You better run, better run

Foster The People - Pumped Up Kicks

Song to chill to. Check out the lyrics though. Pretty interesting once you get it.

Love it when you let go.

Bumpy Ride - Acoustic Version (just Irwin)

Gosh I love this song! It's been on repeat since I first heard it! Amazing acoustic version by the lead singer above, seriously just listen!

Promises, swear them to the sky.

The Naked and Famous - Young Blood

I get this euphoric feeling everytime I listen to this.
Yee-ah, yeeah yeeah yeeah.

You'll love it when you let go.

The Hoosiers - Bumpy Ride

I heard this on the radio and googled 'Baby we can work it out'. Wrong move, heh. I only got searches related to Paul McCartney's song which had a similar name.

The Hoosiers won the X-Factor last year.

JUST KIDDING.
Good music, plus a wicked sense of humor to boot. Awesome.
End of story.

Don't check me out.

The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart - "Young Adult Friction"

Music for your mid-week hurrah. Sweet band name, by the way. 

Control yourself; Take only what you need from it.

Weezer - Kids/Poker Face

Rivers can just about sing anything, as proven above. His vocals are perfect for those two songs, unexpectedly. From the Youtube comments, it seems that MGMT doesn't even play their hit live, they have a backing track which they sing over. Anyway, thought this cover was worth posting on the blog. Enjoy!

How long am I supposed to wait?

Ra Ra Riot - Can You Tell

Just one of those songs that'll make you go 'That's So Evonne'. Haha.

They trying to take all of your dreams; But you can't allow it.

Janelle Monae - Tightrope


The official video didn't have an embed link but this live performance showcases her just as well. Love her style and the way she moves. Very James Brown.
Here's the official remix video.

You've got the moment, tell me what's the answer.

New Young Pony Club - Chaos

Smooth mellow rock vibe. With a hot drummer (whom attracts most of their guy fans I bet, judging from the tons of youtube comments heh)  I absolutely love the bass on the song though. I shall learn bass one day. The most underrated sound in a rock band. But you just can't have a good song without it.

Here's another track.

New Young Pony Club - The Get Go

This five-piece rock band from London, England has been around since 2004, with two albums to date. The name just gets to you doesn't it? Kinky and fun. :P

Presenting Sunday Girl.
One of the best covers of Tik Tok I found so far. Doesn't even sound like a crazy party song anymore. Heh.

I picked you out, I shook you up, and turned you around.

Atomic Tom - Don't You Want Me

I absolutely loved the video. It's for the movie Take Me Home Tonight starring you guessed it, Topher Grace (love him) aka Eric Foreman and Anna Faris. I know Glee did a cover of it in its most recent episode, which was great, loved the duet between Rachel and Blaine. They should sing together more, Raine owns Finchel. Hands down. Won't spoil the story for you guys though. One of the best episodes of the season, up there with the Valentine's Day episode. Okay, I should stop gleeking out. Anyways I happened to find this cover of the song which is pretty good too. Features the actors from the movie itself!


Wanna watch the original version by Human League? Here you go.

Now I gotta get myself one of them sweatshirts with the rainbow, thunderstorm, and sparkle blue!

I just count these ceiling tiles falling through my floor.

The Airborne Toxic Event - Happiness is Overrated

I love this song so much it's been on replay since I first downloaded it. Ha.
The lead singer sounds a lot like Arctic Monkey's Alex Turner. And some Black Keys thrown in there too. I like how they turned a real angsty song into something so light; and kinda nice to dance around in your pyjamas to. Heh.



Diggin' the Asian guitarist. Asian invasion!
