Tune tag!

It's Tune Tag Time! Yes, another game of blog tag. I'm hoping through this that I will find some "new" music to add to my collection. I love music. Passionately. Music has the power to affect our very outlook on life. Which is why it's so important to listen to good, uplifting music. Though, it's also nice {when you are in a grumpy mood} to listen to a good screaming song that helps you let out your frustrations. :0)
The rules of this tag are simple...pick 5 songs from your Music Collection. Whether its' from your iTunes, CDs, online, whatever...the music you listen to. And then explain WHY. Why you love it. Post your picks and tag a few people of your own. Simple right?

Yael Naim, New Soul

Just found this song from the new MacAir Notebook commercial and can't get enough of it. I love songs like this that make you just want to sway back and forth feeling happy.

Josh Groban, February Song

Honestly, I could have put ANY of Josh Groban's songs on here. He has such an amazing voice. A truly talented man.

Hoobastank, Running Away

A little rock never hurt anybody. Hoobastank is one of those bands that I found several years back when I had a lot of frustration to vent.

Pat Benetar, Love Is A Battlefield

I love 80s music period. Such a good decade for music. And dear Pat had a lot of good ones.

Vivaldi, Four Seasons

I grew up playing the piano and listening to my mom playing the piano. Classical music, to me, is just beautiful....calming. I am amazed at what talent these composers have/had. I hate that a lot of people don't "get" classical music. It's not boring. One song can describe a beautiful summers day {like Vivaldi's Four Seasons} or can contain a range of emotions from happiness to sadness to anger to grief. Just beautiful.

Hopefully you have enjoyed my selections! And now it's time to play....

5. Cameron {gotta get a guy in here and he has quite the taste in music!}

Tag! You're it! So get going! I'm anxious to hear some good tunes!

It's A Record Breaker! Sorry Elvis!

That's right people...I told you it was a GOOD...no GREAT CD! Look what was just posted on Yahoo! News....

Holiday sales might be depressing, but it's no blue Christmas for Josh Groban. He just broke a chart record Elvis set back when Eisenhower was President.
Josh Groban's Noël claimed an unprecedented fourth straight week at number one, a feat never before accomplished by a holiday album. Elvis Presley set the previous record, three weeks, half a century ago with 1957's Elvis' Christmas Album.
For the week ended Sunday, Noël topped the chart and rewrote the record books by selling an incredible 669,000 copies, according to the latest Nielsen SoundScan numbers.
Groban, whose single "I'll Be Home for Christmas" topped the AC charts this week as well, has sold nearly 2.8 million copies of Noël in its 10-week run. That puts Noël in the lead as the year's bestselling album, and if the trend holds, it'll become the first holiday album to top year-end sales in the SoundScan era.

He just keeps getting better and better doesn't he? Love him.....he can serenade me any day. Watch out Jaysen!
