Coldplay – Christmas Lights

I love Christmas music. So much, I’m glad they play it earlier and earlier every year. It does bother me that a lot of pop artists try to get in the Christmas action by releasing Christmas albums — most of which are half-hearted attempts to make a quick buck.

So I was skeptical of when I heard Coldplay released one. I love the band so much I had to listen to it though. And it didn’t disappoint, in fact, it kind of doesn’t even sound like your typical Christmas song. It sounds more like a bonus song from one of their albums. It’s a great song that I can listen to even out of Christmas season. High Five!

Monarchy – Maybe I’m Crazy

Never heard of this group. It sounds pretty cool, but it does sound melodically similarly to the interlude in Newsboys – “In Christ Alone”. High Five!

Update:
It was killing me becuase this song sounded the same as another song. And how could I forget it sounded like the famous Coldplay song, “Clocks”.

Summer Mixtape

So, the 2 readers or so of this blog is probably wondering “Why was there no post yesterday??”. Yea I dropped the ball, but yesterday was blazing hot and I couldn’t miss the opportunity to take advantage of it.

As soon as work ended, I was in my car with the windows rolled down and the sunroof rolled back. I turned my music loud and suddenly some songs were hitting the right spots. They had that perfect sound for the summer heat. I could have literally driven for hours along the coast and not care about a single thing. Who could ask for a better summer day? So, now I present to you some of the songs that are great to pump in your car with the summer humid wind flowing around.

When this song came up, I just wanted to lay off the gas pedal and enjoy the scenery that was blasting by me.

How can you not like the genius use of percussion in this song? It also helps that this song is crazy fun to sing along to.

You know I had to include some trance in here. By far, one of my top ten trance songs for 2010 — and has a great summer vibe to it.

Duderstadt – Stranded in NYC

Another recent trance song that hit the summer chords. Love it.

High Five to all these great musicians for make my summer beach run so nice!
