40 Day Dream – Edward Sharpe & The Magnectic Zeros

 

Giving Me Away – Betty Who

My current favorite. I have a weak spot for electric, 80’s sounding beats.

Hope you guys enjoy as much as I do!

Big Jet Plane – Angus and Julia Stone

All anyone wants is to be wanted.

I’m trying to be profound, but failed. This is a good song, though.

[Music Video] Jimmy Fallon, Mariah Carey & the Roots – Cover of “All I Want For Christmas is You”

For all of you who enjoyed the Sesame Street theme song cover, here’s something Christmas-y from Jimmy Fallon.

Happy Holidays! and Merry Christmas!

Miley Cyrus Cover – Summertime Sadness by Lana Del Rey

About two months ago, I watched a ‘backyard video’ of Miley Cyrus from her website, and I must say I was impressed with it. People probably don’t know homegirl can ACTUALLY sing and that’s sad. Even though she’s now known for… other things, I’m okay with saying I’m fan of hers WHEN she makes awesome music.

Love this cover.

Paramore – Still Into You

I wanted to share my current favorite song with you guys. As some of you may know, I tend to enjoy songs for their lyrical value, and this particular song meets my personal criterias to be considered a “good” song.

It’s not a walk in the park to love each other,
But when our fingers interlock,
I can’t deny, can’t deny you’re worth it.
Cause after all this time,
I’m still into you.

I should be over all the butterflies,
But I’m into you.
And baby even in our worst nights,
I’m into you, I’m into you.
Let them wonder how we got this far
cause I don’t really need to wonder at all.
After all this time,
I’m still into you.

I also really appreciate that Haley, the lead singer of Paramore, can sing without autotune. It sure is nice that people are still being paid for real talent.
Below is an acoustic version of the song just to prove my point. Enjoy!

Chris Cox – Britney Spears Megamix

Heard this mix on Pandora and now I’m obsessed with it. If you’re a Britney fan, or even just a fan of music from her era, you have to listen to this.

Blur – Song 2

Doesn’t this song make you want to do something crazy?

Eagle Eye Cherry – Save Tonight

I missed my #tbt (sorry!)… but better late than never! I will really try to do this!

This is a personal favorite. I loved it then, and I love it now. Doesn’t it make you feel nostalgic?

The Wallflowers – One Headlight

Early throwback Thursday post.

I’m going to do this regularly.
