Sia-Lullaby

The contradictions of the meaning of a lullaby and the heartbreaking emotion of the song makes it so enchanting.

Climax -Usher

Besides the fact that Diplo is sexy, he also produces some awesome beats. I haven't been much of a fan of Usher's music most recent music. But I can say that I'm currently obsessed with this track.

Check it.

Go-Santigold

I love Santigold. Collab with Karen O from Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

Bad Street by Twin Sister

I came across Twin Sister through Style.com. There was an article on Andrea Estella, who's half of the Twin Sister band. And I youtubed their music, the instrumental in the background seem to be retro inspired. It's most obvious in the video for "All Around and Away We Go". I think I would describe there music a more mellow version of MGMT injected with a little bit of retro sounds. Maybe it's just me. Check out there video below! It makes me miss summer!

TRON Legacy Reconfigured

Anyone else here love TRON, especially its OST during the entire film? I downloaded it afterwards, but was kind of disappointed at how the music doesn't work as well by itself. Thankfully a lot of different djs have taken those songs and remixed them for your listening pleasure.

In essence it's still Daft Punk, but 'reconfigured'.

Here is one of the songs:

"How R U Doin?" by Aqua

THEY'RE BACK! OMG! No lie, Aquarium is still one of my favorite CDs of all time. Just revel in the catchiness!

DJ-Amanda Blank

I tried to find this song when the T by Alexander Wang Spring 2011 campaign with Diplo came out but I just found it today. I'm obsessed. The ad came out in Feb. The beat and just the pace of the entire ad was so smooth. I know this blog is strictly music but music and fashion go together! Amanda Blank has a similar sound to Peaches.

Below is the ad, gotta watch it! It's just so sexy. Also the full song at the end.

Foster the People-Helena Beat

Thanks to my dear boyfriend, I heard this song at least ten times before I went to sleep last night and woke up listening to it too. But it is a super catchy song. In fact I think the whole Torches album is quite good. I recommend it. It's a really good feel-good music CD. They have a bit of a MGMT vibe( but I think Foster the People are even better). Their other popular song from the CD is called Pumped Up Kicks. Check it out!

"Anna Sun" by Walk The Moon

What a fun song! Also, who here knows an actual Anna Sun? I'm putting the over/under at +3/

have a happy wednesday!

Mumford & Sons "The Cave" Teaser

I love Mumford & Sons. Do you?

Barbara Streisand- Duck Sauce

This song is too amazing not to share.

Loves it!

Everblue-Mandy Moore

This song is perfect for Sundays sitting under the sunshine in front of the window.

Everblue was a song on the Amanda Leigh album. The lyrics are beautiful. It's a gem, I think a lot of the vocals on that album are. It really marks who she is as a singer. People often overlook what a good singer she really is (just like Pink). SO I strong encourage listening to Amanda Leigh!

Yeasayer - O.N.E

It's got one of those the-future-was-so-sweet-back-then vibes

Apple of my Eye

This song makes my day. It has good lyrics and is not just your typical love song. I heard it at work today and I had to stop and look up the lyrics. Hope you enjoy it.

Run This Town

Is this version awesome or is it AWESOME? So much better than the original.

"Chicken Fried" by Zac Brown Band

My current favorite song. It's on endless repeat right now. And yes, I love country music.

"Slam Crunk" by Holiday Parade

A Decade in Radio

Well, the first decade in the 21st century is over. I was browsing on Billboard's Best of 2000s, which ranks the most "popular" songs of the decade (2000-2009) ranked by radio airplay, sales, audience impressions etc. Anyways, pretty interesting list, it really puts in perspective how long ago 2000 was. Here's the first 10 in the list. R&B/Hip Hop/Dance really dominated this decade in radio music.

1. We Belong Together - Mariah Carey
2. Yeah! - Usher
3. Low - Flo Rida Featuring T-Pain
4. How You Remind Me - Nickelback
5. I Gotta Feeling - The Black Eyed Peas
6. No One - Alicia Keys
7. Boom Boom Pow - The Black Eyed Peas
8. Let Me Love You - Mario
9. Gold Digger - Kanye West Featuring Jamie Foxx
10. Apologize - OneRepublic

*barf* What do you guys think? I'm sick to death of every one of those songs.

*edit: trying out some changes to the blog layout a little, any suggestions? I backed up the old one.

Almost New YEARS!

I think we've all been to this point before. Anyways cool music video, Ratatat and MGMT are awesome, Kid Cudi is pretty good. My favorite part is where he shows his Jesus piece randomly.
