Brand New - Deja Entendu

2011-01-04T18:53:00.000-08:00

I can't express enough how much I love this band and this album. I feel like it's the soundtrack to my life over the past year. I've been listening to Me Vs. Maradona Vs. Elvis over and over.

And over.

Such a great song, I love the melody and the chorus just gets to me. It just feels so familiar.

Pierce The Veil - A Flair For The Dramatic

2010-07-20T07:22:00.000-07:00

The lil sis introduced me to this band and it's growing on me. I'm not a big fan of there 'screamo' songs but there are some really good more relaxing songs on this album that are worth trying out.

Violent Soho - Jesus Stole My Girlfriend

2010-04-15T13:00:00.001-07:00

I think the lyrics are pretty funny:

Jesus Stole My Girlfriend

Every day every afternoon
tried so hard but lost to God.

This time next year I´ll be married
this time next year I´ll say sorry
but Jesus stole my girlfriend.

I thought you´re my friend. I´ll guess again
I look to the clouds God gives me a frown.

This time next year I´ll be married
this time next year I´ll say sorry
but Jesus stole my girlfriend.

Try to talk to me again.
I´ll never even sing or do anything.

Jesus stole my girlfriend.

Stone Temple Pilots - Between The Lines

2010-04-07T09:02:00.000-07:00

Stone Temple Pilot's are back from the dead! This is their first single in 9 friggen years, can it revive them?

What do you think?

Listen Here

Muse - Black Holes & Revelations

2010-04-02T08:05:00.000-07:00

I love Muse! They have a concert in Utah this Monday! Too bad, I don't have tickets.

*tear*

Lady Gaga - The Fame Monster

2010-03-30T08:12:00.000-07:00

I don't know why the photographer didn't tell her that her mascara was running. You'd think a professional would notice something like that!

This album is kind of an add-on to her Fame CD, it includes 8 more songs that keep me going while I'm spring cleaning.

My fav right now is Bad Romance. It's still stuck in my head!

Check out the video here.

Jack Johnson - On and On

2010-03-26T08:26:00.000-07:00

My favorite song is Taylor.

Listen HERE

Nine Inch Nails - With Teeth

2010-03-24T09:45:00.000-07:00

This is a great album to play on a rainy day. Especially if you have to drive home in the rain accompanied with a billion other people who decided they need to get home from work too so the freeways are jam packed.

Yeah, it's a good album for that.

Gwen Stefani - Love Angel Music Baby

2010-03-19T09:09:00.000-07:00

Oh Gwen, I love her! I even got my dad listening to her now! And a certain male coworker, ssshhhh!

Neon Trees: Animal

2010-03-16T08:52:00.000-07:00

Neon Trees is a local (to me) band from Utah! Imagine that. I love their single, check it out:

Animal

Flyleaf: Treasure

2010-03-12T14:24:00.000-08:00

Treasure is my favorite song from Flyleaf's Memento album. I love the lead singer, Lacey Mosley, her voice is amazing and I think she is just beautiful!

Listen Here

Treasure

That night I felt like I'd become something treasured, different.

Can I tell you a story as we dance while the sun starts to bleed
Song of songs love is calling daughter wake up from your sleep

Refined I'll become the most dazzling precious treasure
I'll be treasured over all the earth

Bearing the gift of a new heart
Patience ablaze I'm slowly burning

//Refined ill become the most dazzling precious treasure
Ill be treasured over all the earth//

I am in awe and in shock
I'm in love and given away
I'm reserved with these words:

Can I tell you a story as we dance while the sun starts to bleed
Trees rejoice with the wind here
Hallelujah, Yes Shua

Tonight I've become the most dazzling precious treasure
I am treasured over all the earth

Just look at what he's done
How he's laying down his life
Take this life
Oh most dazzling precious treasure
Tonight I've become the most dazzling precious treasure
I am treasure over all the earth.

Justin Timberlake - Future Sex/Love Sounds

2010-03-10T08:29:00.000-08:00

I was never a real fan of NSYNC but I love me some Justin Timberlake!

Lady Gaga - Paparazzi

2010-03-10T07:48:00.000-08:00

This song has been in my head for almost a month now! I feel ashamed to admit that I do like her CD. It's perfect to play while your cleaning the house!

Gorillaz - Demon Days

2010-03-02T08:54:00.000-08:00

This is an old one I pulled out a couple days ago, my favorite track is "Feel Good Inc" it's just so happy!

Here's the full track listing:

1. "Intro" (Gorillaz/Don Harper) – 1:03
2. "Last Living Souls" – 3:10
3. "Kids with Guns" (featuring Neneh Cherry) – 3:47
4. "O Green World" – 4:32
5. "Dirty Harry" (featuring Bootie Brown & Children's Choir of San Fernandez.) (Gorillaz/Romye Robinson) – 3:43

The Temper Trap - Sweet Disposition

2010-02-25T15:56:00.000-08:00

This song is constantly on the radio.

CONSTANTLY!

The song is okay but it's become a bit annoying.

The White Stripes - Elephant

2010-02-23T15:35:00.000-08:00

Today I set my ipod to shuffle and, as you probably have guessed, this White Stripes album came up. I haven't listened to it in a long long time, in fact I forgot I had it!

I'd say there are only 2 songs worth purchasing on this CD:

Track 1: Seven Nation Army
Track 9: The Hardest Button to Button

The rest of the CD is pretty forgettable and starts sounding all the same. At least to me.

So save your dough and just download those to songs on itunes!

30 Seconds To Mars - "Night of the Hunter"

2010-02-18T12:03:00.001-08:00

"Night of the Hunter" is from their new album, "This is War", which I haven't listened to yet but I do like this song in particular. I own their last album but it was a little repetitive to me, all the songs sounded the same, so I'm curious to see how their new effort holds up.

Listen here

Night of the Hunter

I was born of the womb of a poisonous spell
Beaten and broken and chased from the lair
But I rise up above it, high up above it and see
I was hung from the tree made of tongues of the weak
The branches were bones of liars and thieves
Rise up above it, high up above and see

Pray to your god, open your heart
Whatever you do, don't be afraid of the dark
Cover your eyes, the devil inside

One night of the hunter
One day I will get revenge
One night to remember
One day it'll all just end, oh

(Une, deux, trois, cinq)
Blessed by a bitch from a bastard's seed
Pleasure to meet you but prepare to bleed
Rise, I'll rise, I'll rise
Skinned her alive, ripped her apart
Scattered her ashes, buried her heart
Rise up above it, high up above and see

Pray to your god, open your heart
Whatever you do, don't be afraid of the dark
Cover your eyes, the devil inside

One night of the hunter
One day I will get revenge
One night to remember
One day it'll all just end, oh

Honest to God I'll break your heart
Tear you to pieces and rip you apart
Honest to God I'll break your heart
Tear you to pieces and rip you apart
Honest to God I'll break your heart
Tear you to pieces and rip you apart
Honest to God I'll break your heart
Tear you to pieces and rip you apart

One night of the hunter
One day I will get revenge
One night to remember
One day it'll all just end, oh

Cage The Elephant

2010-02-14T20:47:00.000-08:00

Their self titled debut album!

Alanis Morissette - Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie

2010-02-12T13:30:00.000-08:00

I picked this used CD up at Gray Whale for 3 bucks! I remember listening to this when I was in High School. We even did a dance to a couple of the songs on it for the Drill Team.

Lots of good memories!

It's definitely a great angry chick CD!

Flyleaf - Memento Mori

2010-02-10T08:52:00.000-08:00

I love this cd. I am a big Fly Leaf fan and this CD is better than their first. There are so many good tracks plus it comes with a bonus CD with 4 additional songs!

I love chick rockers.

Pink - Glitter In The Air

2010-02-04T20:15:00.000-08:00

I saw this video over at Jenny Mac's blog and fell in love.

With the performance AND the song.

Cage The Elephant New Single - Back Against The Wall

2010-02-03T07:53:00.000-08:00

I was introduced to Caged By The Elephant last year when their single "Aint No Rest For The Wicked" was released and instantly fell for them. They are a rock band but with a unique hip 21st century vibe.

This new single has a little softer feel to it but it is definitely worth checking out and if their new album is any reflection of this song, then I will definitely be buying the album too!

Franz Ferdinand (Self Titled Album)

2010-01-28T14:25:00.001-08:00

This is another album that I happened upon in the used CD section at Grey Whale. I loved their newest CD so I thought I'd try out their old one and I love it too! You've gotta keep an eye out in the Used CD section, you can find some real gems!

Here is the track list:

1. "Jacqueline"
2. "Tell Her Tonight"
3. "Take Me Out"
4. "The Dark of the Matinée"
5. "Auf Achse"
6. "Cheating on You"
7. "This Fire"
8. "Darts of Pleasure"
9. "Michael"
10. "Come on Home"
11. "40'"

My favorite song on the album is "Take Me Out", listen to it HERE

Justin Timberlake - Justified

2010-01-25T19:51:00.000-08:00

Wandering around Grey Whale the other day, I happened across Justin's first CD, Justified. I'm a sucker for CDs, so I snagged it.

I loved his second album, Future Sex Love Sounds, so I that for $5? Why not. I listened to it over the weekend while I cleaned the house, and it definitely kept me going (and dancing)!

I love "Cry Me A River"

Linkin Park - Not Alone

2010-01-22T07:37:00.000-08:00

After Linkin Park heard of the disaster that happened in Haiti, they resurrected a song they started three years ago called "Not Alone". It is available to download only and encourages fans to donate to the Haiti relief. It is a great song, it's one of their softer songs, which I love!

Linkin Park, along with Alanis Morissette, All-American Rejects, Dave Matthews Band, Enrique Iglesias, Hoobastank, Peter Gabriel, and others have all contributed to the "Download to Donate for Haiti" compilation.

Go to "Music For Relief" to download the album. 100% of the funds will help fund various Haiti Relief organizations.

Nelly Furtado - Whoa Nelly!

2010-01-15T09:07:00.000-08:00

This was Nelly's debut album, before she went all hip hop on us. Which isn't a bad thing, I'm just sayin. This album is a mix of ethic, folk, and pop. You will probably recognize her song "I'm like a bird" which was one of the popular songs played on the radio.

Track List:

1. Hey, Man!
2. ....On The Radio (Remember The D...
3. Baby Girl
4. Legend
5. I'm Like A Bird
6. Turn Off The Light
7. Trynna Finda Way
8. Party
9. Well, Well
10. My Love Grows Deeper Part 1
11. I Will Make U Cry
12. Scared Of You

Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream

2010-01-14T11:25:00.000-08:00

I love old school Smashing Pumpkins. This album came out in 1993 and was SP's breakthrough album. I'm sure everyone has heard "Today" and "Disarm", they are classics! By listening to the first 2 tracks of the CD, "Cherub Rock" & "Quiet", you may be thinking the CD is all grungy but as you listen further it's really anti-grunge.

Here is the full track list:

1. Cherub Rock
2. Quiet
3. Today
4. Hummer
5. Rocket
6. Disarm
7. Soma
8. Geek U.S.A.
9. Mayonaise
10. Spaceboy
11. Silverfuck
12. Sweet Sweet
13. Luna

A Piano: The Collection - Tori Amos

2010-01-11T11:40:00.000-08:00

Oh my God, there is so much music here I don't even know where to start. Yes Jeanne, 5 CDs is a lot to take in!

My husband gave this to me for Christmas and it wasn't easy to find! I just LOVE the packaging for this collection, look how gorgeous.

It even has Bösendorfer written on the side, which Tori has named the best piano in the world. These pianos follow Tori everywhere!

“All I knew was -- when I touched her -- that she became my friend. And it's not as if it were one piano, it's any Bösendorfer seems to have some kind of um, understanding. They can speak, and they can listen. And I think, when you play them, you become an extension. They give you the opportunity to, anyway. If you don't choose to have a relationship -- an affair -- with them, then that is your loss, I guess.” -Tori Amos

I've never played on a Bösendorfer but I hope to some day. You know, when I'm rich and can afford a 9 foot grand piano!! *drooling*

This collection has everything including 10 previously unreleased tracks along with some alternate takes of a few Tori classics. There are 5 CDs with 86 tracks and it also includes a book about the songs and albums.

The Beatles - Revolver

2010-01-04T20:33:00.000-08:00

Another remastered Beatles album that I just HAD to buy!

Glee Volume 2

2009-12-30T15:18:00.000-08:00

While still a great CD, it doesn't beat the first volume. Of course the songs are a lot more enjoyable while actually watching the kids from Glee perform it on television, but it'll do when you're in that "musical" mode. Which happens to me a lot.

I was mostly disappointed because "Single Ladies" isn't included on the soundtrack. Com'on that was the BEST episode ever!

Enjoy!

The Beatles - The White Album

2009-12-28T11:28:00.000-08:00

Being the Beatles fanatic that I am, when I heard they had come out with the remastered copies of this and other Beatles' albums, I knew I was going to have to buy them.

I love The White Album, I only owned a copy of it before I purchased the remastered album and it just wasn't the same. There's something about owning the CD itself and looking at the leaflet inside and displaying it on your shelf.

I just love that.

Tori Amos - Midwinter Graces

2009-12-22T07:11:00.000-08:00

This is more than a Christmas Album, Tori has dubbed it a solstice album which combines songs from all beliefs and cultures. It's originally Tori. This isn't one of those Christmas albums where the artist's talent is hidden behind cheesy Christmas carols.

This is from the heart and the songs are original scores written by Tori sometimes incorporating parts of familiar Christmas songs such as Noel but with unique and beautiful melodies. This album is addicting and very peaceful, it's been a constant in my house for the holidays.

Track List:

1 - What Child, Nowell
2 - Star Of Wonder
3 - A Silent Night With You
4 - Candle: Coventry Carol
5 - Holly, Ivy & Rose
6 - Harps Of Gold
7 - Snow Angel
8 - Jeanette, Isabella
9 - Pink & Glitter
10 - Emmanuel
11 - Winter’s Carol
12 - Our New Year

Glee

2009-12-21T15:08:00.000-08:00

I love the TV show and the soundtrack is no exception.

2009-12-07T18:11:00.000-08:00

Flyleaf - Again

2009-12-02T13:16:00.000-08:00

This is Flyleaf's new single and it's not bad! No awful screaming like their last couple of songs so I'm looking forward to their CD being released.

Tori Amos - Under The Pink

2009-12-01T19:42:00.000-08:00

Yes, more Tori.

Silversun Pickups - Carnavas

2009-11-24T23:52:00.000-08:00

Red Hot Chili Peppers - By The Way

Tori Amos - Boys For Pele

2009-11-18T15:31:00.000-08:00

I've been going through all the albums on my IPOD and choosing my favorite songs to make a play list and I got stuck on this one. I included every single song as part of my favorites!

I play it over and over all day long. Sometimes you just need a little Tori in your life.

Fall Out Boy - From Under The Cork Tree

2009-11-17T07:56:00.000-08:00

This is the first Fall Out Boy CD that I ever owned and this is the CD from which my love affair with FOB sprung.

Ben Folds Five - Whatever and Ever Amen

2009-11-12T08:03:00.001-08:00

Pearl Jam - Just Breathe

2009-11-12T07:21:00.000-08:00

I might just have to buy their new CD, I didn't think Pearl Jam could come out with a good album this late in the game but I'm willing to check it out.

Sarah McLachlan - Afterglow

2009-11-05T09:16:00.000-08:00

An oldy but a goody.

Jason Derulo - Whatcha Say

2009-10-28T15:55:00.000-07:00

Ok, this song has officially grown on me. I LOVE the chorus! I think it's permanently stuck in my head!

"Mmmmmm Whatcha Saaaay"

(You're welcome)

KT Tunstall - Eye to the Telescope

2009-10-28T12:37:00.000-07:00

Love the acoustic guitar with her raw melodies. She's got such a great throaty voice I love it.

Black Horse and a Cherry Tree anyone?

Kings Of Leon - Only By The Night

2009-10-22T08:49:00.000-07:00

This is their fourth album! I didn't even know they existed until last year, but I'm glad I found them. They are definitely rockers and remind me a bit of the Rolling Stones. Not every song on the cd is a hit but it is full of rockin jams and strong ballads so it is definitely worth purchasing!

Billy Talent - Billy Talent II

2009-10-14T09:24:00.000-07:00

This cd came out in 2006 and I was just introduced to it this year by Lindee, my lil sis. You know what this cd is good for? Working out! It's the best cd to keep you pumped. For real! It's a mix of rock and screamo, I'm not usually a big fan of screamo but they keep it under control in this CD so it works.

Tool - 10,000 Days

2009-10-12T08:14:00.000-07:00

I'm a big Tool fan and I usually love all their Cd's, but this one left me a little disappointed. There are a couple of good songs but then there are songs that really are just a bunch of sound effects piled on top of each other. So it's an okay CD but definitely not my favorite Tool album.

Paramore - Brand New Eyes

2009-10-07T09:22:00.001-07:00

Oh my sweet, sweet Paramore. You've stolen my heart and it is gone forever.

The Used - Artwork

2009-10-05T08:36:00.000-07:00

I opted out of putting the cover of this album on the link because I didn't want to scare anybody away! So for your viewing pleasure...

Muse - The Resistance

2009-09-30T09:00:00.001-07:00

Here's another one I picked up over the weekend. I've only heard good things about it! Muse reminds me of Queen, of course nobody will ever be like Queen, but certain aspects of Muse definitely have a Queen sort of tint to them.

Great CD folks, Muse is one of those bands everybody can like.

Brand New - Daisy

2009-09-28T10:36:00.000-07:00

I love Brand New! It's been FOREVER since they came out with a new CD, Lindee told me that this one came out last Tuesday and that it was SO good and I SO agree!

Kings of Leon - Notion

2009-09-24T14:24:00.000-07:00

Kings of Leon's new single!

Tool - Aenima

2009-09-22T08:23:00.000-07:00

I was weeding the flower beds the other day while listening to my ipod and this Tool CD came on. Man, I forgot how much I love this CD! Maynard is my home boy, seriously. There is nobody out there that will ever compete with Maynard. (Not counting his other bands or projects!)

It's great angry music and great thinking music!

Jack Johnson - In Between Dreams

2009-09-18T08:35:00.000-07:00

I heart Jack Johnson!

U2 - How To Dismantle An Automic Bomb

2009-09-16T07:57:00.000-07:00

Love this CD! I don't think U2 will ever get old.

Audioslave - Out of Excile

2009-09-14T09:06:00.000-07:00

I've been reloading my itunes library (don't ask) so I've come across a lot of old CDs I forgot I had! This being one of them, love it! The band is actually Soundgarden's Chris Cornell with the instrumentalists from Rage Against The Machine.

Who knew?

The Pussy Cat Dolls - Doll Domination

2009-09-10T09:30:00.000-07:00

I am mostly a rocker chick but I do have my guilty pleasures, PCD being one of them. This cd is great for work outs!

Nelly Furtado - Loose

2009-09-09T11:40:00.000-07:00

Blue October - Approaching Normal

2009-09-04T13:01:00.000-07:00

I featured Blue October a while back because I loved their new single. Well now their CD has come out and I finally bought it. I love Blue October! My favorite songs on the album are "Say It" & "Dirt Room".

However "Weight Of The World" is pretty dang good too.

Lady Gaga - The Fame

2009-09-02T08:02:00.000-07:00

I know what you're thinking. You bought Lady Gaga? You?

Hey, just because I mostly listen to rock and alternative doesn't mean I don't have my guilty pleasures and one of them is dancing which is where this lady comes in ok?

So deal with it.

Lily Allen - It's Not Me, It's You

2009-08-31T07:38:00.000-07:00

I've had Lily Allen featured here before for her song The Fear and I liked it so much I finally bought her album.

Lily is kind of like Amy Whinehouse without the rats nest hairdo and drugs. And when I say like, I mean Lily is way better! I love Lily's voice when she sings because she sings with an accent.

You know when you hear a singer talk for the first time you are surprised that they have an accent because when they sing you can't tell. Well Lily is the only one I've seen that actually sings with her accent.

I love it.

The Used - Lies For The Liars

2009-08-28T13:53:00.000-07:00

Home grown right here in Utah. Orem in fact! Imagine that, Orem must be so proud!

I love The Used and not just because they are Happy Valley misfits, their music rocks. I've had this CD for a while, the only thing I don't like about them is when they scream in their songs.

Hello? That's not singing.

But I sill love them! This is the album cover:

Pearl Jam - The Fixer

2009-08-26T08:27:00.000-07:00

They're still alive. Who knew?

Maino - All The Above

2009-08-24T08:06:00.000-07:00

I'm sorry people but I can't stand this song. The lyrics just drive me crazy! They are just so stupid. I'm a hater and my husband is a lover. He blasts it in the car and even sings just to annoy me.

No more!

The Beatles - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band

2009-08-20T07:18:00.000-07:00

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I will always be a Beatles fan! Even though they are oldies,their music never gets old! So if you're not a fan, you need to check yo'self!

Natasha Bedingfield

2009-08-18T15:02:00.000-07:00

Love her.

Amberlin - Feel Good Drag

2009-08-13T08:33:00.000-07:00

Billy Boy On Poison - On My Way

2009-08-11T08:47:00.000-07:00

This band was actually introduced to me on X96. Keifer Sutherland actually came to Utah to promote the band, he is their producer. Isn't that interesting? Keifer Sutherland coming to lil ol' Utah to promote his band. Well nobody heard of them before Keifer came here and now they are huge. That happens a lot with X96, they can make no name bands huge!

Metric - Help, I'm Alive

2009-08-05T06:55:00.000-07:00

I love the beginning of this song, it's a slow pulsating and pounding opening with the echoing first line:

"I tremble"

Sung by the lead singer, a chick, Emily Haines. You know I love a chick lead singer! (Tori Amos, Paramore, Shiny Toy Guns, Gwen Stafani, etc etc) I've actually never heard of Metro before until I heard this song but I hear the whole album, Fantasies, is great!

Apparently Mark from Blink 182 is a huge fan of Metro and raves about their new album on his blog constantly.

Check out the video:

Panic! At The Disco - New Perspective

2009-08-03T14:23:00.000-07:00

I can't wait to buy Panic at the Disco's newest CD! The single "New Perspective" has been playing on the radio and I just love it!

Them me some Panic!

Manchester Orchestra - I've Got Friends

2009-07-31T09:02:00.000-07:00

JET - She's A Genius

2009-07-21T08:47:00.000-07:00

If you were to look up the definition of rock, I think Jet would be listed as an example.

Pure rock.

Lucky - Jason Mraz ft. Colbie Collait

2009-07-17T08:15:00.000-07:00

I love this song, it is so sweet!

3OH!3 - Don't Trust Me

2009-07-15T07:26:00.001-07:00

This song has been in my head for the past month!!!

Lily Allen - The Fear

2009-07-12T20:12:00.000-07:00

Check out her video here.

Paramore - Ignorance

2009-07-10T09:50:00.001-07:00

This is Paramore's newest single, Ignorance. I love the song and can't wait for their new album to come out!

Cage The Elephant - Ain't No Rest For The Wicked

2009-07-08T07:50:00.000-07:00

A great single about wicked people. What more could you want?
