Music Monday - Something About a Truck

I had forgotten about this song until today when a friend told me it would be available on Itunes next week.

I have to say there is something about a truck. :)

Music Monday - Adele

So here is the Music Monday post.....on Tuesday. Sorry maybe one day I will get all my ducks in a row. I could blame it on my dad being in the hospital and the lack of time I've had but honestly.....there's a fella that I have been spending all my non-hospital time with. As most of you know I have a rule against talking about any current relationship I might be in. All I am going to say is he is amazing and I am happier than I can ever remember being.

SO moving on here is one of my favorite musicians, Adele. Honestly, I like the Garth Brooks version of this song much better but apparently you can only find it on the movie Hope Floats. Yes, I realize this is not a new trendy song or whatever but I'm liking it. Enjoy!

P.S. I apologize for how random it all sounds, but you try writing a post in a hospital with doctors, nurses and vampires coming in constantly.

Music Monday - Pistol Annies

Soooooooooo some of you may have heard me joke about needing a sugar daddy, this song will make you want one too!

Enjoy!

Music Monday - Johnny Lang

Let me be honest for a moment, I REALLY wanted to use a Britney Spears vid for Music Monday this week. When I first started Music Monday I wanted to use music that isn't very popular, things you wouldn't normally hear on the radio. SO, in that spirit I present to you Johnny Lang - Lie To Me.

ENJOY!

Norah Jones - What Am I To You?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know I haven't blogged in a while and blah blah blah. Well, get over it. In the meantime enjoy this great song from an amazing artist that I have loved for YEARS.




Enjoy!

Seether-Country Song

Warning: If you are expecting a country song, you might be sadly disappointed. Also I have no idea why I chose this song. No particular reason, just kinda thought it kicked butt. Enjoy!!!

Music Monday - Adele

I am in love with this song! Adele has an amazing voice. I highly recommend her new album 21.


Adele - Rolling in the Deep




And just because I love you guys so much here is another one off of 21.

Music Monday - WEEZER!!!!

It's a two for one special today!! I couldn't decide what song I wanted to post but I knew I wanted it to be Weezer.

First: Weezer - Buddy Holy. You've got Weezer, Happy Days and Fonzie doing some kind of weird Russian dance. HOW CAN THIS VIDEO DISAPPOINT?






Second: Weezer - Beverly Hills. You've got Weezer and Hef (not the Hof), ya know its gonna be awesome with Hef.

My Ears Can't Handle It Anymore

An essential list of songs that need to be nixed because if I have to hear them one more time I might punch someone:

1.) Katy Perry – Firework: Ok, I liked this song but O.M.G it is on every commercial and the E! Pre-Grammy show played it 9,422 times. Just stop!

2.) Anything Taylor Swift has or will sing, EVER!

3.) Tonight-Enrique Iglesias: The other version of this song, however, always leaves me stunned.

4.) Blake Shelton- Who Are You When I’m Not Looking: I really like this song, but the radio stations are driving it in the ground.

5.) Black Eyed Peas- Dirty Bit: SHUT UP ALREADY!

6.) Usher- OMG: OMG is this your only song now! What happened to singing? If I have to hear you sing “Oh Oh Oh Oh” one more time I’m drivin to yo house and dottin your eye.

7.) Miranda Lambert-The House that Built Me: Every single time you say something about your favorite dog being buried in the yard I just think “eww”. If a stranger walked up on my steps and told me that, I might hand them a shovel and say dig him up.

8.) Lady Antebellum-Need You Now: I love Lady A, but I am beginning to think this is the only song they remember. I need you to shut up now!

9.) Eminem & Rihanna-Love the Way You Lie: I’m gonna set your bed on fire!

10.) Kenney Chesney: Every song you sing is about summertime, drinkin beer or football. YOU AREN’T IN HIGH SCHOOL ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!

Dance Me to the End of Love - The Civil Wars

I know I have always been the Scrooge of Valentine's Day, but in honor of today I thought I would post this beautiful song for you to enjoy. Happy VD...I mean Valentine's Day.

Trace Adkins - This Ain't No Love Song

A) This man is sexy.

B) This song is great.

C) This man is sexy.

D) This video makes me want to do bad things to that sexy man.

E) Did I mention that this man is sexy?

Neon Trees - Animal

This past week I had a boy to totally flip the script on me. He went from being a jerk face, who was interested in nothing but friends with benefits to....well.....I don't know. He is being the sweetest and inviting me to all sort of events that before we would have NEVER gone to together. I promise to have more on this later but for now lets take a look at our Music Monday song.

I have heard this song a million times on commercials for, I think, some cruise line. Every time I heard it I wanted to blow up the television. Saturday, I had just left Walmart when it came on the radio. Right as I was about to turn the station I heard the first line: "Here we go again. I kinda wanna be more than friends". Ummm HELLO!!!!!!! This is exactly what was going on between The Boy and I. We have been going through this for about nine years and at that exact moment I had no idea what he wanted anymore. So here ya go. Enjoy!!!

Hinder - Lips of an Angel

I realize that this song was played to it's death a few years back. Every time you turned on the radio there it was again and again. I honestly had let this tune fall way back into the caverns of my mind. Last night I heard it and it brought back so many memories. This song always makes me think of a certain someone. Honestly, lately it doesn't take much to bring up a memory of him.





P.S. Anyone else wanna hold this dude down and wash his hair?

Lady Antebellum - Biscuits and Gravy

So this is not an ACTUAL song but its a spoof done by Lady A. I ran across it last night and could NOT stop laughing. Any song that talks about Waffle House hashbrowns has my vote. Enjoy!

Pink-Trouble

Yesterday I decided to broaden my horizons. I wanted to become more culturally diverse by watching a movie that would enlighten me and also make me have deep thoughts regarding my place in this world and bringing me closer to being the person I wanted to be. I sat back and popped Toy Story 3 into the DVD player.

I usually don't watch previews but while looking for the remote I heard this song playing and immediately had to stop to look at the preview. The preview was for the movie Tangled. I think it's something like Rapunzel or something but holy crap there is an animated children's movie with a Pink song!

I had actually forgotten how much I love love love this song. Considering that I have four different people in my life that call me Trouble on a regular basis, maybe I should make this my theme song. Everyone should have their own theme song, right?

Paris-Grace Potter and the Nocturnals

All I can really say about this is WOW! I love love love GPN and this is possibly my favorite song of theirs. Plus, this video has some KILLER Jesus hair and 70's awkward mustaches.

Mrs. Lily White Burns Down the House

I have a friend who is in the process of building a house. Now I have never had any experience in this but it seems to be a fairly stressful process. When all of this first started she was very happy and excited. Now...well....there are days I think a divorce is eminent. There is carpet, cabinets and tile to pick out and good gracious don't even bring up the subject of doors.

Today I saw this video and could not help but think about my friend. Yes, this video is about a relationship falling apart but still I believe some days that Mrs. Lily White would burn this sucker down.

I Run for Life- Melissa Etheridge

As many of you know mine and my family's lives have been greatly touched by cancer. Cancer sucks! There is no better way to say it.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and Domestic Violence Awareness month, another thing that I unfortunately know way to much about from a personal perspective.

Today's song is I Run for Life by Melissa Etheridge. I LOVE THIS. When it comes on my ipod I crank it loud and think about all the women AND men effected by not only breast cancer (men can have it too) but all types of cancer. I hope you enjoy this song and also, remember that the American Cancer Society and the Susan G Komen Breast Cancer Foundation are two great groups working to help find a cure. I know there are others out there, but these are the two that I have worked with and really enjoyed.

1985 Bowling For Soup

I have a friend who knows all there is to know about the 80's. She knows the John Hughes trilogy by heart. She had the big hair, short skirts and wild make-up. She once had a plan to seduce the guys of Poison and get chosen to go backstage. She was successful thanks to her padded bra, red press on nails, fishnets and heels. When I think of the 80's I think of the Cupcake Slayer.


I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that she is happy with her life now. She has two beautiful girls and a husband that she loves beyond measure. No, she's not still preoccupied with the 80's like the woman in this song but I still can't help but think that she would like to shake her ass on the hood of Whitesnake's car.



So to you Cupcake Slayer:

Florence+The Machine

I know there have been several people talk about how this performance was just awkward and weird but her performance at the VMA's totally rocked my socks off. The video here is not the VMA performance (you know lawyers, copyrights and total douche bags won't allow it). My advice is if you aren't up for weirdness, just listen to this with your eyes closed. This video is SUPER weird, but in my opinion this chick has an amazing voice.
