#TBT-00s Hits.

Hey guys, this blog entry is picture less, because I still don't know how to add pictures on my computer. If anyone blogs from a mac, please let me know! 

We all remember these songs, as if they were yesterday. They were playing on our iPod nanos, and they were on repeat. These are the songs that rocked my preteen years, on my windows computer. Here's a few of my favorites from the new millennium.

Best of Both Worlds by Hannah Montana;Before there was Miley Cyrus tweaking on the VMAs, there was Hannah Montana. And she rocked the worlds of pretty much every person in my middle school back in 2006. She was on the pink iPod nanos of many people, and the television of everything. It's safe to say I was a big Hannah fan through out my middle school days. It's kinda strange to see Miley in her wrecking ball era, but I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for Hannah. Even though they were the same person.
Thanks for the Memories by Fall Out Boy; This was my jam the summer before 8th grade. I learned about this song I think through a commercial, and when I first got my iPod I literally listened to that song on repeat. I still actually have this song on my current iTunes, and am still a huge Fall Out Boy fan. (My Songs Know What You Did In the Dark is actually now playing on my iTunes as I type this.) However, I will always remember that first song that made me fall in love with the band. No pun intended.
Hollaback Girl by Gwen Stefani; Thanks to Gwen Stefani, I know how to spell the word banana. End of the story.
Lala Land by Demi Lovato; Demi was my idol even back in my freshman year of high school. Lala land and Get Back were always playing on my iPod. However, back then I didn't have the respect for her as an artist as I do now.
Lollipop by Lil Wayne; This song reminds me of my middle school days when I actually thought rap was cool. Now looking back, I know what this song actually means. Needless to say, it's not actually about candy. However, I'll be listening to this song as I'm going to my eighth grade dance. But now, I don't listen to that music. Like at all.

What's your favorite song from the 00s?

Music Monday [Special Sunday Edition]-Superbowl Playlist

Hey so it's the Superbowl. Let me tell you that I'm not going to be the one cheering on the teams to victory. I'm more of eating all of the munchies that I can stuff my face with, in addition to the commercials and the half time show. However, I think that part of every game being a former athlete needs to have some awesome music to motivate you. So, here's some of my former favorites to help me get motivated, and to quote High School Musical, to get my head in the game. Also, some of these songs were not made during my badminton days, but oh well;

Dirty Deeds, Back in Black, and Highway to Hell by AC/DC
Sweet Emotion by Aerosmith
My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark by Fall Out Boy
I Love It by Icona Pop
Edge of Glory by Lady Gaga
We Will Rock You by Queen (Cause come on no sporting event is complete with out this song.)

What's on your superbowl playlist? Comment below?

Music Monday: Fall Out Boy.

Back in middle school, an emo band played on the radio. Their song? Thanks for the Memories. I immediately fell in love with that song, and still play it loudly today. However, my knowledge of the band now is greater, especially since I've actually had the chance to listen to most of their music.
Infinity on High, and From Under the Cork Tree are some of the albums that have gotten me through my awkward teen years. However, nostalgia isn't the reason why I'm featuring this band. It's because after almost five years, they released another astounding album. That would be called Save Rock and Roll, which is currently one of my favorite albums of 2013. One of the perks? It features Elton John, who is one of my favorite singers.
Whenever I listen to their music, I immediately feel like a bad ass. The difference between this sort of rock and roll, and the classic rock and roll is that their music has the tendency to get stuck in my head. Seriously, it's annoying. But if it's a good song, like most of Fall Out Boy's music is, then it's quite alright.
Favorite Fall Out Boy Songs:

• Alpha Dog
• Our Lawyer Made us Change The Name of the Song so We Couldn't Get Sued
• Dance, Dance
• Sugar We're Going Down
• Nobody Puts Baby in a Corner
• I Don't Care
• Thanks for the Memories 
• The Carpal Tunnel of Love
• I'm Like A Lawyer With the Way I'm Trying to Get You Off
• The Pheonix
• Where Did The Party Go?
• The Mighty Fall 
• Save Rock and Roll
• This Ain't A Scene; It's an Arms Race
• My Songs Know What You Did In the Dark

Fall Out Boy is our  generation's Aerosmith, in my opinion. So, pull on your skinny jeans, and save rock and roll kids!

My Middle School Tunes.

So, lately, I've been doing a lot of reminiscing. After all, graduating high school gets one thinking about their past experiences, and wonder about the ones that we have yet to expect in the future. I'm scared of what my future would bring, but at the same time, I am eager to see what's out there for me, to see what comes in my path.
Anyways, I was reading a magazine the other day, and one of the ideas for something was to make a playlist about the tunes that once rocked my world in middle school; the days when I first began to dip my foot into the pool of great music. I remember when the one gig iPods came out, and everyone would look at each other's to see what kind of music you were into. Now we have cell phones that play music. Wierd, huh? So, here you go.

1. Start All Over by Miley Cryus: Back when I was in eighth grade, Hannah Montana first came out, and I seriously thought that all of her songs were amazing. I hate to admit it, but I actually have seen pretty much all of the episodes of Hannah Montana. I gotta admit it was a pretty cool show. Ah, old Disney Channel. 
2. Six Feet Under the Stars by All Time Low: I discovered this band in eighth grade, and still to this day love them. This was the first song that I had downloaded by them, and I'm sure as hell glad I did. 
3. Welcome to the Black Parade by My Chemical Romance: Back when I was a kid, I thought it was cool to be goth, and try the whole wearing black thing/emo music thing. Needless to say, it's a good thing that I decided that it wasn't much of my thing-however it did have some amazing music. 
4. Umbrella by Rihanna: This was such a huge hit in the summer of 2007. I seriously used to like jam to this song. I also think this is also when Rihanna became like a serious artist kinda. 
5. Cyclone by Baby Bash: I thought I was a cool cat back then by listening to rap music. I wasn't. CAUSE SHE MOVES HER BODY LIKE A CYCLONE, AND SHE MAKES ME WANNA DO IT ALL NIGHT LONG.
6. Church by T-Pain: What I said for the above song applies here also. 
7. Break the Ice by Britney Spears: Briney made her comeback in 07. Needless to say, I used to enjoy singing along to this oh so catchy tune. How can you like not enjoy her music? 
8. Forever by Chris Brown: They played this song at my eighth grade dance. I throughly enjoy this song, mainly because it reminds me of my first crush. 
9. Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana: I discovered Nirvana in eighth grade also. Good stuff. 
10. 4 Minutes by Madonna: Another eighth grade dance song. I enjoyed the video, in addition to I tried to repilicate the movement. Needless to say-it didn't work. 
11. Thanks for the Memories by Fall Out Boy: ONE NIGHT, AND ONE MORE TIME, THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES, THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES! I love this song so much! Even though, it's really old, I still play it at top volume. 
12. I Write Sins, Not Tradgidies by Panic! At The Disco: I used to love this band, back in the day.
13. There's a Good Reason Why These Tables Are Marked Honey, You Just Haven't Thought Of Them Yet by Panic! At The Disco: They have such long song names. That's what makes them awesome. 
14. State of the Union by Rise Against: I used to love punk music so much. 
15. Face Down by the Red Jumpsuit Apparatus: This song was like the first screamo song I ever listened to. I however thought that the message of the song was amazing, because love really shouldn't be abuse. End of story. 
16. How to Save a Life by the Fray: I used to love the Fray so much. I forgot about them. Maybe I should give that CD a spin sometime in the near future. 
17. Miss Murder by AFI: Another punk days song...

So, I give y'all a challenge-turn on your iPod nanos, and brace yourselves and remember the songs that once rocked your world back in the day.
