICK HERE The one track Ed put above all the rest was Nizlopi “Flooded Quarry”. He explains how he became their guitar tech and the huge influence they’ve had on his career. I only knew them for the JCB song so it was interesting to hear Ed’s story. Here’s a video of Nizlopi doing “Flooded Quarry” at The Joiners!

Perfect for still chilling’ to is “Breath” by Télépopmusik. This was the debut single from the French dance music act and features guest vocals by Angela McCluskey. If you look very carefully you won’t see me in this video.

I’m still chillin’ for a few more days so maybe there’ll be another post.
