Imagine Dragons - On Top of the World

I was introduced to 'Imagine Dragons' by my awesome buddy Ahmed The Carrot Head when he gave me a link to their song Radioactive. I was debating whether I should post Top of the World or Radioactive, because I love both just as much! One is happy and makes me smile, while the other is darker and fused with energy. I, off course, ended up posting the happy one because I'm a happy hippie like that. And honestly, their whole EP is just amazing. I've five-stared 5 out of the 6 songs on it! See...

Enough about me. Listen to this now.

If you like what you hear, then I seriously advise you to get their EP. Take a listen here.

Sixx:A.M. - Sure Feels Right

This is unlike them. It's so laid back. Kind of reminds me of Ringside or Stereophonics, maybe even old school Train. I like all their other stuff too, but this song is different. I love this. You will love it too.

Mogwai - Take Me Somewhere Nice

Just switch your brain off and listen.

Sublime with Rome - Take it or Leave it

This is such a happy tune! Summer day with lemonade by the pool?

Matthew Mayfield - Heart in Wire

Not only do I have an awesome song for you today, but I'm also posting the album "trailer" of Matthew's upcoming album. I'm so excited. Heck, I'm ecstatic! Every artist making a new record has to say this is the finest of their work, that this album is very personal, different, deep and whatever. Usually, that's complete BS, but in this case, I believe it's true. It sounds so perfect, so simple, so Matthew! I can't wait till Tuesday!

 

I don't know why I keep listening to this guy when his voice alone makes me cry.

From his new album A Banquet For Ghosts, here's Heart in Wire, for you.

 

Matthew's singing voice is the best I've heard. Ever. And the fact that he writes incredible lyrics lands him a fancy spot on my all-time favorite artists list. In fact, seeing him perform live is one of the top things on my bucket list.

Milow - Little in the Middle

I'm a diehard fan of Milow's. I've been listening to his version of 50 cent's Ayo Technology since it came out in 2008. I actually had the pleasure of meeting him on the 27th of September, 2011, which happens to be the day of my 24th birthday! He's an incredibly nice guy with an oh-so-perfect smile. After I met him, his albums were on repeat for months.
His videos are always weird. So weird.

And here is an episode of his American tour video diary. Can you spot me? :D

I loooorrrveeee Milow! <3

Biffy Clyro - Many of Horror

I don't know how this song ended up on my iPod, but oh i'm so glad I found it there!

Enjoy :)

Panic at the Disco - Always

I believe their last album didn't get quarter the buzz it deserves. It's one of those albums you can listen to every song on, and more than a couple of songs are absolutely perfect!

Joey Ryan & Kenneth Pattengale - Permanent

There you go. Enjoy!

Ed Sheeran - The A Team

I do not remember where or how I got to know Ed song. All I know is that I found his albums on my iTunes and I can't stop smiling while listening to him.

Here's a random thought, how about you do something nice for a complete stranger today?

SuperHeavy - I Don't Mind

Get. the. album.

For about 2 weeks, this album was all I could play.

Slash ft. Kid Rock - I Hold On

Night, x

Brooke Fraser - Something in the Water

Maximum joy one song can bring!

Tracy Chapman - Sing for You

I do! I do remember!

William Fitzsimmons - Good Morning

This song is my alarm tune. His voice makes me wake up happy.

His song When I Come Home has a line that goes "Turn on the light, ready or not, I'm not what you wanted, I'm what you got". I love that.

Robbie Williams - Me and My Monkey

An oldie. This is one of my favorite Robbie songs. Very underrated!  And I'm still not sure what to think of the lyrics... so deep, so deep.

The Cloud Room - Hey Now Now

This was on a Pepsi ad many many years ago. You know when you hear part of a song on TV or something and go "oh, this song is perfect! I gotta have it!". Then when you listen to the whole thing, you're disappointed. Yeah, this one isn't like that. This song is awesome from start to end.

Matt Hires - Honey, Let Me Sing You A Song

Today, Matt is singing you a song.

Flight Facilities ft. Giselle - Crave You

Ayman, a friend of mine, has this unique taste in music. He gives me the awesomest songs! 

He also happens to like DJing, check out his soundcloud page.

Counting Crows - Round Here

Because I'm not feeling so good today. And because this is the song I listen to when I feel like crap.

I actually found this song when reading Harlan Coben's The Woods. Good read, good music.

Hope you're having a better day than I am! Cheers.

Joe Purdy - Can't Get It Right Today

For days when nothing goes right.. like today.

Travis - Big Chair

Why do people like Coldplay more than these guys?

Camera Can't Lie - Shine For Me

This song is the sweetest. I dare you to listen to it and not smile. 

I first heard it on Lowe's ad. They play the best songs on their ads!
