Music Mix of the Week

I love when people blog/post what they are listening to. It's like a glimpse into someones personal soundtrack universe. Here are some samples of what I've been listening to this week:

Did you hear...I'm going on vacation in one month! A couple friends and I will be island hopping through the Caribbean. My personal theme song for this trip is "Toes" by Zac Brown Band. Every time I listen to Zac Brown Band, I become more and more impressed. Their music is is big blend of country, folk, bluegrass, and a little Jimmy Buffett. Check out "Toes" below:




My favorite boy band got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame this week! Check out the Backstreet Boys:

It's hard for me to believe that BSB has been around for TWENTY years! Makes you feel old, right? Seeing them get that star prompted me to listen to a mix of their songs. Brings me back to some late 90s and early 2000s nostalgia. Check out this oldie but a goodie (and Nick Carter's bowl cut!), As Long as You Love Me:



Have you caught Nashville on ABC this year? It's a terrific show filled with drama, soapy story lines, an attractive cast, and yes, country music. It stars Connie Britton and Hayden Panettiere as rivaling country divas who are forced to go on tour together. It really gives an interesting perspective to the music industry and the struggles people go through to achieve their dreams. The plot lines are intriguing, and the music is fantastic. I've been rocking out to the soundtrack, with this particular song on repeat, One Works Better:



There will always be a part of me that will always love mainline pop music. I have fond memories of blasting the Top 40 radio stations on the drive to my high school. Nelly, Ja Rule, Ashanti, 50 Cent, Destiny's Child...I love them all. That is why I have been cranking this song when I work out, Pitbull featuring Christina Aguilera Feel This Moment:



What have YOU been listening to lately? I'm always ready for new suggestions.
