‘That’s What I Like’ – Bruno Mars – TOTD

My commute to work is about 30 minutes each way so I’ve been listening to more radio than ever before which means, of course, I’m hearing more chart hits! Although this song by Bruno Mars bugged the shit out of me for ages, I heard it so much that it ear-wormed into my brain and […]

‘How Far I’ll Go’ – Alessia Cara – TOTD

I am really late to the Moana party. I only watched it a few days ago with my family and since then I’ve been completely obsessed with ‘How Far I’ll Go’ sung by Alessia Cara.  I’m one of those obsessive people who plays a song to death (for instance, before I got hooked on Moana‘s […]

Cartoon Collectibles And Clothes – Geeky Goodies

What with the surprise release of Rick and Morty season 3 episode 1 on April Fool’s Day and the Power Rangers live action movie hitting the big screen, we’re in the mood for cartoons (honestly we’re rarely not in the mood for watching cartoons but… whatever!) This week on Geeky Goodies we’ve put together a […]

‘Chained To The Rhythm’ – Katy Perry – TOTD

Today’s track of the day is Katy Perry‘s ‘Chained to the Rhythm’! I was in the car on the way to work when I first heard this. All I remembered from the lyrics was “Bubble, bubble” and, miraculously, those were the only two words needed to Google the real name of the song. Not only […]

‘D’Aon Ghuth Amháin’ – Seo Linn – TOTD

Today’s TOTD is the single ‘D’Aon Ghuth Amháin’ by the Irish language band, Seo Linn. You may have heard them perform in the Coláiste Lurgan YouTube videos or at the end of RTE’s Centenary celebration coverage. Although I wasn’t keen on the first song of theirs that I heard (‘Musicmakers’), this one is so catchy […]

‘Right Round’ – Flo Rida – TOTD

I recently watched Pitch Perfect for the hundredth time and ‘Right Round’ by Flo Rida has been stuck in my head ever since. Honestly, I kind of love The Treblemakers’ version more but this one by Flo Rida is aces as well! What are you listening to this week? Let us know in the comments! […]

‘In The Shadows’ – The Rasmus – TOTD

This blast from the past came on the radio a few days ago (can you believe it? THE RADIO!). It took me right back to when I was 14 years old and smudging kohl around my eyes. This was my jam ten years ago and I’ve been obsessively re-playing it for the past week with […]
