Earworms

I can find no cohesive theme that allows this list to make any sort of sense, but regardless, here's what's running through my head of late:


1. Angel Taylor - "Sex on Fire" (Kings of Leon cover; this was the best version I could find here, but an "official" version of her rendition is up on iTunes.)



2. Rachael Yamagata - "Duet" (Awesome graphics on this fake...video...thing, no?If I had access to this song, a video program, and YouTube at the age of 14, I probably would've come up with this.)



3. Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros - "Home" (This just feels like it belongs in a Quentin Tarantino movie, doesn't it?)



4. The Go! Team - "The Power Is On" (So WHAT that I first heard it on on an NFL commercial? It makes me want to run and/or punch someone in the face. In a...good way?)



5.  Kanye West - "Power" (Oh, Kanye. I wish I could quit you. This SNL version was amazing.)



6. Glee - "Toxic" (Britney Spears cover. While I firmly believe that the character of Mr. Schue ruins everything good, ever, I begrudgingly admit I don't hate him as much here.)



And what's stuck in your brain lately? Mama needs some new music. (Note: I am Mama in this scenario.) As you can see, I like...everything.

Lissie is amazing, as is Ellie Goulding. Also, the new Sara Bareilles album is insanely good. And for the record, I will ALWAYS love Kanye.

Oh Kanye, you are truly cocaine of the music industry. I know you're bad for me, but I just. can't. stop.

Stuck in my brain as of late: Sleigh Bells "Rill Rill", Florence & The Machine "My Boy Builds Coffins" (really the entire F&tM album), Mumford & Sons "White Blank Page" this version is amazing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_Od0PJp6GI and last but not least Maximum Balloon "Tiger".

I can't stop listening to Kate Voegele. I've been stuck on her for like a year though. I'm not sure the obsession will ever end.

Stuck in my head, three songs with nothing in common:

Katy Perry - Teenage Dream (I blame this on my 10 year old's Katy Perry fixation)

The Gaslight Anthem - The Queen of Lower Chelsea

John Hiatt - Thank God the Tiki Bar is Open (this song remains stuck in my head even after I realized it is, inexplicably, apparently about stock car racing)

I hate Mr. Schue, too! I kind of felt alone on that up to this point, so good to know that I'm not. So smarmy!!!

Miriam said...

I love your music taste. This songs are already on my Grooveshark rotation. Thanks!!

My latest fixation is Milo's cover of 50 cent's "Ayo Technology". I was skeptical at first, but it's amazing.

Hope you like it! :)

I haven't had a chance to listen to all of these yet, but the "Hmmm" in #2 made me laugh my ass off!

oh the Brittney episode of glee. Sigh...

I've been listening to Home pretty much every day for the past two weeks.

Rill Rill is another one that I listened to all summer!

Also, Noah and the Whale, 5 years time. and Minature Tigers's Cannibal Queen.

They make my commute happy.
