KATIE JANE: DROPPING THAT MIX TAPE

100% of the time I am either listening to a song, singing a song, or have a song stuck in my head... not to mention I speak fluently in song lyrics.

if you know me, you know that music has always been a huuuuge part of my life. i danced for 10 years, i've played the violin for as long as i can remember, and i spent my childhood singing every song i heard and making up my own as well. hahahaha don't ask.

it's almost like music has some kind of weird power over me. it has a way to tap into my emotions. a good song can instantly make me happy on bad day. a little usher can pump me right up before a game. and there's no better feeling then spitting every verse of a rap when you're feeling gangsta rappy.

as well as overall loving music, I also live alllllllll the music. every genre. all of it. (ok so some screamo is kinda weird..but you get what i'm trying to say). i like everything from hannah montana to alt j to inreka inglesias. oh and I also dig somma that country stuff. sue me.

my favorite thing in the world is finding a new music. its like that feeling you get on christmas morning. a song comes on your pandora...you freeze, listen to it for a sec, fall in love, and then listen to it over and over until your family and friends want to kill you. yep, its true love folks. (if you ever find a good song... consider it mandatory to hmu and tell me about it. thanks!)

so today, as my blessing to this musically challenged world, i give the gift of some good songs from yours truly, DJ K80. if you don't like any of these songs, thats ok. you probably have good music taste too. and thats the cool thing about music. everybody's taste is different, but it's ok music is purely based on opinion. you might think someone's music taste is horrible, but you like your music and they like theirs, so everything is good.

these are some of my favorite songs off of the top of my head (yeah i know what you're thinking...thats a ton of music to have on the top of your head..but like i said, music is life.)

i did my best to keep most of the songs clean (which really limited my options lol) but no promises.

* country content lol
