c.

do you know what my favourite letter of the alphabet is? c. i should mention, this is particularly in relation to food and drinks. if i was only allowed to eat food that started with one letter of the alphabet for the rest of my life, it would be c. i don't know why this would ever happen, but i like to have survival strategies in place for all situations.

where do i even start? coffee, cheese, chips, champagne, chilli, chocolate, cherries, croissants, corn, custard - do you see what i mean? in my imaginary world of c-foods, you are also allowed to think laterally, so things like curry, cabernet sauvignon, creamy tasmanian butter and chinese-style dumplings are also allowable.

i seem to enjoy food and music in equal amounts, so i thought, why not apply the 'c principle' to songs as well? this is, hands down, the easiest mixtape i've ever made for you - just like food there are SO many good tracks that start with the letter c. here's a selection that tantalised my ears the most this past week. xx

cosmic love - florence & the machine

oh my. this is my fave florence song from lungs, and they never make my fave songs into singles! until now. i now even more can't wait for you to come to sydney flowelch.

california waiting - kings of leon

this is K.O.L at their dreamiest, the perfect tune to counteract wild winter weather.

challengers - the new pornographers

i like their old stuff better than their new stuff, from the album of the same name. also the video clip to this is cute and colourful as.

careless - paul kelly

what more is there to say except, paul kelly - you are a dreamboat. and actually, a few weeks ago i had the pleasure of meeting his very tall son!

cover my eyes - la roux

how cool is carriageworks, and their winter wonderland extravanganza they're putting on for sydney this month? pretty much cool as ice ice baby. i can't wait to get my skate on this weekend, and i would like to skate to this song in particular.

court and spark - joni mitchell

man, all this c-work has me craving some delicious c-food. time to go whip up some chicken enchiladas - ole!

cherish - madonna

i once had to do a dance audition to this song in primary school. needless to say, i totally got picked for the 'A' group. thanks madonna.

cheap clothes - whitley

this song makes me dream of being a vagabond and journeying off into far away places. which is exactly what my gorgeous pal sophie is doing. you should check out her blog, it's ace.

cast a hook in me - laura veirs

this girl is so freakin' pretty-making, why oh why isn't she a superstar yet?

calendar girl - stars

have you head the new stars album? i haven't, but i'm dying to wrap my ears around it - if i love it as much as set yourself on fire, this could be my album of the year. stay tuned.
