Playlist Two

Here it is! Playlist Two!

(1) Airplanes (B.o.B. Feat. Hayley Williams of Paramore) - Hey. It's on a lot on the radio! And very catchy. I found myself singing along to it whenever it came on the radio so I got it. I must say I'm enjyoing it!

(2) SexyBack (Justin Timberlake Feat. Timbaland) - I got tired of Bad Romance as an alarm clock and heard this on the radio the other day. And I was like...Oh yeah! That was a good song! It is good to jam along to in the morning. Just my two cents!

(3) Secrets (OneRepublic) - Kind of embodies my feelings about life sometimes, feeling in a rut and wanting to just throw it all out the window and get a fresh start.

(4) Empty Room (Zack Hemsey) - I discovered this little gem when I was looking for the music used in one of the trailers for Inception (which I finally saw! It is absolutely brilliant btw...). Turns out it was composed by Zack Hemsey and I poked around his website and found this really fantastic piece. I think a lot of his stuff is worth checking out.

(5) Mind Heist (Zack Hemsey) - The piece of music used in the Inception trailer I was looking for. Again, absolutely brilliant. But then again, I love film-like music...

(6) Violet Hill (Coldplay) - Recently discovered this while going through my music library. The guitar solo in the middle is simple but amazing. It sounds so so good.

(7) The Child Moves Away (George Purves) - George Purves should have a record. He's a fantastic singer-songwriter I met my freshman year at college. He was there on a Study Abroad program from somewhere in the UK, lived in the floor above me in my dorm, and I met him mostly though his close friendship with my very good friend J (from Pineapple Tacos). I remembered George the other day and looked through his Myspace page and found both this song and my #8 on the playlist. Worth checking out.

(8) Poughkeepsie Bound (George Purves) - See above. Somehow reminds me of being on the train going upstate every semester to go back to college. A bit of a bittersweet memory for me since I sadly won't be doing that journey regularly anymore

(9) Call Me (Elle Lefant) - Another great piece from Elle Lefant.

(10) The Robbery (The Anti-Job) - Haha. Another band I met at college. I met their lead singer Amanda and their drummer Katie at a party two weeks before I graduated. I thought they were both pretty cool people to concluded that their music would be pretty cool too. I was right! They're pretty good! Not my usual fare, but they have an interesting and different sound. I also like their song Love Strange too. You can check them out on Myspace and I think they have a few of their songs on iTunes as well.

Bonus Track:

Rebellion (Lies) by The Arcade Fire.
Love it!
