Favorites: Mid-July 2015

I've decided that my favorites post will always be in the middle of the month because it's different and fun, and then I can do my In Recap at the end of the month and it won't be too jumbled. I'm super excited for this post, so let's go!

Note: Not in any order!

Mid July Favorites

1. Can't Feel My Face: The Weeknd
This song is pretty new, but I love it! It's been playing everywhere, and it should be. It's so good! I really really love this song. So much, that I've made a playlist on my Spotify of just The Weeknd, because I'm so obsessed with this song that his other songs are probably just as great.

2. Arctic Monkeys
Okay, who doesn't love the Arctic Monkeys? I sure do. I've listened to them for a while now, thanks to my friend Audrey, but recently I've been listening to them way more. Their album AM is so good that I listen to it on repeat, especially when I'm with Audrey. If you are looking to check out a band, then check them out!

3. Black Magic: Little Mix
If I had to describe myself in 7th grade, it would be One Direction and Little Mix. Little Mix is awesome, and so is this song! It's so catchy and I always find myself singing along to it. Plus, Little Mix is so cool. I've meet them and they are so nice and are very down-to-earth. And, they have great voices. Plus, girlbands rock!

4. Newwwwww: Playlist
I reorganized my Spotify a couple of weeks ago, and for anybody who follows me there knows that I have way too many playlists. I decided on a new organizing system, which works really well! I've put all the bands that I don't listen to as much in one folder (in alphabetical order, of course) and then I left out the ones that I listen to all the time. Plus, I made this playlist called Newwwwww where I put any new music that I'm wanting to listen to. It doesn't have to be new to the world, just new to me. I really like this because then when I'm feeling like listening to some new tunes, I can just play this playlist! Check it out here!

5. Matchbox 20
Again, who doesn't love Matchbox 20? I've rekindled my love for them this past month and its reminded me how great their music is. I don't really have much to say besides the fact that I love them and that you should check them out, so I love them and you should check them out!

6. Neon Tiger: The Killers
I just wrote a blog post about The Killers, and when I was writing it I reminded myself how much I love this song! It makes me so happy and I love it so fucking much. Yes, it was number 8 on my list, but I kind of feel like it should be more like number 2 because my appreciation has grown. Anyway, listen to this song!

7. Cool For the Summer: Demi Lovato
My girl Demi! Demi honestly seems like the coolest person ever. I admire her for being who she is and taking no shit. She just loves who she is and what she does. This song just proves that point. It's so catchy and it basically screams "fight me." I love this song. Listen to it. That's all.

8. Taylor Swift and Apple Music
I think by now, almost everyone knows about Taylor and how she stood up to Apple Music. Some people are saying that she is standing up to them because she wants more money. I'm not best friends with the T-Swiz, so maybe that is true. However, I kind don't think it's the only reason she did it, if she even did it because she wanted more money in the first place. Taylor Swift has a lot of power in the music world and her standing up will make people notice. She can speak for the smaller artists who might have stood up but nobody payed attention too. it's cool that she does that. If you want to know more, read this article from CNN.

9. Maine(ly) Sleeping: Playlist
I was up at my cabin for a little under two weeks and this is what put me to bed every night. I love the Maine, as mention before, and this playlist is amazing. It's basically just their slow songs that put me into slumber. Check it out here!

10. Grow Up and Be Kids: The Cab
The Cab is great. I will someday do a blog post about them. However, I just recently rediscovered this song and now I can't stop listening to it. Listen to it and if you love it even just a fraction of how much I love it, then I'll be happy.
