There are a ton of bloggers out there that do the Tunesday Tuesdays, and I finally have a reason to do my very own! I have been watching Making the Band 3 for the past two seasons (let’s not get into how gay it is that Diddy’s dream (HA!) was to make a girl group that will “take over the world”… um, gay!), and even though I tried to resist, I fell in love with those girls, and I honestly couldn’t wait until their CD came out; which incidentally, was today! I have to say that they definitely delivered, and it is a fun hip hop CD that I really am digging right now. Those of you that know my taste in music, it is rare for me to like a “hip hop” album (save the occasional song here and there), so it is definitely hard for me to endorse any hip hop albums… but not this! It is great! I read somewhere that they were like the hip hop version of the Spice Girls, and I honestly love that; because whether you admit it or not, everyone liked the Spice Girls at least a little bit. HA!
Also, I got the CD for 30 Seconds to Mars, and it kicks ass. The dreamy Jared Leto definitely has a set of pipes on him, and the songs, while definitely for the hard rock fan, are emotional and well written (as well as well performed). I went in liking one song, and came away loving the whole album. Definitely worth checking out if you like groups like Linkin Park and Incubus. You will definitely see it in my car!
As for other music I am currently loving, here is a random list of songs I am digging:
Will Young - All Time Love, Who Am I
Beyonce - Deja Vu
PCD - Buttons (THE song of the summer in my opinion)
Christina - Ain’t No Other Man
KT Tunstall - Suddenly I See
Five For Fighting - I Just Love You
Rascal Flatts - What Hurts the Most
Cheyenne - Hanging On
Jessica Simpson - A Public Affair (I know, I know)
Nelly Furtado - Promiscuous (I am almost over this one though… too much airplay)
Nick Lachey - I Can’t Hate You Anymore
And in case you were wondering (fags), I HATE Sexyback by JT. It sucks. I doesn’t change pitch or tone the entire song. It could have been great, but it isn’t. Boo. Hopefully his next single will make up for it.
What are you guys feeling? I am CRAVING some new music, and luckily, this is the time of year albums start coming out. Let me know what you are listening to!
Well, I haven’t been listening to a great deal of new music lately. For whatever reason, few songs are really grabbing me, but here are three:
Snow Patrol “Chasing Cars”
Mat Kearney (whole CD)
Gnarls Barkley “Crazy”
What I have been listening to are older songs from CDs in my collection, such as these:
Sheryl Crow “Good is Good”
Madonna “Frozen”
Death Cab For Cutie “I Will Follow You into the Dark”
Sophie B. Hawkins “No Connection”
Nelly Furtado “Try”
Sarah McLachlan “Fallen”
Jan Hammer “Crockett’s Theme”
Janet Jackson “If”
Dubstar “Stars”
Aimee Mann (the whole “Lost in Space” CD)
I think I’ve just been listening to music that takes me back to certain times when I was having more fun than I am now. LOL
Hahaha, judging from that list you *don’t* want to know what I’ve been listening to
Pussycat Dolls, song of the summer?!?!
WHO are you? I don’t even know you anymore…
Anyhoo, my current playlist sounds like so
The Kooks “She Moves in Her Own Way”
KT Tunstall “Black Horse and the Cherry Tree”
Faith Hill “Sunshine and Summertime”
Kenny Chesney “Living in Fast Forward”
The Wreckers “Tennessee”
Fort Minor “High Road”
Saint Etienne “Sylvie”
Cobra Starship “Snakes on a Plane (Bring it)”
Red Hot Chili Peppers “Snow (Hey Oh)”
I’m with you on the new Timberlake. Horrid does not even begin to describe that track. And the boy has been working on that album for over two years. TWO YEARS! Just sad.
The new Aguilera, on the other hand, is absolutely brilliant pop … as opposed to Jessica Simpson’s latest, which is little more than poorly recycled Madge.
Greg… you MUST admit that song is HOT! (because it is!)
Did I just get called a Fag? Ouch! Hate it if you want, “So you think you can dance” so made me love it. Everytime I hear it I see my gang dancing… (Travis, Ivan, Ben, Benji)
Panic! at the Disco ~ “There’s a Good reason These Tables are Numbered Honey, You just Haven’t Thought of it Yet.”
Death Cab for Cutie ~ “Brothers in a Hotel Bed”
Ryan Cabrera ~ “Last Night” & “It’s You”
Bob Carlisle ~ “We Fall Down”
High school musical Soundtrack
Camp Soundtrack
Radio ~ G105 & 88.1
Sorry, I’m more of a singer/songwriter glamourous indie rock and roll kind of guy, PCD is just wasted compressed airwaves to me…
You and I pretty much have identical music taste. I’d change…
Remove-
Will Young - All Time Love, Who Am I
Cheyenne - Hanging On
Beyonce - Deja Vu
Replace-
Beyonce - Ring The Alarm
Scissor Sisters - I Don’t Feel Like Dancing
Evanescence - Call Me When You’re Sober
I like Sexyback by JT. Oh well, to each his own.
I’m listening to Chicago by Sufjan Stevens, Postcards from Italy by Beirut. You’d like these guys I think because they are very lyrically focused and you like to write poetry. If you want I can send ya some mp3’s, let me know. Atlanta is on our jet set schedule now btw, but will wait long after summer’s over.
I have been listening to
The Pippettes “Pull Shapes”
The Puppini Sisters
The Scissor Sisters
Ronan Keating
Panic! At the Disco
Linda Ronstadt and Anne Savoy
The Matthew Sweet and Sussanah Hoffs cover Cd of rock and roll classics…
Nelly Furtado I agree with, and SexyBack isn’t too bad. Although I do tend to like the beats that Timbaland puts down. Public Affair? How can you not break out into singing ‘Holiday’? It’s a blatant ripoff which actually also rips off ‘Ain’t No Mountain High Enough’ by Diana Ross at the end.
Anyways, I can’t say much… my current car CD’s:
Panic! At The Disco - A Fever You Can’t Sweat Out
Billy Joel - Songs From The Attic
All-American Rejects - Move Along
Marvin Gaye - Greatest Hits of the 70’s
