You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go

This song by Bob Dylan was released on his 15th (yes, 15th) studio album Blood on the Tracks in 1975.

Surprisingly, I had never heard this song until last week when I went to the Miley concert, but I love it.  She first cover the song on the Bob Dylan tribute album Chimes of Freedom which was released in January 2012.

The album is four discs with a total of 73 tracks.  Singers, musicians, and bands on the album include, but are not limited to:  Johnny Cash, The Avett Brothers, Patti Smith, Pete Townshend, Ziggy Marley, Sting, The Gaslight Anthem, Lenny Kravitz, Miley Cyrus, Elvis Costello, Natasha Bedingfield, Jackson Browne, Jack's Mannequin, Adele, Carly Simon, Bad Religion, My Chemical Romance, RedOne, Nils Lofgren, Darren Criss, SinĂ©ad O'Connor, Kesha, Maroon 5, Dave Matthews Band, and of course Bob Dylan.

The album was for charity with the proceeds going to the organization Amnesty International.  The record debuted in the United States at number 11 with 22,000 copies, while the 2-CD Starbucks version debuted at 38 with more than 10,200 copies sold.

Miss Movin' On

I was in the car with my friend today and she played the song "Miss Movin' On" by Fifth Harmony.  I have to say, I was not a fan of Fifth Harmony at all...until I heard that song.

It's addicting.

The song was their debut single off their debut EP Better Together.  The EP is sold at Target stores and can be purchased through iTunes and Amazon.

The EP has five songs:

  1. Don't Wanna Dance Alone
  2. Miss Movin' On
  3. Better Together
  4. Who Are You
  5. Leave My Heart Out of This
One bonus track if you purchase on iTunes, "Me & My Girls" (my personal favorite), and one bonus track if you purchase at Target called "One Wish."

#GETITRIGHT

Yesterday was the Miley concert, which is why I didn't make it on here last night.  One word to describe it:  AMAZING!!!!

I saw the show at the IZOD Center in East Rutherford, NJ.  Was it inappropriate?  A tad, yes.  The "F" word was said/sung several times, but the words are also in her songs so I went to the concert expecting that, but I also don't really care - I love her regardless of whether she says words like that or not.

She seemed a lot better than she did at her Boston show the previous night.  For those who are unaware, her dog Floyd died and she was devastated, as most people are when their pet dies.  But she put on a smile and still had an incredible show and thanked us all for being there for her.

Here was the set-list:

  1. SMS (Bangerz)
  2. 4x4
  3. Love Money Party
  4. My Darlin'
  5. Maybe You're Right
  6. FU
  7. Do My Thang
  8. #GETITRIGHT
  9. Can't Be Tamed
  10. Adore You
  11. Drive
  12. Rooting For My Baby
  13. You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go (Bob Dylan cover)
  14. Summertime Sadness (Lana Del Rey cover)
  15. Jolene (Dolly Parton cover)
  16. 23
  17. On My Own
  18. Someone Else
Encore:
  1. We Can't Stop
  2. Wrecking Ball
Encore 2:
  1. Party in the U.S.A.
Here are some pictures from the concert:

I wanted to upload the videos I took of "Summertime Sadness," "23," and "Wrecking Ball," but the videos were taking an extremely long time to upload so I'll post them on a later date, maybe one a day.

Heartache On The Big Screen

Photo:  Me!

I received this in the mail today!! :D It's 5 Seconds of Summer's new EP and first release in the US, She Looks So Perfect - EP (US Tour Edition) and that's why this artwork is different from the regular EP release.

The album is so good!  My favorite song is probably "Heartache On The Big Screen" (an outgoing song) with "The Only Reason" a close second.

You can purchase a physical copy of the album here with:
  1. She Looks So Perfect
  2. Heartache On The Big Screen
  3. The Only Reason
  4. Disconnected*
*Physical only

Or you can purchase it on iTunes with:
  1. She Looks So Perfect
  2. Heartache On The Big Screen
  3. The Only Reason
  4. What I Like About You*
*Digital only

As you may have guessed, "What I Like About You" is their cover of the 1979 hit by The Romantics.

I suggest you get a copy of this album especially if you are into the alternative genre.
