Playlist of the Day: The First Songs I Ever Discovered

The songs in this playlist have not necessarily stood the test of time, but they are the songs that first got my attention and got me interested in music. I remember sitting by my boombox and waiting to record (by pressing the play and record buttons at the same time) "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" whenever it would come on the radio; I named my 4th grade playground club "Express Yourself" after the Madonna song; I used to perform "Lost In Your Eyes" in my basement; and so on and so forth. These songs convinced me to shift my allowance spending from candy to blank tapes. These songs are the soundtrack of my childhood. View this Playlist on iTunes

Playlist of the Day: Guilty Pleasures 1

I often say that you can't help who or what you fall in love with. Usually I say that when people are making fun of me for loving Ryan Seacrest. I may also be forced to say that about the following songs that I consider guilty pleasures and will only sing along to when alone in my car. I had to break this playlist into installments because I realized that I like a lot of embarrassing songs.

Playlist of the Day: Good Morning, Americana

Apparently I am in a country, americana, folksy mood today. Here is a playlist that will rock you right into the work day and not back into your flannel sheets (the dilemma I am currently facing).

Love this song, can't stop listening to it. It has a great americana sound with a rock vibe. Great way to start the day. Features the Raconteurs’ Brendon Benson and Patrick Keeler, Benson co-wrote “Born Again” and plays bass, while Keeler is on the drums.

Gimme Indie Rock Prom

It has been over three months since my last post because I have been uninspired by music lately... until I got this album. LOVE IT and will be rocking to it all weekend long. Includes tracks from Passion Pit, The Hold Steady, and an awesome Tainted Love cover by My Brightest Diamond.
