Evangeline

It really is crazy how different a vinyl sounds from an CD.

I am listening to "Evangeline" recorded by Emmylou Harris and The Band on my iTunes playlist.  I usually listen to the song on The Last Waltz original vinyl and it is incredible how different they sound.  You see with vinyls, the song is directly recorded onto the record while CDs are just "copies" of the songs which are edited and what not.

But this is only true if you have classic records.  New records like Skrillex and Fun. are just like CDs so for you to really see the difference you need a Peter Allen or Men at Work album.  

Wrecking Ball

I have been a fan of Miley Cyrus since her Hannah Montana days.  It is upsetting to see everything she has recently done, but that will not stop me from buying her new album Bangerz or from even talking about her on my blog.

She has had several music videos in the previous years.  In honor of Miley Cyrus and her, as some would say, "better days," here are her music videos.

Money

I traveled to Vintage Vinyl in Fords, NJ today and got some new records!  Well, they were used. One man's trash is another man's treasure?

Back to the point, I bought three records.  The one was Money by the Flying Lizards.  The record contains only two tracks since it is in fact in single format.  I also purchased a Mamas & the Papas record that features their hits "Monday Monday," "Dedicated To The One I Love," "Words of Love,"and several others.  The last record I bought was a Queen hits album which includes "Crazy Little Thing Called Love," "We Will Rock You," and many more hits.

If you live in the area, Vintage Vinyl has a huge and great selection of vinyls, CDs, and DVDs, although the music takes up a majority of the space.  They have used and new vinyl records available for purchase and the prices are not bad either.  I love the store and try to get there as much as I can! 

We Own It (Fast & Furious)

"We Own It (Fast & Furious)" is a song that was originally recorded by 2 Chainz and Wiz Khalifa.  I know I do not like rap but I love a remix done of this.

Mike Posner, the guy who sings "Cooler Than Me" and features in "L.A. Story" by Sammy Adams, got together with Niykee Heaton, T. Mills, and Sammy Adams to recreate this song.  I think I first watched the video just because Sammy Adams was in it but I ended up really liking the tune!

Now, the interesting part is the lyrics were changed, hence why it is a remix!  Here's the video:

Sweater Weather

So I bought The Neighbourhood's I Love You. on Saturday and it is fantastic, no joke!

All of  the songs are written by the lead singer Jesse Rutherford.  They are all so well written and I think they really show what The Neighbourhood, nicknamed THE NBHD, is all about.

I Love You. is their first studio album and was released this past April.  It has eleven tracks as listed below:

1. How
2. Afraid*
3. Everybody's Watching Me (Uh Oh)
4. Sweater Weather*
5. Let It Go*
6. Alleyways
7. W.D.Y.W.F.M.?
8. Flawless
9. Female Robbery
10. Staying Up
11. Float

I bet you have jumped to the conclusion that they are another British band since they spell neighborhood with a "u" but that is not the case.  According to the group, they originally came up with The Neighborhood, but it was suggested that they spell it the English way because it looks cooler and I think it does look cooler.

Jesse Rutherford, Jeremy Freedman, Zach Abels, Mikey Margott, and Bryan Sammis all make up the alternative rock band.  I watch interviews with them on YouTube and they are a fun group of guys, I won't lie.

You can purchase the debut album on iTunes and in stores (I got mine at Target).
