monzano - Yes, We Can't

Helloey,

Sorry for the delay in posting, I've been getting addicted to Tumblr (shame on me, haha!) - emmylou1602.tumblr.com

I've been listening to my recommendations on last.fm today and there is some awesome music about that never seems to get any recognition. (My last.fm profile is www.last.fm/user/emmylou1602 )

So I've compiled a short playlist of some of the "twee"-ish type songs that I was recommended:-

The Sunshine Underground - Put You In Your Place

Dear Nora - Springtime Fall

The Rifles - Peace and Quiet

monzano - Yes, We Can't

Gaze - Portrait

Slow Down Tallahassee - Electric Sun

Allo Darlin' - Heartbeat Chilli

Strawberry Fair - Give Up

Honeybunch - Hey Blue Sky

Marine Girls - Don't Come Back

Language of Flowers - Where You Belong

If my brainspace was a genre of music, it would be twee-indie-swirlyness.

Sara Bareilles - Love Song

More shop shenanigans!

Someone just asked me what time the postman empties the postbox. He couldn't understand why I didn't know. I asked what it says on the postbox and he told me 4pm Wednesday. Ooh, I wonder what time the postbox is emptied then?! BUY SOMETHING OR GET OUT!!

I work in a shop that sells coats and as well as the postbox debacle, I have also been asked:

*How to get to the market (er, you're in a shopping outlet village, do you think I would tell you how to shop somewhere else?!)

*Which bus goes into the town centre (I haven't ridden a bus since 2004 and tried to explain I'm a motorist but that didn't deter them "Well surely you *must* know if you live round here?" Nope, I still don't know 15 seconds after you last asked me.)

* Which size coat should I buy when I've lost this 3 stone I need to shift? (*headdesk*)
