Yep, after a long winter spent between Mount Buller, Jindabyne and New Zealand I am home and straight back on the tools. I flew in from NZ about two weeks ago and the very next day I was on the job site to resume my apprenticeship.
Not much interesting has occured in these past two weeks. Aside from work I have been trying to catch up with as many freinds as possible and managed to sneak up to Buller this weekend for one last shred and to watch the AFL final [and celebrate the result] with some good freinds [even though none of us support either side].
In the next few months before I return to the winter world [The Northern Winter] there will be very little on the snowboarding front to report. Never fear as I will continue to post about anything eventful or interesting that you [my loyal readers, whom I am almost certain consist only of my Mum] may find interesting. So I thought I might start now by posting my snowboarding playlist from this season.
I am pretty passionate about music. That said I am not musical at all. However one of my favourite things to do is trade music with freinds and maybe share or stumble across something new and exciting. So I hope that using this forum you might find something you like. These are some of my favourite songs from the past few months including some new tracks along with some old favourites.
-Under the Sheets - Chiddy Bang
All of you have probably heard of these guys buy now, they are amazing! This is off their Air Swell Mixtape and samples Ellie Goulding's song by the same name [love her voice].
-Crave You - Flight Facilities feat. Gizelle
This is an incredible song from a few months back. When Nate first heard it in NZ it was on repeat for weeks and weeks.
-Daylight [Ninjasonik Remix] - Matt & Kim
Got to love good hip hop remixes of already great songs.
-Work - Gang Starr
This song inspires me, and it just so happens to be one of the best hip hop beats in history. The MC of Gang Starr died earlier this year. R.I.P. Guru
-Evil Woman [feat ELO] - Hoodie Allen w/ Mike Posner
This is such a cool song, I think it helps that it samples ELO.
-Cudder Is Back - Kid Cudi feat. Vampire Weekend
Two of my favourite artists Kid Cudi and Vampire Weekend. It can't get much better.
-I Need A Dollar - Aloe Blacc
How To Make It In America is one of my favourite TV shows at the moment, and this is the theme song which happens to be pretty incredible.
-Heard It Through The Grapevine [Xaphoon Jones Remix] - Marvin Gaye
Xaphoon Jones is the A.K.A. of Noah, the producer from Chiddy Bang. Xaphoon does really epic remixes and mash ups, this is one of my favourites.
-Worse it Gets [RAC Mix] - Penguin Prison
For some reason I feel this would be a good summer roadtrip song, will have to wait and see.
-Who Do You Love - Museum of Bellas Artes
The sounds that make up this song are odd, but somehow work... its just a simple and fun track.
If you have'nt worked it out already you can click on the titles to listen to/view the songs on YouTube. Enjoy! If I get good feedback, who knows, maybe I might post again when I get some new tunes I'm excited about.
