I just think this is awesome. It is popular, it has 5 million friggin views. It's by Rhett and Link, they are the 19th most subscribed comedians on YouTube. They get major props for this. I cannot describe it's awesomeness in words, so here you are:

Joshua's Weekly Playlist- Movie Edition! 11/07/10
Hello, readers of this blog- it's Joshua!
As Austin said, I do slightly more mainstream music for my playlist. I hope you like the songs that I picked out for this week.
So, on with the playlist!
As you all know from my review of Easy A, I really liked the movie. However, the soundtrack really stuck out for me, which I didn't mention in my review. The film opened with a fun song called "Change of Seasons," by Sweet Things- it got stuck in my head long after the movie was done. The song was not made for the movie, but it probably will become really associated with the movie. Here's the Easy A video. Unlike Austin's playlist, I have different songs, completely unrelated to eachother. Okay, the next one is from a movie, but still.
The next one is from what I consider to be the best movie of the year- Inception.
(If you know me, you probably expected me to say Toy Story 3).
Actually, the next two. If you've see the movie, you know the song when they wake up is a french song. What is it, you may ask? It's called Non, Je ne regrette rien- which means No, I Have No Regrets. Really, it does. If you've seen the movie, you'll know how strange it is. The actress who played Mal in Inception actually played the singer (Edith Piaf) in La Vie En Rose... a movie about her life. The director didn't want to have that happen, but Hans Zimmer, the composer for the film, had already written music around it. And here is the song.
Also, if you've seen the movie, the last scene where (SPOILER ALERT) the top is spinning (END SPOILER) has music, and that music is AWESOME! At least, I think so. It's instrumental, but the music is just so beautiful. Hans Zimmer is a genius- he took four chords, and made them all amazing. It's called Time, and click here to listen to it.
That's all I have to write for now-
Thank you for reading (and listening)

Austin's Weekly Playlist 11/6/10
Hey Guys,
This week I do not have a playlist, but just a band. The definition of the word "Playlist" will vary every week. Just so you know, I do not like "fake" music, anything with auto-tune I hate. I also don't like most popular music, but I will review it anyway. That's more Josh's thing. Hopefully you will grow to like my taste in music. This is one of my new favorite bands:
The Black Keys:
They are a two man band from Akron, Ohio, They have been around for almost ten years. You can classify them under "Bluesy, Funky, Rock Duo"? Here are some of my favorite songs:
Your Touch
Everlasting Light
Sinister Kid
Best Albums:
Brothers
Magic Potion
Just a general note. If you are going to listen to music (and not buy it), I recommend youtube.com and grooveshark.com
