What's Perfect?

I have to admit, I like playing games. I'm sure some of you out there will agree. That's why I'm going to play a little game with you guys! You see, I have a set of songs all lined up to share with you guys. All of these songs are connected in some slightly unexpected way. It's your job to figure it out, starting with this first song!


Perfect Day by Hōkū (http://youtu.be/hHybxGEcbZY)


Hōkū, born Hōkū Christian Ho, is a Hawaiian singer, songwriter, and actress. She is the daughter of the popular entertainer Don Ho. Truthfully, she may not be too well known to many of you. Be that as it may, her songs have been featured in such movies as Legally Blonde, Snow Day, and Arizona Summer. That is if you watch those movies. ;-P


So there we go. Let the games begin!

The Fires Continue

Who shouldn't start off their day with a little jam to some good rock music?!


Through the Fire and Flames by DragonForce (http://youtu.be/0jgrCKhxE1s)


DragonForce is a power metal band formed in 1999 in London, England. As you can tell from this song, they are popular for their long and fast guitar solos. And who can blame them! Through the Fire and Flames here is considered the band's most successful song, appearing in several video games such as Guitar Hero, Rock Band, and Audiosurf.


Want to know how crazy beast they are? While recording this song, one of the guitarists broke his string. But they decided to keep it recording and left it on the final album version!
