10/26/09 Earworms

Yikes, I just realized I've been remiss in posting my earworms, which are usually what I've thrown into my on the go playlist that week, and my current list is threatening to swallow me whole!

"Bad Guy" - Mindy Smith

"Am I just someone you call when you need someone to keep" & "You tell me that I'm crazy, you tell me that I've lost my mind but you're the one behind the wheel, driving me across that line" seal the deal with me on this song

"Wiggley Fingers" - Patty Griffin

I just rediscovered Griffin's "Flaming Red" cd. I firmly believe it's a must have

"You're Gonna Want Me" - Shane Dwight

Momma loves a little dirty blues

"The Royal We" - Silversun Pickups

This might be the earwormiest of them all, I've developing a serious music crush on Silversun Pickups, they sound different enough to stand out but familiar enough to be completely addictive

"Drive" - Gary Go

One of the best covers I've heard in a long time, Gary Go elevates The Cars tune to a beautiful new level

"Fearless" - Taylor Swift

You may have noticed I love Taylor. This is my current favorite off her disc of the same name. Just makes me smile

"Clockwork" - Mutemath

Mutemath (Mute Math? I still don't know) was introduced to me through the Twilight soundtrack, but their latest cd "Armistice" is fantasti. I air drum with this song, sad but true

"I Shall Believe" - Sheryl Crow

Another oldie buy goodie, still a little haunting, still extremely sexy

"Boom" - Anjulie

Great combo of slinky and danceable that makes it perfect music to get ready to

"Friends" - Band of Skulls

Exactly why I was so excited when I first learned BOS was going to be included on the New Moon soundtrack, I love them and can't wait for everyone else to love them. My fave song on the soundtrack (at least today)

"Junebug" - Robert Francis

Perfect driving with the windows down song, even if it's too cold to do that anymore

"Beautiful Is Gone" - The Ruse

The only band to ever randomly start following me on twitter that I found I really really love. I don't understand how this isn't a #1 song.

"Through & Through & Through" - Joel Plaskett

Kind of retro, late 70's feel makes it a lazy Sunday song

"Happy Ending" - Mika

I admit, I make up elaborate movie scenes in my head to this song on the el in the morning

"Feeling Good" - Muse

What Adam Lambert was aiming for when he did this song on American Idol

10/09/10 Earworms

Fall always brings about a little moodiness to my musical taste, maybe it has something to do with Halloween coming or just my reluctance to let go of summer. The exception to this is my continuing obsession with Cobra Starship. It's becoming a problem.

Bulletproof – La Roux

I listen to this once and I hum it for hours

Satellite Heart – Anya Marina

Kills me, the desire for the rest of the New Moon soundtrack rolls off me in waves

Dead Sound – The Raveonettes

Trippy retro sound, absolutely addictive

Relator – Pete Yorn & Scarlett Johansson

Again with the "who knew I liked ScoJo"

Show Love – Hollis Brown

Happy 70's Southern rock feel

Nice Guys Finish Last – Cobra Starship

Shake what your momma gave you

Hot Mess – Cobra Starship

Then shake it some more

Don’t Say Goodbye – The Veronicas (feat. Tania Doko)

Sucked me in from "All cried out..."

My Body’s A Zombie For You – Dead Man’s Bones

This doesn't sound like anything else I own, that's why I like it

Cold Fame – Band of Skulls

If you like Kings of Leon, odds are excellent you will dig this

Sometime Around Midnight (Acoustic Version) – The Airborne Toxic Event

I've worn this song out. It's the new "Mr. Brightside" as far as I'm concerned

Torch – Alanis Morissette

You can taste the Ryan Reynolds breakup heartbreak. This entire cd is outstanding.
