“Only Human” by Jason Mraz

This album will most likely make my top 10 of the year. Is that surprising? I know it’s not indie shmindie, but Mraz has played this one perfectly. It’s more mature than his last album and it has everything that makes him great. I keep going back and forth between favorite tracks. It was initially […]

“Blue Day” by Darker My Love

I don’t know much about this band. Up until this morning, all I knew was that my friend Dani likes them. And I knew that they have 2 free shows in July at the Echo to support their upcoming release on Dangerbird. Then I stumbled upon this track through Hype machine. WOW. Now I know […]

“You’ll Find A Way (Switch & Sinden Remix)” by Santogold

This is a classic case. A classic case of a remix being better than the original. Yes, that’s right folks. As proved true in the memorable example of Timbaland & Magoo’s “Luv 2 Luv U”, a bangin remix can often confuse people into thinking it is the original track. Confused or not, this track is […]

“Paisley Pattern Ground” by The Black Hollies

Is this song in a commercial? It is right? Oh I’m losing my mind. What I do know is that it was in last night’s episode of Greek. ABC Family is definitely becoming a force to be reckoned with. First they make me interested in a new show then they start with the new music? […]

“Pork And Beans” by Weezer

I did not like this song. I think I was Weezer-ed out. Maybe I was just an old school Weezer kind of gal. Then they had to go and do this:

“Move For Me” by Kaskade feat. Deadmau5

I know that dance music is huge right now, but is it bad that I feel weird using a YouTube video from a user called ListenToTrance? I heard this song either in Vegas or during the intermission at Robyn (sorry I can’t be more specific) and then tonight on KCRW from Jason Bentley. It’s a […]

“Viva La Vida” by Coldplay

If this album isn’t the biggest of the year, I’ll be surprised. They just keep getting better.
Anyone catch this during Idol? (yay David Cook!)

“Everyone Nose” by N.E.R.D.

Why did Lindsay Lohan agree to be in this video? Not smart honey. It is a pretty cool video though. I love how they have the “video removed by request” things at the end. Nice touch.

“Violet Hill” by Coldplay

I was resisting posting this since everyone and their mother is, but I can no longer deny its goodness. Plus there’s a video…

This album is going to be insanely huge.
