The Wanted - Warzone

I've somehow managed to develop a minor (and by minor I mean very much major) obsession with this song. I don't know why but it's just beautiful! I especially love the dubstep elements giving it a brilliant modern edge.

50 DSC: #31 A Song That Signals Christmas Is Nigh

Wow, have I really not done a 50 Day Song Challenge since July?! Well, I'm going to have to fix that...
Is it wrong to have had this song in my head all day? Probably. However, for once I'm going to embrace Christmas early and see if it is as excruciating as I always imagined it to be. I'm not usually one to start listening to Christmas songs in November or anything like that as I generally thought I'd be sick of them by Christmas itself if I did! 
So this year is an experiment to see if that's the case...
Little Saint Nick - The Beach Boys
"Christmas comes this time each year..."!

October: Top 20 (Part 2)

Hello again, this is the second part of October's Top 20, where we've reached the Top 10. If you missed part 2 you can see it here.
There are quite a few collaborations this month and lots of brand new tunes to feast your ears upon. Enjoy!


10. LMFAO - Sexy And I Know It
What can I say? Is this the most ridiculously inappropriate and yet hilarious song/video of the year? Almost certainly. LMFAO prove they're far from one hit wonders!
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, yeah
