Just Like You - Falling in Reverse

Song of The Month!

Just Like You

by Falling in Reverse

First of all, this song is amazing and the video is pretty funny. Ronnie Radke, the lead vocalist, has come under a lot of criticism and by default so has Falling in Reverse, but honestly I don't really care what kind of people they are - I care about what their music sounds like. Their newest album, also called Just Like You, is actually pretty good. 

Anyway, that's beside the point. This song is ... actually I'm not even sure how to explain it. It's catchy and pretty sarcastic, really. Then when you get to the chorus, you get hooked and it's one of those songs that get you pumped, even though the song's kind of insulting. Then, if you watch the music video, it's pretty funny. They take the piss of The Voice, so that's always gonna be entertaining. There's also an extended version of the music video, which is a full minute longer and is pretty much just a "before the show" sort of thing. It's honestly worth listening to, because one way or another it's gonna put you in a better mood.

Do we have any Falling in Reverse fans out there?

Hey Ya! 

by OutKast 

This isn't very old, but considering how quickly music changes and what was once popular becomes long forgotten, I figured it was about time I all remind you of a song that everyone I know has listened to at least once. If you've heard anything by OutKast, you have to have heard this song. Billboard even named it the 20th most successful song of the 2000s decade in the U.S. 

Have you ever heard the phrase "shake it like a Polaroid picture?" Well, this song was actually what made it popular. In the video there's a live performance by a band, all of which's members are actually played by Andre 3000. The video is very eccentric and unique, much like the song itself, and makes the whole thing a roller coaster of fun and weirdness.

It's a very catchy song and honestly just a very fun upbeat thing to listen to. It definitely lightens the mood. If you've heard it before, I hope you're enjoying it again, but if you've never heard it before I hope you now love OutKast - which you should.

Did anyone else love singing this on SingStar, or is that just me?

Dark Angel

Plot Summary:

"In a future of political, economic and moral collapse, a genetically enhanced superhuman prototype named Max escapes from military confines and dwells amidst the decadent underground street life of *Seattle* to avoid government agents who want to bring her back into the fold. Searching for others of her kind who were scattered in the aftermath of her escape, Max encounters Logan, an idealistic cyber-journalist battling repression and corruption in post-apocalypse America. Eventually, Logan calls her to the highest part of her being and Max becomes his samurai as the pair takes on the ruthless power-brokers of the new millennium. Max and Logan's odyssey leads them closer to the secret of her past, deepening and complicating their relationship in the process." - written by Ronos.

Dark Angel has been one of my family's favourite shows ever since I can remember. It's an amazing show with a very interesting plot and many interesting characters. I think it's one of the best shows ever made, but - just like Firefly - was cancelled before it got to have all the development it deserved. With famous faces like Jessica Alba, Michael Weatherly and Jensen Ackles, Dark Angel is definitely a must-see TV series, if you ask me. The series has even been rated 4.7/5 on Amazon, 8.8/10 on TV.com and 7.4/10 on IMDB. Anyway, Dark Angel is action-packed, filled with a lot of very entertaining storylines and some pretty hilarious one-liners, too.
