M*A*S*H*ups!!!!

Today's theme is MASHUPS!!!!!   Who doesn't love a good mashup?  If you suffer from MUSIC A.D.H.D like myself, you will LOVE this playlist.  It's like all of these popular songs got a clue and added a "dubby" electro back beat which instantly makes the song cooler.  Just like Instagram can make you an instant hipster.  Snap mirror pic, add filter, blur out the bathroom stalls that are behind you VOILA instant edge factor.  (See Below pic taken at King Soopers.  I bet you would have never guessed hipsters hang out at grocery stores.)

These songs are all downloadable for FREE.99 on www.SoundCloud.com.  Your Welcome :)



Faxing Berlin vs. Shelter by Marko Cindric 

Big Shout Out to Chip Ivory (https://soundcloud.com/chipivory).  Every mashup is GOLD!

Harry Potter + Music=WIZARD PLAYLIST!!!!!!!!


My Harry Potter obsession mated with my musical inclinations and had a WIZARD baby!!!!  I know some of you(the non-muggles) are thinking: if a wizard and a muggle had a baby it would be a mudblood.  Well shame on you, mudblood is a very mean name. This is a magical playlist that will make you wish you were a student at Hogwarts.  If you don't like this playlist, you are a DEATH EATER!



Whether you are riding on your broom, flying car, or simply transporting yourself via toilet into the Ministry of Magic, ENJOY!

Music is My Chill Pill

Alright, I have a migraine problem that's induced by stress....YIKES... I have baggage whatever, get over it.  When I drive in traffic and have a job interview(that I was running late to) I start to stress.  Besides my amazing co-pilate Alexander McQueen(castormcqueen37.blogspot.com), I like to jam out and sing at the top of my lungs to keep calm.  I should just learn to apparate or use my floo powder.  Problem is all the new homes these days only have electric fireplaces.  (Sorry, off topic)  If you guys see me driving around Denver karaoke-ing DON'T JUDGE.  JOIN ME!!!!  Here are some good sing along songs.






PS:  If you know of anyone in the market to hire 2 young, hard working professionals in the Marketing/Sales/Business fields, LET ME KNOW.  :)

Dear Diary, Mood Apathetic...

To Angsty Boy!

You, sir, are so trendy.

Rude, disrespectful and never text me.
With your curly hair and flanneled shirt,
You rock out to every Dashboard Confessional concert.

Your texts make zero sense,

And your presence is a nuisance.
Why, sir, are your jeans so tight?
It's so disturbing I don't sleep at night.

If you reminded me of any band it would be The Used.

Because your style is a copy, you should be accused.
I hope this poem touches your angsty heart,
Because you need a little of that you fruit tart.

Just a silly poem I wrote about the trendy trendsters.  Not that I don't appreciate those skinny jeans and flanneled shirts....


Here's the playlist to match:





PLUS: I'd like to think SLYTHERINS listen to these kind of tunes.

This is for you CRAB, GOYLE and DRACO.


CHEERS!

The Deathly Hallows Playlist

Alright, I'm not going to promise this is the last Harry Potter post, but here goes some Hogwarts....STUFF!   Each song is paired to one of the Deathly Hallows.  Just like it was written in The Beetle and The Bard, the Deathly Hallows consists of.....THE ELDER WAND, THE CLOAK OF INVISIBILITY and THE RESURRECTION STONE.   If one wizard were to possess all three they would be unstoppable (AVADA KADAVRA!), much like you with this playlist... Get excited your mind's about to get lifted like Wingardium Leviosa!!!!!


The Invisibility Cloak:  Fade to White by Blackbird Blackbird

AND non-Deathly Hallows Songs to keep you at bay before you stop reading my blog because of my NERDINESS:




Dumbledore's Army endorses this mix.  Ask Harry.


Hermoine was skeptical but honestly when isn't she....


As always enjoy(but not with too many Butterbeers) & stay tuned.

Ravenclaw Playlist

If this playlist had to face the Sorting Hat, it would be put into Ravenclaw.  WHY you ask?  Well I think they are more hipster.  The slightly more EMOtional students are from Ravenclaw.  BUT I bet their common room is ALWAYS a bumpin' party, rave, what have you...

SIDE NOTE:  Speaking of Harry Potter(honestly when am I not),I took an Epsom salt bath today and it sucked the life out of me....kinda like a dementor, but Castor McQueen saved me with his Patronus which I think would be an owl.  Go read his Quibbler, I mean blog: http://castormcqueen.tumblr.com

Which house would you be in?

Great Mood+Great Music=Cloud 9

Being an adult is CRAZY.  If you are in school....STAY THERE.  The real world is quite intimidating.  We all know that I would like to go to Hogwarts be a Gryfindor and be a seeker on the Quiditch team.  Since I never received my acceptance letter, I'm finally moving on and looking for a MUGGLE job.  Waah Waah.   

Today proved hopeful for this Harry Potter fanatic.  I went in and applied for a Marketing job at a very chic DT Denver office. Everyone seemed welcoming and nice.  Fingers crossed that I'll get a call back.  This new development not only eased my mind about the whole not getting into Hogwarts thing, BUT it also lifted my spirits that I will become a successful marketer in the Muggle world.


Enjoy my happy playlist and I hope it makes you as excited as Hermoine reading her spell books.




Over and out.  Say NO to Voldemort.  (That's right I said it.)

Music is My Paradise

It's January in Denver and I was sun tanning outside.  HOLY GLOBAL WARMING PEOPLE!!!  Anyway...even if you are not having awesome weather, listen to music that makes you feel like you're on vacation.

Machu Picchu by The Strokes

Ain't It So by PAPA
Feel I Bring by Aer
I Am the Lion King by PAPA
Wonderin' Why by Aer

If these songs don't do the trick, boozy umbrella drinks will.  Here's my "skinny" lemon drop recipe.  


1-2 oz. Vodka

1 lime
1 lemon
1 Tbs. Splenda or Truvia
Water
Ice

Fill glass with ice, juice the lime and lemon, add the booze, then fill the rest of the glass up with water and add Splenda or Truvia to taste.  It's a lot better for you than normal cocktails.  Get tipsy while still lookin' fresh.


Enjoy this playlist and cocktail responsibly my friends.


HARRY POTTER. One Love.

Music is my Personal Trainer

Feelin' fat and bloated?!?!  YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!!!  Is your New Year's resolution to loose weight and work out everyday?  How many of you have stuck with your plan?  If you haven't, it's ok.  The biggest battle is getting your BUTT in the gym.  Once you're there you are good to go.  TRY THIS:  pump yourself up with this playlist when you are feeling unmotivated and~ALOHAMORA~you're at the gym crushin' it.

I love to work out, but sometimes it's tough to just get up and do it.  Find your motivation.  Maybe it's impressing that special someone, or getting yourself to a healthy point.  Whatever your goal is, try to personalize your playlist into something that will get YOU going.  This playlist makes me want to SWEAT!!!  Listen to mine or make your own.  Regardless, figure out what gets you going.

You don't need a personal trainer to kick your booty into gear.  All you need is the willpower, AKA this playlist, to get you going.  These tunes range from motivational rock to jazzy electronica.  Plug yourself into a REAL resolution plan an go kick some ass.


Happy New Years my Gryfindor fellows & good luck!!!!!!

Enjoy & Stay Tuned.

How to Soundtrack

I have had this fantasy for years now. I wish my life could be soundtracked at all moments.  I don't mean listening to your iPod as you go about your day.  I'm talking having your feelings and emotions poured out through song, out loud, for all to hear.  Music makes you happy....sad...excited... Music dictates our emotions and speaks to us in ways we can't explain.  A day without music is not worth living at all.  

I need to give everyone a little bit of a warning.  NOTICE: I will NOT speak of any music that is popular on the radio.  This includes Katy Perry and Justin Bieber style "artists".  The only exception to this rule is if the song is remixed or any other "after-market modifications" have been made to the original track.  It's not that I don't find myself tapping my toe to a song on the radio (rarely does this happen), but I like my music to be unique and personalized to my mood.  There are so many artists and genres to pick from.  Why would I want someone to do it for me?


So if you'll have me, I'd love to suggest music for your listening pleasure.  Hopefully I will be able to give you insight on my life and how music has helped me cope, grow, and learn.  


This year has been a very difficult one for me.  I moved away from my college town that I have been in for the past 4.5 years, said goodbye to some very special people, and now I am on the search for a job.  To cope with the anxieties of moving and transitioning, I have a few songs to recommend.  These songs are slow and "trancy", good for taking your mind off of things.  







Enjoy & Stay Tuned!
