Pop Music

As I occasionally listen to pop music and usually enjoy myself.  I am seeing two district roads it is going down currently, today I will focus on the the adult alternative charts.  A song I am sure you are all familiar with, "I'm Yours" (video below) by Jason Mraz, currently holds the record for consecutive weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 charts with 76 week.  76 weeks  = one year and two months, that's a long time.  Well everybody knows its simple drum and upbeat reggae guitar riff.  Am I the only one to think that now other people are trying to ride his coattails, or is it simply becoming a popular genre?  Please listen to the song below by the hitmakers behind Drops of Jupiter and Meet Virginia, Train.  Did their style change to appease the masses after not having a hit in over ten years and will this become a hit?  Or am I completely off on thinking these songs are close?

Inaugural Post

Ever since I was laid over around a month ago, I have been thinking about starting writing a blog. Primarily because I have so much time and do not know what to do with it, jobs are scarce and money is tight. My goal in this is to share information on a variety of subjects such as music, movies, sports, pop culture. Eventually I want to find a focus for this experiment, but hold on for the next few weeks because it would be a bumpy ride. Once again I have no idea who the audience is going to be so for the moment im not going to write with any particular style. With that enjoy and welcome to the Z FILES!
