Playlist for the Week #16 {05/08 - 11/08}

MONDAY: Breaking The Girl - Red Hot Chili Peppers
I've been listening to RHCP's greatest hits album quite a lot recently and there were a few songs I wasn't really familiar with (until I'd overplayed the album to oblivion) and this one was one of them, but it definitely caught my attention. Now it's turned into one of my favourite Chilis songs.

TUESDAY: Conspiracy - Paramore
I know I include Paramore quite a lot in the playlists, but I've never actually included a song off their first album (or at least I don't think I have) so here we go. This has always been my favourite song of theirs from their first album so I hope you enjoy. :)

WEDNESDAY: Ohioisonfire - Of Mice & Men
This is one of my favourite songs by Of Mice & Men and I think one of the best bits of the song is at about 1:09 when Austin does the thing with his voice that sounds really awesome. I also haven't listened to Of Mice & Men in ages, and I credit my friend Evie for reminding me of this song.

THURSDAY: Reptilia - The Strokes
My friend Ruby recommended this song to me and although I already know the song (I first heard it on a DS version of Guitar Hero) I haven't listened to it in so long and now I remember how much I like the song. The Strokes are amazing and I think I should listen to them a lot more.

FRIDAY: Whenever, Wherever - Shakira
I reintroduced myself to this song after my love for football reignited, when I took an interest in FC Barcelona and realised one of their defenders, Gerard Piqué, is engaged to Shakira. Then I remembered how much I liked her when I was younger, so I started listening to her again.

SATURDAY: Umbrella - Rihanna
My secret (well, not so secret anymore) love for Rihanna is still going strong and I still remember when this song first came out and how it shot straight to the top of the charts. At the time I liked it because it was catchy, but now I realise it's actually a damn good song in how it's written.

SUNDAY: Mardy Bum - Arctic Monkeys
Ruby also gave me inspiration to use this song because she is literally the biggest Arctic Monkeys and Alex Turner fan I have ever known. Ever. So I dedicate this song to her since it is Arctic Monkeys and it is one of my favourite songs by them. This one's for you, Ruby. :D

A little update...

I am really excited because today my mother phoned me to say I had a letter come through* and it's an interview for St Mary's Stadium, Southampton's home ground! This has made me so happy because you may know Southampton are my favourite football team and I, of course, adore football. This has been my short-term dream job since I did the stewarding course in February so this is a very exciting time for me. I have my interview next week, so we'll see how that goes and hopefully it'll be good news! If I'm successful, my induction game will be the first home game of the season, yay! This is also my first ever job interview, and to get it for the job I wanted most is amazing.

Secondly, I am finally in the process of getting a new laptop. I've felt so lost without one for so long now, even if I am using my mum's laptop for the time being! My dad found a lovely white Acer laptop for £280 and I think he said he's going to order it soon so this is great. However, the only two downfalls are that it has Windows 8 which I do not like the look of at all (technology is advancing too soon and too fast) and it doesn't have a DVD drive. However, I've managed fine without one before so it should be alright!

Well... that's all I can really think of for now asides from the fact I'm going to Winchester tomorrow to sort out student finance but that's not very interesting really, although Winchester is a very pretty city.

Bye for now! :) x
