Hey Monday - How You Love Me Now
---------------No wonder everyone hates Mondays. This is not a song of any sort of day, unless this is the day you've decided a hybrid of sissy rock mixed with Taylor Swift is your new "cool" band to shake your tushy to. Seriously, Hey Monday - what the hell?! You sound almost, no, exactly like Tay-Swift in a Glamour Kills tee with Wayfarers and hipster hair. If you like Hey Monday, you probably like The Jonas Brothers, the Movie Camp Rock, you're 12, or think this band is a clever alternative to Miley Cyrus.

I'm sad to say this band is from Florida, a prolific pop-punk haven with much higher standards. I can't understand for the life of my polka-dot Vans slip-ons why they have scored 25,000,000 + views on their Myspace page. And if I had a nickel for every chick that looked, sounded and wrote like Cassadee Pope, I'd be writing this post from my penthouse on Fifth Avenue.

Thomas Cunningham - Twilight

-----------Pandora introduced me to Thomas Cunningham, an Air Force graduate/singer songwriter from Woodland, California. The warmth in Cunningham's echoing vocals is reminiscient of a Bob Dylan, "Travellin' Man" type of singing. He lists writing material for Taylor Swift or Tim McGraw as one of his future goals, having just finished recording in Franklin, Tennessee. "Twilight" sways and bounces like sweatpants in a dryer, emoting a pleasant, free spirit in the listener. Though Cunningham can credit most of his fame to "The Bottle of Wine," taking a sip of "Twilight" from his 2007 album Goodbye, Emily Jane is just as satisfying.
