Hey! The remainder of 2013! That is, US Nows 46 and 45 (45 starts with OD's Live While We're Young). And den 1983 and den 2012 and den so on. Yeah. Or coffee.
Bruno Mars : Locked Out of Heaven
PRE-CHORUS PIMPNESS. Police-ish, future legend, great voice, nauseating lyrics, it's Bruno Mars.
Justin Timberlake : Suit & Tie featuring Jay-Z
This shimmering piano sound he's been on lately really does it for me ) The song almost loses something if experienced without the fantastic black and white music video, however.
Ariana Grand : The Way featuring Mac Miller
Never heard of her but Ms Grand can certainly sing. Neat pop/R&B song.
Pitbull : Feel This Moment featuring Christina Aguilera
This will sound like 2013, later. The Take On Me sample works well here too. Ok I am not supposed to enjoy this song this much, goddammit.
Fall Out Boy : My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark
I do not get. NO GET.
Of Monsters and Men : Little Talks
Funny band, funny song, funny popularity. It's catchy though. A little insidious but it has a warm, familiar style.
Emeli Sande : Next To Me
I like it! That's all. Sounds good.
Nelly : Hey Porsche
One verse and one chorus would have been plenty! At least there's just one metaphor on one dimension.
Ludacris : Rest of My Life featuring Usher and David Guetta
I don't know who David Guetta is but it's another name I see associated with modern electronic music. And the little electronic music interludes are pretty cool.
Krewella : Alive
Krewella = Cruella? DeVille?? Brilliant like coal in a box, underground, on the dark side of the moon! Wait..
Ke$ha : C'mon
Another gem from Keh-dollar sign-shuh. Another Jim.
One Direction : Kiss You
FUCK. Just fuck. I almost like this. I would like this.. But it's still evil of course.
Mattthew Koma : One Night
His voice troubles me slightly. Sounds like he's straining hard, or has a cold. The song reminds me a bit of that late 90's hit, She's So High.
Kodaline : All I Want
I like this song. And such a sweet/sad music video.
Sky Ferreira : Everything Is Embarrassing
Seems like she would like to be famous. Maybe she already is. Either way I don't really care. Interesting song title though.
Classified : That's What I Do
I take issue with hip-hop's fundamental attitude, but as far as that goes this is ok. Comfortable, optimistic, but not too dull.
One Direction : Live While We're Young
Well, more kids music. Sounds like their songwriters know what they're doing, some talent.
Flo Rida : I Cry
I'm certain this man's stage name will never not make me cringe. Why why why why. It's a braindead pun and why would you call yourself a united state, sort of? Tramar is a much cooler name. Well the song is fun, sort of.
Ke$ha : Die Young
It's pretty obvious I've got a crush.
Ne-Yo : Let Me Love You (Until You Learn to Love Yourself)
I don't know how to say this name-word. Like Neo? Or Neigh-Oh? Who cares-oh? Why is it trendy for stage names to be textually obnoxious-oh? I honestly think it's like a skeezy shortcut to catchiness: if you have difficulty pronouncing/reading a word, you'll think about it longer and harder, so you're less likely to forget. Therefore, fuck you Ne-Yo! You too Flo Rida! )
Pitbull : Don't Stop the Party featuring TJR
You know, it's cock rock and everything, but I like Pitbull's face, ha. Makes me want to wear a suit. And be bald. And Puerto Rican. Mister World-Wide!
Calvin Harris : Sweet Nothing featuring Florence Welch
Florence Welch sounds like Lawrence Welsh who is a famous name many know but can't quite associate with a face or entity: Another way to be catchy. Her voice is interesting.
The Script : Hall Of Fame featuring Will.i.am
I associate The Script with watery pop-rock, more or less ambient radio pop for white people - something to keep mall denizens and food court diners from feeling hopeless, and this is that. But hey, paychecks or whatever.
Maroon 5 : Daylight (featuring nobody, amazingly!)
Ooh I hate this band. Shit, just shit. Oh and the video is this, except unironic and unentertaining.
Phillip Phillips : Home
Folky, sweet--not bad.
Ed Sheeran : The A Team
She ran? Shearin'? I like this. The man has a nice voice, and it reminds me of Jason Mraz some.
Taylor Swift : We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together
Well I love it. However, HOLY SHIPS WHAT AN ANNOYING VIDEO. Guitarist, your face gives me pain.
Kelly Clarkson : Catch My Breath
Well, hello again, Kelly. I get the feeling this lady has a very hardcore fanbase outthere somewhere. I'm not, not one.
Pink : Try
P!nk now! P!nk pünk. I've never quite been able to bring myself to dislike her music; continuance. And if you have not seen this song's video, quit depriving yourself, right this instant.
OneRepublic : Feel Again
Apparently this was inspired by gospel--an attempt to write a gospel-inflected song. It's not bad at all, just not my taste.
Imagine Dragons : It's Time
I recognize this, actually. This mandolin riff, catchy and unique -- only so slightly insidious. Stupid but catchy chorus. Sounds like a fast food jingle.
Florida George Line : Cruise
I listened to this once, and suffered. Never again will I volunteer. Though I like their band name. Kansas, Flo Rida.
Born Cages : Don't Look Back
This pre-chorus chord moves are neat--kind of a build-up. I guess that's the idea, but it works well here and really catches the ear, my dear. Oh hello, there appear to be a classic guitar solo!
Black Veil Brides : In The End
Well, that's hard rock music, well-planned and well-executed; I am not interested.
Walk the Moon : Anna Sun
I'm looking forward to seeing exactly when this trend of stylized video information text began, as we go back in time! This is a very hip tune! Not a compliment!
Ok that's 2013. Now for 1983! Truck yeah! Stay tabbed.
Bruno Mars : Locked Out of Heaven
