He Knows Best

I love my brother Adam. I'm closer to him than any of my other siblings and they would all agree. Which is strange, because a few years ago I was sure he hated me. I remember this frizzy haired boy that would lay with his head on the computer desk and listen to strange music, then occasionally wake up to punch me. And even through all that, I loved him most.

I remember one time when eating dinner, just the two of us, he pretended to choke, then promptly passed out. I though he died. And it was my fault for not calling 911. I was traumatized. I cried for a long time. Even after he scared me by coming back from the dead.

But things are different (for the most part) and for the last 3 years we have been good friends. And over those 3 years I have realized that his "strange music" is amazing. It's just amazing. Every band, every song, every lyric. I still learn that everyday. Some times I still doubt and I don't know why. Some times I think "Oh, I probably wont like them". WONG!

Recently I realized I am in love with Rocky Votolato. There have always been some songs I liked of his, but I never check his other stuff out. And now I feel like I have wasted so much of my life by not knowing his greatness. Too little, too late, I guess. I will never doubt again. He knows best.

KIA Hamsters Are Killing Me

There is this new commercial out for the KIA soul where these hamsters pull up in this car and are listening to this cool music and it makes all the other hamsters jealous. While the commercial is pretty funny, it is the song that I loved. Thing is... it doesn't exist!

I have been looking for it everywhere. No one seems to know about it. And it turns out there are several versions of the commercial. One with the song "Fort Knox" by a band called Goldfish, one called "Bounce" by MSTRKRFT, and another called "Do What You Like" by Marz. None of which are the song I want.

If you see this commercial and the lyrics go something like "I don't care much what you wear but you better have some color in there" then 'Shazam' it for me.

I need to know. It's not just for the song anymore. It's the principle. I just cant let this beat me.


UPDATE: Colours by Calvin Harris. Its a bit repetitive, but I'd dance to it. Thanks to Stacy for finding it. I was so frustrated.
