Music Monday -- 2012

As part of my ongoing celebration for my 30th birthday, I am highlighting some popular songs from throughout my years.  Songs were picked based off of a list of Grammy award winners and Billboard Top 100.  Then, I chose my favorites to highlight.

Year: 2012

Music Selections: I realize that it is only September, but I've come to the end of my Music Mondays My Years posts.  So I thought I would end them with some of my favorites for this year so far.

  1. Florence + the Machine "What the Water Gave Me" -- Such a beautiful song.  This is hands down my favorite song on the album.
  2. The Black Keys "Gold on the Ceiling" -- Who doesn't love The Black Keys?  I would take them home any day.
  3. Green Day "Oh Love" -- While I wasn't that excited about 21st Century Breakdown, I am loving this song...
  4. David Guetta feat. Sia "Titanium" -- This is my summer song.
  5. The Shins "Simple Song" -- Another favorite band. I love this song way too much and James Mercer's voice is to die for...
  6. Jack White "Sixteen Saltines" -- I really must buy this album. I love everything Jack White does.
  7. Santigold "Disparate Youth" -- I'm not a huge fan of hers, but I love the music behind this one.
  8. Mumford and Sons "I Will Wait" -- I can't wait until the new album. I already pre-ordered it on iTunes.
  9. Alex Clare "Too Close" -- A relatively new find for me. Love his voice.

Music Monday -- 2010

As part of my ongoing celebration for my 30th birthday, I am highlighting some popular songs from throughout my years.  Songs were picked based off of a list of Grammy award winners and Billboard Top 100.  Then, I chose my favorites to highlight.  

Year: 2010

Book: Fables: Witches

Music Selections:

  1. Lady Antebellum "Need You Now"
  2. Muse "The Resistance"
  3. The Black Keys "Tighten Up"
  4. Switchfoot "Hello Hurricane"
  5. Eminem and Rihanna "Love the Way You Lie"

I adore Lady Antebellum.  I can't say that I like many country artists, but Lady Antebellum has become a favorite.  Muse is one of my favorite bands.  Ditto for The Black Keys.  I am a spot in my heart for Switchfoot.  The odd one is Eminem and Rihanna.  There's just something about that song that gets me every time.  I find myself singing along...  Enjoy these music choices!

Music Monday - The Black Keys "Howlin' for You"

It's a rainy cold day here in Omaha.  So I've been listening to some bluesy music, especially The Black Keys.  Enjoy!

Lyrics (my favorite lines in bold):

I must admit I can't explain All these thoughts racing Through my brain

It's true Baby I'm howlin' for you

There's something wrong With this plot The actors here Have not got

A clue Baby I'm howlin' for you

Mockingbird Can't you seeThe little girl'sGot a hold on me

Like glue Baby I'm howlin' for you

Throw the ball To the stick Swing and miss In the catcher's mitt

Strike two Baby I'm howlin' for you
