I have been informed that, at the time of this writing, it is about 95 degrees outside. I would not know, since I have chosen some new music for you to download, in the comfort of my air conditioned home.
Pop
Coldplay - "Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall"
I could be wrong, but this may be the first time Coldplay will be bumping in the club. Never in my life would I hear Chris Martin's voice as I Moonwalk on the dance floor.
Big Sean - "My Last" (ft. Chris Brown)
Chris Brown is "gonna hit this drink up like...", well, make your own joke here. It's too easy for me.
Porcelain Black - "This is What Rock n' Roll Looks Like" (ft. Lil' Wayne) (NSFW)
This song wins the award for "Most Misleading Song Title", because this isn't what rock n' roll looks or sounds like. Unless, of course, I'm old fashioned, which may or may not be the case.
Country
Scotty McCreery - "I Love You This Big"
I haven't watched American Idol since Brian Dunkleman was on, so I admittedly do not know much about Scotty McCreery. However, how does that voice come out of this 17-year-old kid??
Kellie Pickler - "Tough"
Here's another American Idol contestant gone bigtime. This song is catchy enough for the mainstream, but country enough for the genre.
JT Hodges - "Hunt You Down"
JT Hodges is a rising star in the country world. Probably more folksy than country, but nonetheless some good toe-tapping music.
Rock
Sick Puppies - "Riptide"
Another single off their album, Tri-Polar, the beginning sounds A LOT like Green Day's "Brain Stew". But I could be just nitpicking here...
Limp Bizkit - "Shotgun" (NSFW)
Many bands change their style over the years, but not Limp Bizkit. "Shotgun" sounds like it could have been released during the Clinton administration.
Blue October - "The Chills"
After touring the country with an acoustic set, Blue October is back with a full-length album entitled Any Man in America. They are definitely capitalizing on this recent revival of alternative rock.
