Day 24 (25 🫣) - song of the year
As soon as I finished listening to this song for the first time, a part of me knew no other 2024 song would top this one. I kid you not, I clapped when it was over. Marvellous stuff.

Day 23 - gig of the year
Seeing Pendulum @ The O2 in London was living a childhood dream of mine, as I grew up listening to much of their material for years.
Better still, the tickets themselves didn't cost a penny! Leave a comment if you want to find out why… 😌

Day 22 - fav cover version
All caught up now!
I've actually gone off the original more and more over time, especially when such a fab cover version exists. Mark & Amy truly make the song their own and it doesn't surprise me it's the version people flock to more.

Day 19 - artist I'd have play at my wedding
Nile Rodgers & Chic would be the all-round option, for a mixture of slow love songs and upbeat dance tunes to get everyone dancing.
I also considered current-era Clairo, as her and her live band would add some extra class.

Day 15 - band that makes me cry the most
Music doesn't make me cry very often at the best of times. However, earlier this year when I was at a pretty low point, Radiohead was the band I went to most when I needed to let those emotions out.

Day 14 (a day late - again) - fav song released this decade
This was such a difficult one to decide…
From the moment I first heard this song, I could sense it would be a classic in the Monkeys discog. Alex's vocals are possibly the best they've ever sounded here 🥹.
