Top5 - My Favs For April
This month there's not too much in the way of unique music. But there are a few gems that I personally have only recently discovered.
- "Killa" by Cherish feat. Yung Joc (>/+). I believe this one's been used for the Gossip Girl promos for a month or two. I really liked it then and I liked it even more after it aired on The Hills a few weeks ago. It's now up to 8 plays on Windows Media Player since April 8th.
- "Collie Man" by Slightly Stoopid (>/+). This song is now one of my favorites since it aired on Scrubs last week. I haven't had the chance to listen to many other Slightly Stoopid tracks other than this and "Sweet Honey" (>/+), so I've got some listening homework ahead of myself. Anyone else fans? Already up to 7 plays since April 27th.
- "Steady As She Goes" by The Raconteurs (>/+). This song rocks! I've heard it a few times before as background music, but I finally heard it on YouTube the other day and had to finally download it. I love the lyrics and the way they sing them. 5 plays since April 29th.
- "All Summer Long" by Kid Rock. I seem to recall this song being used as a KFC commercial. Am I right? I don't think they ever played the lyrics, but when I finally heard this on the radio a few weeks ago, I fell in love. "Sweet Home Alabama" is a freaking awesome song and always has been. This so-called remake, or should I say rework, is great. And, having grown up in northern Michigan, I love the line "it was summertime in northern Michigan". As, I think, does everyone else here considering it's already been getting great play on WIOG. 2 plays since I finally downloaded it today.
- "Boys" by Ashlee Simpson. Okay, I admit it. I've liked a lot of Ashlee Simpson songs over the years. Not all of them though. I heard this one, as did millions of other people, "live" (defined as moving your lips in sync with a vocal track according to Ashlee) on Dancing With The Stars. Although, I've got to admit, she did sound good that night. I like the retro beat and the sound of her voice. Unfortunately, I don't care for any of the other songs on her new CD. Good try Ashlee and better luck if there's a next time. Aww, who am I kidding? Of course there will be a next time, she's a mid-celeb with an okay voice and a famous sister. 4 plays since April 22nd.
Oh, and a bonus performance of my current number one over three months or so...
