Sammy Adams

So recently ive been listening to this white rapper named Sammy Adams. Hes pretty good, but he's also really hot.
I found out about him because i went to a Hoodie Allen show last year and made a Pandora playlist and his songs came up. At first i didn't even listen, i just looked at his picture on the album cover but when i started to listen to his voice and the lyrics i fell even more in love. He;s really talented and the stuff he raps about is awesome. Some of the lyrics are saying how he doesn't need a college degree to be successful. IDK i think he's cool.
This is my fav song:

Ms Mr

My favorite song Hurricane sounds kind of 'vintage', like a mix of something old and then mix in some of the new alternative female singers. Its kind of like a mix of Lana Del Ray and Florence and the Machine in a good way. I really like the lyrics, she talks about how crazy her brain is and i relate. Big time.
Well, this is my favorite song Hurricane:

Phosphorescent

This is ANOTHER weird singer that I like. His voice isn't that good, but when it's combined with the music i think it sounds awesome. Now that i'm really focusing on his voice, it kind of sounds creepy and really alternative.
You might like him, i can't really decide. I think you'll either really like him, or really hate him.
Anywho, this is my favorite song of his
Wolves:

You Lie by The Band Perry

Ok, Ok i know i said i hate country but this is one of like the 3 i like (Your Man - Josh Turner, When i'm gone - Hunter Hayes). Her voice sounds amazing with the harmonies and im feelin the banjo. Im pretty sure you'll hate it.
OH, and i think the things he'll lie like are funny.
You Lie - The Band Perry:


Arctic Monkeys

So Adrien was listening to them a few years ago and I really liked them, but then i kind of forgot about them. When i was looking at the lineup for this weekend at ACL I saw their name was on it and looked them up again. I really like how rock and roll it is, it makes me want to 'break shit' as you would say.
The song Brainstorm really makes me want to.

Arcade Fire

So I had watched SNL earlier this week where Tina Fey was the host and Arcade Fire was the musical guest, then we watched that documentary and I noticed that they were in it as like some back up singers/the people screaming into the microphones. They were really weird on SNL because they had like all the skin around their eyes covered in black eye shadow, but their music was good.
Im really diggin their song Reflektor:

The Beatles

I was trying to not do a Beatles post because i know everyone else will be doing one but i guess its inevitable.
For the past few years I've been telling people I don't like the Beatles because they we're overrated but it was because i just wanted to be different because EVERYONE loves the Beatles. Now that we spent a while listening to their music and watching that documentary I am starting to realize just how talented they really were. They were also really funny, and kind of like normal teenage boys (in the early 60's).
Ok and i don't know if you've noticed but the faces Ringo makes when he's playing the drums is so funny. I don't even know how to describe it but it's like he's not focusing on anything with his eyes and just like shaking his head to the beat.
My favorite song is Eleanor Rigby:
