in which i share my current music obsessions.

its time to share music again!

i love hearing new songs and getting hooked on new artists (when i say 'new' i mean i haven't heard them before. not necessarily a brand new artist. although, those are fun too.) 

it makes listening to music so much more of an experience and its very rare that i hear stuff i don't like (which is probably why i have over 6,000 songs on my iTunes right now...)

anyway, to carry on the spirit of september and october's music share, i've decided to do one at the end of each month from here on out. i'll be sharing who and/or what i obsessed over in that month.

feel free to share music with me as well, as i love finding new gems!

(click on the song/artist and you'll be re-directed to youtube where you can hear the song and watch the music video if there is one.)

carry on my wayward son

by: kansas

on the album: leftoverture

so, i first heard this song awhile ago at a friends house while playing guitar hero. every since then, i've quite liked the song. as of late, i can't stop listening to it. although i'm not a fan of excessive guitar solos and such, i do love this song.

avril lavigne

album: the best damn thing

(mostly hot and when you're gone but really, the whole album)

this is an album i never get sick of. i've been listening to it quite frequently lately and there isn't one song that i'll skip over. avril rocks i don't care who you are!

piazza, new york catcher

by: belle and sebastian

on the album: juno

so, the juno soundtrack in and of itself is one of my all time favorite soundtracks ever. but i love this song. its so quaint and chill. i absolutely love belle and sebastian. i haven't heard one song of theirs that i don't like.

birds

by: kate nash

on the album: made of bricks

since i just saw kate nash in concert not too long ago, i've been really hooked on her music. this song is my favorite by her and i think its such a beautiful love song! i think we all feel this way at one point or another.

eye of the tiger

by: survivor

on the album: eye of the tiger

i love old songs like these. i usually have a hard time taking them seriously because they are just so cheesy. classic, but cheesy. but i will still listen to them non-stop sometimes. who doesn't love a little survivor every now and then??

(so, jra (jensen ross ackles) did his own little diddy to this song. you should definitely check it out.

its amazing. promise.)

hey soul sister

by: train

on the album: save me san francisco

this song is so marvelous. its up beat and happy and i love it. it makes me think of wearing a cute sundress and running through an orange orchard, which would be magnificent.

(lets just not talk about how horrible this music video is, okay?)

flightless bird, american mouth

by: iron & wine

on the album: twilight

let me first just say that iron & wine is one of my favorite groups, bands, whatever you want to call them. okay! so this song. LOVE it! its in the same category as birds (by kate nash) for me. beautiful lyrics and so well put in a less-than-ordinary way.

m i k a

(click on each letter of his name to be directed to different songs of his. kinda fun, huh?)

album: the boy who knew too much

so, i love me some mika. i could listen to both his albums all the time and not get sick of them.

he's such an interesting artist. most of his songs are actually super tragic and depressing, but the music is pretty upbeat so he's uber ironic in that way.

 on the album: give up
this is such a quaint song. i love it. and i can just picture it all in my mind. i just feel happy when i feel it.

the way i am
by: ingrid michaelson
on the album: girls and boys
i. love. this. song. it is like the girl version of adam sandler's grow old with you, which i also love. its such a sweet song and i love how she just lays it all out there. wish there were more people like that out there in the world!

what are you listening to?
i want to know.
