Songs I'm Loving Right Now

Almost every day, new songs are played on the radio and on the internet. Some are nice while others are disappointing. It's like as the years go by, music seems to get more....well, I don't know. Maybe not as memorable as the music of the yesteryears. It's just a shame. After all, anyone can be famous now even though you sing really bad(Yes, you, Rebecca Black). But I'd like to think that music these days is a bit promising because there's a whole variety to choose from and if you're smart enough, you won't stop to listen to Friday when you know there are much better stuff out there.

Anyway, these are the songs I'm currently liking now. I know. Most of these stuff came around the Friday first surfaced and I still thin it's sad that new songs that are wicked don't get as much recognition. Let's start with my current LSS list, okay?

1.Tonight, Tonight by Hot Chelle Rae

God, I love thissss. I just discovered it a few weeks ago on the internet radio and it's the band's first single for 2011. And here's a trivia: vocalist Nash Overstreet is the brother of Chord Overstreet! OMG! ASKJAKJDKLDJKLJDKJJ. I DIE, LITERALLY. XDD. But this song is fun and the lyrics are clever. Try to check it out. :D



2.Bipolar Baby by Forever the Sickest Kids

This song is from the band's new self-titled album. I've been a fan FTSK for quite some time now and if you're a fan, too then you better take a spin of this. It's rad. It's just as awesome as their other older songs



3.I Wanna Be Adored by The Raveonettes

This is a cover of the Stone Roses classic and it's just as great. Maybe a bit too much like the original but the only edge in this cover is that it's sung by a girl. For me, it's one of those rare revivals that sound just as good as the original or maybe even better. :D



4.Turn it Up by Pixie Lott

Discovered this while listening to the internet radio, too. And it's funny because this song was from 2009 and god, I should've discovered it earlier because I like Pixie Lott even though I'm not really a fan. It's a great song especially when you need to move on from someone(like someone I know who needs to. :P hahaha). It's a great song to dance with your girl friends while bashing the person you once loved. Hahahaha



5.Backseat by New Boyz feat The Cataracs and Dev

This song is perfection. I think it's the fact that Dev is in the song(HUGE fan of hers) but whatever, this song is genius. I love listening to it. A great song to party to.



6.E.T. by Katy Perry feat Kanye West

I have to tell the truth: The first time I heard this song I hated it. I never thought it would be a hit. But the one I heard before sounded a bit different than the one they play now(hello, I don't remember Kanye West rapping the first time I heard the song). I'm hooked to this song now although the music vid scared the shit out of me



7.Bow Chicka Wow Wow by Mike Posner

Another song I hated the first time I heard it. But I like this song now, okay? I like the way it was arranged musically. Gee...took quite a few listens just to appreciate this song. XDD



8.When Strangers Fall in Love by Dev

I only heard a snippet of this song since they haven't launched the full song yet but God, I am in love with this song. Is it me or Dev's songs seem to be underrated? Seriously, she has cool songs and I hate that only one(Bass Down Low)is a hit. Please, dapat lahat na hit.

Okay so that's about it on my current hot music radar. Check them all out and if by soem chance you already know some of them, then you have good taste. XDD. LOL Kidding! hahahaha. Hyper ako ngayon.

Don McLean Live in Manila

Rumor has it that Don McLean died. :|



Nearly 40 years later, guess who's coming to Manila and definitely put this rumor to rest?

It's funny that at the height of his fame back in the 70's that rumor came up. I should know because I have these really old Jingle song books/music magazines and it was reported there. Seems like every famous person went through that kind of rumor. Although that rumor was false, he was gone from the music industry long enough for everyone to wonder "What happened to him?" Even my mom(who's a huge fan of his music even way back then) is unsure if he is still alive or not.

But he's alive(YES!!! \m/) and kickin' and he's going to perform live at the Araneta Center at 8 PM.

I grew up listening to old music and his works were no exception. I even had the lyrics of American Pie in my old songbooks and attempt to memorize it all the time!(Sadly, I couldn't. hahaha) And my favorite song of his would be "Birthday Song" because even when I was younger, I wished that someone would sing that on my birthday(ECHOS! AMBONGGA NAMAN! LOLOLOLOLOL). But I love singing to his songs. I LAAAAB DA WAY YOU LAB MEEEEEHHHH....;-D

True Fact that You Already Know but I Will Still Say Anyway: This guy looooves Buddy Holly(McLean's American Pie album is dedicated to him) and the song American Pie was inspired by him and his death(along with Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper ). Also, there's an interpretation behind the song's lyrics so check the song's Wiki to find out.

"A Starry, Starry Night with Don McLean" is produced by Ovation Productions.


Note: I wasn't paid to advertise this and wish I was. XDD. I only wrote this entry because as a longtime fan I think it's great to write something about him
