i really like music. i am no expert on music and don't really know why i like what i like, but i love to find new music. i am not musically talented... i only have remnants of things i learned having piano lessons many years ago. but, nonetheless, i love music. i so enjoy hosting parties and coming up with playlists for parties. a couple of friends and i are already talking about a back to school party in auburn and in my pasttime have been looking up so really fun party music. here is a bit of my "party playlist".
- M.I.A. - "Paper Planes"; i love this song so stinkin much. it energizes me so much... makes me want to dance, run, whatever, which is good because i can always use a little help getting energized. i wonder if i will ever grow tired of this song.
- Coldplay - "Lost (feat. Jay-Z)"; the amazing coldplay. this song pumps me up. more upbeat than your average coldplay song... great for a party. plus, i love the way coldplay's songs word things... beautiful lyrics. love it.
- Rilo Kiley - "Silver Lining"; my friend gave me this song recently on a mixed cd. it's such a fun song. very catchy. i'm beginning to really like rilo kiley.
- Regina Spektor - "Hotel Song"; oh, regina. she's wonderful. very good beat. i don't know if there is a song of hers i do not like.
- No Doubt - "Spiderwebs"; i am a big fan of old school no doubt. i think it reminds me of when i was younger and loved cheesy teen movies. no doubt just makes me happy. its fun.
- MGMT - "Time to Pretend"; i think this is my new favorite band. they have a very unique sound, unlike any other band i've heard.
- Stevie Wonder - "Signed, Sealed, Delivered"; i love some oldies, and i really like stevie wonder. so fun at a party.
- Michael Jackson - "The Way You Make Me Feel"; this truly has always been one of my favorite songs to workout to, play at a party, just to have fun to. michael jackson truly created some great pop music! oh, and i loved watching him dance! this video music makes me very happy. i had never seen it until trying to find links for this post!
- Blackeyed Peas - "Boom Boom Pow" - i think people would be surprised to know that generally, i really like the blackeyed peas. they create such energetic, fun music with incredible beats. i really like this new song of theirs. and side note: one of the members, Taboo, just looks really crazy cool to me. he got married recently and his wedding was featured in InStyle Weddings... just had to get a wedding plug in there.
- A.R. Rahman - "Jai Ho"; i will end with another Slumdog Millionaire song ("Paper Planes" is featured in the movie). this song is the one played in the end dance scene. i love that movie and the energy it produces. i love the ethnic Indian sound.

Hey Kate, a couple things. I have been wanting to comment for a while now to give you the same warning I gave Sarah and I just keep forgetting. I wanted to let you know that I read it, so if you ever get the urge to talk about your awkward brother-in-law (me, not Steve), I will see it.
Also, I like when you and Sarah post about music. I have a problem with listening to too much talk radio so you two are my source for new music.
Keep the music posts coming.
