Whistle While You Work...

Okay, well maybe not whistle but definitely sing along loudly! Singing and shouting and getting into music whilst sewing really helps time fly and makes large or long projects a bit more pleasurable. Here is a short list of my favourite bands to while away the hours with:

The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing.

A fantastic band who claim to be putting the punk into steampunk, and believe me, they really do. Check them out on youtube, they combine facts and knowledge with rock and guitars!

Mr B The Gentleman Rhymer

A cheery and summery artist, Mr B rhymes (not raps!) about current events, social hierarchy and cricket, all whilst playing his banjolele. Good for background listening when hand-sewing.

I can also highly recommend the website last.fm. You can sign in with your facebook account, and listen to a wide range of music, with options to even listen to music similar to other bands you like. Really like Erasure? Pick the Erasure channel to hear a range of other bands who have a similar sound. Check it out, it's good.
