If you couldn't guess by the title above, it is just over a year since Tee Pot Music was created by me, a teenage English girl desperate to share her love of music somewhere, anywhere. That desperation in turn lead to the birth of this blog on a dark, April night, in the back of a car whilst looking at the stars.
Perfect.
Unfortunately, I don't have excessive amounts of time to spare right now so I can't throw a full on bonanza of a birthday party, but at the end of this post I will share with you an image of a birthday cake and I invite you to take a metaphorical slice for yourself as a gesture of good will.
I hope that makes you very happy indeedy.
Now onto the music.
Today's post is going to be a playlist quickie with some tunes you should be checking out and some links and images thrown in here and there. I would love to write more but I should be revising for a much dreaded AS Biology mock, so here we go....
1) WHAT A NIGHT BY LOVEABLE ROGUES
"You need this beautifully crazy, upbeat, quintessentially British offering in your life this summer."

"This song is just a beautiful little cutie, heartwarmingly sweet with hushed, meaningful tones."

"Phenomenal. Easily one of the best new bands I've heard in yonks. So, so good!"
5) CAN'T HOLD US BY MACKLEMORE & RYAN LEWIS
"EPIC TUNE. EPIC TUNE. These guys are masters at their craft. Just as incredible as Thrift Shop."

"I've been listening to this song non-stop for the last month. What a cracking tune from Mr Turner!"
8) BLIND BY THE HURTS

14) THE LOVERS BY ARCTIC MONKEYS (COVER)
"The most beautifully truthful lyrics and Alex Turners croon. How can this get any better?!"
15) STILL LIFE BY THE HORRORS
"Slightly reminiscent of Simple Minds, this song is & always will be classed as an amazing creation. Always."
16) LOVE LIKE THIS BY KODALINE
"This band cannot put a foot wrong. Yet another fabulous record to add to the collection."
So that's all for this week readers.
Another rather eclectic and mismatching combination of the some of the best music you could find in this wonderful little world of ours.
I hope you enjoy this thoroughly.
And now for your metaphorical cake.
NOM NOM NOM.
