Some really good music that I truly have problems turning off and keeping out of my head, as much of it comes from 4 of my favorite artists (Rise, ADTR, Jack, and Marshall). The Katy Perry song is a bit out of my genre, but often those are the songs that you get stuck with the most. I probably will not have another post in this series for a while, however, as it takes me some time to get tired of the current playlists that I am listening to.
