So I am a huge fan of top 5 lists so I thought I would share my top 5 plays for this week. Why not a top 10? I am the kinda person who loves to have my music on shuffle. So this is a pretty diverse list. There is some rap, alt, rock, pop but no country ha ha sorry it is a rarity if I play any of that. So here is my top 5
1. Young Forever by Jay-Z (I do not know exactly what it is about this song maybe the combo of rap and 80 music. Maybe its just the fact that Jay-Z is a great rapper but either way I cant seem to stop playing this song anytime I turn on some tunes.)
2. All My Friends by LCD Soundsystem (To me this song is a journey. At over seven minutes you get just that. The build up that happens right from the start is just a taste of things to come. By the time the lyrics kick in you are hooked. It gives me the feeling of a song I want to hear when I am on my way home from the bars at four in the morning. I know that LCD Soundsystem are from NYC and you can feel it in this song. It makes me want to move there and just try to find out what secrets the city has entrusted them with.)
3. If I Fail by Cartel (I just like Cartel. Their songs tend to be kinda on the epic side or at least they try for that I think and more often the not they succeed. I am a sucker for epicness. This track off their first album is no different. It is one of those tracks that makes you think about your own relationships. I think when a song can make the leap from just a song to one that makes you think about your own life it really hits the mark.)
4. Drop The World by Lil Wayne feat. Eminem (As the lines between musical genres gets more and more blurred I find myself going off into different directions and finding a lot of things out there that I like. This track by Lil Wayne had a strong bass line but also has some synth and guitar. Add in the fact that Lil Wayne and Eminem sound like they are slamming you with their lyrics and you have one tough edgy yet very very catchy track.
5. Epic Last Song by Does It Offend You, Yeah? (The first time I ever heard this track I was blown away. I had been listening my way through the album and when I arrived at the last track I was expecting another hip electronic rock alt song. But what I discovered was probably the most aptly named track I have ever come across. Everything about this song draws me in. The vocals, drums and guitar are all spectacular. I can not get enough of the guitar mini solo that comes at around 2:40 in.
Well that is my top 5 songs for this week. I hope it has given you some look into how I think about music. I will be posting more later this week about where to find free tunes and any other thoughts I have. So enjoy if you decide to give them a spin.
