New Favorite!!
I go through new favorites like going through clothes in a week. One of my best friends gave me a CD featuring of all of Christina Grimmie's new songs, and she is amazing. But this one in particular is my favorite and a song I keep singing. Love it!

Uncharacteristic For Me...
In case you haven't noticed, it's pretty uncharacteristic for me to recommend Hip-Hop/Rap songs. Actually, I think I've only dedicated two posts to this music genre since starting this blog. But, for some odd reason, I really enjoy today's song and have decided to showcase it (although it's not a discovery download per se....I'm sure it's quite popular already, but wonderful nonetheless).
What's even more uncharacteristic is that it's a Kanye West song. All of my friends will attest that I dislike Kanye West with a passion (because of his music - not his past indiscretions). In all honesty, I probably won't like any of the other songs from their upcoming album. The sole appeal for this song is Otis Redding (in case you haven't noticed with the throwbacks and Marlena Shaw on August's favorites - I'm a sucker for old school songs). Regardless, it's definitely a song worth giving a try.

Local Music!!!
So, to make a long story short, I recently discovered this band whose hometown happens to be my hometown. And to make things even better, they were featured on one or two Warped Tour spots. Why it took me this long to discover them, I have no idea. But, as they say...better late than never. I actually find their music quite good (though I'm finding out that most Pop Rock starts to sound exactly alike after a while). To show my enthusiasm, I have named them today's song of the day:

Cover of the Week!!
So, I love musicals, whether it's Broadway or just a box office musical. They're amazing and perfect for singing in your car so you can pretend you're on Broadway. And I love Grease. I must admit, I'll watch the whole movie just to see the last ten minutes when Sandy goes all bad ass chick and sings this song with Danny. It's a classic. So, naturally I love the song. But as I was watching So You Think You Can Dance last week, one of the dancers did their solo to this cover, and I must say, it's fabulous and rivals the original. Actually, I'll find a lot of fabulous covers just by watching this show. Sometimes, I'll even rewind the show in Tivo to see the name of the song I just heard and will jot it down on paper or in my phone, so I can purchase it later. Hey, it's a small price to pay to have an extensive and eclectic music collection :)

I Can't Stop Partying, Partying
Bahahaha! Post title is lyrics to a Weezer song, which is fantastic by the way. But these are the lyrics that I seem to think of when I see the name of the today's song:
Heard this song in the movie trailer for Shark Night (which btw, I can't decide if I want to see. On one hand, a shark movie in 3D could be pretty sweet, but on the other hand, it's been done before. Once you've seen one shark movie, you've seen them all essentially. Hmm...) Anyways, I started jamming out to the song during the movie trailer. Oddly thought the song was by Cobra Starship, which clearly it is not ,and I was foolish to think this. Looked it up when I got home, and viola...it's Sean Kingston. Strangely enough, I'm not a huge Sean Kingston Fan, but this song is pretty catchy and upbeat. Gotta love a good dance tune :)
