Awwww shucks

Yup it's been a long time again, one of those weeks-long-lulls where I either don't have time to write or I'm want for inspiration. I'm currently sitting at my kitchen table with all these books spread out, ready to be productive on a Friday afternoon and to study...but I figure, baby steps right? I don't want to be thaaaaat productive tonight.

So when I got home from Italy in 2008, I had all these high hopes of writing a sweet music blog. Needless to say, epic fail right? Not only do I not blog, half the time I don't talk about music either. Well, fear not, because this post will be devoted to soothing your need for the latest and greatest: music for dancing, music for running, music for late-night-driving; music to live to.

1)If I ever need to feel good about myself, if I ever need to pump myself up to ask a girl out, or just put on my fake ray bans and roll down the windows on a sunny-day drive, I simply toss my indie-cred out the window and turn this one up real loud: Philip Michael ft. Akon - "Free to Be" (no idea why there's no music video for this one)


2)I haven't gotten into a band's whole cd for a lonnnnng time, but recently I've been listening a lot to the band "The Head and the Heart." All of their songs are good, even if not a whole lot stand out. My favorite though is "Lost in My Mind," which I'm pretty sure was featured on some commercial I saw recently. Anyway, I've never been hip enough to get into indie-electronica (which seems to be what's in these days), but I've always had an affinity for an unassuming, quality indie-folk song. Did I just say affinity? Too many chemistry classes for me.



3) Uh oh, here comes more Indie-folk. This one definitely has a different feel though. I'll admit, this next video is a little dark for my liking, but the song is fantastic (ok it's a little dark too). This song actually came out a few years ago, but for some reason I just barely stumbled on it: Blitzen Trapper "Black River Killer" (Just pretend it's a halloween music video...)

Ok, I just watched it again, and it is pretty morbid.

4) Well I figured you'd need a pick-me-up after that one, so I'll throw a video on here that needs no introduction:


Last Thoughts:
-grab the song "nothing" by Young Man off of Itunes while it's still free!
-The new Blink 182 cd is actually pretty mediocre. I do like the song "Ghost on the Dance Floor," just get it edited
-I'm so excited about new B.o.B, and I really like "Strange Clouds" as long as you can successfully pretend that Lil Wayne Tha Carter IV is actually not on the song

If you have other music to suggest-let me know!
