Welcome to the first edition of…Tunetastic Tuesday!!! [and applause and cheering ensued]. This is essentially the same thing as the “iPod Suggestions” and “Ear Candy” sections…but I changed the name and the format. Enjoy the tunes…and the mix at the end! 
#1. “Laser Canon Deth Sentence” by Dethklok off of Dethalbum II. Now, you are probably thinking one of two things. Either a.) Who the hell is Dethklok? or b.) Why do you have a band from an animated cartoon series on Adult Swim on your blog? Now, these are both legitimate questions. Dethklok is, in fact, a real band [now] and they produce awesome music. I downloaded Dethalbum II and practically pooped my pants because it was so good. It doesn’t sound like clips/scenes from the show anymore, it sounds like actual music.
#2. “Don’t Bore Us, Get To The Chorus” by Emery off of I’m Only A Man. I love Emery. There, I said it. This song is really great, for one reason and one reason only: the song is about wanting to do someone. That is the whole premise of the song. Doing it, with someone that you just met. It isn’t creepy at all…its sexy.
#3. “Days Like Masquerades” by The Academy Is… off of Lost In Pacific Time. LIPT is the EP that The Academy Is… released for the AP Tour Fall Ball. I’m not going to lie…the EP is really good. I mean, I was already a fan of their music, but I did not like Santi that much. LIPT is just a pretty solid 5-track album.
#4. “The Few That Remain” by Set Your Goals off of This Will Be The Death Of Us. I love Set Your Goals…I did not however, love their new album [This Will Be The Death Of Us] until I heard this song. This song features the wonderfully talented [and adorable] Haley Williams, of Paramore. This song is just a really good song.
#5. “(I Used To Make Out With) Medusa” by Bring Me The Horizon off of Count Your Blessings. I’m going to say this now…there is a chance…a very large chance…that you’re not going to like this song or this band. They are very hardcore…very hardcore. This is one my favorite songs by them. I enjoy their music by the way, just in case you were wondering.
#6. “Perfectionist” by Asher Roth off of Asleep On The Bread Aisle. I figured that since this year’s freshman class doesn’t quite remember how popularly awesome “I Love College” was, I would reacquaint the world with Asher Roth. Yes, his album is still wonderful. Yes, he still loves college. And yes, he is quite the perfectionist. This song is such a great little tune, I enjoy it a lot.
#7. “Now That We’re Done” by Metro Station off of their self-titled debut album Metro Station. I heard this song once and went “AHHHH! I love this song now!” and now I listen to it all the time…because I rock? Yes, because I rock. [For those of you who didn't know, the lead singer of Metro Station is the brother of Miley Cyrus...how awesome is that?]
#8. “Fix You” by Coldplay off of X&Y. This album, is probably the best album by Coldplay. This song seriously makes me weep when I hear it…ahhh, I’m tearing up just hearing the song in my head now.
I hope you guys like the songs. To hear them all…click the link right below this sentence.
