This pretty much sums it up...

So, I bought some new headphones this weekend and what better way to break them in than to buy some new tunes?? Here are some of the best buys...

"For The First Time" by The Script
-Kind of a romantic song because we all want to be loved and all that sappy stuff haha

"Get Outta My Way" by Kylie Minogue (new favorite)
-This is how I feel most of the time...usually walking down the hallways at school.

"I'm In Here" by Sia
-This artist has some pretty dark songs but they really mean something unlike most main stream stuff. Also check out "Breathe Me," an old favorite of mine.

"Paris" by Grace Potter and The Nocturnals
-This shows my rebelious side...haha yea right, but it is fun to rock out to =]

Well, this is what I will have on replay all week hope you can enjoy it too!
Happy Listening =]

"You take the BREATH right out of me"

I love so many different types of music so it's hard to choose just one band as my favorite, but I've decided to make that choice right now. After hours of deep thought, or procrastination, I have come to a conclusion. Their lyrics have meaning and their melodies are enduring in my mind; they are Breaking Benjamin. Even more inspirational than their music is their story. Long story short two members of a band on its way to success decided to "break" away from the pack and put their trust in singer/songwriter Ben Burnley. In my opinion this is the best decision they could have ever made because the best part of their music is the lyrics. Their newest album, "Dear Agony," is the best one yet and there isn't a song I don't love. Although overall this is my favorite album my favorite song is "Breath" on the album titled "Phobia" and it truly does take the breath right out of me.

Daily Vitamin

I find myself not getting tired of songs but wanting a new sound or anything to reawaken my interest. Recently, while searching through iTunes, I came across The Vitamin String Quartet. Being a "band kid" you wouldn't think I would be into the whole orchestra thing, but this group blew my mind! So here's how it works, take a popular group like Coldplay and replace the vocals, keyboards, and guitars with classical string instruments and there you have it! Classical music isn't for everyone, but this group is classic meets modern. The VSQ allows you to fall in love with your favorite song all over again. The quartet not only puts their own spin on the classics but they also have a few original compositions that are just as good. If your are just starting out I would recommend Bittersweet Symphony, Clocks, and Undertow; if you are not a stranger then you are one of the lucky ones who has discovered the awesomeness that is the VSQ.
