Two Songs For This Week-Part 2

I must say, the title is a bit ironical today because our first song is Jaden Smith's "The Coolest". Here's the video:

Sure, I could talk about nepotism and how this song is a 14 year-old talking about all the girls he brings home, but I really just want to talk about how freaking hilarious this song is. Sure, he might have lots of money but what Jaden Smith also has is monotone. Halfway through I was about to turn it off but then I would have missed this line: "I'd rather swallow throw up 'cause I'm chillin' with my girl". I mean, I don't even know what to say to that, except I thank the music industry for this because I was kind of grumpy but now I am laughing hysterically. 

Next is "Long Vows" from the latest Band of Horses album "Mirage Rock". I'm not a huge Band of Horses fan (minus, Is There A Ghost, of course) but I have to say I'm impressed with this album as a whole. "Knock, Knock" is a great first single and the rest of the album is a good mix of alternative, country and heartbreak.

Here is the acoustic version but you can listen to the whole album, HERE
