Still Crazy After All These Years

One of Paul Simon's greatest solo albums is Still Crazy After All These Years.  The 1975 release, which won a Grammy [1], features songs:

1.  Still Crazy After All These Years

2.  My Little Town

3.  I Do It for Your Love

4.  50 Ways to Leave Your Lover

5.  Night Game

6.  Gone at Last

7.  Some Folks' Lives Roll Easy

8.  Have a Good Time

9.  You're Kind

I went thrift shopping with my friend yesterday and the moment I saw the album I realized I just HAD to have it!  This record is of course post-Simon and Garfunkel, but the duo reunited in this album for the song "My Little Town," which is definitely nice to see - well hear.

Let It Bleed

One of the greatest albums of all time.  The Rolling Stones did wonders with this album.  Several world famous hits came from this album. "You Can't Always Get What You Want" and "Gimme Shelter" are my personal favorites from the 1969 release.

The record, to me, plays an important role in where I am today with my respect for music.  Music today is so different from what it used to be. I wasn't around for the best era of music, but I know a lot about a little.  The Rolling Stones is such an iconic band that wrote about things that actually made sense.  That may be why I love this album so much.  

Summer "Vacation"

School is now out so it is time to go to beach and have fun.  Since I am in a great mood, I'll talk about a song that will hopefully put you in a good mood if you are not already.
"Vacation" by the Go-Go's is such a fun Summer song to listen to.  The opening of the song may be one of the reasons why I love it so much.

There is no way I could go an entire Summer without listening to this song.  Listening to it as often as I can really keeps me in the mood for Summer.

Sammy Adams to my collection

I purchased four of Sammy Adams' mixtapes on eBay on Tuesday and I received them in the mail yesterday.  I absolutely love them!  The four CDs are OK Cool which is a pre-album to his upcoming album I Wish, Into The Wild, Party Records, and Boston's Opening Day.

The genre for the mixtapes is rap, which I know I have spoken about before but I think Sammy Adams is amazing and really cute so I have brought myself to listen to it.  While the majority of the songs are actually rap, he has a couple of remixes on the tapes.  He did a remix of Lady Gaga's "Poker Face" on Boston's Opening Day and "No Speak Americano" with the original artist Yolanda Be Cool on Party Records.  Party Records has DJs DJ Whoo Kid and DJ J. Cash, Into The Wild has DJ Jayceeoh, and OK Cool has DJ Jayceeoh and Clinton Sparks.

The collection I bought contains several different producers on each of them like Deadmau5.  I would list all of the songs and producers/DJs for each song but that would be an extremely long list - 54 to be exact.  I would never make you sit through that.

We Can't Stop

I have been a fan of Miley's ever since Hannah Montana started.  When she released this song, I at first was a little disappointed, but as I kept on listening to it, it began to grow on me and now I really like it.
I have been hearing a lot of complaints about how she's "not being a good role model for her younger fans" and it is getting on my nerves.  These are the reasons why I would never want to be on Disney - you can never grow up.  She is 19-years-old so she should be able to sing about whatever she wants.  That's just my own opinion, though.
The music video for "We Can't Stop" was released today so I thought I'd give it to you.
