Recommended album of the day: Cracked Rear View by Hootie and the Blowfish. It is a MUST have album, it has the hits "Only Wanna Be With You," "Hold My Hand," "Let Her Cry," and today's Hootie jam "Running From An Angel." It is a CD that you can put on at a party on repeat and no one would notice or mind. The 90's at their best!

"The Air Near My Fingers" by The White Stripes is one of my top 10 White Stripes songs ever. maybe. Best lines?

Don't you remember, you told me in December,
that a boy is not a man until he makes a stand?
Well I'm not a genius, but maybe you'll remember this,
I never said I wanted to be a man.

The guitar riff is simple like all of Jack's stuff, but ever so emotive. This kind of song is why they are my favorite band of all time. (download this shit)

Embarrassing but ill try to own it award: "Silent Legacy" by Melissa Etheridge. I found myself singing along and knowing every word on my morning drive, but i dont know how that happened. Like, i cant remember actually LEARNING the lyrics. Maybe they programmed all of her lyrics into me in my sleep. Or maybe its genetic? Nature vs. Nurture. Go figure.

Cry for now reason song of the day: "Everybody Hurts" by REM. It just makes you cry.

"(Oh No) What You Got" by Justin Timberlake feat. Timbaland is FANTASTIC! i love JT, he is a sexy man. and the lyrics are KIND OF my life story:

Baby, I can tell that you want to do more
Than just dance with me
And I don't mind you flirting
But honestly
Do you really wanna spend the whole night
Passing looks at me?
Come over here and get to working

Any pimp will understand what im sezzin. yo.

Hidden Gem: "Reservoir Park" by The Duchess and the Duke. This was a random download from about 2 years ago and im just now listening to it. It reminds me of my Asheville music: that mix of acoustic guitar strumming, pounding bass line, simple lyrics, and tight harmonies. The lead singer reminds me of Mick Jagger in "Mother's Little Helper". Download it for sure.

Gold Star: "Ain't No Sunshine" by Bill Withers. Best song of the day.

Press Repeat 100 times to annoy Schenlah award: "Growing Pains Theme Song" by B,J, Thomas and Jennifer Warner. Okay, so story time. Schen found this amazing youtube video of Dane Cook and Chris Daughtry covering "As Long As We've Got Each Other," the growing pains theme song. Then i had it stuck in my head all week. We were driving to the beach (just me and schen and ridley, we had to leave a day later than my parents cuz i had work) and i decided to use her iPhone to "youtube it." I found all the versions i could and kept playing them over and over, singing different harmonies each time. It was SO much fun (for me) and made the trip seem like a vacation in itself. We had some great convos that car ride, and even stopped for burgers at Red Rabbit. I loved that drive :) I MISS YOU SCHENLAH! This one's for you hahaa. (and bonus - A CAPELLA!) Best show EVER.

Take a listen song of the day: "Oh World: by The Western States Hotel. Take a listen.

I hope that in some small way, i have helped someone find a new song that they like. Or rethink a song they dont listen to much anymore. All i want through this blog is to help people out of their music ruts and into the light of exciting new tune-age. So theres that. More to come tomorrow.
