Earworm: Peanut’s Theme – Vince Guiraldi

Tis’ the season right?  Since Thanksgiving has come and gone, it’s safe to start posting some Christmas type things, and to start off I’d like to present to you a timeless classic, the Peanut’s Theme.

I heard this while I was walking in at Starbucks, and I can’t stop humming it.  It’s such a soothing piece, and it more ways than one, calming.  We are in the home stretch, and hopefully, the Mayan’s are wrong, and we’ll see past December 12th.

Earworm: “I Would Do Anything For You” by Foster the People

Indie music. Fun, experimental sounds that grab your attention.

I’ve fallen in love (with indie music) and it’s better than before… and this is one of the songs that I recently discovered with Spotify.

Foster the People gained mainstream success in the past year with the song Pumped Up Kicks, but most of the people I know don’t even bother to look into the rest of a band’s music if they like the sound of one song.

Have a listen, bros! To me, it isn’t just an Earworm, but an eargasm as well. Let us know down in the comments section what you think of the song!

Earworm: “Child of the Rain” by The Omen (prod. by JDiablo)

I’m sorry, for all you people that love our blog and especially look forward to my posts, even moreso, my Earworms. (Although The Big Cheese’s posts are fun to check out, so yes, check those out.)

Today’s Earworm is a little gem that I found on the ever-so-dreaded Tumblr. Tumblr is a very dark place. I hate it so, but I love using it for cool pictures and fun posts. Anyway.

The song is called Child of the Rain. It’s an underground rap track.

Like I always say, guys. My music library expands constantly. Every single day my tastes change.

The beat is nice and smooth, the lyrics are very fluid. It’s on repeat right now.

Go on. Have a listen. (CAUTION. EXPLICIT LYRICS. Also, in no way do The Big Cheese and I promote the lifestyle that may or may not be represented in the song. Enjoy life cautiously.)

Earworm: Die Young – Ke$ha

It’s been a while since I posted an earworm, and I don’t know why, to break my earworm hiatus, I pick Ke$ha.  I guess it’s just been stuck in my head for a while for unknown reasons.  I’m not a big fan of hers, but it seems like I like her songs enough to actually listen to them.  It’s a nice mainstream beat, so…..

Earworm: “Ding Dong Song” by Gunther and the Sunshine Girls

I love this song. The hilarious innuendos are endless. I do advise you not to watch this at work, of course. NSFW, bros. Have some hilarity.

Earworm: “Powerless” by Linkin Park

Oh, the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. You’ve left many people, including the Big Cheese, powerless. In fact, I only got my power back today. So yes, our dear dedicated followers, the apologies for not really posting anything palatable in the last few days. Anyway.

Today’s Earworm will be my second LP ‘worm. It’s a good song, really. Off their new album Living Things.

Although the song’s meaning has nothing to do with electrical problems, the title of the song pretty much sums up what’s going on to most of the north east that has been affected by the dreaded super-storm, no matter how long the power had been out. I for one lost power for about 3 days. The Big Cheese has had no power for 4 days and counting. Everyone hope he’s safe, because he and I just want to get back to playing Resident Evil 6. (Little hint there, take note that you should expect a “Game Corner” from us soon.)

 

Earworm: “Paradise” by Coldplay

A really good mix of electronic beats with Chris Martin’s soothing Brit-rock voice. Can’t be beaten.

It’s been played to death by the radio, but it still has a place in my music library. I still love this song. Damn.

Some special meaning behind this post, as well. I’m posting this about 4 days after the 1st anniversary of the release of this amazing song.

Earworm: “Woo Boost” by Rusko.

Um, well, yes, this is dubstep. Woo-woo-woo-bahbahbah-woop. That kinda ish, y’know? The noise your grandparents complain about.

I guess this is a popular dubstep song to begin with, but I heard it first just this weekend in an Adidas outlet store in Deer Park, Long Island. Heard it playing and instantly knew I had to Shazam it.

Not a bad tune to get the energy flowing when painting or drawing or on a photography shoot or driving or whatever you’re doing. Played it all day today when I was drawing. Drawing, drawing, drawing. Arts.

All I can think about lately is arts.

Oh, and the fact that technology is failing on me. My phone is breaking again, although I can safely blame one or two apparatuses, one being the actual charging port itself, or the charging cable I am using. And my mom’s laptop literally crashed as soon as I turned it on.

Earworm: “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life” – Monty Python’s Life of Brian

Ever get one of those day’s when things just don’t work out? Phone ran out of charge, left your wallet at home, train’s late, little annoyances that just make you go “FUCK!”.  I do, and yes, I do get annoyed.  I’m annoyed my Droid Bionic sucks ass, annoyed I have to commute 4 hours a day to work, annoyed I don’t make enough money, etc., etc.,.

Ever think that you’re glad you can make such complaints to those little annoyances? Probably not, but it’s nice that you can bitch about it.  Think in other places in the world, that, they can’t even do such things.  At times it puts me back in my place, put’s things in perspective, and makes me grateful for all the things that I have, good or bad.

I think this song from one of my favorite movies sums it up.

Earworm: “Arms” – Christina Perri

This song I’ve always liked, but I never really paid attention to it until my boss kept asking who sings it.  Finally, sometime earlier this week, he told us why this song was in his mind, one of his daughters had a dance recital, and they used this song.  He said it was quite powerful, and these are 9 year olds  that were doing it.  Finally, got a hold of the song, and we played it at work, and I was able to listen to it in depth.

It is quite powerful, I love how it starts off all mellow, with a simple guitar strumming, then slowly an instrument gets added as the song progresses and suddenly the drum’s drop, and it’s just a great build up, and I actually felt my spine tingling.  The video itself is quite entertaining, and very true to the song.  I’ve felt like this at time, and, well, just enjoy it.
