november playlist

november 2009


another month, another playlist! i love putting these together. so what's on the bill for november?

got 3 lady gaga tunes - her newest single bad romance (have ya seen the vid? craziness.) along with 2 acoustic bits. i was going through my dvr over the weekend and watched the snl episode with hottie boy ryan reynolds hosting and lady gaga performing. OMG she had this amazing set on the piano and i just had to go find more like it. PS is it still called an acoustic number if it's a piano solo? for some reason that sounds odd to me because i only associate acoustic with guitar. whatevs, random thought.

of course i had to include some teeny bopper faves - justin bieber and taylor swift. i'm mildly obsessed with white horse by tay-swift. beautiful song. this gal keeps surprising me with her range of songs. then there's justin bieber, who is what, 14 or something. he is so our new jesse mccartney (with a dash of ryan sheckler) and i love it! some great pop tunes coming from this kid.

russian roulette - gotta show rihanna some love. sucks that i keep thinking of audrina and justin bobby whenever i hear this song because the producers used this at the end of a hills episode, after yet another falling out between the two sorta love birds. ugh, enough of their storyline already!

manhattan by mozella - had to include this after i heard it on the city last week.

i kissed a girl, from katy perry's unplugged album. love how she re-worked this song.

whatever you like - anya marina. i already talked about this song and its utter brilliance in a previous post, so no need to go on further

mariah's cover of i wanna know what love is. just because it's mariah and you can never go wrong with her covering an oldie slow jam!

the trey songz and david guetta tracks are pure guilty pleasures, even more so than the teeny bopper songs! the trey songz one is so bad but you just can't deny how smooth his voice sounds over the hook. "girl when i get you to the crib, upstairs to the bed, girl you gon' think......." i wish ray j did the song just so i would NOT like it, because ray j's voice ain't nothing compare to trey songz.

then there's david guetta tryin to describe this girl without being disrespectful, but calls her a sexy bitch anyway. i shouldn't like this but i do! it's got that slight electro influence mixed with that club beat. so good!

the last few tracks are some staples that are usually on constant rotation on my itunes, imeem, etc - amanda blank, santigold, and the gossip. listen to the gossip track and you'll see why i love this group so much. heavy cross embodies why beth ditto and this group are so effing amazing.

OMFG of the day, part 2

Whatever You Like (Single Version) - Anya Marina


i don't know who this anya marina chick is but she just caught my attention and won me over with her cover of TI's "whatever you like." omfg i can't even begin to describe just how brilliant this is!!!

i'm kinda obsessed with TI and this is by far one of my favorite tracks of his. and of all people covering this, it's this chick who totally rearranged the song into a more acoustic, folksy, CW-friendly format. and she kept all the original lyrics!

props to gossip girl's music producers on finding this gem. wow. blown away.

OMFG of the day

omfg james franco is going to be on general hospital?!?!!!!

i....i......i have no words for this for i am far too excited!

yall, general hospital is my all time favorite soap ever! luke and laura. the karen-jagger-brenda love triangle. frisco and felicia. the crazy quartermaines. stone and robin. robin and jason. omg i could go on forever! the peak of my obsession was during junior high and high school, especially during the summer months. i have no idea what the crazy plotlines are like these days but i'm sure, as with all soaps, all it takes is a week and you're just about up to speed because you realize most of the storylines from like 5 years ago never wrapped up anyway!

so who is james franco going to play? i don't even know what families are still living in port charles and who he could possibly be tied to. but if his wardrobe in the above pic is any indication of things to come, he's probably gonna be tied to sonny corinthos in some way. and i LOVE it!

november 20 is the big debut. i am setting my DVR right now!

port charles, i'm back!

p.s. thank you fug girls for this most awesomest tip ever!

p.p.s. i just went onto abc's GH site and discovered that jonathan jackson, the ORIGINAL lucky specer (!!!!!) is back on the show too?!! OMG this just keeps getting better and better!

the return of unplugged

props to mtv on two stellar selections for their mtv unplugged series -

Katy Perry - MTV Shows

katy perry unplugged.
this is going to be AMAZING.
the cd is set to be released on nov 17 (mark your calendars!), but mtv hasn't announced yet whether they'll be airing her actual unplugged show. why they wouldn't is just beyond me.

Paramore - New Music - More Music Videos

just as amazing - paramore unplugged
see their set on mtv.com
i freakin LOVE hayley's vocals. sounds even better with her band backing her on acoustic instruments like this.
