Because I suck at finishing things...

I've been SCIENCED! into writing today. So for lack of a better post I am going to finish something I started on facebook. The 30 day song challenge...I failed it. With only three songs to go, I just kinda whatev'ed it and peaced. But damnit today, I am going to finish...so here they are..my last three songs of the 30 day song challenge.

Day 28: A song that makes you feel guilty-
Oh I'll one up this song...This song accompanied with this commercial makes me feel like the biggest douche in the world for not having enough money/resources to adopt every neglected pet in the country. I am seriously.



Yeah...feel that? That's the guilt...now go hug your dog.

Day 29: A song from your childhood-
I can go a number of routes with this one. If I go way back I can post songs from those Wee-Sing Together videos (which were the shit. The Mystery Musical Mansion episode is tits. period.) ooor any number of songs from the shows I watched as a kid, Winnie the Pooh, Eureka's Castle, even Gullah Gullah Island, oor I could go ahead and post any number of NSYNC and Backstreet Boys videos seeing as they dominated my adolescence blocking pretty much any other 90s music until they stopped making music. No, instead I am going to post a song that will always remind me of my childhood. A time when Disney knew how to make a good animated picture. My favorite Disney movie of all time, and favorite song from that movie.



Day 30: Your favorite song from this time last year
Easy one because I had to buy the CD because of it. I also believe this was the beginning of the end for me and the radio...the top 40 station progressively started to piss me off after this...now we don't even speak, and most days I want to rip it out of my car and throw it on the street. Please don't tell the radio I said that, it's fickle enough as it is. Thank SCIENCE! someone introduced me to 88.7 XPN or the radio and I would have parted a long time ago.



So I am finished. 30 (+) days of music that describes me as a person...although for most of the questions I could've had at least 5 different answers. I tried to choose the ones that stood out most to me. It is impossible to just have one song for a certain memory or emotion. How flat. No, music changes with me as it changes on its own, and that is the beauty of it. Anyway...until next time kiddies.

New Music Discoveries...yay!

I love new music discoveries. The appropriately titled band Discovery is a side project of Ezra Koenig of Vampire Weekend and Wes Miles of Ra Ra Riot. This is their LP and it's fabulous. Their sound is best described as if Ra Ra Riot's driving electric beats and Vampire Weekend's preppy rock got together and had a love child, this cd would be the fruit of their loins. I recommend playing it with sunglasses on and the volume turned up. Check it out. You will not be disappointed. Just a sample below..but the rest of the cd is amazing as well. Happy listening, babies.

Top 5 Best Songs According to Me

A lazy Friday afternoon redownloading all of my music, on limewire...which aided in my computer's destruction the first time. Oh well. I'll take the risk for free music. Anyway, today's topic may be discussed, argued for or against, or (if you have good taste) agreed upon. A list of my top 5 favorite songs.

5. Weezer- The Greatest Man That Ever Lived (Variations on a Shaker Hymn)



The first time I ever heard this song I literally freaked out due to sheer awesomeness, and again at their concert. Just try to listen to this song and not get pumped up. I suggest loud volume and a sing along to bring out its real potential.

4. Muse- Map of the Problematique


Another song that just gets you really pumped up. I always feel like I am on some sort of epic journey when this song plays, even if I'm just on my way to the store. Plus what Muse does with their guitars and drums makes me melt. It's an awesome combination of beautiful lyrics and a hard driving rock beat. Perfection.

3. Dave Matthews Band- Two Step


Among many other great DMB songs, this one just sticks with me. The lyrics are beautiful and since Dave Matthews is a creative genius, the different versions of this song being played live are always more exciting than the last. Let's not forget about the message. Life is short. Let's make it a celebration, and dance.

2. Lady Gaga- Just Dance


This song is it for me. Sung by my favorite pop artist since NSYNC, collaborating pop and dance music with fun and catchy lyrics. And it's about being drunk! This song is going to be played at my wedding, birth of my children, and funeral. Yes, Lady Gaga. You have it right. Just dance. Gonna be ok. Da da do do just dance!

1. Journey- Don't Stop Believin'


If I've said it once, I've said it a hundred times. This is the best song ever made. Period. A rock anthem that will live way beyond its years, Don't Stop Believin' is perfection in every way. Besides the obvious catchiness and lyrics that you can't help but to sing along to, this song will be popular because it is accessible in so many ways. Whether you listen to it at work, or while you're out, listen to it to cheer yourself up, or listen to it when you're already feeling good. This song will always just get you going. Journey, you win with this song. The end.

And there you have it. If you have any songs that you think are amazing beyond all reason, please leave a comment. However, challenge me on my number one pick and you will be wrong. Don't Stop Believin' shouldn't just be my choice for the #1 spot, it should be for America, and quite possibly the world. Just sayin'.

Nothing Really Matters but Mooiii!

Just a bit of silliness to brighten your day:

I also wanted to share this sahhhweeet new site that I found while stumbling the other day its called wolfgangsvault.com. The site has hundreds of recordings of live concerts mostly from bands that a lot of us weren't alive to see in their hay day. So if you love live good music and are sad that you weren't alive in the 70's check it out. Yesterday's featured concert was one from Bob Marley in Boston 1978. Thats pretty sweeeet I would say.

Thats all for now lovers.

Tunage Sophisticate

If you ever feel like broadening your musical horizons might I suggest the vitamin string quartet. It's a string quartet that does covers of pop, rock, metal, rap etc. songs. They have a million CDs and they're all brilliant. It's great music to study to, and it makes you feel so smart because even though it sounds like classical music, you're still listening to one of your favorite songs. Right now I'm listening to Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit and it's amazing. You can check it out for yourself here, and you can download their stuff on Itunes or from their site (just click on the title of this post)

Happy Listening!
