Personal Experience

I haven't seen seen the xx live, but I do listen to them fairly often. Now, I know I usually post about metal/hardcore/punk/pop punk ish music but I do listen to other music and I have been listening to the xx a lot today and decided that they should be who I blog about today. They're great to listen to when you're (trying to) be calm or are currently calm. I like all of their songs just like I do with pretty much every other band I listen to, but I could choose a few of my favorite songs. I haven't really listened to Coexist a lot, or well. Like I haven't paid attention to what i was listening to, it was just background music. So all of my favorite songs are off of 'xx'. 

•  "Do You Mind"
• "Intro" (sorry it's extended, it was the only version I could find)
• "Crystalised" (the school computer won't let me load it..?)
