Flavors of the Month: Music

Here are some of my favorite hits this month, just in case you want to check them out.
They are playing on the blog, in the right column.

I'm Yours
by Jason Mraz
I just got his new album and since it is the only CD in my car, it oftentimes gets turned on when all of the radio stations are full of talk and commercials. This is a song that I put on repeat to learn the words and sing along. My favorite line is It's your God-forsaken right to be loved"

Knock 'em Out
by Lily Allen
If you need a good laugh, turn to Lily Allen. It is hysterical with its funny commentary and her British accent.

Viva la Vida
by Coldplay
If you know me really well, and I mean really well, you would know that I love any song that has string instruments and piano. Coldplay always comes through.

The OneRepublic Album
I'm getting ready to see them in concert come July with my Dad, so I have been listening to their whole album and there isn't one song I skip, which is saying something from an ADD music listener.

Lets Get Ready to Crumble
by The Russian Futurists
Get excited for something different. I am not a fan of the 80's, but it seems that this song with its old school beat adds a little spring to my step.

Headsprung
by LL Cool J
I rediscovered this old hit recently and found it very motivational when running. I can only really listen to 45 seconds of it because it is so repetitive, but it is a great 45 seconds to have when you are running up a hill.

Tambourine
by Eve
I just heard this song for the first time, but I like it so much it is lucky enough to be added to this list. It reminds me of "shake it 'n giggle it" song that my friend Alan introduced me to. I instantly got up and started shake it with my little 2 year old nephew. He got a laugh and then stood up to dance with me. Just make sure you get the edited version. I don't know what the unedited version says, but you might as well be safe about it.

Breathe In
by Frou Frou
Just one of those great songs that is versatile. If you need a little cry you don't feel too guilty doing it to this song, or if you are driving down the coast with the ocean breeze tossing your hair around you can be sure that it will put a little smile on your face.
