About This Site

Each month I select 20 songs (10 songs twice a month) that I am either hooked on or am curious about. Most of the music I select are rock, hip-hop, R&B and pop songs.

My song selection comes from 20-30 CDs I get from various sources each month, as well as recommendations from iTunes and Amazon. I also check out the charts in US, UK and Japan.

The Maine – Into Your Arms

Album: Can't Stop Won't Stop

The piano chord on this song sounded like something from the late 90s. It took me a long time to remember what it was from, and I finally remembered that it was Semisonic’s “Closing Time.” I had never heard of this band before until last month when I picked up Punk Goes Crunk album, and they covered Akon’s “I Wanna Love You”. I liked the cover, so I looked into their stuff, and it just happened that they had just released a new album.
