Music : 07082012

So here's some music to get you geared up for the hot weather (although i'm aware it's already July and really freakin toasty)

1) The Gambler - fun. 

Saw these guys fo free at Wicker Park fest a couple of years ago for the birthday (yes this is my i-knew-them-before-you-did post, what of it). This is probably one of the sweetest songs i've ever heard. It just makes you happy and makes you think and tells a story, i like that.
And even though she moved away, we always get calls from our daughter
She has has eyes just like her father, they are blue when skies are grey

2) Small Moments Like These - Above & Beyond

  This video is what really makes this so special. I really want to see A&B live and this is why. The video along with the music shows the beautiful side of EDM and the beautiful faces of all the people in the crowds. It shows people crying and I know I'd be right there with them if I ever saw You Got To Go live. You can't help but smile after watching this and hearing the clip of Sun and Moon being sung at the top of the lungs of thousands of happy people.

3) Believe - Justin Bieber

#SorryNotSorry for being a belieber. It's a nice power ballad, inspirational and all, not exactly a summer dance jam but Pitbull's got that (unfortunately) taken care of for the next several years. This is just a nice song that is uplifting and I think it's a nice thank you to his fans.
Cause everything starts from something, but something would be nothing
Nothing if your heart didn't dream with me
Where would I be, if you didn't believe?

4) Language - Porter Robinson

A really nice electronic piece with some progressive house, some techno, and a whole lot to dance to. It reminds me of a cliched summer night and it's a peaceful sort of song, it inspires me somehow to just do whatever and I can't wait to see this live at Lollapalooza!

5) How We Do (Party & Bullshit) - Rita Ora

Ok so not only is Rita Ora gorgeous, has an awesome accent and has amazing style, this song is also a great party song (well, obviously). It's a carefree summer party song, a classic. Alcohol, partying, and nighttime shenanigans on the avenue... sounds like a good time to me! Not the most intellectual lyrics but why would you want that for a summer party song. The one thing that I love most about this song: It hasn't been ruined by Pitbull.
I wanna party & bullshit with you
