Summer time!

Summer is finally here...well if you are in Chicago, we don't know for sure!  This is my favorite time of the year and one of the main reasons I stay in Chicago.  From festivals every weekend to alfresco dining to rooftops decks to pools to beach volleyball, Chicago I do love you!


Music is always right there next to me to further help me enjoy every experience.   From the slow jam to the disco party, here are some great tunes I'm enjoying this week.  Load up your I-pod!


MONDAY - "None of Dem" - Robyn feat. Royksopp - So with the release of Body Talk, Pt. 1 this week, it was EXTREMELY difficult to choose my favorite song for the week!  So this is my first choice.  Please pick up the album, it's truly amazing!




















TUESDAY - "Touch" - Natasha Bedingfield - This is the lead single of her new album due this summer.  Although her songs usually annoy me after a few listens, this one hasn't...yet!




















WEDNESDAY - "Amongst the Waves" - Pearl Jam - I know right, me and Pearl Jam.  Huh? Actually Eddie Vedder and I go way back...way back to the 90's.  My new friends I met on my trip to Mexico re-introduced me to the band.  This is off Backspacer album that came out last year, and I really dig it!




















THURSDAY - "Game Over" - V.V. Brown - This is the second appearance of VV on my blog.  Her album Traveling like the Light was released in February this year and it's really cool!  It's got a great retro vibe but still current!





















FRIDAY - "Compliments" - Band of Horses - If you haven't heard this band, you are missing out!  A great chill-out band for any summer party.  This is off their first single off their new album released May 18, 2010!  I want to see them on tour.   I bet they are amazing! When are they coming to Chicago?!?  I'll find out!





















SATURDAY - "American Slang" - Gaslight Anthem - This is the current single of the week on I-tunes, you can get it free there until Tuesday I believe.  If not, it's here on amazon.com.  Another rock steady band I'm really starting to get into!




















SUNDAY - "Dirty Picture" - Taio Cruz  feat. Ke$ha -  OK, I know I vowed to never put her on my blog but it's more for Taio! (although I'll admit, her part is kinda sexy!)  This is probably one of the cheesiest and stupidest songs I've put on my blog, but it's just damn catchy and the video is hot!  I'll probably hate it next week.:)






















Have a great week!  I hope everyone has realized they can not only purchase the song on amazon but also preview it too!

I'm baaack!

Hi fellow music lovas, I hope you missed me.  I apologize for not being your personal DJ lately.  I've been really busy with weddings, trips, birthdays and general craziness but I haven't forgot about you.  With summer right around the corner, I thought this would be a perfect time to bring you some great new summer anthems.

Also due to requests about finding the music, I decided it would probably be more efficient to provide you a direct link.  So you can purchase any of these MP3's directly from amazon.com.  I have come to realize amazon.com is great for everything especially MP3'S because they are often cheaper than I-tunes!

I'll try to come back often....because there are a lot of great albums coming out this summer!  Here are a few HOT new tracks!


MONDAY - "Push Push" - Kat DeLuna  - This first single off her upcoming album, this one will definitely get you moving all summer long.




















TUESDAY - "All the Lovers" - Kylie Minogue - If this is any preview of where the new album is going, it's going to be hot.  I honestly listened to this song 50 times in one week...slightly obsessed!  Look for Aphrodite in July!





















WEDNESDAY - "Dancing on my Own" - Robyn - A bit over zealous with three new albums?  Definitely not, if they sound like this!  Body Talk Pt. 1 releases June 15th!





















THURSDAY - "Commander" - Kelly Rowland ft. David Guetta - This seems to be an amazing partnership! Who can forget last summer's anthem "When Loves Takes Over"!?  Now they duo is back with another summer anthem!




















FRIDAY - "Pacific Coast Highway" - Hole - Love or hate her, Courtney love definitely has a point of view. This is the second single off Nobody's Daughter.  Catch her live in Chicago July 14th or 15th at The Vic.  I'll be there on the 15th to experience this trainwreck live!















SATURDAY - "Ridin' Solo" - Jason Derulo - I was a fan from the get-go when he sampled Imogen Heap's "Hide and Seek" and became and even bigger fan after the amazing "In my Head".  Now he has released a song countering "All the Single Ladies" with a song that I like to call "All the Single Fellas".  :) Enjoy















SUNDAY - "Fire with Fire" - Scissor Sisters - The triumphant return of the sisters with some new material is June 29, 2010 with their album Night Work.  And this lead single is amazing and available June 20!  I'm addicted!
