So since Tessa took Hoodie last week, this week is my week. This isn't off of his new EP but a good song none the less. I originally got hooked on this song because of the chorus/hook, the chorus/hook is a situation that I feel very related to because of my freshman year of college up until this past September. I've never really felt connected to a "hip hop" song before so, I must say I was very impressed with this one. Chorus/Hook: Give me some bad advice

/I hate when you ask me over /You drunk off a glass of wine/ No wonder I'm acting sober/ So cut me out of your life And leave me like class is over/ But when the day goes, and the night comes / I'll still be your Casanova.

B.E.A.T. - Selena Gomez
     I have zero self control and no shame: I LOVE SELENA GOMEZ. The girl's got talent, and let's be honest besides dating Justin, she is all around on point. Selena Gomez's new album has been making a heavy rotation on my playlist lately. And by heavy rotation I mean I've been listening to the whole album through at least once a day. It was hard to even choose one song because I really just wanted to pick the whole album. But alas, that's not an option, though I highly suggest you still check it out. This was a later discovery of mine as far as the album goes, but it's too catchy not to share. And I'm always talking about the beats of songs, so why not just chose one that gets straight to the point?

Everything Has Changed-Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran
     Okay. Part of me doesn't even want to talk about this just because I thought this would never happen. My work plays just preset radio stations and this song has been played regularly to say the least and got stuck in my head. I will have to say that my prejudice against TSwift has subsided majorly. I still dislike that she slut shames in a lot of her songs but I feel like Red kind of got away from that moreso than her older albums. Anyway! I could spend forever talking about that. I just watched the music video for this and hate to admit how absolutely adorable it is. You might cry. I didn't, but still, cute factor is at a 10/10.

Love Like a Sunset Part II - Phoenix
     I know this song is a bit older, but I discovered it while listening to some of my favorite Phoenix songs. Phoenix in general is just awesome so of course I love even more of their songs. If you've never heard of Phoenix, they have a really different sound and I completely recommend them! This is one of my favorite albums of all time. Their new album isn't as good in my opinion, but that may just be because I haven't listened to it as much and am highly prejudiced because this one is just too good.

White - OFWGKTA (Frank Ocean)
     So I think it's fairly clear how we feel about Odd Future here, but in case it wasn't - they're A+. This track especially has been something I've turned to lately (along with copious amounts of One Direction). Frank's voice is kickass, so if you haven't checked out his solo album you're losing at life. Lo siento. Anyhow, this is a little different than the rest of the mixtape yet I love it all the same. Go check it out, it will be 2 minutes of your life well spent.

     Yet again, I find myself marveling at Canada this week. Firstly, for producing Ryan Gosling. Duh. Secondly (and slightly more relevant to this post) for putting out my recent obsession – electronic duo Purity Ring. I finally replaced the piece of shit tape converter in my car, and I’ve played essentially nothing else for two weeks. Cue me being a douchebag and turning it up way too loud in traffic. The lyrics read a little more than creepy at times, and Fineshrine is no exception. But hey, I appreciate that. We can’t all sing about dancing like we’re 22. Besides, who doesn’t want someone to build a metaphorical shrine of love for them? I’m down. They’ve even covered Soulja Boy, so this lady and gentleman tick all the boxes for me. Really, what I’m trying to say is, check out deez beatz!

Fame Is For Assholes [F.I.F.A] - Hoodie Allen feat. Chiddy Bang

This week I have found myself listening to nothing but Hoodie Allen, Kendrick Lamar and A$AP Rocky. So one of them had to be chosen for this weeks on repeat but I found myself hitting play on Hoodie Allen's Crew Cuts just a little bit more than the others. His music is fantastic, and he isn't bad eye candy either [think Sam Adams, but better music]. I chose FIFA because it's probably one of his more well-known songs off the mix tape, and I also love me some Chiddy. Plus, how could you not love this song? But in all honesty there's not a bad song on this mix tape, or on any of his albums. So if you haven't checked him out before I highly suggest you do so... like now.

Never Heal Myself- Cults
To be quite honest, I haven't listened to much else from Cults. However, that hasn't stopped this song from being played nonstop this week. Located in a playlist I made on Spotify (ohhh, playlist, how creative), this song plays out angst as well as invoking some self confidence. In the same respect as Blood Orange's Dinner, this upbeat song catches you and tricks you into not feeling so bad about wanting a certain someone to die unhappy. Starting out a bit passive aggressively, the tune and especially the ending lyrics leave you crazy sassy for hours.

Totally Fucked - Spring Awakening
So, this is a bit of a change from my past two on repeats. I've told you about Marina and Best Coast. This time I am going to tell you about more of my love for broadway. One of my favorite shows is Spring Awakening (any gleeks would be happy to know this is where Lea Michele really got her name). It's sort of an "edgier" musical. Yet, one of my favorite songs from it is "Totally Fucked". It's a song that is super easy to listen to if you're feeling, well, Fucked. One of my favorite lines from it is"There's a moment you know You're fucked Not an inch more room To self destruct" I think we all can understand that feeling.

Crown on the Ground - Sleigh Bells
So I first heard this song on the trailer for The Bling Ring, a film coming out directed by Sofia Coppola which I could NOT be more excited for. This song is so catchy I can't even handle it. To most people it may just sound like noise but I think it's sassy and makes me want to come home and hang out with my Broke Girls and do crazy college things. Check it out, you'll understand what I mean!
