    Thank you for posting these videos. I love music too but since I don't have satellite radio I am always listening to the top 40 (which I love) but I never get to branch out. So excited to listen to these songs.

    "Royals" and "The Wire" would be on my song list too along with Ginny Blackmore's "Bones" and One Direction's "Story of My Life" and practically every Taylor Swift song ever though only "Sweeter Than Fiction" was released in 2013.

    I'm so excited that you get to see The National!!! & in Australia!!! If you can - try to get close to the front - Matt always walks around the crowd.

    I loved so many of your picks too.

    I'll pick one that surprised me - Alt-J. I HATED them at first lol but now I can't stop listening. I also heard an interview where they explained the background to a lot of their songs and that made them even better.

    Happy New Year Alison!

    I know most of your single songs, because I have a weird habit of ALWAYS downloading the free single on iTunes - no matter what it happens to be! So I have discovered Haim, CHVRCHES, Bastille and The Mowglis that way! Also, I like to just stroll around YouTube and see if I can find new stuff to listen to. Great list, you've given me a few to look up Alison! :D

    I LOVE Pompeii and Royals, but a lot of the others are new to me. I'll have to bookmark this post and come back. Thanks for the recommendations! I love finding new music to listen to. :)
