2014 RoundUp: Favourite Films Watched in 2014

I had a fail at keeping track of my films this year. My Evernote app, where I keep track of them didn't sync my updated list, then in turn updated the correct list with the unfinished one. ARG!

I *think* I have most of them on my paper backup in my filofax, but I'm not sure. DOUBLE ARG! 

So this year I won't be posting my full list - since it doesn't exist, but here are my 10 favourite films I saw last year.

2014 RoundUp: Favourite Albums of 2014

In 2014 I purchased 22 albums! Hot diggity. It was a good year for music (though I think I say that every year).

My honorable mention for the year is Bastille's new collaboration/mixtape  VS. (Other People's Heartache, Pt. III)! So good! I didn't include it in the official top 5 since the band themselves don't refer to this as a "new album". You should still definitely pick this one up.

My Top 5 albums of 2014 are:
5. Goddess by Banks
4. St. Vincent by St. Vincent
3. 1989 by Taylor Swift
2. In the Lonely Hour by Sam Smith
1. Sweet Disarray Dan Croll

Theme Music for 2014

For the past few years, at the beginning of January I've been picking a theme song to represent the coming year. 2012 was Shake it Out by Florence and the Machine. 2013 was You Can Dance at Any Age by Broni. This is this year's.
