November: Rage and Relax

I definitely owe every one a playlist from last month... and I'm pretty sure you all know what I'm about to say. "I've been busy!" Yes, yes, I've been busy. I'm sure everyone can relate in some way, and let me just say, finding the man of my dreams has had me pretty occupied..... :) Let's just get to the music, yeah?

I decided to split my music into two playlists this month, because there were times when I wanted to jam, and times when I wanted to chill.
For my "rage" playlist, I've got some amazing new tracks from people like Frank Ocean, Collin McLoughlin, Rihanna, and Yelawolf, and groups like The White Panda and Shwayze & Cisco. I also listened to the newest Gym Class Heroes album, and it's pretty impressive. If you haven't listened to "Solo Discotheque", please do.
I have a few favorites from this playlist, I'll highlight them and provide as many links as possible.

In my "relax" playlist, I'm really diggin' a few new-ish albums, like Phantogram's "Nightlife", and "Hakuna Matata" from VIBE. I've also loved Matt Wertz for a long time now, and my favorite of his is "Twenty Three Places". I'm super excited about the last song, "Finally Moving". Listen to it, you'll know it if you know Flo Rida's "Good Feeling". The entire album is fantastic, give it a listen, and enjoy.

Chill.

"damn, now i gotta do another blog post..."

It sucks that I'm on the internet so much. I keep finding really awesome music videos, and it's gotten to the point where it only makes sense to write a blog post about them. I think I'm catching up on all the blogging I didn't do last month...

First up is a new one from Avril Lavigne. She and I were super tight back in middle school, I sang "Complicated" at a karaoke contest when I was like 13 and won a $25 gift card at the mall... Good times.


Simple but lovely. One thing I like about her is that she doesn't change. Same beautiful, simple, badass Avril.

Next, I found the new video for a song I adore, Love Letter by Shwayze ft. The Cataracs & Dev. The song itself is really cute, and I think they did a great job with the video, as well.

So, I'd like to expand a little on DEV. It's basically like Lady Gaga and Ke$ha had a baby. Creepy, right? She's one of those terrible things that you just have to watch because you can't look away... Like mother, like daughter.

Now, if you close your eyes and just listen to the song, you'll hear some pretty interesting things. The initial reaction is probably, "Hey, that one chick that sings G6!" Bingo. The underlying melody is also from G6. The sax bit is very Calabria 2007, don't know where that comes from, but it's cool.
She's also got another popular song that many people have heard remixed, "Bass Down Low". DEV seems like she might me on her way up in popularity, so keep a close watch on her. I can't wait to hear more.

MUST DOWNLOAD.

I learned a new trick! Except it's not that new, but for my blog it is. I'm really going to try to do this more with the music I post about. It must suck having to go find all this crap on your own, huh? Every other blog or website does this, so I should, too.

These three are songs I've downloaded within the past few days, and OH MAN are they good. Enjoy.

October, Time is New

October, you were such a difficulty. But it's true, Time is New. I've opened up to new possibilities, new perspectives, and I've learned something new every day. Some of these lessons were quite painful, but we made it out alive, right...?


For those of you who don't know the band Angels and Airwaves, please get to know them. Tom Delonge (Blink 182) is the lead singer. This will either make it or break it for some people, but seriously, just listen to them. You can download their new FREE ALBUM "Love" from their website, http://modlife.com/angelsandairwaves. Their sound is unique, motivating, captivating, and powerful. The message behind it all is that they want to change the world with their music, something I believe is completely possible. They also have a bitchin' shoe line, Macbeth. http://modlife.com/macbeth




Here's the music that's kept me kickin'.
