Good Afternoon Charlie

Hey everyone,

Made this playlist because I recently watched Charlie’s Angels and I felt reminiscent. The soundtrack to that movie is still epic. It gets me going! Also, “Smack My Bitch Up”, although I am offended by the title (who cares?) I will forever love it. So pipe down inner feminist. This song also reminds me of the snowboarding video game SSX Tricky. I love that soundtrack too. Check it out here if you want a walk down memory lane.

There’s also a mixture on here of pop sensations Hilary Duff, Ariana Grande, Jessie J, and hip hop artist Nicki Minaj. Loving their new songs – the trio idea was awesome for Bang Bang, but as for Hilary Duff’s new song – I’m a loyal fan of hers, and the song makes me happy, but it’s so…la-dee-dah. I’ll support it, but it’s forgettable.

Lastly, no child of mine will go into this world without these bands on here: The Eastern Sea, 30 Seconds to Mars, Duologue, and the Shins. Maroon 5 – I’m still on the fence with their new stuff because I think their first album was perfect, but their upbeat, 80s sounding techno/dance ballads (similar to Madness by Muse and Busy P’s Rainbow Man, which is on this list btw), have quite an appealing sound. Makes me wanna go make the world a better place. The Shins song does too – it was featured in the trailer for Zach Braff’s new movie Wish I Was Here. I love how the song starts off with my favorite (and only recognizable) part of the song I know! Haha. 🙂 Reminds me of The Beach Boys, the How I Met Your Mother theme song, and good times.

Enjoy the music, and keep pressin’ on fellow music brethren!

Life Has a Funny Way of Proving You Right/Wrong

Hey world,

I’m not going to do that much like I said I would. Right now I don’t have time for that (mostly because of my work at my internship and prepping for school and stuff.)

But there’s a bigger reason: I thought I was an artist that no one understood. I was wrapped up in everything I wasn’t. I believed I could be something I’m not. Sure, I’ve got some artistic ability, but not to live a life on it. I’m a writer. First and foremost, as with many others. How bout I appreciate art from afar, eh? 😉

So I’ll just stick to writing about music. Because I’m loving just who I am right now, and I don’t want to change that.

Thanks for listening, and thanks for coming back.

Here’s some of my favorite songs right now. Devour ’em, ya’ll.

Pharrell Williams – COME GET IT BAE

The Neighbourhood – HONEST

Janelle Monae – WITHOUT A FIGHT

The Pixies – WHERE IS MY MIND?
