    Let it Rock: Same Thing, Different Album

    I often ignore live and “best of” albums. Even from artists I love. What’s the point, right? I have all their music already – how many different versions do I need? But this week I decided to live on the edge a little bit and listened to both a live album and a “best of” album. And ZOMG, I’m so happy I did!

  • Let It Rock: Music Makes Me Happy

    Let It Rock: Music Makes Me Happy

    All the artists this week make me happy. Even when the songs are sad, I’m happy. And I think that’s a sign of a truly great artist; they can sing about the saddest things in love and still put a smile on my face. And sometimes you just need music to comfort you and make you feel good. Like during midterms after spending 6 straight hours at the library and you’re only a third of the way through your reading.

  • Let It Rock: More Like, Let Me Down

    Let It Rock: More Like, Let Me Down

    Wow, this week was a bit of a bummer. So much anticipation and a whole lot of disappointment. You’re probably thinking I deserve it. After all, I got my hopes all up about Mariah Carey and Selena Gomez, so what did I really deserve, right?

  • Let It Rock: Flashback!

    Let It Rock: Flashback!

    I feel like I’m having a major flashback this week. Like Wayne and Garth are running by me in my bedroom waving their hands in the air screaming “Do do do do. Do do do do.” And then everything gets all jumbled and I’m ten years younger and wearing something completely ridiculous.

  • Let It Rock: Off Again, On Again

    Let It Rock: Off Again, On Again

    This has been a crazy week.

    Jay-Z came back! Scarlett Johansson came out with an album with Pete Yorn. (Hey, it’s gotta be better than The Hoff’s singing, right?) Oh, and Mason Jennings came out with something new..though everything he does is new to me.

  • Let It Rock: They’re Back!

    Let It Rock: They’re Back!

    None of the artists with new releases are new to me this week. I’ve loved them all in the past and now I’m coming back for more. Actually, they’re coming back to give me more and I’m taking it all with wide open arms. And I’m pretty psyched to hear some new stuff from some of my old favorites. It makes me feel at home and right where I belong. I’m so happy to have my old friends back again!

  • Let It Rock: I’ve Been Waiting For You

    Let It Rock: I’ve Been Waiting For You

    Sometimes I love a band so much, I just sit and wait for them to come out with something new. Well, I don’t literally sit and wait, but I do get really excited when I know a release date is near. And this week, my long and painful wait was over.

  • Let It Rock: Sometimes I Surprise Myself

    Let It Rock: Sometimes I Surprise Myself

    This week might be the most random mix of reviews ever. Seriously, ever. I even surprised myself a bit. I was ready to love who I already loved and hate who I wanted to hate, but that’s not at all what happened. The one album I was most excited for fell flat. And the one I barely even wanted to listen to, well, I kinda liked.

  • Let It Rock: Which Way Do You Love It?

    Let It Rock: Which Way Do You Love It?

    Chris Daughtry I love in a good-boy rocker kind of way. Jack White I love in a creepy weirdo fascination kind of way. And the 500 Days of Summer I love in a Zooey Deschanel kind of way. I love music in lots of different ways and this week is a prime example of how much my love can vary.

  • Let It Rock: Loving The Men

    Let It Rock: Loving The Men

    This week was all about men and, what can I say? I love me some men. With guitars. Who make good music. (That last one is key.) Yup, I had a big, beautiful music orgy this week and I just want more. Bring on the boys!
