life: new Music

MGMT...........................................

so i've been exploring some new music--yesterday i saw MGMT in two different places (CQ & Billboard) so i checked out their songs.

i've already herd Kids by MGMT, and i liked it, but i didn't venture out 2 hear more of their songs 4 some reason...

but i loved Kids, so why not?

I read from CQ that their new album, Celebrate, is 'new' and that 'their fans would all hate them now b/c the cd is in a different direction from the 1st'

it's pretty good.

here's Electric Feel, one of my new Faves:

METRO STATION.............................................

another new band i discovered i really liked was Metro Station, with Disney-channel's Miley Cyrus's brother and Mitchel Musso's brother.... Seventeen Forever + Shake it was pretty good, but i didn't bother 2 check them out until recently... my sister started to listen to them, and i was hooked.

here's my new ALL-TIME FAVORITE SONG: Kelsey.

i LOOOVE IT!!

3oh!3..........................

Before i discovered that i loved Metro station and MGMT, i LOVED 3OH!3. i moved onto them after i got tired of Lady Gaga--there's only so many times you can listen to those 30 songs from her two albums before you get tired of them.

i reacted to them the same way i reacted w/ Lady Gaga--wtf?! "I lost my phone?!" and wat's up with her outfit?! my exact words when i saw her for the first time on Ms. America's beauty pagent.

i first herd Don't Trust Me a year ago from two classmates, simone+jess singing it in art class--our teacher, ms. minyo, let us listen to our ipods, and would let one of us put our ipod on the dock for everyone else to enjoy.

then i herd it on the radio. i LOVED it. but when i saw their Music Video, i was like, they just KILLED an awesome song. i've been scarred for life!!

even though they're ur normal college kids--singing about booze and partying. i HATED asher roth's i love college. but i really like 3OH!3. after hearing Don't Trust Me, i explored their other songs. but i didn't like it--it grated on my ears. but now i love every one of their songs.

here's my Two ALL-TIME FAVES from 3oh!3:

Colorado Sunrise______________________

Still Around: _________________________

i couldn't get their FlipCam video, but go here for the video--it's SO different from their "Don't Trust Me" video!!

Lady Gaga....................................................

there's no place to start w/ lady gaga... i just love EVERY one of her songs. but i won't be repetitive, b/c just dance, lovegame, poker face, telephone, speechless, bad romance, and alejandro is on the charts (alejandro will be blasted out of your local radio in a few weeks. coming soon to ur local radio! XD)

here are two favorite songs from her you'll love, but it'll be our secret:

MONSTER...............................................................................



STARSTRUCK......featuring FLO-RIDA..............................



starstruck is more hip-hop, but i LOVE it!!!

Phoenix___Dirty Projectors___The XX____

sooo... i've you've never seen the Cadillac commercial, or if this song hasn't made it's way into your head yet, here's Phoenix's 1901. it's such an amazing song



i first noticed the Dirty Projectors @ my local newspaper after the rise of Phoenix--it was the reccomended Indie-band music, and the Dirty Projectors was one of them. listed 2 them, didn't dig it. a few weeks later, i hear it in XXI (forever 21), and i HAD to download it. here's the ONE song i love from them (currently i only like this one, but who knows? i'm alwasy like this w/ new music--it takes a few more times for me to like it)

STILLNESS IS THE MOVE...................................................



THE XX______________________________________

ok, well, i'm an AVID olympics-watcher/fan. so i of course cheered on APOLO OHNO in speed skating. b/c of him, i was watching speed skating for the first time ever--he's like the tiger woods of speed skating--w/o him, no one would watch that sport.

well, i got this AT&T commerical stuck in my head, and i found the song from the Cadillac commercial, so i was like, this has GOT to also be another song produced by an artist (and not by AT&T commissioned for this ad) so I FOUND IT!!!

here it is: THE XX's INTRO_____________________________________
