Well I'm back for another installment of "What I'm listening to, right now" and its been awhile since I've posted, just because it seems there's not much out there that I really felt was listen-worthy.  Because of that, I've been going through my collection of CD's and digitizing them and found some songs I thought everyone might appreciate and there are a couple of new songs I'd like to share with.  We'll start with the new songs and proceed to the older ones...

1. Fire It Up, Thousand Foot Krutch  This is just an awesome rock song.  The first fifteen seconds of the song builds up and finally the guitar kicks in and rocks it out for the remainder of the song.  After all, you would expect a song entitled "Fire It Up" to actually get you fired up.
2. Still Counting, Volbeat Volbeat is a Danish band formerly into the death metal scene and it does show in this song at places.  I'm not even sure how to describe this song or why I even dig it.  Give it a listen and feel free to make fun of me for liking a Danish band.
3. 'Til Summer Comes Around, Keith Urban  Okay, I truly dislike Keith Urban.  I think all his songs sound the same nevermind the fact that they aren't that good.  However, most of his ballad-y or slowish type songs tend to be very good and this is one of them.  So if you wanna get bummed out, take a listen.
4. Hillbilly Bone, Blake Shelton  A little history with this song, I would see it come on my Sirius Satellite radio and the name alone made me turn the station.  I deduced in my mind it was going to be some awful song and it may still be, but it is catchy, especially the chorus.  I dare you to listen to the song and not sing along with the chorus. You may be able to resist, but I like to sing in the truck so its tough for me.
5. You Haven't Left Me Yet, George Strait  This is probably one of my all time favorite George Strait songs.  Its kind of a sad song but something about it I really like.  I suppose its probably the phrasing of the song, is very clever and its just a good country song.
6. La La, Ashlee Simpson  I know, I know.  I should get my man-card revoked for even listening to this song, nevermind admitting I listen to it on my blog and further recommending it.  I'd suggest you at least give it a listen before petition the man-council to have my membership permanently revoked, its a good Pop Rox song. (Sorry, couldn't find it to add to the Amazon widget.)
7. Alive, P.O.D.  This song rocks.  End of discussion.  I'd have to say this was one of my favorite songs from my senior year of college.  It also had an amazing video.

There's the list, hopefully the music industry will inspire me more frequently in the weeks to come.
