The Great Depression: More Relevant Than Ever (Pt. 1)

Our teacher played the class the tune “Dust Bowl Dance” by Mumford and Sons; she said to use that for inspiration and try to find songs that had some relevance. I banded together with my best friend and fellow music lover, Tristan, and we created the best playlist that teacher will ever see.

My dad had died the night before. That night, around 3 in the morning, I was listening to Tapestry by Carole King and ever since that this important in its own right album meant more to me than it ever might have.

US Top 10 Albums, December 29, 2012

Wow! The charts this week are as stale as a fruitcake but then again so is popular opinion. Did you happen to catch Michael Buble when he was on Saturday Night Live doing Christmas Duets? Could well be one of the most hilarious bits of all last season. Buble is the new Harry Connick Jr- pure Christmas material, plain and simple.

This is the greatest anthem ever. Whenever I hear it I just want to yell out the words. It’s the best teen angst song of all time- it has glimpses of punk, but is much more progressive indie. Its’ wicked catchy and just makes me want to dance.

Nostalgic Tunes, Lookin' Backwards

Bad Religion is always a good band to listen to when you’re in a punky mood, and this song is perfect for it. It’s a big middle finger to society and being judged, which is the epitome of teenage angst.

My Love Is Your Love – Whitney Houston – I ‘ve seen Whitney precisely once and she kinda sucked, but I have a friend who saw her at Radio City in her prime and she never stops rubbing my nose in it. This is the birth of hip hop production values in r&b -without this, no Beyonce
