Give Me Some Good Apples

I like starting off my morning with some good beats. Of course those beats then usually get stuck in my head for the rest of the day and I end up cursing them. But hey, its the price you pay for good music!

Bad Apple Touhou (http://youtu.be/VzEUeWnV73U)

This video and song was originally produced by the Touhou Project, a group dedicated to making animations and games set in the land of Gensokyo. I'm not sure what all goes on in these games, but being such a big gamer, I'll probably check it out later. :P

This video in particular is actually a remake of the original in plain black and white. Or maybe its the other way around..there's a little debate on that one and I haven't been able to figure it out. I personally think it has more impact in black and white, but that's just my opinion. Either way its a great song!

All Safe & Sound

This is a little tribute to two things:
1) My girlfriend because she absolutely loves Taylor Swift.
2) The now famous Hunger Games!
So here you go!

Safe & Sound by Taylor Swift (http://youtu.be/nhdNG_ebbTg)

In case you've been out of the loop, Taylor Swift is a nice young country singer coming out of Pennsylvania. Ever since her really big break in 2006, she has been more than crushing the charts throughout the world. She also became the youngest artist ever to win a Grammy for Album of the Year in 2010. There's no hiding that she is one talented lady! ;)

This song in particular is included on the soundtrack for the movie The Hunger Games based off of the best-selling book by Suzanne Collins. Unfortunately for many fans, like me, the song didn't show up until the credits. But that's okay, its still great!
