The Music Wave! **October Edition**

Okay, this is a new addition to my blog: hot music of the month as well as my favorites currently (and those favorites change a lot!!) I hope to know what music/movies/books you guys like, so that I could find things that may be you will also enjoy. So comment! Don't be a stranger!!

MUSIC:

Popular Songs of Today:  

1) Someone Like You - Adele
                                                   
2) Pumped Up Kicks - Foster the People
                                                  
3) We Found Love (feat. Calvin Harris) - Rihanna
                                                   
4) Stereo Hearts (feat. Adam Levine) - Gym Class Heroes
                                                   
5) Moves Like Jagger -Maroon 5 feat. Christina Aguilera

    These 5 are a good representation for popular songs. They're all different. Adele's voice is amazing, as always, while Pumped Up Kicks doesn't sound like your average song. I like most of these songs, with my two favorites being Someone Like You and Stereo Hearts.

What am I listening to lately:  

1) How to Love - Lil Wayne
                                                              
2) Not Afraid - Eminem
                                                              
3) Party Rock Anthem - LMFAO
                                                                
4) OneRepublic
                                                              
5) Avril Lavigne
                                                              
6) Christina Aguilera 

    This is a bit of a weirdly-thrown together list. I really listen to a lot of random things, but one of Lil' Wayne's popular new singles is How to Love. It isn't even really rap, and Lil' Wayne revealed so many different sides of him when singing it and performing it. Not Afraid is up there because Monday, October 17th, was Eminem's 39th Birthday! Woot! 
Basically, one of the traditions on his birthday is to watch Not Afraid on YouTube, trying to make it the #1 most played music video. It's a pretty awesome song. As for LMFAO, these guys are really going somewhere! I really got into Party Rock a month ago, and now I'm addicted. Their second single is so stupid, and that's why I love it. Who knows what it is? LOL.
    OneRepublic and Avril Lavigne are always my favorites. I listen to them constantly. Seriously, they are awesome. This is why there are up on the first Wave. OneRepublic has two great albums, and a popular song constantly playing on the radio: Good Life. Watch it. Listen to it. Whatever. Just have fun! Avril has 4 albums, her first one back from 2001. Some say her first album was her best, so be sure to listen to songs like Complicated and Sk8er Boi. Her new album has awesome songs, too.
    As for Christina, I had to research her for my Hispanic American project (YES, she counts!) so I listened to her songs, too. They are just wonderful and empowering. Hurt, Beautiful, The Voice Within....these all must be on your playlists!

Hope you enjoyed this month's Wave! Let me know if you have any suggestions!                                             

Sorry for My Disappearance!

Hey everyone! Sorry I haven't posted for nearly a month! Life just got hectic. Our applications for high school are due in December, so all I've been doing is applying for different places, visiting open houses, etc. It all really makes me nervous! On the other hand, once that is all over, the fun things should be beginning. This includes my Boston trip!! 3 days of hanging out with my best buddies, staying up mega-late playing games and pigging out, plus we learn things! This is definitely going to be the highlight of my year.

I still feel a bit hectic, though. So much work to do. There's homework and school, which is so yawnful (NEW WORD!) lately. I also have my singing projects to work on (**HINT HINT: My latest song is "Ten Minutes Ago" from the old Cinderella movie!), and my room could do with a bit of a clean. :P Where is the end to this madness?! I STILL NEED TO GET MY HALLOWEEN COSTUME AND THERE'S LESS THAN TWO WEEKS LEFT!!! Are you guys dressing up this year? What as? Where can you get more candy: stores or houses? Gosh, I WANT TO GO!
