Here are all of the Songs of the Week that were presented on my homepage in the past. I listen to quite a few different generes, but tend to stick to one for a week or two at a time; it may be intersting to see how my taste changes throughout the months/years.

"You Get What You Give" by New Radicals ~ Just a great vibe of a song! Listening to this one always gets me up dancing and singing. I likely had first heard this one when I was really little. Not sure how many, but feel like this song was in a lot of shows/movies. Don't forget, "You've got the music in you"!
"Derezzed" by Daft Punk ~ A song from the TRON: Legacy Soundtrack. I love Daft Punk and loved this movie as well. It's been a while since I've watched the original but want to give both movies a rewatch before the new movie (TRON: Ares) comes out. I think Kingdom Hearts II was what introduced me to TRON.
"Cumbias Chichadélicas : Peruvian Psychedelic Chicha" by Various Artists (Label: Pharaway Sounds) ~ Got more than one song again this week. This album is a collection of Peruvian Psychadelic Cumbia music. I love listening to Cumbia and Psycahdelic Rock, so hearing the Psych influences in the Cumbia music is super unique and inticing to me. I had listened to this album lots when I was going through University.
"Accidentally In Love" by Counting Crows ~ A song you will likely remember if you've ever seen Shrek 2! Counting Crows is an American rock band that started in the early 1990s in San Francisco. I enjoy a lot of their songs, and this is a gerat song for a geat movie; if you have never watched the music video I recommend checking it out, it's pretty strange/unexpected for someone who associates the song with Shrek.
"Studio Ghibli Bossa Nova" by Cafe Music BGMC ~ Not a single song this week, but a collection. This is a great cover of Studio Ghibli (some of my favourite movies) songs in a Bossa Nova style. I have been listening to this since late highschool, it is gerat to work and study along to. I also recommend to check out their other covers!
"Hook" by Blues Traveler ~ A Song that I remember hearing as a child, likely on the radio or perhaps through some show or movie. Blues Traveler is a group from New Jersey that started in 1987 with a blues and folk sound. I'm quite fond of this song - Great vocals and wonderful harmonica break. While writing this, I learnt that it uses a variation of the Pachelbel's Canon chord progression.
Here is a Live version from Howard Stern's 1996 Birthday Show!
"좋지 아니한가 Isn't That Good?" by Crying Nut ~ I can't recall exactly how I came across this one, I beleive I may have found it or the artist listed on another Neocities site. A South Korean punk group from the 90s, although this song is from 2007. Hearing how the music changes as they sing the Lyrics really gives a wistful feeling from the artist.
"Super Flower Blood Moon" by Songs I Wrote ~ I came across this artist on Social Media and really vibed with this song and its lyrics. I enjoyed it so much that I went ahead and bought one of their CDs from their store.
