Top 30 Favorite Songs of All Time: #30 “This Too Shall Pass” by OK Go

You guys and gals ready? It’s high time for me to kick off my Top 30 Favorite Songs of All Time (in no particular order, posts are just numbered from 30 to 1). I decided to start this column on the 2nd of March due to the fact that March is a 31 day month.

OK Go is a band known for going all out with their music videos (expect at least 2 or 3 of their songs here on this majestic list), and “This Too Shall Pass” has over 39 million views on YouTube, not including all those lyric videos that have at least 500 thousand views each.

The song is really catchy and is one of those that you can’t help but bob your head to the beat. If you listen closely, you’ll hear a trumpet in the song, and in fact, I’ve began to see a trend that songs that have a trumpet in them tend to please my ears a lot more. I’ll expand on this later. You’ll see for yourself, as well.

The music video for “This Too Shall Pass” is insane; it involves a Rube Goldberg machine and lots and lots of colors. In the wise words of one of my favorite artists, Kanye West, “That shit cray.” You’ll say something along those lines, too, once you’ve laid your peepers on this insane production.

The music video for “This Too Shall Pass” :

Earworm: My Life – .50 Cent Gt. Eminem & Adam Levine

I first the heard Eminem‘s distinct rap as I was half listening to the radio a few day’s ago.  I looked at the song title on my SiriusXM and I saw ‘ My Life – .50 Cent, Eminem, Adam Levine.  I was taken aback for a second, and had to rewind the song.  Now after listening to it a few times since, at first I was sort of disappointed with Fitty’s opening rap, but then he did pick it up in his second one.  Em’s is as alway’s good, and I guess, it’s not so weird with Maroon 5‘s Adam Levine doing the hook, as Eminem has done collaborations with Taylor Swift and Dido in the past.  All in all is a good song, and it’s nice to see .50 back.

One month down, and an Earworm: Bangarang – Skrillex

We now head into the 2nd month of the 2013, I cannot believe January just came and went.  It was quick a busy month, with work and all.  I finally got to build a new PC and so far it’s been just a peach to use.  I will do a quick write up on it probably this month.  It will cover the selection process, and why I picked the parts I picked.

Also, our very very late review on Resident Evil 6 is being finished.  I know it’s been a while since it’s been released, but it’s gonna be done through the eyes of casual gamer‘s, and fans of the series. We might start putting together our retro review section.  A lot of exciting things in the works, but also, my project list is filling up.  I have another website project in the works to be launched in the coming weeks, as well as my photography, and the return of WIGN.

I apologize if we cannot provide you guys with new content everyday, it’s tough with work and school, the best we can do is fill up our folders with stuff, then just post them as we get them done.  Hoping you can stick it out with us.

And lastly, an Earworm.  It’s by Skrillex, and it’s been stuck in my head for the past 2 days.  I am not much into dubstep, but this one I kinda enjoy.

Earworm: Smooth Criminal – Michael Jackson [and Alien Ant Farm Cover]

For the past few day’s, this song has come up in 2 separate conversations with 2 totally different people.  And Annie has been stuck in my head since.  I think I like this song more cause of the music video.  That lean that they did was just epic.  And for reason’s unbeknownst to me, this song was made into a video game by Sega, titled Moonwalker.   Alien Ant Farm also covered this song some years ago, and it was a nice faithful rock rendition, and the video for that was just a big homage to the King of Pop.  As always, the Michael Jackson video is filled with amazing choreography, and his distinct dance moves.

Enjoy

Earworm: Locked Outta Heaven – Bruno Mars

This bloody song has been in essence an earworm since it started playing in the airwaves.  I’m not a big fan of Mr. Bruno Mars, and the fact that this song is stuck in my head bothers me.

I do admit it is quite catchy, but UNGH!

 
 

Earworm: “Welcome Home” by Radical Face

A smooth and relaxing song for you guys.

The soft guitar and clapping really make me feel happy. The song’s music video is trippy, honestly. Out of focus shots, slow movements…

Enjoy the song!

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: Feel The Love – Rudimental Ft. John Newman

This song I first heard sometime ago when it first came out before it got popular.  Then I saw the video.  If you haven’t seen it yet, it’s odd to say the least.  It’s an actual community in Philadelphia that has horses.

Enjoy.
