How did we get to be so cool?

This post is mainly to share some music.

Also, there are window washers outside and they are banging all over the place and yelling at each other. lol They work fast though.  I guess it's something you get used to doing really quickly.  I'd like looking in everyone's window, just being a creeper.  I bet they don't get paid shit.

Let's get to it:

Fireworks by The Whitest Boy Alive
I'm not sure if this is actual "official" video.  If there even is one, but I think it's better than looking at an album cover. I've debated making this the song of the day for a while now, but I never went and relistened to it.  I heard it today and realized that it was better than I remembered and decided I had to give it proper recognition.  So this is my number one song of the day today. Enjoy.

Gimme Shelter by The Stones
(The Rolling Stones for all you nincompoops out there.) I wont lie to you and say that I am a huge Stones fan. But every now and then a song of theirs really strikes my fancy (like Paint It Black which I believe is a former song of the day).  No live video or music video.  No biggie, got this cool little 60's montage of everything this song is talking about.  The idea of the hippie has gotten really misconstrued.  Sure the drugs are there, but it's not about the drugs, it's a mindset.  These people in this time were fighting against oppression and hatred and senseless killing during the height of the Vietnam War.  Now a hippie is anyone who takes a morning toke and it nonviolent.  Those people would have been scoffed at when this song was made.  What are they doing to further the cause? Nothing.  Perhaps I am rambling a bit.  I've been called a hippie before, I don't pretend to be what those people were/are though.  I'd rather not be labeled at all, but this is earth and I live in reality so that's never going to happen.  I guess what I am trying to say is people use words too frivolously.  Words are strong, do not toss them around.

Moves Like Jagger by Maroon 5
Speaking of the Stones....Love this song.  Maroon 5 has really developed and grown as a band.  I like the little bit in the beginning where they have Mick saying he was surprised the band had lasted 2 years and they have become the longest running band ever? Haha. Some of the people are pretty good at doing a good Jagger and I like the actually Mick Jagger video dispersed throughout.  This song is just fun! Let it move and groove you and get up and dance!

Like a Stone by Audioslave
The song jams.  It has this great simple beat that really brings out Chris Cornell's painful, growly voice that is just beautiful.  This song is really great to drive to down long roads with no stop signs or traffic lights and just let it get into your body and let yourself get out of your head.  Tom Commerford's shoulder tats look sexy under his shirt as well.  I won't lie, they all have nice arms.

Black Hole Sun by Soundgarden
I guess it's like a you say double play going on.  The lead of this band you may recognize as the lead in the other vid I posted of Audioslave.  That's right, it's Chris Cornell.  Love this song.  I don't have a lot to say about it, it's just damn good.  Cornell's voice bring out some inner passionate strain or something.  Lol and personally I think he look like he is a little fucked up in this live video.  Yes it's live, but the quality is pretty good, there isn't too much audience interference and there wasn't an actual video.  I think he sings everything he says.

Fortune Days by The Glitch Mob
I was hoping there would be an actual video for this.  It is such a great song to not have any decent videos with it.  There were some mediocre fan made things on there.  Along side a few hilarious people dancing in costume to part of the song.  I almost posted the vid with all the movie scenes in it, but the scenes didn't go together in any type of form that really did any justice to the song.  It was more distracting to have that video playing.  So I have posted a simple album cover so that you may fully appreciate the song itself.  I also think this song would be cool to play over some snowboarding clips.  Haha, just saying.  But this whole album is amazing.  Definitely give it some quality time.  Maybe take it on a little trip ;) I know I have.

I'm really surprised I haven't featured any of these artists before.

You're tuned in to,
