January Playlist

Hi Hello

Whoa....a playlist on the main page? Whaaaaa??? Well I've decided to start posting them on the main page and then just putting the link to them on the playlist page for people to go back to them easily. So, just like the past few months, lets just get into the top songs I've been listening to in the month of January.

I've been listening to the radio a lot this month and one station that I've been addicted to is 102.1 fm which plays more rock, alternative, and all the other subcategories of rock and alternative music in the world. There have been 5 songs that I've really enjoyed listening to and got me singing along to in the car.

The first being Dangerous by Big Data. This song features Joywave and the moment I heard this song I was hooked. I heard it on the radio and I had to Shazam it because I needed to know who sang it and what it called. I then later went home and watched the music video like 10 times. Its a great song with a electro/alternative type sound to it. Theres not much that I can say about this song because its one of those that you just need to listen to in order to get the true vibe of the song.

Budapest by George Ezra is a song that I've always liked since I first heard it but this month I got really into it. I heard it on the radio a few times on my drive to work and I was like "oh I like this song..lalala" and then after the third day of hearing it I started says "oh I LOVE this song..LALALA" Its such a fun song to sing when you're driving. The melody is catchy and you'll definitely be singing it in your head for a while afterwards. I find it to be a great lazy day drive type of song as well as a nice laundry song. I was doing laundry today and I was singing this song while sorting. Very lovely. Also, side note, I had never seen what George Ezra looked like until a few days ago when I looked up the music video to this song and I was like whoa...he looked nothing like I imagined. With his deep voice I expected him to be a big guy with like a beard and man bun..but nope.

This next song is one that my friend Shawn introduced me to. Its Top of the World by Greek Fire. This is a song that is very much my "personal style" of music. It falls under one of my favorite genres, indie pop, and its one of those songs that just gets you in the mood. Not a sexual mood...they're not Marvin Gaye, but the "I am going to make the best of this day" type of mood. I love it and I really like to listen to it while I get ready in the morning because its one of those motivator songs. I love it and there really is no other explanation.

Fourth on my list is Long Way Down by Robert DeLong. This song was what I like to call a "grower". Meaning I hated this song when I first heard it. Honestly, I would turn it off whenever it came on the radio and then one day it was the only song playing on the radio because all the other stations were in sync and playing commercials at that time. So I said...well, to the hell of it, I'll just listen to it. Turns out....I ended up loving this song and I bought it right away so I could listen to it at work on my iPod.

The last song that I got for you today is Cigarette Daydreams by Cage the Elephant. I used to be really into Cage the Elephant a few years ago but then I just stopped listening to them for a long while. But when I heard this song on the radio and liked it I Shazamed it to see who it was by and was pleasantly surprised when I saw that it was Cage the Elephant. Because of this song I've gotten back into the band and I also really enjoy their song Come A Little Closer but I haven't been listening to that one as much as the other songs listed here.

Well folks, that is it. Those are my 5 top songs of January and, like always, they are all featured on my Spotify Playlist along with all the other songs from past month's playlists. I hope that you enjoyed this set and will listen to the songs.

If you like any of them, or liked them prior to me posting this, leave a comment below. If you have any songs that you want me to listen to for the month of February please let me know in the comments as well!

Have a nice weekend. Smile. :)

Until next time my misfits,
