Keeping It Fresh

Today's song is a remix of a song by Morgan Page, featuring Tegan and Sara. I love the energy of this song and the fact that you can actually dance to this song. Tegan and Sara is a phenomenal duo and both sisters are not only good singers, but they are great musicians. They create their own music and their own songs and it is some good stuff! They have this energy and charisma to them which is great. Now Morgan Page is a well seasoned DJ who has been at this for a long time. You can hear the skill with which he is able to work and collaborate with artists like these two. He is an expert at remixing as well, so when it comes to doing a song like this, he is a good choice.  Morgan Page is really good, and I recommend listening to more of his music. Today's instrumental song is by deadmau5. Let's face it, he is incredible! I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!

For today's song, I chose a very interesting sound. Breathe Carolina's sound is like electronic crunk met rock and collaborated. I love this song because the beat is bumping and makes feel like I can do fun, crazy, and a some reckless things. I love working out to this song also-it keeps me going even when I am feeling sore. This song takes on a heavier electronic sound than normal and the rock takes a bit of a backseat. But the cool thing is that there are still enough elements like the beat and melody that make it sound like it could belong to a rock song. Breathe Carolina took a really cool direction with this newer style and  I for one am a fan.Today's instrumental song is some electronica/house music. I heard this song a few days ago and I thought this would be perfect to put on. Pryda made a really catchy and exciting song! I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!

Today I have music for you from the movie Wish I Was Here. I actually just watched this movie and can tell you that it is quite a good movie. That is one of the things I love about indie films-they have so much value and substance and present it to you in a way that is unlike anything you could see. Yet, these movies touch the heart and soul in a way that no other film could. These movies make you think and reflect and really feel. This movie was phenomenal and I loved the theme of the film. The soundtrack for this movie is also amazing. There is something special about music used in indie films because they are made especially to capture a certain emotion or feeling or moment. For me, this song captures the moment of complete surrender to the world around you. This song is something that is pensive but freeing at the same time. Cat Powers and Coldplay came together to make this song and it is one of the most beautiful songs I have heard from any movie. I have to say that all the credi...

Today I have music for you by the Gorillaz. This song is a lesser known song by them and this band in general is just a lesser known band here in America. It is kind of funny because if I ever see a person wearing a Gorillaz shirt I go up to them and tell them that I love Gorillaz too because it is kind of rare to see fans! There are so many things to love about this band. Gorillaz has this great quirkiness to them that a lot of people would find weird and maybe to the extreme as downright abnormal. But I love that quirkiness because you will never see a band that looks and sounds like these guys. Gorillaz is so uniquely their own that if anyone even wanted to try and copy them, it would be pretty much impossible. Gorillaz has a style unlike any other because a lot of times there is no method to their madness! Every album explores the weirdest pockets of rock and rap and psychedelic music. You cannot put these guys into a single genre because they span so many. This song in particular ...

Today I have music for you by some really great artists. This first song is a collaboration done by Alicia Keys and Drake. I only recently heard this song, but I was completely blown away by it. The first time I heard the song, I had to stop and drink in the song and was left pretty much awestruck. Everything about this song is so beautiful and well put together. The two sound really great together because Alicia Keys is able to bring a softer, gentler sound to the song and Drake provides a calming rap verse and soothing harmonizing background vocals. This is one of my favorite collaborations I have heard. This song is so smooth and dark and sensual. This is one of those songs that makes you feel so many different things at once. The way the music works in this song, I can't help but feel so calm but there is an air of intensity. That adds to this very sensual and lustful sound, and even if you take the lyrics out, you still get that tender but almost steamy sound. I think that act...

Today I have music for you by a band that will forever be known for this iconic song. The Rembrandts are known for their work on the Friends soundtrack. They are actually the ones who are in charge of performing and writing the theme song. I mean honestly, this theme song is one of the most well known soundtracks of all time. This song has been heard and played all over the place, especially during the height of Friends being aired. This song is so energetic and fun and has a great message at the same time. This song has everything to suit a television show like Friends. This song is all about the wonderful nature of having friends who are like parts of your own identity. The Rembrandts did a really good job with the way the instrumental portions sound. There is this light bounciness to the way the song sounds, but it is not too happy go lucky and carefree. It has this warmth and home/cozy feeling to it. Let's be honest, this is one of the greatest themes songs ever! Today's in...

Today I have music for you by Mr Probz. The original version of this song is slower and more acoustic, but honestly I prefer the remixed version. Robin Schulz did an incredible job with this remix. It is uptempo and upbeat but still has this chill sound to it. This song just has that super laid back electronic feel to it and I really like that. This is a really good and somewhat bubbly song. It is not exactly happy, but it does have a nice energy to it. Mr Probz has a really sexy and gritty voice. Normally, grit sounds really weird or bad with R&B, but in this case Mr Probz really works it and makes the vocals sound incredible. The work between Mr Probz and Robin Schulz on this song is awesome because they independently were able to mash together and create this song. A lot of times, remixes don't get as popular as the original, but I honestly think that this remixed version is more popular than the original. I guess it all kind of depends on the mood you are in. The one thing ...
