I can't believe this guy is only 17 !!! :O

I discovered one of Madeon's song on holiday, and showed it in the last post (The Deadmau5 Remix). Since then I have been listening to more of his music and have also found out that he is only 17. That sort of makes me feel a bit of a failure, because he is so talented. Here is another one of his music videos, performed live.

A mash-up of 39 of his favourite songs...

My Holiday in Photos... (/ Music )

I'm going to try not to bore you with hundreds of photos of mountains and trees which I took on my recent visit to the island of Elba off the coast of Italy. It was a lovely trip; travelling through France, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Luxemburg and Belgium (not in that order though) to get there, but I really did get a bit too excited driving through the Alps on the way, and I took 695 photos :O

Apart from a Jellyfish sting, it was a very enjoyable two weeks: spent eating ice cream, pizza, pasta, fried calamari, listening to music and occasionally trying to exercise when the guilt of how much I ate got too much :P

I have spent AGES cutting the 695 pics down, and here are my 15 favourites...

Because the journey to Elba took three days, I listened to alot of music and podcasts, and discovered a few musical jems...
