Musical musings for January

The first month of any new year always seems to fly by too quickly. Although I shouldn't be disappointed by this because it means not only do I edge closer to warmer weather, but also to upcoming fun adventures. I think I am doing a decent enough job of not turning into a bear and hibernating through winter. However, there are two things that could happily keep me entertained inside for hours, ice hockey (so glad to have it back) and having way too many TV shows to watch. Television, including reality shows, is responsible for the majority of songs that ended up in my iTunes library this month. I have grown particularly attached to How I Met Your Mother with song number six on the list below playing during one of my favourite scenes of the series thus far:

1. Love Like Mine (feat. Hayden Panettiere) - Nashville Cast
2. Kiss You - One Direction
3. If I Knew - Bruno Mars
4. Suit & Tie - (feat. JAY Z) - Justin Timberlake
5. Home - Phillip Phillips
6. Let Your Heart Hold Fast - Fort Atlantic
7. Stutter - Marianas Trench
8. Stupid Boy (The Voice Performance) - Cassadee Pope
9. Why Ya Wanna - Jana Kramer

Clearly I am in no hurry to get over my One Direction phase. I think it is safe to say I am a fan of their music. Having said this, I don't think I would ever go to one of their concerts, but a concert I am going to is Marianas Trench in April. I am really excited to see them live especially as I now have so much of their music in my iTunes. Also, I have to say how nice it is to have Justin Timberlake back in the music biz. I am sure I wasn't the only one that missed him and his music.
