MUSIC MONDAY 5.26.14

Hello!

I have A LOT to post this week, but I wanted to chat with you guys about a few things...

First and foremost, I hope you all had a great 3 day weekend! (as it is now over) :( Though, it is my 20th birthday tomorrow so I guess the party continues for me lol. I do believe I had the same feeling of getting old last year.. I'm not too sure how I feel about being on the planet for an entire 2 decades....very unreal..I'm so very thankful to wake up every morning healthy & happy.

Additionally, this Saturday is a HUGE deal for me. I will be departing for a summer internship in LA! I'm moving out there by myself and will be blogging all about my journey right here! So stay tuned for more in depth blogs and more to look through in general :) So watch out for those in the near future :)

Ok, That was it. Not too bad, right? Haha

Now, I hope you enjoy my picks this week :)

Now tell me which one you like better! ^ or v ??

On this note...PLEASE go check out all of the performances from BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend, which took place in Glasgow this year! So many amazing and talented artists to watch!

Happy CINCO de MAYOOOOO! Last week of school! One final Tuesday and one Thursday and I will OFFICIALLY be a JUNIOR!!!!!

hahaha okay, we NEED to have a little discussion about this past week in music though......there are no wordsss!

So the 2014 iHeart Radio Music Awards happened... and they were amazing! With performances by Shakira, Ariana Grande, Usher, and Pharrell Williams, there was a lot going on, and a lot of talent filling up that venue! I will include some performances below!

Anyway, here are my picks this week!

Enjoy :) 

I think this is a great new sound for them...not too much like anything I've heard from them in a while!

LOVEE

And then there was this:

ARE. WE. KIDDING?!?!?!?!?!? 

This track is the epitome of insane. This is Michael Jackson's vocals from 1983 remastered with vocals from Justin Timberlake as well.......so pretty much the definition of musical perfection----AMIRITE?!

Hello,

Alright, alright. As I am nearing the end of my Spring semester, I am really trying to push through an stay as focused as I can. I keep telling myself only 3 more nights of homework!...and then just studying for 1 final and writing 1 paper AND I'M FREEEEEE.....at least until next semester. :/ haha

Anyway, my music playlists right now are the only things keeping me sane, so, without waiting any longer, here are my picks this week!

Enjoy:)

Really love this<3

Okay, now I'm sure by now everyone has heard of Australian artist Iggy Azalea. Her music is just new, if you know what I mean. I've watched a few of her interviews, and you know when you just meet someone and think to yourself, "Wow, they're really cool," yea.....that's the case here. Here are a few of her songs, including the new single Ariana Grande dropped today! Really enjoying that right now too!

Hey everyone,

Today wasn't just another Monday on the calendar. Today marked the 118th Boston Marathon here in Beantown and it was obviously a special day in our city's history.

The city was filled with pride, respect, and resilience as runners ran 26.2 miles to the finish line located on Boylston St.

It was definitely emotional to be at the finish line this year, and even more exciting to cheer people on as they completed something so extraordinary. I will never forget some of the looks I saw from the runners as they took strides toward that line.

In honor of the marathon, here are some picks that I love running to!

I hope you enjoy them :)

Here are my picks this week!

And this would not be a proper music monday if I didn't include this RIDICULOUS cover of "Drunk In Love" by Mr. Ed Sheeran. Speechless. If you follow me on twitter (@MonicaMendoza1) you would have already seen this! Join the clubbb!
