This blog is dedicated to a dear friend of mine, Louise Drager. We were inseperable in middle school and sadly drifted apart in high school. She decided she was done playing this game of life, and she will be missed immensely. I had so many memories with her and she was absolutely beautiful. And one of the funnest people ever, and hilarious. Without her, I wouldn't be the adventurous soul I am today. To you, Louise Drager. I love you forever and always, RIP.

Dynamic Duos
1. P!nk and Steven Tyler: "Misery"
This is the song that made me fall in love with P!nk's talent. Two bad asses singing a song sooo saturated with soul makes my heart melt to my feet. It makes me sad that this genre of music is a lost art, because this is SUCH talent, and such passion. I can't even stand it. Absolute perfection. My favorite duet of all time. Hands down.
2. Damien Rice and Lisa Hannigan: 9 Crimes
Probably one of the most bizarre videos I've ever seen. But a beautiful song. So it leaves it open to many interpretations. Interpret away viewers, interpret away.
3. The Civil Wars: "Poison & Wine"
Thank you to Erin Quinn for showing me this incredibly beautiful song and as well as you, it has been playing on repeat for about two days now. And still hasn't gotten old. Such a simple tune and lyrics, but gets the point across, making it perfect.
4. Ingrid Michaelson & Sara Bareilles: "Winter Song"
Psshh nevermind the title, I listen to this song year round! AMAZING.
5. Anthony David and India.Arie: "Words"
This is one of my favorite songs of all time, just sayin'.
6. Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova: "Falling Slowly"
I have no words.

Drinking Songs!
All you straight edge kiddos out there, beware. This music may persuade you to engage in some crazy shenanigans.
1. Atmosphere: "Party Over Here"
Such a classic/perfect interpretation of a party. Slug is a lyrical genius. If you listen to the lyrics he spits, I guarantee you'll wanna pop open a brew.
2. Hilltop Hoods: "What A Great Night"
I wanna party with these Australians. Straight UP.
3. Wallpaper.: #STUPiDFACEDD
Okay, so not the most talented song on the planet. But, it's hilarious. And you know you would love it if you had a few shots in you. It's our 2011 version of "SHOTS!" from our favorite talented group, LMFAO. This song will make you go buckkkk
4. MSTRKRFT: "Bounce (All I Do Is Party)"
Is all you do is party? Then this one goes out to you.
5. Start Trouble: "Let's Get Fucked Up"
A classic. Embarassingly, I know every word to this song.

Ridiculously strange songs that you'll grow to love
1. Clap Your Hands Say Yeah: "Satan Said Dance"
Listening to this song at first you will think "wtf am I listening to? This sucks!" but I promise, as you continue to listen, you will grow to like the stylistic messiness that say yeah embodies. Then you'll realize that the thought of Satan demanding you to dance is the best idea ever.
2. Izza Kizza: "They're Everywhere"
Git on tha flo have a frenzyyy, drink till ya throw up ya kidneyyy. Strange-ish?
3. CocoRosie: "Werewolf"

Welcome to thegenrebops.
Countless times I've had people go, "Emma, make me a cd!" and when this happens, I head straight away to my computer constructing what I believe to be well suited mix for that person. It's been a passion of mine forever sharing my musical findings to friends. There is no better high than blasting a song you found on your own that you are insanely obsessed with and have been putting on repeat for days. And the high gets even better when someone goes, "I love this song! What's it called?" So I decided, why not create a place where I can fulfill one of my favorite hobbies, while giving people catchy songs to listen to?
So here it is, I don't know how successful this may be. But for those of you who may need a good song to listen to when you are partying, or are a fan of completely bizarre songs, maybe even good songs to listen to while doing the dirty, anything or everything, that's what this blog will be about.
So get a comfy blanket, some good food, turn your headphones on full blast, and enjoy. :)
