Entry 18– "Stereo Love" and Site Update!

Song: “Stereo Love”
Artist: Edward Maya and Vika Jigulina
http://youtu.be/p-Z3YrHJ1sU
Comments: I love this song. A friend of mine (you know who you are) showed me this song awhile back, and I fell in love with it.  The song has a sort of Mediterranean sound to it, which I find wholly appropriate to the video. The beat is catchy, the lyrics are epic, and the song as a whole is great. Check it out.

So, yesterday this blog reached 200 hits! That’s an amazing milestone, and I can’t thank you guys enough. At this point, I’ve basically decided that I’m going to try and update the blog every weekday, so this will be the last Saturday post, and no post tomorrow. Also, I’m going to do my friends a favor and quit spamming Facebook every time I post. Basically, bookmark this blog and make sure to check it every weekday! If you have a song you want me to feature, let me know!

Entry 17– "Loca"

Song: “Loca”
Artist: Shakira
http://youtu.be/KewfYKJy8YU (English Version)
http://youtu.be/XAhTt60W7qo (Spanish Version)
Comments: If you are fluent in Spanish, or just don’t mind listening to songs in another language, I highly recommend listening to the Spanish version. The English version loses a certain something in translation, like the ability to be euphimistic. “Soy loca con mi tigre” sounds so much better (if slightly less entertaining) than “I’m crazy but you’re naked.”

Entry 16– "Jar of Hearts" and Site Update

Song: Jar of Hearts
Artist: Christina Perri
http://youtu.be/8v_4O44sfjM
Comments: I originally heard this song being performed on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, and endeavored without success to find a video of that perfomance. Don’t get me wrong, the music video is well done and moving, but it fails to give me chills the same Ms. Perri’s voice did the first time I heard this song. Well, as many chills, anyway.

In unrelated news, I added a search bar to the site, so if you’re looking for something in particular, you can quickly see if I have it– I’ve tried to tag every entry with at least the artist name and song title, so searching should be easier. If I don’t have what you’re looking for, let me know! I’m always open to feedback and new ideas.

Entry 15– "Feel It In My Bones"

Song: “Feel It In My Bones”
Artist: Tiesto ft. Tegan and Sara
http://youtu.be/GQQhibVx5eE
Comments: Tiesto and these terrific twins (‘scuse the alliteration) make a truly epic song and put in to a prety darn cool video. Definitely worth checking this out.

Entry 14– "Can’t Stop"

Song: “Can’t Stop”
Artist: Red Hot Chili Peppers
http://youtu.be/BfOdWSiyWoc
Comments: Sorry this is going up so late. I can’t stop listening to this song. Catchy. Beautiful. A hint of deeper-than-surface-level meaning. Hillarious video. What else does a song need?

Entry 13– "Icky Thump"

Song: “Icky Thump”
Artist: The White Stripes
http://youtu.be/1OjTspCqvk8
Comments: A classic song by a classic band, “Icky Thump” is one of the many reasons I wish The White Stripes hadn’t broken up. A slightly political song, but one that makes a valid point nevertheless. The video is also pretty awesome.
