The latest iMix has arrived, this one themed for February appropriately as a Valentines mix. I gave out the mix to folks at work and they LOVE it, I haven’t gotten such a positive response on a mix in a while. iTunes doesn’t seem to include ALL the songs, I am not sure why but the iMix has a nice selection, but missing a couple KEY songs… Look for Kris Allen’s “Falling Slowly” and grab that if you can, it is a must for this! I would love to get some ratings for my iMixes as well, so if you like them, rate them! Click on the “See All iMixes By This User” button to see the rest out there!
So I really got into the iMix thing, one of my favorite parts of working at AOL music was my role as Music Director for Pop radio stations which included me picking the songs, how much they would play etc. I love putting together playlists and this actually lets me do them and get them out to the public through iTunes, what can be better than that eh? Every month I do a “Flavor of the Moment” mix which usually ends up in my car and I do share with others, well here’s December’s Flavor of the Month iMix.
Well I have been trying to think of the best way to wrap up my favorite songs of 2009 and I know many of them probably didn’t even originate in 2009, so I used Last.fm to check out what I exactly listened to and here it is. The artists in the top 10 won’t surprise anyone but the #1 artist MIGHT…..
So, anyone knows I am “obsessed” with Alanis Morissette— Alanis and the US national anthem weren’t always my favorite combo, even though she is a dual citizen. Even though the Yanks didn’t perform well, I think she did pretty damn good!
A few months before releasing the song ‘Underneath’ as the first single from her album ‘Flavors of Entanglement,’ the song was used for a music video for a contest. When the song was released as a single there was another version of the video created. I personally love the original and think the ‘official’ is just EHH. I thought I’d put them up for their own battle even though I know there’s no one else paying attention! Watch after the jump… +Continue Reading
At Kelly’s show last night in CT, which I am a complete idiot for letting it go way past my radar (what is happening to me)… she did a cover of Alanis’ “That I Would Be Good,” one of my favorite Alanis songs, and of course was awesome Kelly style.
I am not sure what’s going on with all these pop kids covering Alanis lately? Beyonce, the shocker of Britney and now my Kelly! I am liking this trend… Alanis… come on, you can be relevant! DO IT! Watch and love… +Continue Reading
I was floored months ago when Beyonce added a cover of Alanis’ ‘You Oughta Know’ to her tour. The song that threw Alanis onto the musical map to sell 40 million of ‘Jagged Little Pill’ made its way back to relevance from 1995 to 2009. I was glad that there’s still some Alanis love around! When I woke up this morning, I relived this all over again, but in a much higher level. Britney Spears, in a rare rare rare instance of singing live at her concert did a very random action and sang ‘You Oughta Know’ too! Two of pops biggest stars, the A list of pop culture relevance showed some awesome Alanis love. I have no clue why either of them would do this, but I love it and it’s crazy. SO, the obvious next question… who does it best?! +Continue Reading
