Tuesday Tunes 2013 Debut: Reach for the Sky, Keep Your Eye on the Prize

Happy 2013 everyone!! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season and rang in the new year with some champy and a smile.  I'll do a new years resolution post soon but, in the meantime, I didn't want to leave you without Tuesday Tunes for a moment longer.  All of these songs make me smile in such a big way.  Whether its from the message, the music video, the beat {pop, electric, or man-made}, or because it's by my favorite person ever, they are perfect for launching into a new year with a fresh start!

• Sunshine by Matisyahu

• Locked Out of Love by Bruno Mars

• Trojans by Atlas Genius (Lenno Remix)

• I Knew You Were Trouble by Walk Off the Earth

• I Could be the One by Avicii (ft. Nicky Romero) Nope not stopping with Avicii in 2013. In fact, he's spending January and February producing new tracks AND coming out with an album.  It may just be getting worse {Sorry to anyone I promised I'd stop obsessing to *cough* AGK}.

Tuesday Tunes: Loosin' Up the Ears for Lolla

What's better than thousands of sweaty people jumping around for twelve hours to blaring music?  Nothing!!  We're heading to Lollapalooza in Chicago this weekend, and I could not be more excited!!! Here are some of the tunes I'm most looking forward to hearing.  Turn them on throughout the weekend if you want to have a piece of the fun.  Since I'm double excited, it's double the fun with ten songs instead of five.

1) I Won't Be Found by The Tallest Man on Earth

2) Right Thing To Do by Sbtrkt (ft. Jessie Ware)

3) Take a Walk by Passion Pit

4) Lost in my Mind by The Head and the Heart

5) Stars by Fun.

6) Thinking About You by Frank Ocean

7) Shake It Out by Florence + the Machine

 8) Simple Song by The Shins

9) Only You by Kaskade (ft. Tiesto and Haley)

Last but not least, love of my life...

7) Eyes by Kaskade 

8) Everlasting Light by The Black Keys (for AGK)
