Sunday Night Selections
Another Sunday Night, another list of songs. All is good in the world.
Rap/R&B
Gym Class Heroes - "New Friend Request"
A throwback track detailing the feelings that every Generation-Y male has experienced at some point and time. In a day and age of MySpace and Facebook, its surprising that this track sounds as if it was made in the late 80s. Its even more surprising that Gym Class Heroes uses all live instruments -- no samples or drum machines here. Definite winner of the five songs chosen here.

Rock
Blue October - "Hate Me"
A little old, but as I've said before, the well has run a little dry on rock songs. (Though to be fair, I'm sure there's a wealth of good rock songs out now, but I haven't had much time to catch up on my watching of fuse). The song is borderline depressing, yet it sounds as if its complimentative at the same time. I don't know. Either way, behind My Chemical Romance's "Helena" and Brand New's "The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows," its one of my favorite "leave me alone, I want to be all emo-y" songs.

Paris Hilton - "Stars Are Blind"
Fuck ya'll. All of ya'll. I can see you guys rolling your eyes already. Give it a listen, its really not that bad of a song. The girl can't suck a dick but apparently she can carry a tune.

Chris Issac - "Wicked Game"
This is a first. This song was actually requested to be in SnS. The requestee didn't request it because its such a sultry song with a hot video. They requested it because they were suprised that Chris Issac is still alive. He was definitely spotted on The Tonight Show w/ Jay Leno earlier in the week singing...you guessed it, Wicked Game. $2 to someone who can name another Chris Issac song without using any outside resources.

Remix
Busta Rhymes ft. Ol Dirty Bastard - "Woo-Hah! (Got You All In Check) (Remix)"
From the depths of 1994 comes this forgotten remix. This was back before Busta was doing tracks with the Pussycat Dolls or telling us how much he loves his bitch. Only thing he did back then was tell us that the world was going to end in 2000 (read the liner notes of all his CDs...for that matter, just read the names of his first 3 albums. Interesting gimmick). The pairing of Busta and ODB isn't one I can't say that I would have thought up, but it works flawlessly as the two share a very similar rapping style. Solid track.
