Let's Talk About the Best Album of 2019

Happy New Year's Eve! Its the last day of the year and the last day of the decade (2009-2019). I thought I'd talk about my favorite album of the year. I would have done if the decade but I couldn't choose one.

This year has been such an amazing year for music. I thought 2018 couldn't be topped, but I was so wrong.

My choice for best album of 2019 is Machine Gun Kelly's Hotel Diablo.
This is my most played album of the year. Its SO good. I love it so much. Its full of bops and it hits home for me, personally.

This year has been hard regarding family. I very much related to alot of the subject matter on this album. I won't do a track by track because then the post will be way too long but if you're interested in my Kinda Review of it let me know.

I'm not the biggest fan of rap. I listen to Kendrick Lamar and Childish Gambino mostly. I was never into MGK. Even when all the stuff with Eminem was happening I didn't pay him any attention. However, I watched The Dirt because I love Motley Crüe and Douglass Booth. I loved MGK's portrayal of Tommy Lee - whom I used to have the biggest crush on.

My younger brother told me about MGK's new album which literally dropped a few days before I watched The Dirt. I decided to give him a chance. I fell in love with Hotel Diablo after my first listen. I didn't even fall in love with Pray for the Wicked that quick. But this album speaks to me.

I relate to feeling betrayed by family. Feeling suicidal and lost. Like there's no way out. I love the short tracks where they're just fooling around in the studio. "A Message from the Count" is ICONIC! We stan Pete Davidson in this household.

I love the rock undertones on this album. If you know me, you know my main music genre preference is everything under the rock umbrella. I don't always like rock and rap mixes, but it works on this album.

My favorite song off the album is "I Think I'm OKAY" with YUNGBLUD and Travis Barker. That song was the final push I needed to finally get into YUNGBLUD. Its a great song. Its catchy. This year has been hard on my mental health but this song has been a pick me up.

If you haven't listened to the album, I highly recommend it. Sure MGK has made mistakes in the past but give him another chance.

As my last post of 2019, I want to wish you a Happy New Year and to a successful 2020 full of good mental and physical health and happiness. We all need happiness. Thank you for supporting my blog this year. You don't understand how much I appreciate it.

Hopefully I get WiFi back in 2020.

Why Blue is the Real Villain of Blue's Big City Adventure

Okay, so maybe "villain" isn't the right word. Blue is more like the antagonist. This post is about the Blues' Clues & You movie Blue's Big City Adventure. So there will be spoilers. If you have Paramount+, it's only an hour watch. I promise it is worth the watch if you have watched Blue's Clues in any capacity. Blue's Big City Adventure poster If you were born in the 90s or early 2000s like me then you most likely watched the original Blue's Clues show hosted by either Steve (Steve Burns) or Joe (Donovan Patton). I have an older and a younger brother, so I got to experience both. However, MY host was Steve, and I am a Steve fan til the day I die. I have Blue's Clues & You playing in the background as I write this post because I realized I haven't watched a single episode of the new series despite watching the movie 6 times. I cannot stress enough how much I love Blue's new design. She looks so much fluffier. The original Blue...

Fangirl Friday: Deleasa

 Heyo! Happy Friday! It's that time of the week when I ramble about someone I love! Today's subject is DJ and producer, Deleasa. His name is Mike Deleasa and while I normally refer to my subjects by first name in these posts, I will be referring to him by his stage name, Deleasa. NOW to understand how I became a fan of Deleasa, we have to go all the way back to 2012, when Kevin and Danielle Jonas' reality show, Married to Jonas  premiered. I bet you're wondering what does this guy have to do with the Jonas Brothers? Deleasa is actually Danielle's brother, making him Kevin's brother-in-law. He was featured in the reality show and I ended up falling in love with him. He was actually my parasocial "rebound" from Joe. You can read all about my parasocial breakup with Joe in my Fangirl Friday about him . But enough about the Jonas Brothers. That's not why we're here. Plus I've already written 30k words about them on this blog. However, I am for...

That Time Rod Stewart Found Other Ways of Doing Cocaine

 Heyo! Happy Monday! This week's That Time... is a doozy. If you're a classic rock fan or a fan of Rod Stewart, you probably know exactly what this post is about. This one is a short one, but an interesting one. So bear with me. Of course need to put a warning about drug use. There are plenty of other posts that you are more than welcome to check out if this isn't your thing. If you are unfamiliar with Rod Stewart, let me introduce you to the ICON! He's a rockstar who also has a few pop bangers. I grew up with his music and can't remember a time in my life without his music. The first song I think of when he pops into my head is "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?" . I know it's the most basic song of his, but I have fond memories listening to the song on the radio when I was a kid. He's also dabbled in a few bands, but I am more familiar with his solo work than his bands. Though check out his band, Faces. In 2012, Rod released his autobiography, Rod: The A...
