0299 - The Long Return of Free Friday

I decided to step off the soapbox, even though I will give you a quick breakdown of what I was going to say.  Anyone who reads this blog consistantly knows that lyrics make or break a song for me.  There is a top 40 song Cool Kids by Echosmith, and the chorus just makes me angry.  For those who haven't heard it (Listen here).  The chorus of this song is "I wish that I could be like the cool kids, 'Cause all the cool kids they seem to fit in"..... Ok, I know it is just a song but this is sending the entirely wrong message to kids.  You don't have to be cool to fit in, be yourself and you will fit in.  I have a group of some of the best friends in the world, and I'm strange/awkward/clumsy and the last thing from a so called "cool kid".  I wouldn't want to be one because they always seemed so......uniform.  I know most of you might feel the same way and I just wanted to get that off my chest.


FREE FRIDAY!  I HAVE AN OVERFLOW OF FREE MUSIC THAT NEEDS TO GO RIGHT NOW! COME ON DOWN!
Seriously, I have so many free songs that have been building up.  So today will be free tracks and next week will be a free week!

First up is a sweet triple threat remix of the Yeah Yeah Yeah's track Maps by Tommie Sunshine, CID, and Modern Machines.  This track is hot.  I am not really sure thought because the audio samples seem to be from Adventure Club's track Wait, but they may just be recycled.  The song is hot though, beautiful, big, melodic, just a really great rendition.  Check out this killer remix and pick up the free download!

Even though I am not a huge fan of it, the new released track from Knife Party's upcoming album has been getting so much attention.  The track is a little too much for me, the chorus seems a bit simple, but overall its not a bad song.  Pick up the free download and let me know if you like it or not!
