But in the meantime here's some music. I like to compile my fave songs at the end of the year, but it's hard to see what I listened to most because the songs from January will have a bigger play count than a song I bought in July, even if I listened to both of them equally.
So this year I'm setting all play counts to zero every month. But first I go through the list and pick out the songs I listened to the most, and put them into folders by month. ...I know I know... eez crazy.
January
- Orion - Elizaveta
- Fall Creek Boys Choir - James Blake and Bon Iver = SO interesting. I am becoming a Bon Iver fan.
- Do It Now - Ingrid Michaelson
- Fire - Ingrid Michaelson = I'll buy this album I'm sure... when there's a job in my life.
- You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome - Miley Cyrus
- Let It Be Me - Ray LaMontagne
- Start a War - The National
- You're the One That I Want - The Lennings = You know I love covers, and this is a great one.
- Our Hearts Are Wrong - Jessica Lea Mayfield
- Good Feeling - Flo Rida = That Flo Rida... he's so hot right now.
- Turn Me On - David Guetta with Nicki Minaj = Why does Guetta have such weird videos in re women? Best comment on youtube:
- And finally "Let's Go Crazy" as covered by the worst cover band of all time: Eaton Canyon Royal Ensemble. Wish I could find more of their work.
February & March
- Roman Holiday - Nicki Minaj = Eeeeasily my fave song these days. The album isn't even out, this is just a recording of her Grammy performance. New album in April!
- Buffalo Stance - Neheh Cherry = I got into an 80s-90s mood in February.
- The Glamorous Life - Sheila E = Now that's how you do an award show performance!
- Starships - Nicki Minaj
- Baby Jane - Rod Stewart = What can I say, I was raised on him.
- Old Fashioned - Cee Lo Green
- Last Chance - Nicki Minaj with Natasha Bedingfield = I had to play a lot of Nicki for Philea-bird.
- Next to Me - Emeli Sandé = Just randomly discovered her.
- Cry Baby - Cee Lo = As soon as he starts the verse I diiie.
- Never Forget You - Noisettes
- Clouds Across the Moon - Rah Band = There was some weird shit in the 80s.
- All This Time - Sting = I've always loved the line: "Men go crazy in congregations, they only get better one by one."
- Goddess of Change - Joan Armatrading = Still putting out some good music!
- Slow Down - Wyclef Jean with TI = One of my fave songs for awhile now.
- More Beautiful Than Silence - K'Naan = Only feel lukewarm about his latest EP, but this is a good song.
- The Times They Are a Changin' - Peter Paul and Mary
- Somebody That I Used to Know = by Gotye, but I also like the cover by Walk Off the Earth. The latter video is pretty cool (several people standing around playing the whole song on one guitar.)
- Just a Step Away - Carly Rae Jepsen = I don't usually buy music that I regret, but this EP wasn't as good as the samples sounded. It's poppy and likable, but not endurable. As opposed to Cee Lo's album which grew on me more over time.
- Season of the Witch - Donovan
- I'm On Fire - John Mayer
- There is a Ship - Peter Paul and Mary = I love just about any cover of this (usu. The Water is Wide)
- I'm On Fire - Tori Amos = Her covers are always interesting.
- Landslide - Tori Amos
- Take On Me - Ely Bruna = It's that one hit wonder from Aha! Well done cover.
- Ready to Make Up & All I Need - Toronto = I loved bands with female band members, when I was a teen. My brother bought me a Toronto best of LP for my birthday one year.
- On the Dark Side - "Eddie and the Cruisers"
- Blind - Talking Heads = My brother and I loved this video, with the wrench and "BLIND BLIND BLIND BLIND BLIIIIND!"
- Criswell Predicts - Mae West = She sang some weird songs, yo.
That's it bebbies! See you when I'm able to get back to online land!
