WO: Weekly Obsessions
George Zimmerman has a girlfriend and Adam Levine is People‘s Sexiest Man Alive? My friend Kaley said it best — the world is going insane. What’s a girl to do when everyone else seems to be losing their mind? Earbuds in, music on, disappear from society. Here we go:
- SNL – “Worst Cover Songs of All Time”: This season had its hits and misses, but I cannot stop watching this hilarious infomercial for awesomely bad cover songs. Nathan Lane takes the cake by far!
- AcaBelles – “Royals”: I still haven’t seen “Pitch Perfect” (the horror!) but these ladies from FSU straight up kill Lorde’s song. Now, how do I do that mouth-drum thing?
- Phillip Phillips – “Gone, Gone, Gone”: I didn’t think this horribly named young man could do any better than last year’s smash single, “Home.” Boy, is my face red. Let’s just say obsession is putting it mildly here.
- Avicii – “Wake Me Up”: Full disclosure: I confuse this song with ol’ Phillip squared on a regular basis. The key difference? This one gets me pumped like none other.

Get Ready for This Year’s Best Soundtrack
Yeah, I said it. A friend shared this playlist with me last week, and I’ve had it on repeat ever since.
It starts with JAY-FREAKING-Z.
There’s a glowing hit from stellar bands like Florence + The Machine and The xx.
And covers of “Back to Black” and “Crazy in Love” (Hint: Only one features Beyoncé … choose wisely).
Put it on, and just try and tell me you don’t love it.

Well-played, Baz Luhrmann. Well-played.
