My "Song of the Day" posts are cool and all but everyday (or whenever I do it) re-titling it "Song(s)" irks me for some reason. So on days when I have multiple songs I'll be doing these posts. Mix-Blogs you could call 'em. I'll run down my track-list of songs I listened to that day. Good? Good. So here, enjoy if you listen to one, all, or even just read what I listened to.

Listened to this whole album while I was showering and stuff today. Standout track till amazing to me. Lyrics are prefect for how I'm feeling on a day like this. Happy birthday dad, wish you were still here.
B.o.B- "Ghost in a Machine" from B.o.B. Presents: The Adventures of Bobby Ray
"Tell me where am I supposed to go?
And who am I supposed to believe.
If only you knew what I knew.
Then you could see just what I see.
[Chorus:]
So I grab my bags and go, as far away as I can go.
Cause everything ain't what I used to know.
And I try to hide, but I just can't hide no more.
There's nothing worse than feeling like a ghost.
You say I look fine, if only you knew what's on my mind.
You'd see a whole different sign, I couldn't show you even if I tried.
I must have got lost in time when I found out I was only free to be, where ever I want to be.
Some say I'm out of sight, how ironic and that we're all so blind.
If you could open up your eyes, you could see what I couldn't describe.
And then, you'd see the signs, and then your soul would be set free, and then you'd be released.
[Chorus:]
So I grab my bags and go, as far away as I can go.
Cause everything ain't what I used to know.
And I try to hide, but I just can't hide no more.
There's nothing worse than feeling like a ghost.
Tell me where am I supposed to go.
And who am I supposed to believe.
If only you knew what I knew.
Then you could see. (Hey)
[Chorus:]
So I grab my bags and go, as far away as I can go.
Cause everything ain't what I used to know.
And I try to hide, but I just can't hide no more.
There's nothing worse than feeling like a ghost.
And I'm terrified, like I've seen a UFO.
Cause everything ain't what I used to know.
And I try to hide, but I just can't hide no more.
There's nothing worse than feeling like a ghost.
(I go)
(A UFO)
(And I'm so tired of hiding, I've been running, I've been trying, to get away, to get away)
So I grab my bags and go, as far away as I can go.
This has been stuck in my head since I listened to B.o.B's new mixtape E.P.I.C. [Every Play Is Crucial]. There's a lot of mixed opinions on B.o.B and hid first album (The Adventures of Bobby Ray) which I liked, but his mixtapes has always been, for me, his best work. This is no different, and sampling an older, apparently unreleased, Eminem song (at least one I personally hadn't heard before) was genius. Bobby Ray and Em also hooked up for "Airplanes Pt.2" which is the better of the two airplane songs so you know they have chemistry. Amazing beat, great rapping by B.o.B. and Eminem sounds like Relapse Eminem. (I liked Relapse, sue me.) One of them tracks to just blast.
B.o.B. feat. Eminem- "Things Get Worse" from E.P.I.C. [Every Play Is Crucial]
"There's no need to say shit you already know
The question is just how far will this go
How far will he take it?
And when will he stop?
Shady man I done told you once homie to easy up
But you just won't listen will ya, nah I guess not
You just can't can ya, man I can't stand ya
You're rotten, what you plottin' for us?
Man when are you gonna let up
I guess things are gonna get much worse 'fore they get better"
