I will never get over you...

Happy Monday all! How was the beginning of every one's week? I hope it was great! I really haven't had a lot of time to blog lately because we are moving. Not really moving so much, more like fixing and painting before we move. On a brighter note, I will have a bigger kitchen, so I will have plenty of space to bake! I miss it so much! Anyway, while I have been painting, like anything else I do, I jam out to my Ipod.  I am in love with the new song by Gavin Degraw called "Not over you." I was hooked on him as soon as I heard heard the theme song to "One Tree Hill" years ago.  He is an amazing piano player. One of my favorite things about him is that if you ever see him perform, he sounds just like he does on the radio. That is a big deal for me. There is nothing worse than hearing a singer live, and thinking, wow, they really fixed their music. Anyway,  have a listen and judge for yourself.

Rock on!

You Make my Heart Beat...Faster

Does anyone out there have Sirius radio? We have it at work, and it's great...if you don't listen to the same station for 13 hours straight.  If you do, you know that it's the same songs over and over and over again. Seriously, over and over. To my delight, they throw in a new one once in awhile and it sucks me back in. This month's surprise hit is from Matt Nathanson. It's called "Faster." I am hooked, and yet slightly depressed because I used all of my ITunes money, so I have not been able to enjoy it out of work. Lame. If you have some money on your ITunes, feel free to download this little ditty!

Happy listening!

Christmas Tunes

How was your Thanksgiving? I hope everyone had a good time with family and friends. Did you stuff yourself silly. I know I did. I was a little sad this year because I was unable to make my family Cranberry sauce recipe. Everything is being packed up for the move to the new house. My kitchen is almost empty right now, so I didn't cook a thing. Oh well, there's always next year. Now we are moving on to my hubby's favorite  holiday. Christmas! That means Christmas music is here!  I'm a sucker for a holiday song. We have Sirius at work, and they switch to the Christmas songs Dec. 1st. I think it annoys most, but I sing along to them all.  I really enjoy the classic songs from the past, but I have a lot of fun ones from the present too. Most of my songs get taken off my Ipod until next season, but there is one that I keep and listen to all year with the rest of my downloads. It's called "Wish List" from Neon Trees. It is really upbeat and not to overly "holiday."
Make sure you add this song to your Christmas list for Santa...

Neon Trees "Wish List"
Yea! It's Christmas time!

It's not easy being Green.....or is it?

Is there anybody out there more excited than me about the new Muppet's movie coming out this week? I've been in love with the Muppet's since I was little. Kermit has always been my favorite. I had a Kermit Big Wheel when I was little, and it was my favorite thing ever.

I had a Muppet poster on my wall, and a Kermit and Fozzie bear stuffed animal. I still make my hubby take pics of me at the ride/show at Disney.  Over the past few weeks I have picked up some new Muppet attire and I am really excited. I actually found this shirt at target a few months back. My hubby laughed at me, but I bought it anyway.

 Shirt: Target   Capri's: Walmart   Socks: Target

I found these socks in the $1 bin at Target. I called my sister and begged her to check her Target for some more! Little did I know they were already in the mail for my B-day. I have an awesome sister.

My mom had sent me a box of cool stuff for my b-day also. In the box was this Limited Edition Yahtzee. I desperately want to open it, but I am behaving myself...for now.

 I saw this color a few months back at CVS and had to have it. Piggy should rock this color for her man.

 O.P.I also came out with a Muppet Collection!
O.P.I. The Muppets

 If you're a fan of the music from the show, you should check out The Green Album on ITunes. It features all the old classics but redone with artists of today. I like Paramore's Hayley Williams, so I love her version of "The Rainbow Connection" that she did with Wheezer.

Even the Pistachio commercials have gone Muppet Crazy!

Get out there and go see The Muppets!!! Long live Green!!

Play it again Sam...

As all of you know, I'm an Itunes Junky.  All things Itunes too, not just music.  I love the free tv shows, the movie rentals, and all the apps you can think of.  Today, though, is about music. I have a tendency to download songs, and play them over and over again. Here are my repeat offenders for the last week. Check them out.

The first one is Nicki Minaj- Superbass. The video is crazy, like she is, but I love the beats and chorus in this one.
Superbass

The other one is Paramour- All I wanted. I'm a big fan of  the series, Spartacus, on the Starz network.   The new season is coming up soon. This was the song in the commercial for the network. It's an awesome commercial, and the song is what makes it . Paramour is a great band. If you don't know them, well, I'm sad for you. You should be listening to them.

If you don't know the songs check them out, you won't be disappointed!
Rock out and Enjoy!

Glee!

Have you heard of the tv show, Glee? If you haven't, you should come back down to earth, or move the rock that you are under and join reality. I love this show. I've downloaded a song or five from Itunes that have been featured on the show. I find that sometimes I hear songs on the radio that I am so so about, but then hear them on Glee and love them. One of the most recent episodes featured a song from My Chemical Romance called "Sing." I saw them a few weeks ago on Conan, and liked the song, although it wasn't like the other songs that I had downloaded from them before. Then I heard it on Glee. It was instant love. Check out the two here.

I also downloaded this little number. I love a good Diva off. This is a great one to sing in the shower, or belt out in the car where no one can hear me. Laugh all you want to, you know you do it too.
Glee "Take me or leave me"
Go check them out!
Enjoy!

ITunes Freebies!!!

Let me start off by saying that I love my IPod. I blast my music in the car, the shower, and listen to it while cleaning the house. I also sing and dance but that is another story for another day. My dog has witnessed my awesome dance moves on a weekly basis. I am a huge fan of music! I am also a huge fan of the free stuff that they offer every week. Free stuff you say? That's right...free stuff. Every week ITunes offers free music, videos, and free TV episodes. Some of the music is.... well, "okay" would be the word I would use. However, on some occasions you get a good one. One of my favorites so far has been one called "Cool my Heels" from artist Nikki Yanofsky.

It is a great tune, and worth checking into. I also downloaded "Beautiful is gone" by The Ruse, and "Keep on Loving You" by Steel Magnolias. All free! What's also great is that they offer free TV episodes of some of my favorite shows. I downloaded one from Family Guy, The Office, and Fringe. Obviously some of the episodes are older ones, but when you are waiting at an appointment, or on a plane, they are well worth it. My last freebie was a video/song of "Gives you Hell" from Glee. I love Glee...therefore I love Glee freebies. So next time you are downloading new stuff, check out their Free Stuff section. Also, if your a movie lover, check out there movie deals. Every week they have cheap movies in every genre, and there is always a goodie!
Enjoy

I love me some ITunes!

Some new Favorites...
Do you ever find yourself getting excited when you hear certain commercials on tv? Your not excited about what they are selling, but excited because it has a really good song on in the background. That's me, I'm kind of a dork that way. I keep seeing a new commercial for "Camp Vegas." I love Vegas, and if you've been there, you know what I'm talking about. Anyway, they have been rocking a song called "Animal" by Neon Trees. I downloaded it right away, and I am addicted. Check it out if you get a chance. The video is below for your entertainment!
Neon Trees "Animal"
Itunes is putting up new 69 cent songs every week. I found a bunch of songs that I loved for cheap. One of the ones on the list was from The Ceasers called "Jerk It Out."

Go check it out!
.69 cents songs on ITunes!

I was updating my Ipod the other day and I came across an awesome deal. You know I love a good deal! They have a section right now called .69 Cent songs. I figured when I first checked it out it would be all older stuff, but I was wrong. They have it broken down into a sections. They have classics, rock, country, pop, and some one hit wonders. Some of the artists featured are Black Eyed Peas, Coldplay, Chris Cagle, Dierks Bentley, and Aerosmith. I even got one from Frank Sinatra. They have some songs from the 80's and 90's too. Go check them out before they are gone. I would suggest grabbing an Itunes card too, because I shot through my card pretty quick with all the stuff I downloaded. Have fun!

Broken IPod Buttons

Do you ever wonder if you can break the buttons on your IPod? I fear that this day is coming soon for me. I am always rewinding, and going back and forth to the same songs. I have a lot of favorites, but these two have been on the repeat for a few weeks now. Here are two songs that you might like.

I love music. All music, from different genres to different decades. Everything form country to rap, pop to rock, oldies and so on. This is one of my faves this week. It is from Travie McCoy. It's a little bit of rap, with a great chorus. I like rap, but some of it is a little to hard core for me. This one is right up my alley though. This is the explicit version, so if you have children be warned!!
Travie McCoy "Billionaire"
The other one I like is actually a remake of an oldie. It is from Jerrod Niemann. It's called Lover Lover, and it's a little bit country.
Jerrod Niemann "Lover Lover"

Enjoy!
