    Nick's Music Picks #2

    By Light,

    So, here I am again.
     
    Now, don't the rest of you worry, I'll get to your requests soon enough. But tonight, I thought I'd stick with something I know real well.
     
    Tonight's song is Hey Jude by none other than the Beatles. Paul McCartney's voice blends extremely well with this music, and it's just beautiful. Definitely go with the Beatles version though: without the others, it just doesn't seem right.
     
    This is Nick, signing off. Phone's about to die. I'll probably edit more in later, as i really didn't do this justice.

    Nick's Music Picks #1

    By Light,

    I'm Nick, by the way. Some of you may know that, others... Well, now you know. And knowing's ____ the ______. (fill in the blanks correctly and you get an imaginary cookie)
     
    Anyway. Songs on this list will be judged on lyrics, artist (like how well they fit the song) influence, how good they sound to me, and most importantly, how well they can be heard over my home insinkerator. I may not list all of these off, but meh.
     
    Note that I will not be bashing songs unless I drink an Amp (crazy things happen. Crazy things). So, no worries about me yelling about how not fantastic a song that you personally like is. To each his own.
     
    Now that the rules are set...
     
    My first is an awesome song, done by none other than the King himself, Burning Love. The live video for this has the record for the most viewed broadcast by a single entertainer. And I mean, come on. It's Elvis Aaron Presley. In his heyday. This song... Lyrics are pretty great, singer's awesome, sounds amazing to me. One problem.
     
    Can't be heard over an insinkerator full of sweet potatoes.
     
    Of course, nothing except death metal on highest volume can be, so meh.
     
    This is Nick, signing off. I may do more in depth things later, but it's late. Also, it's Burning Love. Listen to it.

    I hate the word loot.
     
    A full list of what I got:
    Nexus 5 as a combination birthday-Christmas. (Yes, my birthday is in July, no, this doesn't have sanity)
    Google Play gift cards.
    Packing peanuts. My cousin packed a gift card in peanuts.
     
    The pun war has begun.
     
    A ton of wrapping paper (my other cousin has way too much time on her hands and decided to wrap my gift card in like fifteen different layers, all different patterns).
     
    A hundred dollars worth of guitar lessons.
     
    A trip to Great Wolf.
     
    Clothes.
     
    Phone case.
     
    Doctor Who socks.
     
    And, finally, a harmonica. I don't know what seized my aunt to get me a harmonica of all things, but I like it.
     
    My family on the other hand...
     
    There's only so many times one can hear a horrendous first line of Let It Be without wanting to kill the harmonica player.

    By Light,

    So, an apology/explanation.
     
    I've gotten a new phone, as my old one's power button jammed. I still haven't ironed out all the wrinkles, so my music app... Well, let's just say it glitched the first time I checked a request. Tomorrow (or today. I hate being up after midnight) I'll have my laptop and I'll check out all those awesome requests. I'm also doing a double special tomorrow to make up for the day I missed, so yay.
     
    For tonight, we have Radioactive by Imagine Dragons. Rawrmouse suggested it to me twice, once to use as my Mass Effect TBRPG* theme song, and once after my brain dropped it from the list of songs for my blog. So, thanks to her.
     
    Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised by Radioactive. It's no secret (well, it may be, depending on how long you've known me) that I'm a classic rock/60s/70s/80s kinda guy. I don't mean that other music is bad, just that it doesn't do much for me. Anyway, I digress. This was an exception to that rule, and I thought it fit my RPG rather well. I can't really comment on how good the singer is, just that his voice fits well and the song sounds good. Definitely worth at least one listen.
     
    Also, I couldn't do this without you guys. Shoutout to Vorex for song #2 (sorry, forgot to say that yesterday). Keep the requests and comments coming.
     
     
    *coming to an OTC near you as soon as Spink and Makaru approve it. #shamelessad
