Summer Music.

I love music. My mom, who has a beautiful voice, has always sang to us, and played the piano for us.  My favorite thing about going to church is listening to the voices sing the beautiful old hymns.  I generally like all genre's of music, and don't preference one genre over another, although when it comes to popular music, I love hearing something new and fresh.

I don't know about you, but my music selection has seriously been lacking as of late.  Seriously.  I mostly listen to the radio, and it seems like they've been playing the same music since February.  What gives?  Earlier this summer I went so far as to download a copy of California Gurls by Katy Perry, with IMMEDIATE buyers remorse because as soon as I paid my 99 cents for the song it was completely overplayed by the radio and now I hate it.  I switch the channel when I hear it come on.  Puke.  Don't get me started on her latest single...something about "going all the way tonight".  Are you kidding me?  And to think her target audience is teenage girls.  Nice role model.

I have recently, as of yesterday, gotten a excited about Maroon 5's new song, "Misery", that was released in June.  It has a really catchy tune...and I have yet to really listen to what the song is about but I like guy's voice.  I am also sorta excited about One Republic's latest album, although I see it was actually released way back in November of 2009 - where the H have I been?  And one of their songs, I realize has been played a lot, but just recently I heard "Secrets", and I love it.  How long will I love it?  Pff...good question.

Another song that I'm currently groovin is Keane's "Stop for a Minute"...shockingly enough they actually play this one on KBCO here in Boulder.  It doesn't really seem like KBCO's genre...beings that they can't get ENOUGH of Cake and Sting...ugh.  C'mon guys, Short Skirt/Long Jacket needs to be retired already.
