Diet Coke By Jean Paul Gaultier Tour

I'm a big music lover, so when I was asked to DJ at the Diet Coke Jean Paul Gaultier Tour Bus on Saturday I jumped at the opportunity. There was numerous stops all over Ireland on the tour, with Dun Laoighre being the last. I was lucky enough to go along to the launch of the tour bus last month with my friend Sinead, so I had a good idea of what the layout was going to be like. The weather couldn't of been nicer on the day the sun was shining down which made for a lovely Summer atmosphere. I love Dun Laoighre as you could probably tell from lots of my vlog style posts, I'm always out there so it was nice that it took place on the East pier. When I first was asked to DJ this event the first person I thought of was my brother Ger, he's going to be doing a Music Production course in college in September so I knew it would be his sort of thing. I'm glad I brought him along with me as he knew exactly what he was doing, even though I knew the song choices I chose were probably not his cup of tea. He's more of a Crass and The Sex Pistols kind of guy and I put One Direction and Rihanna on the CD, so you can understand why it wasn't his sort of music. It wasn't an issue in the end as Ger had such a blast and even ended up singing along to some of the tunes himself. Typical me I left it kind of last minute making the set music on Friday night, so I was happy everything went off without a glitch. All the songs I put on the CD were songs that I love and listen to all the time on my Ipod, with some new stuff in there also. One of my favourite songs of the moment is Marina & the Diamonds Primadonna, what a song I love it. I may have to treat myself to her new album, I loved the first so much and it was constantly on repeat on my Ipod. I took only a few pictures on the day as Ger isn't the most photogenic person in the world.

Songs I'm Lovin' Right Now

I've wanted to do a post like this for a while now. I think you can learn alot about a person from what they listen to on their Ipod. I have such a mixture of genres on my Ipod, I'd seriously listen to just about anything. Here are some songs I've been listening to alot lately.

Aloe Bacc's I Need A Dollar

This is one of those songs that I heard everywhere and had no clue who sang it! One of Most Played Songs on the aul Ipod.

Nicki Minaj's Superbass

I love this song, it's just such a good song to dance to in my opinion. I know alot of people who don't like it including my boyfriend but yeah I really can't help it if I really like it. I love her makeup in the music video, it's so out there and only she could pull it off so well.

Coldplay's  Every Teardrop is a Waterfall & Paradise.

Both of these songs are from Coldplay's latest album, Mylo Xyloto. Firstly what a wicked name for an album, love it. I've always been a big fan of this band, I've seen them twice live in Manchester and Dublin. The two songs I mentioned are probably my favourite songs off the album I can see why they are the singles off it.

Regina Spektor's Hero

I love the film 500 Days Of Summer and this song always reminds me of this movie. If you haven't seen it if definitely one to watch. That and Adventureland!!:)

Taylor Swift's Ours

I adore Taylor Swift's songs. I think any girl could relate to her. This song makes me think of relationships in general. If you like Taylor Swift's music you have to go and see her in concert, she's amazing live. I've been to see her twice in concert in Manchester and Dublin. Both times with my lovely boyfriend Paddy,(doubt he will want anyone to know that) he may say he didn't enjoy it but we all know that's not true. Out of the two gigs, Manchester was the best. She was only playing two concerts in Europe, London and Manchester so I was so lucky to have gone.

Adele's Set Fire To The Rain

I love this song. To be honest I didn't know who sang it for a while. In work they have a cd that they play on repeat and Set Fire To The Rain was on it. For ages I was in work singing it, before I turned around and asked who it was. All my work buddies looked at me like I was crazy cause I didn't know that it was Adele. So yeah this song reminds me of work but I still love it.

Badly Drawn Boy's Once Around The Block and All Possibilties

My boyfriend made me a Mix Cd when we first started going out and both songs were on it. These songs stand out for me, the instrumentals are great and I enjoy listening to them.

 I really enjoyed writing this post, if you'd like to see more like this in the future let me know!
