Urban Outfitters Saved My Life!



Unless you live in a black hole, at some point in your life, you've heard of Urban Outfitters.

When I first heard of this place (and visited it, at the Mall of America) I was confused. I had heard of Urban Behavior, Urban Planet, and now Urban Outfitters. I didn't spend too much time in the store, thinking all three stores were the same place and there wasn't much new to see.

I was dead wrong.

Since living in Vancouver, I've been to this place a couple of times, and I have to admit - IT'S FREAKING AMAZING.

Besides it having the most amazing collection of clothing and accessories (from multiple brands, some at incredible prices), this store has an incredible mix of collectibles, trendy gadgets, and a whole lotta other junk. I'm seriously addicted, and I'm trying to stay off of their website, which has an even greater selection of merchandise, as I am major brizzoke.

SO, if you've heard of Urban Outfitters and haven't been, or have not heard of Urban Outfitters and also have not been, I'm telling you now - GET TO THE NEAREST STORE!!

You'll love it!!!

Annie - I Know Ur Girlfriend Hates Me



I just came across this song, apparently from 2008, and it's hot. I'm lovin' the beat, and the chorus is catchy.

P.S. Why is it that all the great pop/techno/electro music usually comes from countries that are NOT the US or Canada? I could almost rationalize moving to Europe just for their great taste in music.

Almost.

Check out I Know UR Girlfriend Hates Me by Annie HERE on Youtube.

Lady Gaga - Dance in the Dark



NEW LADY GAGA!! Those three words always make my heart so happy. At this rate, we'll have all of Lady Gaga's new album by the end of next week!

A new song, Dance in the Dark, has leaked. In my opinion, it's good - but not GREAT. It might grow on me, but I'm not counting on it. It samples some old song that I can't quite put my finger on, and there's spoken word portions of the song that are reminiscent of Madonna's Vogue. All in all, it's definitely worth a listen. However, Bad Romance and Alejandro - both previous leaks from her upcoming album The Fame Monster - are FARRRR better than this track.

Check it out on Youtube HERE.

Dragonette - Easy (Remix)



So if you've been reading my blog, you'll already know that I'm a Dragonette fan. Their music is simply pure, delicious electro pop.

Their song Easy, from their new album Fixin' to Thrill is easily (har har) one of my favorite songs on the album, and to my excitement, I found a great remix of it. It's a bit more electro and fun! Check it out HERE (you can also right click the link and choose save as to download the track).

To hear the original, check it on Youtube, HERE!

Aqua, Rihanna, and...Nick Carter?!?! Oh My!



Hey guys, I've just got a few new tracks for you to check out.

Aqua's song My Mamma Said was apparently on their greatest hits album that was released this year. It was an additional track, and they've just released a music video for it, and it's a great song. It's slower, and a little darker - much different from what we're used to with Aqua. Check it out HERE.

P.S. I also have some AMAZING news about Aqua. Aqua die hards everywhere out there can finally breathe a long awaited sigh of relief - they will be releasing an entirely new album next year!!! Thank freaking God! I've been waiting for this news FOREVER.

A Rihanna song has surfaced on the net, and it's apparently going to be her second single from her upcoming album. The song is called Hard, and I actually really like it. I'm definitely not feeling her current song, Russian Roulette, so I was very pleased to hear this new track.

And lastly, I posted this song last week or so, but it was only a minute and a half clip, as the whole song hadn't been leaked yet. Fortunately, though, the song has made its way to the internet, along with the music video! Check out Nick Carter & Jennifer Paige's Beautiful Lie - I love this song!

Keri Hilson - I Like



Random new track from Keri Hilson called I Like. And, surprise surprise, I like. It's catchy, smooth, and very mainstream - like most of her music.

Check it out below.


Paranormal Whhhhat?



What's all this buzz about Paranormal Activity? Is it actually that good? I have a feeling it's just another one of those Blair Witch type movies that gets all hyped up and turns out to be a major let down.

So - should I check it out?



Should I see Paranormal Activity?

Cheryl Cole Album Favorites!



Okay, so I just have a few last words about Cheryl Cole's album. I was able to find the whole thing online, and listened to each track, and am mostly dissappointed. However, I did find a few tracks that I enjoyed, and you can check them out below.

Parachute is a mid-tempo track, a little repetitive, but catchy.



Heartbreaker, apparently her new single, is actually pretty good. You can find Will.I.Am on this track. Also a mid-tempo song.



And lastly, this song isn't actually on the album, as it was a demo for Cheryl Cole
(not actually sung by her) but it seriously should have been on there. It's sooooo good and it took me a good half hour to find this track to download off the internet! Listen to Puzzle below.


Cheryl Cole - Stand Up



As some of you may already know, Cheryl Cole - a member from the UK girl group Girls Aloud - has ventured out on her own and is attempting to create a successful solo career. So far, I'm not over the moon with what I've heard, however, I'm finding she's another one of those artists who consistently release songs that are growers (aka. songs that you hate at first and come to love).

Exhibit A for me was her first single, Fight for This Love. I thought it was a total bomb the first time I heard it, but after a few more listens, I became hooked!

Now has come time for Exhibit B. The song is called Stand Up, and I honestly HATED this song the first time I listened to it. But trust me, give it a chance, it's actually very catchy. Maybe listen to it a bit louder, when you're in a good mood, maybe heading out to the club or something. Enjoy!

[Unfortunately I couldn't find a YouTube video for this song, but go to THIS LINK to both listen to the song and download it!]

Oh! and one last thing - that Rihanna song is growing on me as well. I know, this is ridiculous!!

Mya - Everything or Nothing



I thought I'd share with you guys one of my favorite songs. A few years back I purchased the video game 007 Everything or Nothing, which suprisingly, had a star studded cast. Mya, Charlize Theron, and Shannon Elizabeth were the sexy ladies in this James Bond venture.

Anyways, the theme song for the game was done by Mya, titled Everything or Nothing. The song is so hot! I can guarantee I was probably the only boy who played that game and thought to download the theme song because Mya sang it. Haha. Oh well.....Enjoy!
