Looking Forward: Sounds of 2013

Peace - Wraith (Audio)
What better way to end the year then to, well, look forward to next year? 2012 was so (almost) last year. We put together a list of bands and artists that we think you should know about in the coming year. Some of these names have been coming up and we're expecting them to blow up while others have been on the scene for a while and we're just looking forward to some new material. PK - We first caught wind ...

My New Favorite Song: Sleeper Agent – “Get Burned”

Sleeper Agent - Get Burned (Official)
You know that song that you just can't get out of your head? It's playing every single second you mute your thinking; every single rhythm in your life is moving to that one tune. There's a reason we're called Dear Song In My Head: We like to post songs that we're almost-sure will be stuck in your head. What's been on my mind so much lately is Sleeper Agent's "Get Burned." Picture yourself dancing to your favorite all-time songs from ...

Download our updated V1.0 app on the Windows Marketplace!

We're proud to announce our app has been updated to version 1.0! It only took us a month of basically running a beta v 0.5 but we're proud of it. I may be the only one on the team that actually uses a Windows Phone (MSFT, ftw!) but we've had over 350+ downloads in just a little over a month that we had the app in the marketplace. Yeah, I know what you're saying, "People actually use those phones??!!" Hey, ...

Favorite Singles of 2011

It's that time of year again. No, not the holiday spirit, but the blogosphere spirit where everyone turns in their top albums of the year list. We've never been one to make lists. Hell, we're not really too deep into the whole "album" spirit. With that in mind, we've created a list of some of our top singles of this year. There are obviously plenty others that we love, but most of them are here because we posted about them on the site. Of course we love the Adeles, Florence and The Machines, and Radioheads of the 2011 music year. [...]

Two Door Cinema Club: “Secret Circus” of Unreleased Songs

Two Door Cinema Club: “Secret Circus” of Unreleased Songs There is no denying that Two Door Cinema Club is my favorite band. I talk about them all the time and I have an uncanny bad habit of trying to compare every new indie rock band with the Irish band. Two Door have been touring like crazy this whole year and have been talking about going in to a cave once they're finished with their current tour slated to end next month. Along their tour shows they've been playing a new track or two that will go into their next album. I absolutely have no idea if they [...]

Take Me Back: Voxtrot (My ‘Missing Pieces’)

Take Me Back: Voxtrot (My ‘Missing Pieces’) Every now and then I have the daring curiosity to seek music from outside of my iPod's playlist. You see, I have a 32 GB version with most of it filled-up. Though, I almost never listen to half of what's on my entire playlist titled "Annihilation." The only reason to explain the name of the playlist is that I would die without the tunes in said playlist. The other half of the iPod is filled with countless tunes that I have downloaded, enjoyed, and forgotten. I absolutely hate that I forget about good music. But, it's not entirely [...]

Feel Good Wednesday! The Avalanches- Since I Left You

Feel Good Wednesday! The Avalanches- Since I Left You Watch the steps. Get a drink, have a good time now. Welcome to paradise. I have this box filled with tons and tons of memories. A lot of these memories remind me of how far I've come. Some of the people I made these memories with aren't in my life anymore. It's understandable, life happens.The picture above was given to me by a girl with a cool attitude; she was always there for me and I was very fond of her for that. I forget why we don't talk as much. Any who, whether [...]

If I Had My Own Theme Song

If I Had My Own Theme Song If you could have your own theme song, what song would it be? I, not too long ago, found the song that gets me into the Rocky Balboa mentality. Sure, I may have exaggerated on that last statement, but who cares? It's my theme song and it gets me in the zone to conquer it all. I kind of want to shout," I am man! Hear me roar!" whenever I listen to this track. The title to the song is ,"Paradise Mix" by Vacationer. A couple of weeks ago I wrote introduced this band on [...]

Music: It Will Never Break Your Heart (My Tune World)

It's been a solid week since I've posted but I am now starting to balance my job, internship, friends, and now DSIMH. There's this feeling when you've been away from music for so long-in blog terms, of course-that is almost like you're not ready to dive full-steam into new music. You're just supposed to take it slowly. New artists or new tracks from old artists, new music is new music any way you look at it. Though, just I had started to want to blog about music again, I kept thinking about music itself as a whole and where it [...]

New Song! Blink-182′s “Up All Night”

New Song! Blink-182′s “Up All Night” Please don't tell me I was the only one dancing and moshing around when,"Up All Night" hit the airwaves?  I remember the first album I ever owned was Enema of The State.  The album was handed down to me by my sister who got the album from a guy who had a crush on her. Needless to say, My family and I grew up listening to the traditional Mexican music . I was tired of hearing the same beat on every song and resorted to giving Enema Of The State  a try. I was sold at the sound of [...]

What Would Happen If Waka Flocka Flame Really Stopped Rapping?

What Would Happen If Waka Flocka Flame Really Stopped Rapping? If you're up on your Twitter game, the latest tweets to make the headlines in the rap game is Waka Flocka's. Check what he had to say here: This game 2 fake I quite rap after this year Waka didn't seem to mention as to what exactly would cause him to Flame out of spitting verses and yelling into microphones, but he has his share of critics. There's the BET incident , the MTV incident , the Flocka-rant back in April, that whole thing where he thinks people are copying [...]

Happy Birthday, Tupac!

Happy Birthday, Tupac! Anyone who's followed the site knows I'm a huge Tupac fan . There's no surprise I would make a post commemorating the legendary rapper's 40th birthday. To be honest, I didn't really want to make a post, if you guys remember, when I listen to Pac it means it's my "alone time," my "Fuck off. Leave me in my own world" type of mood. Well, I just wanted to say one quick thing: fuck Dexter Isaac! I'd rather shy away from talking about Tupac Shakur's murderer, so happy birthday, Pac. Fun fact: After learning that Tupac [...]

New Track: Gym Class Heroes- Stereo Hearts ft. Adam Levine

Gym Class Heroes feat. Adam Levine - "Stereo Hearts"1080p HD
Furthermore, I apologize for any skipping tracks. It's just the last girl that played me left a couple cracks I used to, used to, used to, used to, but now I’m over that Cause holding grudges over love is ancient artifacts.

I'm guilty of doing this, but I know I'm not the only one who has done it either." Stereo Hearts ," brings the peace and embrace of moving on to that someone new. We all play the fool [...]

Compilation: The Ultimate Wale Playlist

Compilation: The Ultimate Wale Playlist Whether you know him as Ralph Folarin, Wale Kemp, Wale Ovechkin, Wale Knievel, or The D.C. Major, Wale RockWilder (My own name for him) is one of the dopest rappers in the game. I’ve been keeping an ear out for the D.C. native since The Mixtape About Nothing came out and have followed every track since. Wale is clearly a very poetic dude who puts every ounce into his music. He’s collaborated with some of the best in the game but his solo tracks remain the greatest. I’ve got more than 100 of his songs, so I wanted to share [...]

After A Stressful Day, Lay Low

After A Stressful Day, Lay Low I'm tired. I'm cranky. I'm stressed. And I'm in love with Lay Low. Lovisa Elisabet, known as Lay Low, is my country idol. Her music is a little country and a little folk. It gets me by these stressful days where I just need to lay low even though country and acoustic  folk aren't my listening norms. I first heard of Lay Low more than a year ago and I always make sure to give her music a listen once days get all muffy (I like making up words) like today. "Little by Little" and "Bye Bye Troubles" [...]

New Track: Bon Iver- Calgary

New Track: Bon Iver- Calgary "I just knew that what I was doing was extremely honest. It was all the things I wanted my music to be." Whenever I listen to music, I like to know the story behind the song. Reason is because we all go through the same things and music helps with coping with any situation. In other words, it helps me understand whatever situation I may go through, but let's not forget that we also listen to music to get ourselves hyped up for the day. I love their music not because it's gloomy but because it's [...]

Dear Mama: Happy Mother’s Day

2Pac - Dear Mama
Mother's Day is here and it's time to reflect back on all the wonderful things our moms have done for us. There's almost nothing that my mom hasn't done for me and I'm grateful for that. My family isn't the close-family type; we're more relaxed and go about ourselves most of the time, but we usually get together a few times out of the year. Mother's Day is that day we all just kind of hang around in the same room together and eat all some of the food my brothers and I bought my mom. It's funny because my [...]

I Just Want To Dance To . . .

I Just Want To Dance To . . . It's Monday, and for some reason I'm feeling super jolly. Maybe it's because me and the boys will be seeing Pac Div next weekend or that COACHELLA is only two weeks away! Anyways, all I want to do is dance to the Boys Like Us remix of OK Go's "White Knuckles." If you didn't know, this remix was orchestrated by none other than Rostam Batmanglij of Vampire Weekend. The track has been stuck in my head all day, and lately I've been wanting to get Dear Song in my Head back its original roots. We're not the [...]

Countdown to Coachella: Lil’ B The BasedGod

Countdown to Coachella: Lil’ B The BasedGod It's been a while since we've done a Countdown to Coachella post and I've been wanting to write about Lil B for a while now. Some of you may know how much I used to hate Lil B, and I don't mean just the "he's a whack rapper" kind of hate. I used to think he should not be allowed near a microphone or on Earth. But, things have changed. I still haven't listened to a FULL Lil B song but at least I respect this dude's craziness and his ability to capture his audience and fans even though those [...]

Spoken Truth: Me Against The World

Spoken Truth: Me Against The World I've been having a bad week. Just one of those weeks,  ya know?  And, it's not often I voice my displeasure with my situations, but today is different. I'm tired, shit just happened, and I want this week to be over. In case you didn't know, I listen to Tupac when I'm feeling the way I am right now . I'm not going to go on and discuss why I love Tupac or why I only listen to him when I'm like this. I started going through my playlist [...]
