Taio Cruz - Break Your Heart

---------------Third time's a charm - an expression that wills people to be patient, continue searching or keep flared tempers at bay for at least another try. Such was the case as I perused the U.K. charts this morning, when I found a bitter taste in my mouth from the first couple of pop morsels tasted. Taio Cruz's dance club ode of honesty "Break Your Heart" was the sweet surprise of the charts. You may not have heard of U.K. R&B singer-songwriter Taio Cruz, but when you hear "Break Your Heart," you'll agree that his music is the missing child of pop radio who just wants to hang out with siblings like Akon, Ne-Yo, and Sean Kingston. Get "Break Your Heart" from Taio Cruz sophomore album, Rockstarr.

Big D and the Kids Table - Steady Riot
--------------Would you ever want to forget a friend's birthday? Certainly not the Vans Warped Tour's birthday, which turns 15 this summer with old school and new school bands following each other in boiling RVs and cramped little U-Hauls to bring scenesters of all ages the music they love. Among these trailers you'll find Big D and the Kids Table, who first entered the tour in 2004 and is totally worth being your new bff.

A bunch of Berklee College of Music geeks formed the band in 1995, and since then have brought their ska-punk stylings all over, touring with Streetlight Manifesto and The Mighty Mighty Bosstones. If punk doesn't quench your thirst, never fear - Big D has a sound appealing to fans of Less Than Jake and Dave Matthews Band alike. Get today's song, "Steady Riot" from either the 2007 Warped Tour Compilation or Strictly Rude.
