Goldfish, a yummy snack for your ears (yes, you read that correctly)

There are some songs that are meant to be on commercials or in movies/movie trailers. We've all heard a song for the first time and said, "This song should be a in a commercial", or at least I have anyway. But I've never heard multiple songs by an artist and said, track after track, "This song needs to be in a commercial/trailer/movie, and this song, and this song, and this song." I've never said that until today. A while ago I was listening to Pandora. I had my relaxing station playing (it's actually my "Porcelain" by Moby station, make fun of me all you want, but it's a cool song) and an upbeat song without words, but had a lot of kick. I looked at the artist, Goldfish, and didn't think much of it. The song was called Mbira Beat, and today I thought I would check out more songs by Goldfish for fun. I HIT THE JACKPOT! Goldfish uses some old school sounds, mixes them electronically, shakes it up with their own smooth and new age/hip style and turns out track after track of amazingness. When you hear their sound you'll agree, these songs need to be on commercials/trailers/movies, and not in a cheesy way, but in a new and funky way (I can't really explain it). Anyway, give them a listen!!!! Goldfish in general gets a CRUISE IT, and of course REPEAT IT

Youtube has a mix for them, check it outttttt: http://www.youtube.com/artist?a=GxdCwVVULXfpyAhQqMDH0g1R2NQxkovn&feature=bottomfeedr 


Did I mention they have funny and weird videos? No, I didn't? Well check out this one!



Annndd this song is in the 2010 Kia Soul Commercial

Like OMG! There's another song called OMG

"If I Was You (OMG)" by Far East Movement Feat. Snoop Dogg (Disco Fries Remix). Alright, I'll give the original some credit, but this remix makes this even better.  I found the remix when I was scanning through the songs on http://www.fratbeatz.com/ The lyrics are a little raunchy, but you shouldn't really expect anything less of Far East Movement or Snoop, and together raunchy comes automatic. The song is great to dance to and sing to, so get on your feet. CRANK IT

Too Fake By Big Sean feat. Chiddy Bang

Too Fake by Big Sean feat. Chiddy Bang has a laid back beat for those hot, slow summer days (a.k.a today, there's a heat advisory in Bethlehem, PA right now). I heard this song a while ago in a friend's car, but found it yesterday when I was romping around on Fratbeatz.com (not as put together as Fratmusic.com, but a great place to look for remixes and new songs now and again) Chiddy Bang kills it. I'll always love Chiddy after seeing them open for Kid Cudi. Pretty awesome show (RJD2 performed too). Enjoy your summer, and stay cool. REPEAT IT

UK Charts 6/7

This week's new songs on the UK Charts are awesome for summer. Download them and take your i-pod outside and enjoy the sun!

To see the complete list of songs this week on the UK Charts: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/chart/singles



#6 "What A Feeling" By Alex Guadino Feat. Kelly Rowland. What an awesome song for summer?! Alex Guadino struck gold with "I'm In Love" (I Wanna Do It) a few months ago, and teaming with Kelly Rowland has blasted this song onto the charts. It's upbeat, and fun and I'm definitely feeling it. Did I mention girlfriend looks fierce in the video? REPEAT IT, CRANK IT, FEEEEL IT!



#30 "Don't Stop The Party" By The Black Eyed Peas. It seems the Black Eyed Peas have no intention on stopping the party. They keep cranking out hit after hit. The video is pretty cool, giving an inside glimpse into their lives as performers. CRANK IT



#40 "Love Love" By Take That, has a pretty intense sound, which is probably why it's linked with X-Men First Class (which I still need to see). It's a bit ballad-y, making the chorus fun to sing along to. LOVE (LOVE) IT
