Do you ever reach one of those music plateaus and go, "I need to find some new stuff!" And then after fruitless hours of listening to 30 second segments of lame-o songs, you still don't find anything? I sometimes wonder why I even go to Amazon for song hunting. YouTube is the place to be. Vevo is awesome. They have music videos. Vevo rocks, not only because of the music, but because I can watch their videos here in my realm outside of the United States. Yes Hulu, I hope you're reading this. You give me unending frustration with that confused emoticon and message, ":-/ We're sorry, this is not yet available in your country." Vevo may not have instant T.V., but they do have (just about) every artist's music video you could dream of.
This song, "Hey Mama" by Mat Kearney is a gem. It's got hand-clapping but it's still got a rock-y edge. And booming drums; a beat you can really move to. I pump this song up when I'm in the homestretch in my workout. It gets me through.
So you only got one song from that odyssey of hunting, you're saying. Yes, one new-to-me song. Break your Heart & Dynomite by Taio Cruz may have been slipped into the cart at the begging behest of my 9 & 11 year old daughters. *sigh* What can I say? I'm a sucker for my kids. I still think it's cool that they have their own "taste" in music. Even if their taste is every song that is played ad nauseum (extra on the nausea) on the radio. It is entirely Mairyn's fault that we own Chris Brown's song "Forever". Do you have any songs like that, ones that you wouldn't listen to, but you like it because you like that your kid likes it? Still with me? Anyway, that's enough jibber-jabber from me.

I need to add these to Taylor's videos. Chris hates the fact that she loves Justin Bieber's "baby" song...she only likes it because it says Baby!
