Day 16 - What’s making me happy? Its a rap kind of day, and although hiphop and rap aren’t my go to genre, they still make me happy when I get something with singability. Recently when I’ve been hankering for some rap, I go to MGK to cure the craving. A great introduction track to what he has to offer and a solid album (Bloom) to listen to cover to cover.

Day 15 - What’s making me happy? I’m not sure if there is a song that exists that holds fonder memories for me than Celebration Song. I also don’t think one exists that I’ve listened to as many times. What a pump up song! Any Unwritten Law fan will give their opinion on their favourite UL album. But for me, Here’s to the Morning takes the cake.

Day 4 - What’s making me happy? Title track off this gem of an album by Royal Republic. Love some garage rock. If you’re a fan of The Hives, Arctic Monkeys, The Vines, or Franz Ferdinand you’ll surely love this.

Day 24 - What’s making me happy? If you could choose any artist, band, group etc, past or present to see live, who would it be?! For me, Otis! Throwing back to 50’s & 60’s classics always gets me happy.

Day 25 - What’s making me happy? Synth Pop was never really my thing, up until a few years ago I was introduced to acts like Chvrches, La Roux and Lorde. Of course I’ve know the likes of DepecheMode and Duran Duran but I’ve never really been taken back. Until now! We’re into a new age of ‘electronic’ music and I’m enlightened. Especially when listening to ‘Lies’ by Chvrches!

Day 12 - What’s making me happy? Aussie Hiphop…. does nothing but make me happy. Anyone need an introduction into this amazing genre full of catchy has hell rhymes check out this beauty featuring two of the best in the Aussie Hiphop business, Thundamentals and Hilltop

Day 19 - What’s making me happy? Another stumble. This song really surprised me. Nope, it’s not Justin Timberlake, it’s Years & Years…. who are they you may ask? No idea! But I’m pretty excited to give their album a crack! This track will hit the charts hard!

Day 13 - What’s making me happy? Can you listen to Dion & The Belmonts and not feel stupidly happy? When I’m feeling somewhat nostalgic their ‘best of’ album really does the trick. And The Wanderer is my hands down fave, followed closely by Runaround Sue. Trust me when I say, even if you’re not a fan of hits from the 50’s you should give Dion & The Belmont a crack.
