my summer picks

I've had a lot of free time the last month so I've been reading and listening to music a lot =)

I thought I'd make a list of my summer picks!

Some of the music I've been listening to has been all over the place.

I'm loving Sky Sailing.

If it sounds familiar to you when you listen to it, that's because it's actually the man behind Owl City: Adam Young.

I love the new sound to it but it's actually a collection of songs he worked on before Owl City came to be.

suggested listening: Brielle, A Little Opera Goes A Long Way, Sailboats, Alaska

I'm also loving Lights.

She just released an acoustic-EP that I'm kind of loving! The first songs I heard from her have a very electronic sound to them but I love the acoustic versions now!

suggested acoustic listening: Saviour, River, February Air

I also have a "Summer 2010" playlist that I've been listening to on repeat for the last few weeks and I keep adding to it. Some of these songs include:

Ridin' Solo -Jason Derulo

If We Ever Meet Again (feat. Katy Perry) -Timbaland

Cooler Than Me -Mike Posner

Dynamite -Taio Cruz

I Like It -Enrique Iglesias

Airplanes (feat. Hayley Williams) -B.o.B

Billionaire (feat. Bruno Mars) -Travie McCoy

(basically songs that are on the radio, ha)

Yup, I have quite the collection of tunage. Summer puts me in the mood for songs that make me dance :)

My reading selections include:

Shiver

and Linger

by: Maggie Stiefvater

Sisters Red

by: Jackson Pearce

and I'm reading Charlie St. Cloud right now so we'll see if it's going to be one of my picks!

speaking of I saw this today:

and can I just say

ZEfron won my heart over again :)

new music

I kind of really like music. I love walking to class with my earbuds in listening to my newest music. I love getting a new song I've fallen in love with and playing it on repeat 10 times before I figure I should move onto the next one before I start to get sick of it. I love loading my ipod touch with my new songs. I love sharing new songs with friends.

I'm not super picky. I enjoy mostly top 40/pop music. I like really upbeat music that I can sing my heart out to. I wish I could show you my itunes music library. That would definitely give you a better idea of my music preferences.

I LOVE singing in the car, in my dorm room, my bedroom at home, even though I'm kind of a terrible singer. I always wished I had an amazing voice and people wanted me to sing. I got over that fast, but will still sing if I love the song. I'll even break out in song sometimes if I have a song stuck in my head.

I say all this because I'm listening to some new songs right now. It just inspired me to write a blog post about how much I love listening to music.

I know my preferences change depending on what kind of mood I'm in or what's going on right now in my life. Pretty sure everyone is like that in one way or another.

I'm listening to Demi Lovato's latest CD at the moment. I have been listening to the New Moon soundtrack, "Just Haven't Met You Yet" by Michael Buble, some songs from Glee, and I'm always listening to Owl City.

What are you listening to now?
