Stuck In My Skull 384 -- "The Messenger"

Song: "The Messenger" || Artist: Linkin || http://youtu.be/KDOkMSf-F14 ||

Comment: Hey guys, for some reason my computer is steadfastly refusing to load YouTube. If you want to check this song out, just look it up, and I'll get a link up when YouTube starts working again. Anyway, this song was stuck in my head for hours and hours yesterday. Usually there's one song in every Linkin Park song in each album that sounds different -- for example, there was an instrumental track in both Hybrid Theory and Meteora, and there was a track in 3/4 time in Minutes to Midnight. On Living Things, (usually stylized as LIVING THINGS,) the entire album is quite different, and I can't think of any particular song. On A Thousand Suns, the different song is "The Messenger." It's an acoustic song with a slow tempo, lyrics speaking directly to the audience, and a deeply emotional tone. I was joking yesterday that I had the only slow Linkin Park song with an acoustic guitar ever made stuck in my head, and I don't think I was that far off the mark. Enjoy the song!

Edit: Wifi issues resolved, enjoy the fan-made M/V.

Stuck In My Skull 342 -- "Eye Bear" [HIPSTER WEEK PART 5]

HIPSTER WEEK, PART 5 || Song: "Eye Bear" || Artist: Gingerbread Patriots || http://youtu.be/QcReWa6N9TM ||

Comments: Wow, sorry about that, folks. Suffice it to say I had a very crazy day. Bad blogger is bad, and didn't just write the post in advance. Oops...

Right. Song. This song is... a song. I'm finding it really difficult to describe Gingerbread Patriots' sound in this track. For some reason, the vocals remind me ever so slightly of Owl City. The song is both electronic and acoustic  and I don't begin to know how. I'm seriously at a complete loss for good words to describe this song, so I guess I'll just have to settle for "Go listen and judge for yourself!" While you're at it, give us some feedback -- what did you think of Hipster Week? Enjoy the weekend!

Stuck In My Skull 328-- "Die Young (Acoustic)"

Song: "Die Young (Acoustic)" || Artist: Ke$ha || http://youtu.be/oa4jGB-8si4 ||

Comments: Well, I didn't see this coming. While I've always had a certain amount of respect for Ke$ha, that level of respect just skyrocketed. This acoustic version of "Die Young" is pretty! I honestly haven't heard Ke$ha without the synthesizers and the drums and the autotune, and I have to admit, she sounds really pretty. I have to admit -- I saw this song on Buzzfeed.

 

And that brings me to a completely unrelated point. People almost never send me music any more! Just because my life has a soundtrack doesn't mean I don't need more songs. When I first started this blog, everyone was sending me songs. What happened? Guys, if you've got a song, let me hear it! Please? I love you and your music too much not to want to hear from you.
