Day 282

What's Up. So today's song is Thanks For Nothing by The Downtown Fiction.



Songs like this are so funny. The words and how it sounds don't match up. The words are pretty much telling this girl off, yet it sounds like their the happiest people in the world. I secretly love it though. Contrast makes any music interesting to listen to. This was a recommendation by the same friend that gave me Hot Chelle Rae. They both have the contrast going for them. The video idea is comical. I love when I show up where people never expect me to be. The look on their face is priceless. Watch the video, it's funny.

Peace.

Day 281

Hey. Today's song is She's A Lady by Tom Jones.


So a couple days ago, I hung out with my friend Carmen. This is the first time she's seen my car, and so during our adventure to Peter's Drive In, she started singing this in the car. It ended with both of us belting it out and car dancing. It's not so safe, but there were no cars since it was midnight. There has been a mission among my friends, about trying to name my car. So Carmen told me whatever name I choose, I have to put Lady in front of it. Should be interesting to say the least.

Peace.

Day 280

Hello. Today I give you Greatest Story Ever Told by Oliver James.


This could quite possibly be the cutest sad song ever. It makes me wanna cry, and sing along. This is another song from the soundtrack to What A Girl Wants, so I highly suggest you buy that CD, it's awesome. Seriously go to Cash Converters and find it. I had a moment the other day in my car. It was like midnight and I was driving home, down the almost completely dark streets, and I played this song as loud as I could, belting the lyrics. I looked like a fool, but it's all good. Something I noticed, the music's rhythm doesn't match the vocal rhythm. It's a little strange, just listen to it.

Peace.

Day 279

Hi. So today's song is Why Can't I? by Liz Phair.


I blame work for this one. A girl I work with came up to me one night singing this and asked me what the name was. I couldn't remember, but I knew I knew the song. I went on to sing the tune for the next two hours trying to figure out where I knew it from. I eventually gave up till I got home. When I figured out it's from the movie 13 Going On 30. The video for this song is pretty cool, it's like a mix of a lyric video with an actual video. I've never seen this done in any other video so mad props for the originality. Check it out, it's cool.

Peace.

Day 278

Hey. Today's song is Tonight Tonight by Hot Chelle Rae.



So this is a song an old friend from high school recommended. Honestly I didn't think I'd like it, but it just sounds so different than other songs. Especially the beginning. If I'm not hooked on a song by the first verse, than I don't really pay attention to it. But with this song, it got me with the first line. I like the video too, it shows every classic video theme, rolled into one. Plus random Glee kid? Confused me so bad, but his brother is the guitar player in this band so it's all good. Anyway check it out.

Peace.

Day 277

Hi. So today you get Road To Paradise by TAT.


So I discovered this song from Blue Crush 2. The girl in this band definitely rocks. I love the way her voice sounds, and it just works with the sound that they have, but she scares me slightly. That's probably what she's going for though so it's okay haha. I like her hair, when she's cutting it. See, I need to point something out. It's okay for girls to say that girls suck at doing things, but if a guy says it, they'll be hurt. So if you are a guy, keep that in mind.

Peace.

Monday, July 25, 2011

Day 276

Hey, today's song is Watch Me by Bella Thorne and Zendaya.


New Disney stars....and they're getting younger. These girls are around thirteen years old. That's ridiculous to start a career that young, but I'm sure they'll be big when they're older. This song feels like a cross between Ke$ha and Britney Spears' new stuff. Either way it's pretty cool, so I thought I'd share.

Peace.

Sunday, July 24, 2011

Day 275

Wow, less than a hundred days left. Well, today's song is a personal favorite, Think It Over by Wave.


You know how people always say that in their relationship they have 'a song.' Well, for driving, this is my song. I'm a new driver. Just got my license and a car a few weeks ago and I will literally play this song on repeat the whole time I'm driving. It was the first song my ipod shuffled to when I got in my car, it was fate. I love this song. It's impossible for me to hate it, the way it sounds is just too perfect. I can't explain why, just listen.

Peace.

Saturday, July 23, 2011

Day 274

Hello. So today I give you Stay by Soul Decision.



Back into the pop from when I was a kid. Man, I love this stuff. I used to love it because I thought it was the best music I'd ever heard. Now though, I love it because it's so cheezy and reminds me of my childhood. Even now I'm singing along to it. Years later and I still remember the words. Sometimes I torture my friends with only 90's pop music during long car rides when I control the radio, it's very entertaining.

Peace.

Friday, July 22, 2011

Day 273

Hey. Today's song is Fall For You by Secondhand Serenade.


This song is amazing. His voice is beautiful and easy to sing along with. All I know is if this is how a guy felt about me, I'd cry because of how cute it is. Honestly, it makes me think about my  sister and her boyfriend. He liked her from the start and just kept trying to get her, then he did. They are so cute together, everyone who knows them thinks so. Anyway, just listen to the song, feel that emotion. It's great.

Peace.

Thursday, July 21, 2011

Day 272

Hi. So today I give you All Around The World by ATC.



I had completely forgotten about this song, but a girl I know put it on Facebook, so I thought I'd share. Watching the video makes me think to myself "Aww, look. Remember when singers didn't auto tune ridiculously and actually danced to their music." Plus their window dancing makes me laugh. Check it out, it's fun.

Peace.

Wednesday, July 20, 2011

Day 271

Hello. Today's song is Slung-Lo by Erin McKeown.



This song is from the movie Uptown Girls. I love it, it makes me bob my head every time it plays. It makes me feel like the world has turned into Candyland and everything is happy. It just has that feeling about it, the too happy feeling. This song has made an appearance on every playlist I've ever made since discovering it, and so now it's time to share it with you. You're Welcome.

Peace.

Tuesday, July 19, 2011

Day 270

Hi all. So today you get Joker And The Thief by Wolfmother.


I have no idea why I like this song. It goes against everything I liked when I was growing up, and yet... I dunno, it grows on you everytime it plays. The actual instruments in it is what keeps me listening, they just sound cool, but it wouldn't be complete without the singer, although the voice is an afterthought. Oh well, check it out.

Peace.

Monday, July 18, 2011

Day 269

What's Up! Today I give you Everybody Got Their Something by Nikka Costa.



This song is from Blue Crush. I thought it was appropriate because this song helps me forget about the crap from the day (which there was a lot of) and just enjoy the music. Recently I watched Blue Crush 2. It was a good movie, I liked it, but the reviews I read were accurate, for the most part. It is barely attachable to the first movie and really deserves it's own title. I can at least say this, both movies have fantastic music, so watch them.

Peace.

Sunday, July 17, 2011

Day 268

Hey. Today's song is Magic by The Cars.


These men look like champs. I mean come on, that picture? Epicness, right there. So this is an old song, but it made a comback in a Family Channel movie, thereby bringing it to my attention. I just love how it sounds. It makes me feel happy, and then the voice. By now you know I like unique voices. This couldn't be anything but unique. Anyway check it out, I'm going to bed.

Peace.

Saturday, July 16, 2011

Day 267

Hello. Today I give you The Art Of Losing by American Hi-Fi.


I had my ipod on shuffle at work again. It actually helps me re-find lots of music I forgot about, like this. It's from the remake of Freaky Friday, and I've always liked it. I feel slightly more awesome than I actually am when I play this in my car, with my shades on. I'm a giant dork, but I feel cool when I do that haha. Anyway, check it out, you may like it.

Peace.

Friday, July 15, 2011

Day 266

Hi Guys. Today's song is Somebody Stop Me by Erica Rivera.


So this is another song from the What A Girl Wants soundtrack. The good songs just keep coming. I couldn't find a music video for it, so unfortunately you get some really weird fan video for something completely different. And finding a picture of her was ridiculously hard. Despite the fact that she's a singer and an actress, this is the only photo I found. At least I found one though. This is a good song to jam to. It makes me feel happy, even though I'm currently sitting here with allergy issues. Anyway, check it out!

Peace.

Thursday, July 14, 2011

Day 265

Hiya. Today I give you The Devil Went Down To Georgia by The Charlie Daniels Band.


The Stampede isn't quite over yet, but I'm sick of it now, and there's no country song to out do this one. Perfect way to end the celebration. I actually heard this song from coyote ugly, but every time I think of the stampede I hear this play in my head while people do line dancing. I love it, I think it's the most genius thing ever. It just sounds so cool, it makes me wish I could play the fiddle. I suck though, so I'll just stick to playing the song on my ipod. So if you don't know why I used all this country this week, go search the Stampede. Who knows, maybe I'll see you at it next year.

Peace.

Wednesday, July 13, 2011

Day 264

Hey guys. The song today is Silver Thunderbird by Jo Dee Messina.



Okay, ignoring the fact that the video is possibly the dumbest thing on YouTube, I love this song. It sounds so great, and it's about the simplest thing. On the outside it's just about this car, which is awesome, but the hidden message is beautiful too. I wont disclose it though, you have to listen for yourself. Awhile ago I went out to dinner with a guy I knew from elementary school, and he drove a silver thunderbird. It wasn't as nice as the song describes, but all I heard was this song in my head. All day.

Peace.

Tuesday, July 12, 2011

Day 263

Howdy! Haha. Today's song is Not A Day Goes By by Lonestar.



Lonestar is the best for country music. This song makes me so sad, but I still play it all the time. There have been many times when I have crying fits where I sing to this song through the sobbing. I know, it sounds awful and pathetic, because it is, but I'm not the only one who does it. So if you're gunna judge me, suck it. I will continue to cry to this song. Some songs are just too powerful not to use at the hard times in your life.

Peace.

Monday, July 11, 2011

Day 262

Hello, so today's song is Strawberry Wine by Deana Carter.



You'll find that most country songs tell a story, rather than just feelings like the general populous does. It makes it interesting to listen to, like having your mom tell you a bedtime story. This one is about a girl growing up, and having her first love. I love it, because I'm growing up and getting to that first love point. This song acts as a sort of warning, but also encouragement...if that makes any sense. Just listen to it, see what you think.

Peace.

Sunday, July 10, 2011

Day 261

Hi. Today I give you This One's For The Girls by Martina McBride.


Now this is country music for the girls. I love playing this song on a warm day, rolling down my window, singing along. I've always felt I could relate to it. Especially through school, when it talked about how rough it can be. And now I still relate to it about the whole moving out and growing up part. It really helps to know that someone out there gets it and having this song as a little reminder whenever you need it is great.

Peace.

Saturday, July 9, 2011

Day 260

Wow, we're getting there in days. Today's song is Honky Tonk Badonkadonk by Trace Adkins.



So I live in Calgary and there's a very special celebration going on here. It's the Calgary Stampede, the greatest outdoor show on earth. In honor of that, this whole week is going to be full of country music. It's great to start with this song. I love it. This is the country way of talking about a girl's ass, that wont get you punched...I don't think. This plays on my ipod so much, it's my kind of country music.

Peace.

Friday, July 8, 2011

Day 259

Hiya. Today I give you Cold Hard Bitch by JET.



This is a ridiculously great song. People say I have strange music tastes, but I also like bad ass songs. This song is bad ass. I love the dudes voice, and it sounds so cool how they stop playing when he starts singing at the beginning. This is a perfect song for jammin in the car. Can you say road trip? Haha. Hope you enjoy it!

Peace.

Thursday, July 7, 2011

Day 258

Hey Hey Hey. Today's song is All Across The Nation by The Black Europeans.


This is another band that it is impossible to find a picture of. Impossible. Anyway, today I had a day off work finally and got to explore the freedom of my new car!! So I went and picked my sister up from work and we went to the mall. After a bit we came back to my house and cooked dinner for the boys, which include her boyfriend and his friend. So we had dinner and we played some card games, it was really fun. I chose this song because it brings back the feeling of hanging out with my friends in junior high. It just makes me happy like I was today. So give it a try.

Peace.

Wednesday, July 6, 2011

Day 257

Hi. Today's song is Electric Feel by MGMT.



This is the best song to play when I'm freaking out. Something about the voice is so soothing and makes me calm my shit. I have no idea why it works, but it does. I love it. The overall sound of this song just makes me so happy. I don't know how anyone can not like this. I'm hoping you like it, because they are worthy of having more fans than most bands do.

Peace.

Tuesday, July 5, 2011

Day 256

Good Day! Today's song is Not Ready To Go by The Trews.



Here is another amazing band from Canada. Yep, we rock...well they rock, I hope to rock like them. This is one of those songs that I find blasting in my car, cruising down the highway, windows down, hair going everywhere, with my friends jammin. It's just the perfect summer song, and when summer's over I'm never ready to go back.

Peace.

Monday, July 4, 2011

Day 255

Hey everybody. Today you get My Sacrifice by Creed.



So the comment on this video says it all "I hear nothing but pure bliss, This song can make you cry, This song can make you stop crying, This song can relax you, This song makes you happy, This song brings back memories of those times... This song is just what should be called music. Real music." I couldn't of said it better myself.

Peace.

Sunday, July 3, 2011

Day 254

Hello. Today I give you Rumors by Lindsay Lohan.



She has gone so mental. I swear it's like this song came out so she could turn into that party girl who is in and out of jail and rehab constantly. Here's a tip Lilo, if you want people to leave you alone, stop doing stupid shit. Also, put on a bra. Don't get me wrong, I like the music, and I like her movies. She used to be my role model, now she's a Hollywood crazy. Someone who needs divine intervention, but has so much money that she works her way out of getting help. It makes me really sad. She started out so well...

Peace.

Saturday, July 2, 2011

Day 253

Hiya. So today's song is Big Love by Chicken.


Sorry guys, but I can't find a picture of this dude anywhere. Harder than it looks. Therefore, I issue this challenge: someone out there find me a picture for this post. Okay? Now, back to the song. I know it from the movie Blue Crush and it makes me feel so mellow. It is definitely what I play when I think about visiting my Aunt in Maui. Mmmm, sandy beaches and sunny skies. I wish I had that here. I'll have to go visit her ASAP. Anyway, this is a good song, and you should give it a chance.

Peace.

Friday, July 1, 2011

Day 252

Hello. Today's song is All That I've Got by The Used.


Okay first off, love the song. listen to it all the time. Now can someone help me figure out this music video. It's such a cute kid, then he gets sucked into this book and turns into the old man?!? I don't understand, but it's intriguing to watch. I've replayed it about four times already. How people come up with these video ideas, I have no idea. They are some pretty creative people. I would never be able to make up something like this...well only in my really twisted dreams. When I actually sleep, I have the weirdest dreams, this video seems like how they are. Anyway check it out.

Peace.
