Ok, so I know there are only four songs, but trust me they don't disappoint!

Paper Tongues- Ride to California
First off, the louder this song is played, the better. Paper Tongues are a band from Australia, and to me are a mix of Beastie Boys and Rage Against the Machine with a dash of Bono like vocals. It's so in your face that you can't help but rub your face back into it. O_o If that makes any sense...it's a song you can get lost in the beat as well as the lyrics. It's grinding and gritty but catchy and inspiring all in the same package.

MiChi- Fuck You And Your Money
Don't let the title scare you. The lyrics are angsty and accusative, but MiChi's voice and appearance are so cute I almost can't take the song seriously, almost. She gives it a certain edge that's perfect for the "I'm going to get back at you" attitude of this song without making it too angry. It's also a very addicting song, and I prefer this version WAY over the original.

Brokenhearted- Yi
It's killing me that I can't remember where I got this song, but I really wish I did. I can't find out anything about the artist, and perhaps I may have gotten it from this rotation, and if I had, it deserves to be put up again. The artist's voice is so smooth and sexy, he matches the driving beat of the bass and draws out notes that makes me think he's saying, "You know you want me, come get me". I put this song on endless repeat, there's something about it's mysteriousness that intrigues me so much.

Royal Pirates- 2PM Again I Hate You Remake
I don't know much about the Royal Pirates other than they are a group out of California known for their rock remixes of popular Korean songs. I'm quite addicted to this though. It begins with a pulsing bass line that had my head bobbing right away. The vocalist doesn't have a strong voice, but it's gorgeous nonetheless. He can transcend through notes like it's nobodies business. The background tends to overpower him sometimes, but it doesn't stop me from wanting to listen to this song.
