NEW GREEN DAY!: green day - oh yeah!

VIDEO PREMIERE: miley cyrus - malibu

miley cyrus - malibu
the return of miley marks a more earthy musical direction kicking off with this raw sounding pop rock number which is actually quite good. allegedly about her relationship about her fiance liam, this is a nice kick off to her upcoming new album in july. i like!

NEW ONE DIRECTION!: one direction - perfect

one direction - perfect
as the countdown to the end of 1D continues, the four piece are slowly putting out soft rock pop anthems that will probably go down in time as timeless singalongs you'll hear on the radio (you scoff now, but this is how i feel). co-written by louis and harry, the video seems like a thrown together lo-fi shoot but is in fact done by big time director sophie muller (really soph? this is throwaway even for you). not the most exciting release, but it still gets me wistful for 1DDay...

POP MIX: the vamps feat demi lovato - somebody to you

the vamps feat demi lovato - somebody to you
rowdy singalong with stadium handclaps galore, if this doesn't help the vamps break the US, i don't know what will!

VIDEO PREMIERE: shakira - empire

shakira - empire
shakira's most alt-rock track to date, it's actually a joy to see the most liked artist on facebook (86 mil!) continually try new things to entertain both herself and her fans. great song.

WEEKEND MIX: the vamps - last night

the vamps - last night
after claiming two top 5 hits in the UK, the vamps will continue their streak with this singalong pop jam that you'll be humming along to for months to come. on the verge of releasing in the US, there seems to be a wealth of material to choose from to break this country.

NEW MIX: one direction - midnight memories

one direction - midnight memories
continuing their tradition of insta catchy stadium singalong tunes, the 1D boys offer up this pop rock number. if only they had a 'radio ga ga' like clap then they'd be set for life!

LAST BATCH MIX: the killers - just another girl

the killers - just another girl
say what you want about the killers, they sure know how to craft a catchy indie pop song! this time dianna agron takes on the guest role of lead singer.

NEW ONE REPUBLIC!: one republic - counting stars

one republic - counting stars
you can always count of lead singer ryan tedder for crafting instantly recognizable hooks and in this case a gospel clapping bridge that is bound to rouse fandom. this song has been out a few weeks and i'm only getting around to discovering and appreciating it (which is how i feel about most of their work).

VIDEO PREMIERE!: p!nk feat nate ruess - just give me a reason

p!nk feat nate ruess - just give me a reason

VIDEO PREMIERE!: mcfly - love is easy / tom mcfly's wedding speech

mcfly - love is easy
if i didn't already have an awwww video of the week in the form of taylor swift, this sweet little ditty from boy band mcfly would have easily made the cut. bringing a smile to your thursday, enjoy this lovely video made especially for the fans.

UPDATE: wanna see tom mcfly's wedding speech? it's got 9 million views and like everyone else, i couldn't stop tearing up!

WONGIE ROCK POP SONG OF THE WEEK: green day - oh love

green day - oh love
i love how the video has NOTHING to do with the song other than a director and band trying to book hot models to hang around all day. shame cause i actually like the song.

WONGIE POP ROCK SONG OF THE WEEK: fun. - some nights

fun. - some nights
[these guys may have recorded one of the best pop rock albums in awhile, with anthem after anthem off their amazing 'some nights' collection. of course you can complain that they are heavily influenced by the sounds of 80's rock bands, but you have to admit they sure do know how to write a tune! easily one my favorite tracks this summer, turn it up!]
