Got Some Tunes [March]

Gosh there's a lot this month.


Embedding is only disabled on the Alphabeat video. A couple of the songs on this playlist do not have their official videos. When the official videos are added to youtube I will add them to this playlist. View the entire playlist on my channel here.


Alphabeat: Hole in my heart
I don't think Alphabeat will ever disappoint me with their catchy Danish tunes.

Ellie Goulding: Starry eyed (Penguin Prison ft Theophilus London)
I posted the original of this song on my first ever Got Some Tunes and I am by no means bored of it. I heard this remix and was pleasantly surprised to hear an Ellie Goulding remix not courtesy of Jakwob. Theophilus London is pretty good in this as well.

Two Door Cinema Club: Undercover Martyn
Not a massive fan of TDCC, I find that their music generally just passes me by but this track definitely stood out. I think this is their first single from the new album and if this is anything to go by, the album does not disappoint.

Cold War Kids: Audience
I pretty much love anything I hear by Cold War Kids and this is no exception. I have no idea what it is that I like so much about the band or their music but this song makes me smile every time that I hear it.

Kids In Glass Houses: Matters at all
Thank goodness that KIGH have come back with something good after the atrocity that was 'Youngblood'. This pretty much sounds like every other song they've done, catchy, emo, poppunk laid out on a plate before you.

Drake: Best I ever had (Matamatics Remix)
I hadn't actually heard this song in full before I heard this remix but after doing so I decided that I preferred this version. Drake is by far the best up and coming hiphop artist at the moment. Check it.

Audio Bullys: Only man
Since the Audio Bullys made my ears bleed with that dreadful 'I shot you down' song a few years a go I made a rule not to like them; it's just this song is so catchy.

Hadouken!: Mic check
This is a definite grower. I thought this was the worst song on the album until about the fifth listen where I decided that the sample they've used is actually used pretty well. It's a shame he shouts absolutely meaningless phrases over the top.

Major Lazer: Pon de floor
"Ladies get in line let me see your bestest wine". Brilliant song but God it gets annoying after being on repeat for about 24hours.

Rihanna: Rude boy (Wideboys Remix)
I CAN NOT FIND THIS ANYWHERE ON THE INTERNET. But I heard it on the radio and in my opinion it's a lot better than the TC remix of 'rude boy' which is also floating about.

Deaf Havana: Nicotine and alcohol saved my life
I am so glad they've decided to release this as a single. It's definitely on of the most meaningful songs on the album. Both the intro and outro are amazing. Just by the way, when searching for the video on youtube, I found a boy who has done a drum cover of this and learnt it by ear, it is SO GOOD. Watch it here

Canterbury: Gloria
This is not on their album (free to download at www.canterburythankyou.com) so I'm not quite sure where they've whipped this little ditty out from. I've also only heard it once and I'm hoping that it's a grower.

Twizzle vs GreenMoney: Skydiving
The sample used on this will get stuck in your head. Fact.

Professor Green: I need you tonight
TUNE. In my opinion the chorus could be a lot stronger but it's still a good song.
