I am, in no way, shape, or form a John Mayer fan. In fact I know nothing of the man except he made this song, and it’s quite good.
I only heard about this song because a girl on YouTube did a cover of it, and I thought it was really relaxing.
Upon hearing the Mayer version, I downloaded it without hesitation.
The only video for this song is of the live in L.A performance video, and it is great quality. And from what I’ve heard, he is much better live than in studio.
Enjoy. (Damn, how I wish I could sing and play the guitar the way he does. I’d be a media jackass, too.)
A real rock song. Off El Camino, “Gold on the Ceiling” has been used in numerous advertisements including in the teasers for one of my favorite shows, Swamp People. I heard it being played at MSG and on ESPN NBA Sunday Showcase, too. The song is really good, guys and gals. Really good.
Let me remind you that this list is not compiled in any order, it is just numbered appropriately as so you can go through the list with ease in the future.
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.
Ah, an unreleased song. Songs that artists maybe intended to place on a prior EP or LP and are/were maybe holding it off till the next album… I love them. I also love being one of the first of the inevitable hundreds of thousands or millions to listen to it.
I follow a blog all about Frank Ocean on tumblr, and late this weekend, I happened to have been scrolling through my dash and stumbled onto this unreleased gem. I downloaded the song, and went to sleep. Little had I known that I’d even heard it before Billboard had heard it! When I woke up, Billboard hadn’t posted anything about the leaked song, and about an hour after I’d awoken, Billboard posted about it.
Anyway, the song. I love it. It reminds me of a lot of his older work (The Lonny Breaux Collection, a conglomerate of songs with a rather unique sound), I wouldn’t be surprised if this were one of the songs that shouldn’t have been a part of the collection but never made it. Maybe it was even a snub from Channel Orange; you never know, because unless you’re the artist or the producer, you truly never know.
Actually, it makes more sense for the song to be a snub from Channel Orange that was actually a part of his Channel Orange Sessions. Most people tend to believe that, actually.
Apologies in advance if you take a listen and the song won’t play; UMG has gone on a copyright tear and actually has taken down several of the videos that had the song. Oh well. This is a good, unaltered version for you all:
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.
The first Justin Bieber song to ever make it to the Earworm category.
A moment of silence for the amount of respect The Big Cheese had for me, because it probably all died in the moment he read the title of this post.
I highly doubt that I’ll be a fan of his work from this moment on, but Justin Bieber does deserve some respect. Gotta admit, he can sing (this is subjective), regardless of how feminine he may sound. Now, his chart topping pop songs are ridiculously irritating, but who are we to talk? He’s rich, has talent (which, again, is subjective), and probably gets more girls in one day than any of us do in a year.
I don’t mind Bieber anymore actually, but I do not like those Beliebers. They’re horrendous. No offense if you are one. But I very much dislike you.
The only reason I’d caught wind of this song at all (again, I don’t follow the Biebz), is because of a few of my favorite YouTubers making covers of the song. I first heard the AJ Rafael and Cathy Nguyen version, then I listened to the JR Aquino rendition, and I didn’t think the lyrics were too tacky, so I decided to give it a listen.
To my surprise, I actually didn’t hate it. In fact, I liked it. It wasn’t stupid, and his voice wasn’t highly annoying for once, so I gave it a chance to settle in my brain.
Soon enough, it joined my Spotify playlist, much to my chagrin.
During the interview, Jeremy talked about the success of the band and the history of their best selling album, Rumours. I never learned so much about the history of one album in such a short span of time.
A song that I’ve heard countless times before, Go Your Own Way, was mentioned, and it’s been stuck in my head ever since.
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.
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.
I just wrote a blog
