Lovely Late Night ZZzzz Song: Perfume Genius – Dreem
I just came home and had a super long day. I’m completely strung out and then this song came on my shuffle. Loving it! Perfume Genius – Dreem:

Do you dig indie music? Then you should definitely check out this website: I found this site when looking for the latest BIRP playlist. This playlist is posted once a month and lists 100+ brand new songs by mostly indie bands. I have been downloading the playlists for some time now. The oldest one dating…

Song Challenge 17 – A song that you hear often on the radio
I don’t listen to the radio. Ever. I quit listening to the radio some years ago. The only time I listen to the radio is when the Radio Top 2000 is on. Since that’s about one week (not even) a year that I’m listening to the radio, I cannot really make a valid post regarding…

10 Favorite Summer Songs
With the weather slowly heating up to subtropical temperatures, I figured it would be time to share with you my 10 favorite summer songs. Here are some songs, most fairly new, that will be spicing up my summer. What are yours? (in no particular order) 01. Saxon Shore – Sustained Combustion 02. Toro Y Moi…

Song Challenge 16 – A song that you used to love but now hate
Hm it probably would have been better to have put BSB’s I Want It That Way on this day, rather than earlier in the challenge. Oh well… There’s plenty of music to get by and there are plenty of songs I used to love, but now can’t bare to listen to any longer. I already…

Song Challenge 15 – A song that describes you
Again a difficult one. Probably because I can’t think of a song that describes all of me in one go. I guess I don’t listen to music to find myself or whatever deep stuff you could come up with. I guess it’s pretty safe to say though that I’m a pretty independent chick. So a…

Song Challenge 14 – A song that no one would expect you to love
I think this is the type of music you would least expect me to listen to: metal. I actually only like ONE metal song. It’s just not a style of music I ever got into. My brother listened to tons though: Slayer, Cannibal Corpse, etc. He used to play me songs he liked and played…

Song Challenge 13 – A song that is a guilty pleasure
I think any sappy love song could be a potential guilty pleasure and I happen to love sappy songs. The mushier the better! And the kings of the perfect sappy love songs are of course Boyz II Men! Here they are with On Bended Knee (my fave song by them!)

Song Challenge 12 – A song from a band you hate
I can’t really think of a band I hate. It’s usually music styles I don’t like and when I don’t like something I simply don’t listen to it. That made picking a song quite a feat. However, I manage to find something. Rather than ‘hate’ I would like to introduce you to a band of…

Song Challenge 11 – A song from your favorite band
Back when I was an avid Backstreet Boys fan this song would have been so easy to answer. Right now, picking a favorite band is something that is so difficult. Let alone picking a song from that band. It changes weekly. Therefore I will post songs from multiple bands that I’m digging right now or…

Song Challenge 10 – A Song That Makes You Fall Asleep
I don’t know whether I should take this title in a positive or negative way. I’m taking it positively. Some songs just make you relax and make it easier for you to fall asleep. I have several songs that do that for me. In fact, I have a playlist titled relax which does just that.…

Song Challenge 09 – A Song You Can Dance To
I’ve been taking dance classes since I was 6 years old and was dancing way before that, so again there are simply too many songs to choose from. If I have to list artists whose songs I like dancing to I would even have to write a post longer than the Bayeux Tapestry. Not gonna…

Song Challenge 08 – A Song You Know All the Words To
I sing. Sometimes. Under the shower, in my room, when I’m in a good mood, or just whenever I feel like it. I even took some singing classes a few years ago. I am by no means a great singer, but I can sing a tune or two. Therefore I’m giving this post a bit…

Song Challenge 07 – A Song That Reminds You of a Certain Event
Pff this is a hard one! Really had to think about this one. I eventually went with the song me and best friend loved the most when we were still going clubbing regularly. As soon as this song played we’d be all over the dance floor. If we had a song, then it would be…

Song Challenge 06 – A Song that Reminds You of Somewhere
This one was easy! When I was living in the US as an exchange student, the one song I heard the most must have been Kelly Clarkson’s Breakaway. And every time I hear the song now it reminds me of the 4,5 months I spent at the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg Virginia…

Song Challenge 05 – A Song that Reminds You of Someone
This song will remember me of my mom for the rest of my life. She played me this when I was little and sang it to me before bed time. I even had some scarlet ribbons for MY hair. Heartbreaking, yet pretty song by Sinead O’Connor (my mom’s favorite artist together with Michael Jackson lol).

Song Challenge 04 – A Song that Makes You Sad
There is only one song that never fails to get me teared up and actually made me cry: Christina Aguilera’s Hurt. I have a hard time listening to this every single time and when I went to see Christina Aguilera in concert in 2006, I burst into tears. I don’t even know why and it…

From sunny day to lazy Sunday mornings: it’s all represented in song on this amazingly simple website. This is how it works: you sign up, activate your account and go to the home page. Now…

Song Challenge 03 – A Song That Makes You Happy
This one was about as hard to pick as my least favorite song. I simply have too many songs that make me happy, because music makes me happy. Though, my ultimate this-song-makes-me-smile-and-I-can’t-get-that-grin-of-my-face song is Martin Solveig’s Hello. This song was terribly overplayed on Dutch radio, but luckily for me, I don’t do radio. This song…

Record Store Day
Today is Record Store Day! What?! Yes, Record Store Day. If this would be an official holiday it would most certainly be my favorite holiday of the year. Today is the day where we celebrate the existence of independent record stores that go beyond the main stream. Think: indie bands, lots of vinyl and instore…

Song Challenge 02 – Your Least Favorite Song
I had the hardest time coming up with a song I truly truly despise. My conclusion: if I hate a song, I don’t have it/ won’t listen to it/ avoid it and therefore forget all about its existence. That is why I went with a song that I absolutely detest, not because I hated it…

Song Challenge 01 – Your favorite song
I already posted about my favorite song when I did the 30 Day Blog Challenge. I picked Mesh 29’s Over the Barricade. This is still my favorite song, but since I have tons of favorite songs it certainly doesn’t end there. It’s actually the reason why I decided to post songs of the day. When…

30 Day Song Challenge
After the 30 day Blog Challenge, it is now time for the 30 day SONG challenge. Only I’m not gonna post a song every day, but more like once a week. I still want to be able to blog about other things as well! I found this challenge on Facebook. Source: Weheartit.com Here are the…

I came across a Velvet Underground song today and thought it would be time for me to list my favorite songs from the decade when populAR music really got started. Here are my top 20 picks from the 60s. Image source: weheartit Beach Boys – God Only Knows Bob Dylan – Subterranean Homesick Blues Bob…

SOTD: Beige – In Kind
I tried installing a player so you could instantly play the amazing song below, but alas, I couldn’t find it quickly enough. So if you have any ideas on how to get an ACTUAL mp3 player to work on WordPress, feel free to help me out! Now on to the music: Beige – In Kind…
