SongS of the Day


There are TWO today!
"Trust" by Eric James and the New Century
Great sound, overall happy song.
Yeah, I'm aware most of you are sick of "Lollipop" by Lil Wayne, but check out Right Side of the Tree's (RST) acoustic version of Lollipop titled "Vanilla Lollipop". Check it out on YouTube or at their Myspace: www.myspace.com/rstboys

UPDATE



Woah! Throwing
David Archuleta out of the top spot on iTunes is new release single, "Whatever You Like" by T.I .  CONGRATS!

Another new release that quickly jumped on the top 10 chart is Pinks new single, "So What". Her songs are always comedic and mention celebrities. I noticed "Jessica Simpson" in this song. 
And Katy Perry's annoying song, "I Kissed a Girl" is barley hanging on the top 10 spot, being number 10! Finally! I knew she would get old.

And what happened to Shwayze's "Corona and Lime"? It all the sudden dropped down like 20 spots. They are actually unique people, start downloading!

What do you guys think of these new releases??

Did Someone say HipHop?


LIL WAYNE
is my all time favorite rapper. I'm assuming everyone has heard of him, newest and very popular album The Carter III was a huge hit. People even bought it disregarding  the disturbing image of a baby with tattoos on the cover.
I've gone through favorite songs from that album, but after "Let the Beat Build" got old, i moved on to "Playing With Fire". 

His beats are just so original and catchy. No one else does it like Lil Wayne.

Give a little bit, more like A LOT



Do you recognize the beginning of my title from a famous song? Yes, it is from the Goo Goo Doll's Hit "Give a Little Bit" (2004). The Goo Goo Dolls, an amazing rock band with countless hits, have been around since the eighties. It seems to me that people today do not award them with the attention they deserve for releasing so many new albums and singles. You cannot deny that at one point or another you liked a song by them. The band is still releasing singles, but they are not as popular. What happened to the fan base? I'm sure it's still as strong, but most are focused on the current "Top 20", right? Well I'm here to say that the "Top 20" list on iTunes is composed of over played songs from the radio that everyone is sick of. If you can't recognize (or even recite) the top 10 songs, you must not listen to the radio at all. What I am trying to get across is IGNORE the popular music, explore a little on your own. Find out what your old favorites, like the Goo Goo Dolls themselves are playing these days. 

The undiscovered bands are always the best. They are always the most original.

If you like listening to free radio on the computer

www.pandora.com
is the best website for listening to music. All you do is create a station by listing your favorite artist/song and it creates a station with music similar that I GUARANTEE you do not hear often!

Oh, and while your on the internet you might as well check out my FAVORITE website www.perezhilton.com. He also has a very unique taste in music.

Music pick of the day

Today the song I cannot stop listening to is:

Careful
by Guster

(Available on iTunes)

Genre: Soft Rock.

I like this song because the vocals are soft, and the rock is very soft and simple. It is very relaxing and good to listen to in the morning, or just to take a nap.

DOWNLOAD IT!

With Love,
Abbey R.

About

This blog is written by me, an average person. I will be biased when writing about the best music because I obviously have a favorite. I only write about the music I like, which is rock (soft rock/pop rock/hard rock), country, and some hip-hop/rap. I know, it sounds selfish to not include other genres, but I know nothing about jazz, classical, and screamo music. 

Please feel free to comment on any ideas. No negative comments please. 
I will be updating randomly, and I hope I can broaden your music preference.

Thanks,
Abbey R
