Top 40, Sun, and Softball

Nothing deeply philosophical or mind bending from my mouth tonight...all I want to write about right now is...my bad taste in music week. The top 40 bug invaded my body early on in the week. Maybe it's because I have been in a particularly good mood as of late, maybe it is because the sun brings out all of those needs to roll down the windows and blast music. Anyway, I actually bought No Air by Jordin Sparks and Chris Brown, Bleeding Love by Leona Lewis, and Sexy Love by Ne-Yo. And now, I feel a little like I should roll the windows up when I am blasting these songs.

On a genuinely good song note...Hollow Man by REM and Come On Get Higher by Matt Nathanson made the list too.

Alright, so back to the top 40. Maybe I shouldn't be so hard on myself. I guess it is completely acceptable to buy this stuff every once in a while...I mean, maybe some of these songs actually become hits for a reason, right? Honestly, I really like Sexy Love. Every time I've heard it in the past two years, I stand up and start shaking my booty. It's a cute sexy song, and it reminds me of when Michael Jackson was actually talented/cute/not made of plastic. Overall, I am not anti-radio...I just think they should diversify their playlists and create a broader base of acceptable radio tunes. We are missing out on a lot of good music because few channels will adventure out and play it.

On shaking my booty, since returning from Vegas, anytime I have heard a hip hop song, I want to get up and dance. So, send me suggestions for some good hip hop, because I'm not feeling my gym right now and would much rather be dancing around my house to music at this point. And, they dug up and blocked off the track and field at the highschool by my house, so I can't even run bleachers anymore. That's a great workout...hurry and finish the project guys.

Otherwise, congrats to my sister Lauren for getting two huge awards in her softball conference and to her softball team for taking 2nd place in their final tournament over the weekend. I got a few lovely shades of red (and some cancerous tan) from it, but also had a great time watching with the people who are important in my life.

Song of the moment...Did You Ever Look So Nice by The Samples. It is a great summer song and reminds me of driving down the canyon in Park City, Utah on a sunny afternoon...with the windows down of course.

Night.
