Ah, good old Paramore. Although, this isn’t old Paramore. This is a different sound, and it’s a little reminiscent of early 2000’s pop-rock, like No Doubt.
Paramore’s Now is the first single off their new album Paramore, and it has been stuck in my head since I first listened to it last night. It’s actually a really good song. The lyrics have meaning, the guitar is crazy, and it doesn’t really hurt that I love Hayley Williams.
She can do no wrong, in my eyes. Except that crazy hairstyle she rocked in the music video for B.O.B’s Airplanes… That was… Interesting.
Anyway, here’s the audio released by FueledByRamen, hope you enjoy the song!
I know what you’re thinking. “Who the fuck is Lana Del Rey?”
She’s a hipster icon, if there were any other way to describe it.
Many girls in my school, (‘ratchet hoe” or not,) try listening to her music. The majority of those, of course, understand none of it, and still say they “love” her music. Many other girls just plain hate her guts.
I’m by no means in love with her music, but I do believe she has talent. Certain songs are better than others, just like with every artist.
Lana Del Rey has her own unique style and her voice has incredible range. It really helps her that she’s incredibly beautiful (to some, meaning, well, me).
I dig her music, she’s an individual and is a different sound from all the crappy pop that we’ve all been exposed to in the recent months, and her album Born To Die isn’t a bad listen. I like it.
My favorite song off the whole album is Radio, and it is one of those songs that gets imprisoned in your head. It’s been an Earworm for a while, and I’ve put off telling you guys about it until now, and I hope I wasn’t wrong in this decision.
Hope you guys enjoy it, if not, try other songs, too. Don’t be a one track mind! (One track. Get it? Music… heh)
Sorry. Nearly two weeks without a post from me. Being sick, being bombarded with Spanish tests (thanks a mountain, Ms. E), and in general just not having enough time, my posting has dipped. It’s midterm week starting tomorrow, and I’m not stressing so much as I am just happy the school year is flying by.
I guess, with all the schoolwork, you could say I’m lost in the heat of it all.
Frank Ocean will start my Earworms off right, as it ended the past season of Earworm fairly well.
This song, Lost, is the 11th song off of his debut album, Channel Orange.
Surely Frank will be nominated for Grammy’s this year, and hopefully he wins some (even though, in my mind, awards for doing what you love doesn’t matter, as long as you’re happy).
While at work today, we were just randomly humming songs, and basically just singing or well yelling out random lyrics to whatever song that first pops into our head based off on what was said last. Our office manager started humming Bohemian Raphsody, and we all just started singing it. So finally my co-worker puts it on, and after hearing it again for who know’s how many times, it’s still an awesome and amazing song. Possibly one of the best songs out there. It has so many elements to it, and it truly is a timeless piece.
This got me thinking, how come bands like Queen aren’t around anymore. Instead we get rubbish canned, thoughtless music that’s basically written to be catchy and sell millions, but seriously you get tired of it after a week, and even if you hear it some years later, it still sucks. I don’t think there’s a song that’s been released in the last few years that’s really stood out for me, and well, be a classic. I’m sure there is, but what’s been played on air, not much. I got these thoughts also due to ‘A Dose of Buckley’s‘ latest list, of Most Horrible Songs of 2012, and I totally agree with his list, it’s all garbage, and it’s a shame that these artists are making money off of these poor quality songs. The actual good stuff that’s worth listening to gets drowned out by the likes of ‘Gangnam Style’, and whatever Taylor Swift releases or what not. Not entirely bad per say, but it’s not going to be a classic in the future. I listen to the 90’s and the Pulse on Sirius XM, and some of the song’s that we’re hits back then, you hear them now, and you’re like “WTF, I liked this shit?” In any case, this song made it to # 163 on Rolling Stones top 500 songs list. Shame, it should have been higher.
We survived 2012, and we get to live the rest of our lives.
I think I’ll take the time to actually run through a list of things I accomplished this year. Trust me, it’ll be a short list.
Watched the Doctor Who revamp in completion and am up to date with the show at Series 7 part 2
Watched both series of the miniseries BBC Masterpiece: Sherlock and am actually not confused but awaiting the next series
Opened my ears to more musical genres
Hit 6 ft in height
Made the decision to strive for art as a career
Live without the past.
I can’t stress enough that 2012 may have been the most unexciting year in my life, but it really is the year that I felt most human. Most vulnerable and curious and obviously the year I felt most mature.
I’m glad to have been able to share my musical tastes with you, our audience. I hope to continue to update you of my Earworms and just things I find interesting.
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.
Funny rap songs with meaning behind them? Even better.
The last verse of this catchy and hilarious song actually makes so much sense. Why pay so much money to buy something that won’t even make you look unique? It’s not like buying expensive clothes get you the ladies (or men, or, hell, both). Yeah, the style might help.
But why pay full price? Thrift Shop. This is fucking awesome.
This earworm is literally embedded in my head. I can’t stop singing the hook, and the rapping is actually really smooth. I can dig it.
Nothing but good things have been spewing from the depths of Spotify’s radio station based off of artist Foster the People (except for the occasional Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj garbage due to Foster the People’s mainstream popularity).
My listening to Young the Giant is a byproduct of my listening to Foster the People. And I don’t regret it.
The song that’s been festering in my mind for a bit now is My Body.
On their Remix EP, the song is remixed by one of my favorite bands, Two Door Cinema Club.
Ah, rock and roll. The good old image of unkempt men, playing their loud music in small rooms, thrashing venues and getting chicks.
This song is just fantastic. The catchy chorus that is easily sung can improve anyone’s mood.
It reminds me of The Strokes and maybe The Killers.
Have a listen. (I’d advise opening a new tab while listening to this, the video is NSFW due to its sexual nature and semi-nudity. Plus the band doesn’t look too appealing. But their musical skills are great. so listen.)
