I'm Real: The Starting Line: Such a classic part of high school, the (pop) punk music obsession... It's a fun song and I like their take on this Jennifer Lopez song. But overall it isn't my favorite and it seems to be missing something, so it goes...

Solid Ground: Ms. John Soda ?? : This is the type of song that could put you in a trance. It is smooth and kind of floats, and I love the orchestra/wood wind? instruments in it. Two Stars.

RoofTop: Dave Matthews Band: Already I am apprehensive to rate this one... because my husband loves DMB, and I only sometimes do. So, lets listen and see what to do... If I do delete them I know he still has them so it won't be the end of the world... I am actually kind of digging the earthiness of the song, in the chorus. Okay, this one stays. Two Stars.

Never Give Up On The Good Times: Spice Girls: I think the flute in here makes me think of Anchor Man... I think it is time to give up on this "good time" love you spice girls, but this isn't your finest! haha...

All I Want Is You: Barry Louis Polisar: It's a cutesy little song from the movie Juno, which I felt was the epitome of Indie music in movies... and the harmonica is nice... but I will let it go.

Warwick Avenue: Duffy: Such a good song to croon along to... Note to self, look up more from Duffy. The music video started as what I was expecting, and stayed the same, I expected a little more than just her in the car, but it is still good. Two Stars.

Sun Hands: Local Natives: already reviewed, loved, Four Stars (because of the sweet drop and option to rock out!)

Dirrty: Christina Aguilera: I must admit, this is a mainstay on my workout playlist. I love that they say "Ring the alarm and I'm throwing elbows" Three stars.

Many The Miles: Sara Barellis: this is a sweet and fun song, just nice and sunny. Seems like a great road trip song when you are driving to see your love... Two stars.

Ooh La La: Goldfrapp: this song seems thin, but it's fun. One Star.

Tarantula: Smashing Pumpkins: I am very tempted to just delete all of the pumpkins... I kind of said I liked them due to one guy I dated... And this song particularly seemed like our song, but he was a cheater... This song does seem to have high energy. But, I don't really like the pumpkins as a whole... this song is gone.

You'll See: Bedroom: When this song came up I said, I don't even know how I got this song. Do you have any of those in your collection? Well, it is a light and tinny song, it is kind of enjoyable, but also kind of so high pitched that it's hurting my ears, it seems like a simple song, one you would hear in a movie soundtrack while someone is driving along the coast. I'm going to cut it since I don't know where it came from and it didn't really spark anything within me.

Journey To The Past: Aaliyah: First off, it is from Anastasia and is a classic, and I like it. I do think I like the version in the movie a little more, but I am keeping it. It's a soundtrack anyway... One Star.

SuperStar: Nina Gordon: My mom first had a CD by Nina, and I would listen to it as a read a series of books and they always make me think of that character... then a few years ago I decided to look her up again and she had one or two songs on an album that I liked so I bought it, burnt it onto my computer and sent it to my mom. Haha... this song is kind of slow and sad but hopeful... I am deleting it though.

Ola Chica: Chico Fernandez: What a great way to wrap up today's post! This is one of my all time favorite Cha Cha songs. This use to be my ringtone, my dear friend David bought me a CD just for this song, it was one of the first songs I remember seeing performed to at BYU-I, and I later coached a team and taught the same dance that Ron Montez (THE Montez!!) choreographed for BYU-I. So much love for this song, the dance department at BYU-I, it is just a fun and happy song, and one of my favorites. FIVE STARS!!!!!

Midnight Bottle

Midnight Bottle: Colbie Caillat: Speaking of Midnight Bottles, I've found a smoothie that helps me sleep deep and through the night! It's delicious! 1/4 c frozen cherries, 1 c almond milk, 1 TBSP peanut butter, splash of vanilla, half a banana, ice cubes, and I add some flax and chia seeds for fun. And sometimes some cocoa powder to make it chocolatey! And it totally helps me to sleep well. Back to the song...It's a fairly light and breezy song, a good rumba, makes me want to be in a hotel room on the beach with the wind blowing through the curtains. One Star.

Payphone: Maroon 5: First off, this song shouldn't really be about payphones cause I never see any anymore... but anyway. It's a catchy and pop song, the Husband loves it so I'll keep it (though I like it too) One Star.

Die Alone: Ingrid Michaelson: It might be my copy of the song, but it is a tinny sounding copy... but I kind of like it. It works with the song to be that way. It;s a good song for a commute, when the sun is shining and you're enjoying the day. One Star. 

To The Moon & Back: Savage Garden: Savage Garden was such a futuristic yet perfectly contemporary band. I'm a little sad they are no longer a band... but I am also okay with it. I can't entirely decide what I think of this song.. I know every word, but it isn't quite a good pump up song, I don't think it has enough to stay on as a road trip song because it isn't as well known... well, when it doubt, throw it out!

Girl America: Mat Kearney: once it started I said, gone. I'm not much a fan of talk-singing. And then there are some drug references, tossed.

Ladies' Choice: Mandy Moore: Ahh I love Mandy! This is a great tune. reviewed here.  Three Stars.

Spin Around: Josie and the Pussycats: I think my mom bought this cd, and I had seen the movie once and it was terrible and mediocre but the music was fun... it was a good road trip CD in college! One Star.

Will You Still Find Me: Aereogramme: It's a smooth and flowing song, one that makes you forget how time moves. I was able to find the song on youtube.  It's such a watery song, One Star.

Staple it together: Jack Johnson: It's a fun little number, easy going, good for doing the dishes to. One Star.
