Music for the kiddies

Every month now I put up a handful of song recommendations on the English board in the English classroom at my work.  Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, One Direction, Carly Rae Jepson, and a few others are quite popular among my middle schoolers, but I really want to try to expose them to more music than just that.  I also want to try Kpop with them, ha ha, but that's probably an already hard-to-justify endeavor.

Anyways, I spend some of my down time at work browsing the UK's and US's top 40's charts and other music sites to keep up with what's popular and screen options for my recommendations.  There's a lot of music that becomes popular with the kiddies, but omg, some of that music is soooo inappropro for young teeny boppers.

June 2015 Playlist

I just ranted a bunch about how awesome I think Pentatonix is and stuff, but I do listen to other music, lol. So here's this past month's playlist of my current favorites.

If you like cartoon and video game music that's pretty upbeat, the following three is what I've been listening to and recommend.

Stronger than you
This song might just be okay out of context, but when I heard it in one of the final season episodes of Steven Universe, I was so captivated by the beat and Estelle's voice and how the song fit so perfectly in the scene that I couldn't stop jamming to it.

Que Sera Sera

A Crimson Rose and a Gin Tonic

Katamari music is just classic game soundtrack music to me. It's so relaxing and fun to listen to while showering or doing chores at home. It brightens up my day.
