Typically in the past, I've just listened to Paramore songs on repeat while running, but that was starting to get a little old. So I decided to make a 45 minute upbeat type mix good for the elliptical/treadmill. I might keep this up, and might not (same goes with the gym habit), but my goal is to make one for each month. ENJOY!<br /><div><br /><div><img style="width: 320px; height: 316px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VG0Vl-bLncw/TDvPs82TrKI/AAAAAAAAAQU/8Ep5TWVJK3A/s320/80s_workout_cat.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5493212541663554722" border="0" /></div><div><br /><br /><br /><br /><table style="border-collapse: collapse;" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="450"><col span="2" width="400"><tbody> <tr height="13"> <td style="text-align: left;" height="13">BoB Feat.

She's cute, but her character was a total bitch!). The soundtrack was definitely the highlight of the movie for me. I bet Nick Drake is glad this guy could carry the torch for him.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">The Avett Brothers - January Wedding</span><br /><br />I could have picked any song from their album but this one was the first one I latched onto. Their Halloween show at the Ryman was probably the best show I saw all year.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Brooke Waggoner - Burdon of Our Courage</span><br /><br />I absolutely ADORED <span style="font-style:italic;">Heal for the Honey</span> and <span style="font-style:italic;">Fresh Pair of Eyes</span>, and so I was sad when this one didn't immediately grab me. Maybe my expectations were too high. Still a good album, but can't compare to the other two in my opinion.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Catherine Feeny - He's Like You Only Better</span><br /><br />I knew I would love this song, just from the title! Right now, Feeny's new album is just available on her website, but here's hoping it makes its way to iTunes and record stores soon.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Dave Rawlings Machine - Ruby<br /></span><br />Gillian who? Old Crow who?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros - Home</span><br /><br />I resist anything that appears to be "hipster music" so I didn't hear this one until late in the year. Glad I gave it a chance!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Emmy The Great - MIA</span><br /><br />She is just precious and this song is just precious.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Fanfarlo - Harold T. Wilkins or How To Wait For A Very Long Time</span><br /><br />Love, love everything about this band!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">fun. - All the Pretty Girls</span><br /><br />I was such a fanatic about The Format that I had a hard time getting into this new sound at first. It didn't help that I saw the band open for Manchester Orchestra on what appeared to be their VERY FIRST SHOW EVER... Ok, so it wasn't, but they were clearly unprepared. Or maybe the sound guy just sucked. I don't know. But now you can't tear me away from this album. It produces SHEER HAPPINESS to all who choose to listen to it. And Nate Ruess could front a Neil Diamond cover band and I'd still love him.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Gossip - Heavy Cross</span><br /><br />This is the first year I really listed to the Gossip. What took me so long?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Grizzly Bear - Two Weeks</span><br /><br />Only good song by an otherwise way-too-hipster band.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Indigo Girls - Love Of Our Lives<br />Ingrid Michaelson - Mayb</span>e<br /><br />These two songs appeal to the repressed folkie in me. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">J. Tillman - Year In The Kingdom</span><br /><br />Lovely quiet album from Fleet Foxes guy.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Jack Peñate - Be The One</span><br /><br />Um, he's really cute. And his songs are catchy.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Jay Z Featuring Alicia Keys - Empire State Of Mind</span><br /><br />My favorite pop song of the year.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Julian Velard - Love Again For The First Time</span><br /><br />We need a Billy Joel for 2010... He just might be it.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Just Jack - Embers<br />Karima Francis - Chasing The Morning Light</span><br /><br />Why certain British acts never make it over here is beyond me. Just Jack is fun & catchy yet somehow avoids being cheesy. And Karima Francis' voice makes my heart break into a million peices.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Kelly Clarkson - I Do Not Hook Up</span><br /><br />I love that K-Clark made a comeback this year! And I love that she is not a girl that "hooks up." <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Kings Of Convenience - Boat Behind<br />Kings of Leon - Use Somebody</span><br /><br />Two different "kings" here... Kings of Leon were kings of the airwaves of every single Top 40 and AAA station this year, to the point where I should be really sick of this song but somehow I'm not. And Kings of Convenience are kings of low key quiet Scandinavian pop. And I love them both.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">La Roux - Bulletproof</span><br /><br />Listened to the BBC a lot last year... It's starting to show I think.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Lady Antebellum - Need You Now</span><br /><br />After hearing this song on about a million different award shows, I gave in.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Laura Marling - Goodbye England (Covered In Snow)</span><br /><br />Laura gave us the most perfect Christmas single last year, and I can hardly wait for her new album in 2010! She is really as good as everyone says. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Leona Lewis - Happy<br />Lily Allen - Who'd Have Known</span><br /><br />Um, BBC Radio One is the culprit again.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">The Low Anthem - Ticket Taker</span><br /><br />I don't usually pay much attention to lyrics but this one really grabbed me. <br /><span style="font-style:italic;">I am a ticket taker, many tickets have I torn<br />And I will be your ark, we will float above the storm</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Matt & Kim - Daylight</span><br /><br />Avoidable thanks to the Bacardi commercial.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Mayer Hawthorne - Just Ain't Gonna Work Out</span><br /><br />It seems every year there is another neo-soul guy singer. It pretty much always works on me.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Metric - Sick Muse</span><br /><br />I don't have much to say about Metric. I just know that I always like their albums. <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Mumford & Sons - Winter Winds</span><br /><br />My favorite new band of the year and probably my favorite album of the year -- Definitely my most listened to album of the year. SO FRICKIN' GOOD. Do yourself a favor and listen to them if you have not yet.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Noah and the Whale - Love of an Orchestra</span><br /><br />Their album was an utter disappointment, but this song was the one ray of light on an otherwise TOTAL SAD-SACK of a CD.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Noisettes - Wild Young Hearts</span><br /><br />I somehow missed their first album but made up for it quickly by falling head over heels on first listen to the new one.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Nouvelle Vague - Road to Nowhere</span><br /><br />Best "cover" band ever.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Paramore - Brick By Boring Brick</span><br /><br />I will turn 30 in May and I realize that makes me at least ten years too old to like Paramore. But I don't care. They have put out three catchy-as-hell albums (except for that one screamo song at the end of the first album), and I am admitting it to the world: I LOVE ME SOME <strike>PARAMORE</strike> HAYLEY WILLIAMS. I realize there are other band members but she is definitely the Gwen Stefani to their No Doubt, meaning you couldn't name another member if your life depended on it. As much as Hayley tries to deny it... <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Passion Pit - Moth's Wings</span><br /><br />I've heard this band sucks live, but their album is the best-dance-music-for-people-who-don't-like-dance-music that I've ever heard.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Pete Yorn - Don't Wanna Cry</span><br /><br />Thank you, Pete Yorn, for making a good album this year.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Regina Spektor - Blue Lip</span>s<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Far</span> isn't as good as <span style="font-style:italic;">Begin to Hope</span>, but that one was hard to beat.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Rosanne Cash - Long Black Veil (Feat. Jeff Tweedy)</span><br /><br />An awesome album from start to finish. Thanks to Johnny Cash for helping make "The List".<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Sam Means - Yeah Yeah</span><br /><br />I can't forget the "other guy" in The Format. It might be hopeless but I am still rooting for them to get back together.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Samantha Crain & The Midnight Shivers - Rising Sun</span><br /><br />I heart female singer/songwriters, especially when they can be described as "Björk's heartland cousin".<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Sliimy - Wake Up</span><br /><br />I heart gay French pop.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Slow Club - Dance 'Til The Morning Light</span><br /><br />I heart twee Britpop.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Sondre Lerche - I Cannot Let You Go</span><br /><br />I heart really cute boys from Norway that make jazzy pop.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">The Swell Season - In These Arms</span><br /><br />Fifty songs is a lot. And while I definitely would not rather watch the Superbowl, I'm starting to tire of writing this list... Can you tell? Anyway. Swell Season is another act that I can thank for always making my heart break.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Taylor Swift - You Belong With Me</span><br /><br />Yeah, she sucks as a singer. And she is annoying as hell on award shows, whether she's singing out of key or accepting each award like she didn't even know she was nominated. But if I was 13 years old, I know for sure I would be one of those girls screaming at a Taylor Swift concert, wearing a Taylor Swift t-shirt and singing every single word to every Taylor Swift song, because what she has is the ability to connect with pretty much every 13 year old girl in the world (I bet even little goth 13 year olds listen to her secretly). So, I have to respect her for that, and I also like to sing along to her songs REALLY loudly when they come on the radio.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Tegan & Sara - Hell</span><br /><br />They can do no wrong in my book, even though the intro to one of their songs is a blatant rip off of that MGMT song, which was probably ripped off someone else anyway.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Thao with the Get Down Stay Down - Cool Yourself<br />Zee Avi - Bitter Heart</span><br /><br />Two more fabulous female singer/songwriters. That's about all I can say, since I used all of my remaining energy defending Taylor Swift.<br /><br />xoxo y'all.

It took my husband five years to convince me we needed one, and even then I wasn't fully sold on the commitment. But now, on the second birthday of our dog Carnaby, I sit here making a MIX for MY DOG. Yeah. I have become the obsessive dog person. My friends talk about their kids, and I just share stories about my dog. He's my baby. Anyway, here are some songs (well, the first one isn't really a song...) about dogs. I would like to think these are the best songs you'll find about your four-legged friend.

After searching for a few weeks, it looks like we finally have a full-length version of the Petra Haden's cover of "Let Your Love Flow" from the Prius commercials (original by the Bellamy Brothers, who haven't had this much hoopla since they looked like <a href="http://www.recordsale.org/cdpix/t/the_bellamy_brothers-best.jpg">this</a>). And better yet, Toyota is offering it as a free download on their <a href="http://www.myspace.com/toyotamusic">myspace</a> site. The commercial itself is worth posting. From a press release issued by Toyota's ad agency:<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">They employ a cinematic technique to depict the harmony between man, nature and machine.

Apparently, he received some press a while back for his cover of "Womanizer" but I must have missed it. I don't really know how to describe Sliimy. The first word that comes to mind is "FAB-ulous". <br /><br /><br />Sliimy - <a href="http://www.box.net/shared/static/gk6qj8oiol.mp3">Wake Up</a> (The <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pccguTaYDLQ">video</a> is equally amazing)<br />Sliimy - <a href="http://www.box.net/shared/static/asadiq208q.mp3">Womanizer</a> (Britney Spears cover)<br /><br />RIYL: Alphabeat, Kate Nash, Phoenix, MikaMistyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04112968154234852656noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4859668355075830050.post-17854027476729602302009-04-13T17:33:00.006-06:002009-04-13T19:43:46.665-06:00Top Ten Prince Covers.<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VG0Vl-bLncw/SePSLJUGCeI/AAAAAAAAAOY/vqvLU419ES0/s1600-h/prince05.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 154px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VG0Vl-bLncw/SePSLJUGCeI/AAAAAAAAAOY/vqvLU419ES0/s200/prince05.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324330273402653154" /></a><br />Nothing beats the real thing but these come pretty darn close.

But last week was one of the better ones I think (last night, however, was enough to make me quit watching this season entirely). I was terrified when they said Adam would sing "Tracks of my Tears". It is one of my favorite songs of all time, and the thought of him singing it was definitely cringe-worthy. To my surprise, I actually liked his version. Doesn't match the original or some of the more popular cover versions, but still not half bad.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VG0Vl-bLncw/SdN8nIHTK4I/AAAAAAAAAOQ/p8q3jm9nFTE/s1600-h/tracks+of+my+tears.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 199px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_VG0Vl-bLncw/SdN8nIHTK4I/AAAAAAAAAOQ/p8q3jm9nFTE/s200/tracks+of+my+tears.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319732596489530242" /></a><br /><br />The Miracles - <a href="http://www.box.net/shared/static/0vjgiy6vxi.mp3">Tracks of my Tears</a><br />Patty Griffin & Billy Mann (live) - <a href="http://www.box.net/shared/static/kx9ea4ec9l.mp3">Tracks of my Tears</a>Mistyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04112968154234852656noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4859668355075830050.post-69264295972943294442009-03-22T12:28:00.003-06:002009-03-22T12:39:40.254-06:00Songs in Commercials, Tenth InstallmentIs it just me, or are these marketing folks just getting savvier lately? Maybe they are realizing that they can seem more hip AND save money on licensing fees at the same time, by using these songs by newer artists? Either way, I am constantly hearing more songs that catch my ear during commercial breaks. <br /><br />Katie Herzig - <a href="http://www.box.net/shared/static/qvrlrype1q.mp3">Two Hearts Are Better Than One</a> (used in <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onGIUQjmsu8">Frito-Lay commercial</a>)<br />The Mostar Diving Club - <a href="http://www.box.net/shared/static/1d103sj8n9.mp3">The Honey Tree</a> (used in <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gloDlx-hnrw">Honda Insight commercial</a>)<br />Dan Deacon - <a href="http://www.box.net/shared/static/fjl9jyps1m.mp3">Pink Batman</a> (used in <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9CAdCdU-Ng">Crayola commercial</a>)<br />Jupiter One - <a href="http://www.box.net/shared/static/h1fesy60k0.mp3">Countdown</a> (used in <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qisFlBleCFs">Payless Shoe Source commercial</a>)<br />Leon Jean-Marie - <a href="http://www.box.net/shared/static/e1ajqesi78.mp3">East End Blues</a> (used in <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DvEXO9puJw">Frito-Lay commercial</a>)Mistyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04112968154234852656noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4859668355075830050.post-36809874392785879932009-03-20T07:13:00.002-06:002009-03-20T10:22:26.073-06:00American Idol - Grand Ole Opry NightI wasn't too impressed with anyone this week but kind of loved hearing one of my favorite songs -- "Wild Angels" -- sound so radically different. Not to mention, you KNOW Scott had to work really hard on the arrangement. All of the rest of the contestants are blatantly stealing the arrangement from somewhere else. Had high hopes for Megan with "Walkin' After Midnight" but it was just "eh" (although she did have the flu... So I'll make an allowance there.) Too bad Alexis got sent home on this song... I didn't think she was that bad! I thought it would be Sarver for sure, but sadly it was not.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VG0Vl-bLncw/ScPAzfXlXqI/AAAAAAAAAOI/McDXBSBNo0A/s1600-h/jolene.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_VG0Vl-bLncw/ScPAzfXlXqI/AAAAAAAAAOI/McDXBSBNo0A/s200/jolene.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315303976053595810" /></a><br /><br />Dolly Parton - <a href="http://www.box.net/shared/static/mlxh5kf88f.mp3">Jolene</a><br />Mindy Smith - <a href="http://www.box.net/shared/static/b9lz07ymf7.mp3">Jolene</a>Mistyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04112968154234852656noreply@blogger.com0
