Cindy Lou Who...Who?

I was looking at silly pics on DamnLOL and came across this one.

So I did some searching for her now, and this is what I've found. Cindy Lou Who (Taylor Momsen) is now all grown up and badass as hell! It's okay boys, go ahead and drool. She was 18 this year.

Charles Miller- Maybach Music 2

With the upcoming release of Millers new album, I thought I'd share something from the first. He's a great friend of mine who never fails to speak in passing. Not your usual "hometown" rapper, he truly does his music for the sake of art. I'm sharing this and asking if you want a copy of the cd, just let me know. If you want him to come do a gig for free, let me know. I'll see what I can do. On the real, he's good people and I couldn't be more proud to share his music on my blog.

Chris Brown- Look at Me Now

Lazy!

I'm actually off work today, and I plan on listening to this on repeat. If you feel me, join me in my complete laziness!

Solace Lost

 

Last Saturday I braved the mean streets of ATL (Stone Mountain to be exact) yet again to see the Georgia Battle of the Bands. I was surprised that the other bands were horrible! I wasn't impressed to say the least...until Solace Lost took the stage. I had prepared for their live show, by listening to them constantly for a few days prior, but had no idea what was in store for me. They were loud, hard, and everything I wanted to see in a show! I knew it would be good...but it was simply skull shattering! The crowd was involved, the musicians were on point and I was blown away to say the least. If you ever get the chance to catch a show...definitely do it!

Heads up...new music!!!

#1 this week on Billboard's Rock chart is The Black Keys "Tighten Up". I actually like this one, however commercial it may be. I've had it on my phone for a few weeks now, and listen to it at work. Not my usual style of music, but it has a certain flow and bluesy sound that I tend to gravitate towards. I probably will never download another song by this band...but I'll enjoy this one for now.





Onto a band that has a etched a permanent mark on me...My Chemical Romance. I know, I'm such an "emo" kid or whatever term you are affectionately calling fans of MCR these days. Honestly, there is very little these guys do that I don't love...even when I try not to like it at all! I give you...."Sing" Oh, and tell me Gerard Way doesn't have amazing vocal talent and I will straight up punch you in the face! :D





Now that I've given you my "rock" songs this week...let's change it up a bit. My pal Mister_Bones posted a video for Kanye West's "Monster" and I've not been able to stop watching it since. Instead of playing copy cat, you can take a trip to his blog and see the video here. This song is so packed with artists that I enjoy, it can't possibly be bad! Rick Ross, Jay-Z, and Nicki Manaj....just greatness. The video is what takes it to another level for me. As those of you that follow this blog know, I love horror and this delves into some things I'm sure they will never show on MTV.

So that's it for this installment of Heads up...New Music. Until next time!

Heads up...new music!!!

I've been posting WBW and other old shit for a while now. I guess it should be noted that I'm not so stuck in the past that I don't listen to new music. We all know we have our favorite old music...

I've been listening to quite a bit of new music lately actually. I've checked out some new bands, as well as some old bands with new releases. I'll give you some suggestions today.

First, let us begin with a band that I'd not heard of as of yet. Automatic Loveletter. The lead singer is a chick, who in my opinion is awesome! Yeah, yeah, "Angela likes another chick band!", but this one is pretty tight to say the least. Give a listen:

Automatic Loveletter- Heart Song



Now if that's not to your liking...lets go with a band you may already know. Bullet for my Valentine released a new album "Fever" in April of 2010. After checking it out, I've become obsessed with "Begging for Mercy". This song rips my face off. I know it's now January of 2011, and that puts me discussing this a little behind schedule, but hey I'm a busy woman! Just listen to the damn song!

Bullet for my Valentine- "Begging for Mercy"




I was going to leave you with this, because these are both great songs. However, I will add another "chick band" song for your ears. Picture me Broken is slowly becoming one of my favorite new artists. Layla "Brooklyn" Allman is yet another female vocalist that I want to emulate. I've always been impressed when anyone can go from pretty sing songy melodies to full on vocal chord ripping screams and back with little to no effort. She does just that in "Dearest (I'm so sorry)". All wrapped in a pretty blonde package. Doesn't seem that she should be making the sounds she is capable of....check it out.

Picture Me Broken- Dearest (I'm So Sorry)




Yes, the video is rather silly and childish. She's practically a baby, mind you. If the ridiculousness is too bad,  just don't watch!

I think I will leave you with this for now. Any suggestions are welcome, as I like expanding my musical knowledge in many directions. Hope you all had a great first day to a new year. I'm glad to say mine was actually really good...looking back, I can't remember a day in ages that was good throughout. Maybe this can be a trend or something.

Until I post something again....
