"If you don't like it...don't come to the party."

2011 was an interesting year for me musically. This is a very random list for sure. Not all of these songs are directly from 2011 but its when I first heard them. 

1. Party Rock Anthem-LMFAO

party rock is in the house tonight/ everybody just have a good time/ and we gonna make you lose your mind/ we just want to see you shake that

This song is everywhere, radio, award shows, Kia hamster commercials, Just Dance 3. I don’t know if there is a bigger song this year. And it also led to a Shufflin’ craze that I still have not perfected. 

2. Rolling in the Deep-Adele

we could have had it all/ rolling in the deep/ you had my heart inside of your hand/and you played it to the beat

A powerful song from a powerful lady. The drum beat in the background is what makes this song. 

3. Broken Jaw-Foster the People

i’ve broken it a lot/ all the words come out my broken jaw/ i don’t know anything/ but then i act like i know everything

This is the last song on their album and its a good album closer. 

4. Niggas in Paris-The Throne

that shit cray

Thank you Jay-Z and Kanye for deciding to make an album together. The world thanks you. And this song has also given me my new favorite catch phrase “That shit cray”. 

5. Countdown-Beyonce

oh killing me softly/ and i’m still fallin/ still the one i need/ i will always be with you

So much is going on with this song, so many different beats and melodies. This video is also one of my favorites this year. So colorful!

6. Houdini-Foster the People

sometimes i want to disappear

I first heard this song on Saturday Night Live before I bought the whole album. Sometimes I do want to disappear.

7. Crown on the Ground-Sleigh Bells

you never doubted it/ you’re so proud of it/ you straight shouted it/ there’s no doubt of it

The first thing I think of when I think of this song is LOUD. Its a good song to just blast in your car. 

8. Super Bass-Nicki Minaj

somebody please tell him who the eff i is/ i am nicki minaj / i mack dudes up

Who doesn’t love Super Bass? It was my go to rap song this year. 

9. Gucci Gucci-Kreayshawn

i got the swag and its pumping out my ovaries

Such a ridiculous song, but just for that last line of the song, its on my top song list.

10. Just In Love-Joe Jonas

there’s no other words to use/ i’m just in love with you

My roommate and I heard this song and were obsessed. I love this new Joe Jonas. 

11. A$$-Big Sean ft. Nicki Minaj

i’m stacking my paper/ my wallet looks like a bible

Reminds me of Dolla Drink night. It is an Ale House staple on the dance floor. 

12. Burn It All-Dean’s List

i am not a hipster sister/ i just do some hip things

Calms me down and pumps me up at the same time. How can a song do that??

13. Shake It Out- Florence + The Machine

i like to keep some things to my self/ i like to keep my issues strong/ its always darkest before the dawn

A beautiful song, as are all of her songs. 

14. Hit the Lights-Selena Gomez & The Scene

hit the lights/ let the music move you/ lose yourself tonight

My new car song. Its a different kind of song from Selena 

15. Call Your Girlfriend-Robyn

call your girlfriend/ its time you had the talk

Just recently heard the song when she performed on Saturday Night Live. Just her dancing earns her a spot on this list. 

16. Moves Like Jagger- Maroon 5 ft. Christina Aguliera

i got the moves like jagger/ i got the moves like jagger/ i got the mooooooves moves like jagger

Adam Levine’s voice is like angels singing. 

17. Jack Sparrow-The Lonely Island ft. Michael Bolton

this is the tale of captain jack sparrow/ pirate so brave on the seven seas

I died laughing the first time I heard this. So funny. Where do they come up with this stuff?

18. The Writer-Ellie Goulding

why don’t you be the writer/ and decide the words i say

Another one of my favorite albums I discovered this year. She just has such an airy quality in her voice that I love. 

19. Skyscraper-Demi Lovato

do you have to make feel like/ there’s nothing left of me

Demi is the comeback kid. What a triumphant return

20. Not Over You-Gavin Degraw

if you asked me how i’m doing/ i would say i’m doing just fine/ i would lie and say that your not on my mind

Story of my life. 

21. Marry the Night-Lady Gaga

i’m gonna marry the night/ i’m not gonna cry anymore

A great opening to her album. Different from her previous work. 

22. Words I Never Said-Lupe Fiasco ft. Skyler Grey

its so loud inside my head/ with words that i should have said

Gotta love a political rap song. I love Skyler’s hook on this

23. Daylight-Matt & Kim

in the daylight anywhere feels like home

This was my ringtone for most of the year. So peppy with the piano. 

24. Edge of Glory-Lady Gaga

i’m on the edge of glory/ and i’m hanging on a moment with you

I would say that this is the best song off her album. It makes me want to go run a marathon or dance, or something. 

25. Someone Like You-Adele

nevermind i’ll find someone like you/ i wish nothing but the best for you

Such a devastating song. It just wants to make you cry . 

and bonus song!

26. Friday-Rebecca Black

friday, friday/ gotta get down on friday/ everybody’s looking forward to the weekend, weekend

Ah, Friday. What would this year have been without this song? Song many moments of laughter this song has brought me. The lyrics are so terrible, yet so catchy. “Yesterday was Thursday, thursday. Today it is Friday, Friday. We we we so excited, we so excited, we gonna have a ball today. Tomorrow is Saturday and Sunday comes afterwards.” WHAT IS THIS??? A work of art is what it is. 

Also I would Like to give a shoutout to “Moving Like Bernie” and “Cat Daddy” because they are fantastic dances. 

Ringer: So far, I have enjoyed it. The pilot was really great, and so far it has enough twists and turns to keep me intrigued. I’m up to about the 6 episode right now and should be catching up on the rest soon. 

Up All Night: Another show that I have enjoyed, but has fallen into the mix of my extensive Hulu queue. I love Will Arnett and Mya Rudolph in this. 

Free Agents: Didn’t even watch the pilot. Never got the time. 

2 Broke Girls: LOVE! So funny, the sarcasm is wonderful, and I still laugh every time they make a hipster joke.

The Playboy Club: Watched probably about the first 10 minutes and couldn’t even stand it. Lame lame lame. 

New Girl: This is probably my favorite new show this fall season. I find many similarities between Jess and myself and I love that character. The three guys are all hilarious and I love the concept of the douchebag jar.

The X Factor: Even though there are many things that I would like to see change about this show, including some of the judges, I really did think that they had an nice crop of contestants, all of whom I had an strong opinion of, which is a good thing. Nothing is worse than reality show contestants you are indifferent about. I’m suprised I didn’t have a seizure watching it with all of the lasers and flashing lights. 

Revenge: Another show that has fallen victim to my inability to keep up with my Hulu queue, but its so fun nevertheless. Everything is very nicely planned out, and the takedowns of the people who wronged her father are always so cool. 

Charlie’s Angels:  Another show I couldn’t even make it throught. BORING.

Whitney: I only really watch this because I watch everything else on NBC on Thursdays. Its just kinda the same jokes every week and the Laugh track, whether it is a real studio or fake, is just totally obnoxious. Maybe it will be a better fit on Wednesdays with Are You There Chelsea? 

Pan Am: I liked it, I just felt like nothing was happening plot wise. 

Terra Nova: Gotta love dinosaurs. Sometimes I feel like the acting is a little flat, but its a decent enough show.

Hart of Dixie: The show is pretty corny, and I’m not sure how long they can keep up with the whole “I’m from New York and nobody likes me in this small town.”  

Suburgatory: I love how obnoxious they make all of the suburban girls. Funny. Its a fun show.

How to Be A Gentleman: Never got around to watching it. Whoops!

Grimm: I watched the first episode and hopefully I can get caught up, but I’m not sure. It is a darker take on the fairy tale stuff. 

Once Upon a Time: Now for a lighter take on Fairy Tales. I like how everyone is a fairy tale character and trying to figure out who is who is fun. 

my lists to come soon!! 

hindsight is 20/20

you didn’t hurt me that bad

i overreacted 

i’m sorry

i still think about you

and what could have been

if i didn’t push for an answer 

or maybe pushed more

i’ve talked to other people since you

and it never worked out

i never felt the same

as i did about you

you can still put a smile on my face

i hope to see you soon

i miss you. 

Fall TV Season is here!! The most wonderful time of the year! And time for me to pick which new shows I will add to my already  pretty crowded list that I already watch. I’m just hoping for a better crop of new shows than the boring 2010 season. 

So tonight I started the adventure with 90210. I watched the first season religiously, but when the second season started I lived with more people so I had less control of TV time. So since Glee doesn’t start till next week I gave it a watch. I liked it and will try to keep up with it. Easier said than done. 

My first new show of the season is Ringer. I give all new shows that I find semi-interesting a 3 episode watch policy.  I find it hard to judge a show just by the pilot, because pilots are so self contained, the writing can’t really be compared to a normal episode. So if within 3 episodes a show doesn’t hook me, I can’t afford to have it on my already heavy plate of shows. There are some shows that have been unfortunate causualties of this rule, such as The Vampire Diaries and The Big Bang Theory. BBT is more on fact its not available online and I can’t watch it live. Sad Pandas =[ 

But back to Ringer. Sarah Michelle Gellar was convincing. The ending really hooked me. I was kinda drifting in and out in the middle, but once that twist came on the end I NEED to know what is going to happen next week. I like the cast, some of the stories established in this episode will be interesting to see played out through the course of the show. 

Tomorrow is Wednesday so I will for sure be watching Survivor (the one reality show I WILL be on before I die). Maybe I’ll watch the new cycle of Top Model. The two new shows I’ll be watching are Up All Night and Free Agents.
