new(?) music 11/21

yeah so, lil late, still trying to get the hang of this, i really want these to stop being so few and far between, but you get a new music playlist this week so it's not all bad, this week i've been listening to lot of songs that sample other songs as well as covers, not all are great and some are just plain awful, still though they all caught my ear

T.I. - live your life(feat. Rhianna)
you've definitely heard this song, because this guy is a machine and he's got Rhianna backing him on this track.... also it samples O-Zone's Dragostea din Tei.
... the numa numa guy song, so thats fun, it's like 5 years irrelevant at this point and T.I. and weezer won't let me forget about this thing. still though nostalgia aside it's a catchy song with a really serious message, nothing i can really relate to...something about integrity in rap or whatever. but theres a message there i promise...either way just live your life, cause this will go away

Marnie stern- Don't stop believin'
marnie sterns from new york,so she sounds a bit like cat power,feist and karen o, still though i giver her credit for taking a song like don't stop believin' and adding to it, it actually sounds "not the same" not that there have been tons of covers of this song, it's just actually unique for a cover i can't say Journey would be pleased, but then again who the hell cares it's this or your friend doing on Rock band 2... I'll take this

You, Me, and Everyone We Know- Happy Birthday
no it's not a cover of happy birthday, this song is just a new song that i like, from a new band i like. so young and insane is the second CD this band has decided to give out for free, recently max bemis came out in support of this band, and even appeared on the finished version of the the albums first track "i can get back up" this album also had some work on by members of motion city soundtrack, and this song is just a really catchy song of of said cd

Rick Ross- sunglasses
there are other people on this track, but i have no idea who they are, it took me a while to figure which one "rick ross" was(if you don't know he did "everyday i'm hustlin'") but he sophomore cd still hustlin actually did stand out to me... it has about 3 tracks that sample older songs. this song samples my FAVORITE 80's hit Cory Hart's "sunglasses at night". which is kind of a really gay song with a cool beat, so it's win win, not bad song all and all, just weird

t-pain- superstar lady
this song is just name dropping, the idea is to compare all his "lady's" parts and actions to popular celebrity's. which makes for fun but really makes you laugh when you think of how little sense this song will make in 5 or 10 years, of the lies is party like a Hilton, sex like a Kardashian. still hough i really like T-pain, he's alot of fun he's never to serious and he gets along with everyone, he's a really quality producer, check out thr33 rings, i've listened to it quite bit this month

cruiserweight- balboa
crusierweight reminds me quite abit of Zolof the rock an roll destroyer, who i love. thats probably because they both came out california, have female vocalist's and only sing about happy things. balboa's a confident song, but whatever. i'm really happy to hear a female rock band thats not paramore these days, which is sad because i used to love Hayley Williams, she "that cute lil' punk rock spitfire from paramore" now i just think "oh god theres that twat from paramore singing about sexy vampires or blowing new found glory". in summery listen to crusierweight , don't see twilight or your a whore...to me at least

The Two tongues- crawl
speaking of max bemis(like 3 songs ago). he just got engaged yo someone from eisely just like taking back sunday...more importantly, in February he and Chris Conley will be releasing a cd under there side project the two tongues. so if you lie saves the day and/or say anything check out the first track to be released from the two tongues "crawl"

Common- Universal mind control
this song samples "planet rock" which is awesome.... and is used to advertise the new zune software update "zune 3.0" of which i don't care about. none the less this song is sick, very futurstic and the video has a robot in it....oh also pharell is in the song, i'm not being disjointed i just care more about the robot than i do about pharell on this track.


oh no oh my- boy with and anchor
this is indie peaceful fun, existentially ripe with metaphors, but i do like the line "i tried to write , i tried to love... but all my i failed at both" also a fun use of brass instruments in the chorus...if that your thing. danceable death cab...no not the postal service, jerk

innerpartysystem- don't stop
i just saw these guys with 3oh!3, lyrically this song/band is retarded but the can put out some good music and beats, also they have their own light show so i say it's worth seeing live if you get the chance, but yeah lyrically it's all society and "dear future..." nonsense, doesn't make sense, not to me at least, but i can be dense so whatever. everything else is blast though.

Jack's mannequin- the resolution
i really don't like the glass passenger, i liked their first cd more...and i like all of something corporate more than that...so i guess i feel like Andrew Macmahon is moving steadily down, because i feel like his recent work is at best on "par" with this best work. that being said the resolution IS a pretty solid song, and does remind me of some of the old somethng corporate stuff, so it ain't all bad... stupid cancer(ask me about glassjaw)

Santogold- lights out
this is the theme song to bud light with lime... so that fun, i had it stuck in my head, so listened to it and accidentally put it on this playlist...but it's a fine song so i didn't feel like taking it off, I'm pretty sure i even put it on a play list on my blog already... well here it is again, with an explanation

Fall out boy- love lockdown
it's funny... i love both kanye west and fall out boy, but i feel like this is the best thing they've both put out, in that fall out boy do a better version of this song than kanye does...and love lockdown is better than some of the demo's for the new fall out boy cd. i hope i'm wrong for both their sakes

Red Car Wire- i kissed a girl
this is a cover... of katy perry... so there's that too

enjoy... or don't
