BURN IT DOWN - Linkin Park

"BURN IT DOWN" is the first single off the upcoming fifth album of Linkin Park titled Living Things. This song is a great listen and can easily get stuck in your head. Linkin Park is building off their new sound created on their last album, A Thousand Suns. This sounds seems more refined and slightly more polished. Either way its a great song and should get Linkin Park fans excited for more great music. Living Things is to be released June 26. I, for one, am seriously looking forward to this. 2012 has proven thus far to be a great year for music. Keep listening.

Only You - The Flying Pickets

"Only You" is a song by the The Flying Pickets, originally by Yazoo, off their 1984 album Lost Boys. They're a British a capella group led by a singer named Andrea Figallo (great name, I know). This song is beautiful. The lyrics are gorgeous and the natural sounds that are created are almost transparent in that they don't seem like voices. No instruments whatsoever. Quite a feat. This version is just wonderful and to me, it's one of the greatest love songs. Take a listen. Enjoy.

The Beat Goes On - Beady Eye

"The Beat Goes On" is a song by the newly founded Beady Eye off their debut album Different Gear, Still Speeding from 2010. I say newly founded because this band is headed by Liam Gallagher, one of the creative minds behind the british rock band Oasis. He and his brother, Noel, have parted ways professionally but that isn't stopping either of them from continuing their passion to create timeless music. That's what this track is to me. Timeless. It has hints of The Beatles and a new sound that Liam is really pushing upon you. His voice is reminiscent, and I use that lightly, of John Lennon. Take a listen. Some real quality music here.
