Music Obsessions [July 2016]

Its July! This past month didn’t have all that much music to work with and honestly, these songs were constantly on repeat because there was nothing else that peaked my interest and these are fantastic in quality and creativity! 🙂

Let’s go!

Lose Control – Hedley

If you asked me 2004 when Jacob Hoggard was in Canadian Idol, I’d say that he was good but not something I’d listen to everyday but in the last few years, Hedley has truly captured my heart. From Crazy For You to Heaven in my Headlights to Hello and now Lose Control, I’m just in love. Its fun and energetic! There’s some charm and charisma going on there that I just can’t resist!

Candyman (with 50,000 M&Ms) – KHS & Citizen Shade (Cover)

This is kind of like a cover video for the 75th Anniversary for M&M’s. The original was by Zedd and Aloe Blacc. While I think that one is fun and upbeat, this one is just so unique. Plus, I already mentioned it before but I love Citizen Shade. The singer’s voice is so awesome!

Delirious Army (Animated Music Video) – The Spaceman Chaos

Okay…call me a nerd or geek or whatever. I admit it! I mean, c’mon, I’m not only a blogger but also a gamer now that I’m a half of Game Warp.

A few years ago, I started watching gaming videos on YouTube. Its been a sort of entertainment that keeps me going. There are my favorites and one of the guys with the best laughs is H2O Delirious. No one knows what he looks like and it doesn’t even matter because I don’t think his laugh as ever not made my day. Especially when he pairs up with his friend Cartoonz or like recently, they did a video of Dead by Daylight with Ohmwrecker and Bryce Games and that was like the epitome of fun because its like all the guys with the best laughs in one place. Point is, this song is really catchy for his subscribers aka the Delirious Army. I listen to it a lot!

Singing Hit Songs from 2000 to 2016 – Michael Constantino (on Kiss 108FM)

That is some talent! And this is super fun! Imagine remembering the lyrics on the go! I just wish that I could listen to Kiss 108FM but I’m not in USA so no access. We need some creative guys here who can pull it off on our radio. There has to be something fun.

Groovy George – Mike Williams & Justin Mylo

I can’t wrap things up without a little electronic music! Amp up the energy with some groovy beats! This one definitely fits the bill! 🙂

That’s it for this Music Obsessions!
Slim pickings, my friends! For what it is, these are all pretty great quality music! That is what counts!

What songs are you listening to now?

This Week’s: Music Obsessions (plus a little update and some help)!

Its been a while since I’ve done a music obsessions session! I usually like these quite a bit.  Plus, it fills on the rather eventless week.

Unless you’d like to listen to me rant on about my ridiculously bad days and the crazy busy days that go too fast and well, that I’d really hope for all of you to wish for some miracle where I can pull off this deadline.  Today has embarked into 10 hour work day already, and as the end of the month inches closer, tomorrow looks pretty intense.  Not really looking forward to that so yes, my MP3 is loaded with new music to get me through and when in doubt, I have my trusty radio (although they haven’t been playing really good music).  I don’t know about your stations but every time I turn on mine, its either player Timber (*rolls eyes*) or some Rihanna song.  I’m not a huge fan to begin with as in I tolerated it when it first started but now, its just getting annoying.

Ah, the ranting started…I’m so sorry.  Let me get back on track!

I’d have to take back that this week was eventless.  It actually was pretty busy with hangouts with friends and house stuff.   Before we get to the music, lets give you a few updates on my house renovation progress 🙂

My boyfriend had a week off and he was mega awesome and while I found little bits of time here and there to start shifting my stuff over (such as winter clothes). He officially finished everything for the master bedroom and can sleep in there now.  We have a lovely shade of purplish-brown with trimmings of an off whitish-yellow.  It looks really awesome! Seriously, its way better than I had imagined.  Plus, my bathroom color was a guesstimate when we went to buy the paint and it was THIS COLOUR! Its still missing the trimmings but the bathroom is absolutely soothing to look at 🙂 I don’t know who showers and looks at the ceiling but I know I’ll be admiring it quite a bit and drifting off into my zone.

Nothing really beats how I really felt this quote represents my weekend.

This weekend, my best friend had some good news to share which actually makes me so happy for her.  Seeing the people I love happy really makes me feel great.  But, my best friend knows me well enough that she initiate a hangout in my busy time because she knew that I needed it to just breath and chat.  We ended up going for dinner then karaoke but nothing really replaces that feeling of her just being there for me and making sure I’m going to make it through this crazy time.  She doesn’t read the blog normally but she knows that I thank her so much for taking me out.

I’ve been really lacking on the movie reviews front and Netflix is joining forces to mess with me because I have 5 movies expiring on May 1st and only a few days to watch it.  So I need to make some choices.  What movie do you think is a must-see among these five?

• Less Than Zero (1987)
• Welcome to the Rileys (2010)
• From Paris with Love (2010)
• Anna and the King (1999)
• An Invisible Sign (2010)

Please tell me in the comments and tell me what you think? 

Now that all the business is out of the way, I’ve been listening on repeat these songs 🙂

 Crazy For You – Hedley

I’ve never been much of a Hedley fan but somehow this song is really addictive and catchy.  Plus, I just checked out the video this weekend and I think its pretty cool 🙂

We Are Stars – Virginia to Vegas (ft Alyssa Reid)

This song is inspiring and encouraging.  Its not about love but just a boost of energy to listen to. It matches what I need nowadays! 🙂

Story of My Life – One Direction (Alex Goot cover)

This one is the most recent one as this cover was only out this weekend, I believe. I really like Alex Goot a lot and I love it when he does videos where he does everything: guitar, drums, voice, piano. It shows how talented it is and I aspire to be like him one day. As much as I love his collab covers and original works, I like that he went back to this roots for this cover 🙂

What song(s) have you been listening to on repeat?

Now that I’ve taken a little break from work (that I brought home, yes) and written up some nice positive stuff, I’m feeling a lot more relaxed and ready to be focused and hopefully get into turbo mode 🙂

So yes, I’ll be waiting for your suggestions for which Netflix movie to start with.  It’ll be my companion tonight, haha!

Okay! Break over! Back to work!!
