#1 Rock: Fall Out Boy
– My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark (Light Em Up)
God I love this fucking song. Fall Out Boy may not be my favorite band ever, though if I really thought about it they’d probably be in the running; damn they’re good. Fall Out Boy is one of those rare bands that’s been around for a while, and still doesn’t suck. That doesn’t happen very often. Generally when a group has been around for a while they try something different and tend to lose their audience. Based on the 22 million views on this video, I think FOB still has plenty of an audience. My Song know is off their new album, and if you haven’t heard both this and Phoenix….. go do that. Now. I’m serious. Don’t continue reading this post go listen to these fucking songs.
On a side note, this video had one of my favorite comments ever. Something along the lines of, “Why is 2 chainz wearing only one chain?”
#2 Pop: P!nk – Just Give Me A Reason ft. Nate Ruess
I’ve heard some things from P!nk before and she’s generally at least alright, and I have genuinely enjoyed a couple of her songs. One I don’t recall the name of and Blow Me (One Last Kiss). This song….. isn’t like those songs. The songs I’ve heard from pink that I like are her aggressive songs; I mean, one of them is literally called Blow Me. This song, it’s not aggressive. It’s a love song…. Or well a song about really wanting to love. It’s not terrible, and I do really like Nate Ruess’ voice (Btw for those of you who don’t know Nate Ruess is the singer from fun.). Like I said, not terrible, just not really my cup of tea.
#3 Rap and Hip-Hop: 2 Chainz, Wiz Khalifa – We Own It (Fast and Furious)
I find this song in the same vein as most of the very select group of this genre I can enjoy. I only like the chorus. There are a few Rap/Hip-Hop songs I like the entirety of, but this isn’t one of them. I don’t have anything more to say about the song but I’d like to make a short comment about the movies.
I’ve seen all 6 of these movies and I have no qualms about saying this; I like them. I said it come get me. Or, stop and take a second to think before you say there stupid and shallow and the plot sucks. Fucking Duh. Complaining that these movies aren’t thoughtful would be like watching porn and then being upset that it’s that whole time it’s just people fucking. It’s not meant to be thoughtful. Fast cars, pretty women, guns, and Vin Diesel; that’s the summary of every F&F movie. Don’t wanna see those things? Don’t fucking watch F&F.
#4 Electronic: Swedish House Mafia – Don’t You Worry Child ft. John Martin
I'd heard of SHM before, and may have even heard some of their work while trying to listen to knife party but I'm not particularly well versed in their stuff. Electronic music is actually one of my favorite genres and often when I want some nice chill music I'll look up hour long mixes people make and YouTube and let those play. I enjoyed this song quite a bit, though as is the case with 99.999% of live music, it would have been better with a studio version in my opinion.
#5 Top Tracks: Avicii – Wake Me Up
So, Avicii is not the type of music for me. I don’t really have anything all that negative to say about it. I don’t find it bad in any meaningful way. I would certainly take this over a lot of other things but I don’t really find anything all that positive to say about it either. So yeah, totally okay, not at all remarkable.
One the whole, not a great batch this time. Though not really all that bad either. Mostly I just found myself thinking I’d rather be talking about songs that YouTube would recommend after I listened to these. Like Burn from Ellie Goulding. That chick is talented as fuck and if you don’t know about her go fix that. But no those songs aren’t on the front page of YouTube’s music so it breaks the rule I set for myself about this series. Eh oh well I guess. At least I got Fall Out Boy.
