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

BOUNCE (to the beat of summer!)...schools out!

"Bounce" by Calvin Harris feat. Kelis is gonna be big!! I was perusing the UK Pop Charts Dance Genre page and found this song. Kelis is so much more than her Milkshake! But seriously, this is an upbeat jam that's great to dance to. REPEAT IT, CRANK IT, BOUNCE IT

School is winding down and it's time to get back to the music. To see all the songs on the UK Pop Charts this week http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/chart/singles

#3 "Where the Girls at?" by David Guetta, Flo Rida and Nicki Minaj. Did you just read that line up? How could this song be anything, but awesome. Packing some major starpower this song is for the dancefloor. What a great song to segway us into summer. Sadly the video isn't out yet, here's a youtube with lyrics. REPEAT IT, CRANK IT



#16 "I Can" by Blue. I wish they couldn't. I'm not into this song at all. I think the inspirational message is awesome, but the song leaves a lot to be desired. And the video??? Weird and boring. Check it out for yourself, hopefully you like it more than I do. SKIP IT, CAN'T (listen to) IT



#31 "Mr. Saxobeat" by Alexandra Stan packs a EURO-sound punch. Listen to it and you'll here the playful European vibe. Cross your fingers it makes its way to the good ol' U.S. of A. REPEAT IT, CRANK IT, EUROPE-TO-AMERICA IT



#33 "Bass Down Low" by Dev Feat. The Cataracs. If you've listened to a radio at all in the last couple months you've heard this song. If you been to a college party in the last nine/ten months, you've definitely heard this song. Good for the Cataracs for making the transition to Europe again. (They were also in Far East Movement's "Like a G6") CRANK IT

#40 "I'm Into You" by Jennifer Lopez Feat. Lil Wayne is an ok song, but the music video is smokin. JLo may have had twins, but she looks fabulous in this video. The whole video is just JLo looking fierce in different outfits and different scenes, and it's awesome. WATCH IT (listening not required)

Enjoy the sunshine kiddos!

I noticed that I've been posting a lot of party and pump-up songs. Don't get me wrong I love them (clearly), but I feel the need to switch things up. Spring has sprung and the time has come to put the top down, or open up the sun roof, or at least roll down the windows. Anyway, it's definitely time to enjoy the sun, well whenever you get a break from the rain (East Coast, what's up). I was perusing the usual sites, Dirty Mexican Lemonade and RCRD LBL, when I found these songs.

"That's Just Me" by XV is a song about doing you. For those who know me: ME,ME,ME,ME,ME,ME (only child syndrome). Ok, so now that's out of my system, back to XV. I was checking out DML, and sampled this song, I was instantly pleased. "That's Just Me" delivers a head-nodding, smooth beat, with a catchy chorus. I literally haven't stopped listening soooo... REPEAT IT, CRUISE IT

For those of you who don't know XV, check out his page http://www.myspace.com/xtothev

"How Can U Luv Me" by Unknown Mortal Orchestra is for the quirky crowd.  Found this little number on RCRD LBL. It's upbeat and fun, with a retro theme. Also you have to appreciate the spelling of  U and Luv, my mom just mastered texting and I get texts with those versions.  REPEAT IT,  CRUISE IT
