Hey folks, Chris here. Unfortunately I don’t have an entry for you guys today. In fact, I’m actually here to say that I’m taking a few days off. I can think of one week I’ve taken off since Stuck In My Skull began, and after writing the vast majority of the 369 Stuck In My Skulls, I need a few days to relax, recenter myself, and make sure that this remains a passion and not a chore. Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon — a week at the latest — and Miriah and Relinquish will still be publishing those tunes you love to hear. Have fun!

ETC #45 “Candyman”
Song: “Candyman”
Artist: Christina Aguilera
Link: http://youtu.be/-ScjucUV8v0
Comments: HAPPY FRIDAY! I hope that you all have had a good week. I originally had a Spanish song planned for today, but my friend and I were having a discussion at dinner that somehow led to Christina Aguilera and now I can’t get this song out of my head. This is an old one from Ms. Aguilera, but all too catchy. It also does a fantastic job at showing off the strength in her voice. I have to say even if her lyrics aren’t always clean her voice is. She is one artist that I will always admire for her vocals. I will provide a change up of genre on Monday, folks. Until then, happy listening!

Stuck In My Skull 369 — “Roses”
Song: “Roses” || Artist: Outkast || http://youtu.be/f9lkxq7tGuY ||
[youtube http://youtu.be/f9lkxq7tGuY]Comments: Oh, this song. I have to thank Amanda here for showing me this song originally. While Outkast generally isn’t my kind of sound, I admit that this song is tongue-in-cheek lyrical excellence with a catchy beat to back it up. I highly recommend it. Enjoy, and enjoy the weekend!

AMANDA– “CARAMELLDANSEN” by CARAMELL
Hey all! It’s the first week back at school and I’m already swamped with homework, so please forgive my lateness. I don’t have much to say today except I enjoy this song WAY more than I probably should. This version is entirely in Swedish, and as Chris could tell you, vastly superior to the English one. It’s right up there with songs like “Gangnam Style” that always manage to get stuck in my head despite the fact that I have no idea what the artist is saying. Several years ago, “Caramelldansen” became an internet sensation when an animation featuring characters from a Japanese novel dancing appeared on 4chan. Don’t bother analyzing the song for some deeper meaning because you won’t find any; it’s just a lot of fun. Seeing as how I’m going to my first anime convention this weekend it seemed appropriate to share. Enjoy!

Stuck In My Skull 368 — “Spontaneous Me”
Song: “Spontaneous Me” || Artist: Lindsey Stirling || http://youtu.be/pRPOztxXWlQ ||
[youtube http://youtu.be/pRPOztxXWlQ]Comments: Happy Thursday! Two more days until the weekend! What are you doing this weekend? I have no idea what I’m doing, so I suspect I’ll just be… spontaneous. I’m sorry, I just couldn’t resist the set-up. Anywho, “Spontaneous Me” is a lovely track — a bright, vibrant, cheerful violin full of vintage Lindsey Stirling spirit layered on top of some bass that makes me headphones pulse in just the right way to get me moving. Lindsey Stirling is simply amazing. While this song is not nearly as well known has her infamous ‘dubstep violin’ hits “Elements” and “Crystallize,” “Spontaneous Me” is Lindsey Stirling doing what she loves to do — rock us.

Stuck In My Skull 367 — “Default”
Song: “Default” || Artist: Django Django || http://youtu.be/DDjpOrlfh0Y ||
[youtube http://youtu.be/DDjpOrlfh0Y]Comments: Props to Alex D-B for tossing me this little ditty, and oh, is it interesting. I haven’t heard a sound like this before, and I’m really liking it. It sounds eclectic and almost acoustic, which makes no sense, because I know full well this isn’t acoustic, but that’s what it reminds me of. The video is artistic in the sense of “look at all that paint!” and I love it too. In short, I love everything about this song, so thanks to Alex! Now go listen!
