Get her in the mood!

We all know that music works to get women in the mood. Just check out any ugly musician that is walking to and from the concert with an armful of amazingly hot girls. This is easily the main reason why guys get into music in the first place. But is there a way to utilize this almost innate love of music to your advantage when making your playlist for that night’s date. The folks over at Men’s Health believe so.

In an article entitled “Create the Ultimate Sex Playlist,” they go through first why music works to turn her on:

How Music Turns Her On

A study by Canadian researchers earlier this year found that like sex, the music we love lights up the brain’s reward center. Dopamine floods this part of your brain both when you orgasm and when you hear a favorite tune.

So can music enhance pleasure during sex? “The dopamine rush from sexual experience completely outweighs and overwhelms anything that comes from music—it’s like a tsunami relative to a small little wave,” says Dr. Brizendine. That said, it could definitely start the waters moving during foreplay, especially for women, she says.

The rest of the article breaks down how to use this information and what songs need to be on your playlist depending on the type of girl you’re bringing home. Yes, you are going to want to click on the above link to get that information.

As you all know by now: when it comes to picking up girls, it’s all about confidence.  I compiled a list of a few songs that are perfect for listening to on your way to any bar, club, or party, where you plan on meeting your prey for the night.

Love the songs, hate the songs, love the artists, hate the artists.  The fact of the matter is: these songs will boost your confidence and are about you getting out there and getting the girl(s).

SOMETHING IN YOUR MOUTH BY NICKELBACK

Just got her back to your room?  Plan on getting some tonight? Throw these songs in a playlist and get the mood going.  Each of them are also pretty popular throwbacks, so aside from the subtlety of the playlist, it will definitely get her mind thinking dirty thoughts.  Just don’t overdo it with candles and all of that overly romantic stuff.  She’s a college girl, not a 50 year old widow from some novel looking for love.  These are subtle throwback songs to set the mood, crack a few smiles, and snap a few bra-straps.

We suggest: Talk her into getting a massage from yours truly and throw on this playlist.

SATISFY YOU BY P. DIDDY

Some guy grabbed your girlfriend’s ass, spit in your face,  or even jumped your friend… whatever the reason is you need to get pumped up for a fight. Well, here are a few songs that could get your heart pumping and your mind focused.

TILL I COLLAPSE BY EMINEM

This song makes you feel like your ready to go to war, with laser like precision and focus.

ROCKSTAR BY N.E.R.D.

This song is a personal favorite of mine, makes me wanna knockout a greasy-guido-steroid-enhanced-poser.

TWINZ BY BIG PUN

If your new school and don’t know this song, you better get on the Punisher. This song has the sickest flows with an OG feel.

FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS BY METALLICA

Metallica dude, nuff said!

LAST MAN STANDING BY PEOPLE IN PLANES

A definite contrast to those listed above. A easy feel song with powerful lyrics that will keep you focused but your nerves calm. Sometimes its not the best thing to get your heart pumping 10000 miles an hour.

ROCK BOX BY RUN-DMC

Here’s another one to get you feeling loco! Smooth beat to calm the nerves and Run drops a sick verse to get you amped!

HEADSTRONG BY TRAPT

You all remember this one. When it came on the radio you just felt like breaking something,.. anything! Awesome song to get the blood boiling and the heart rate going!

Hope this helps you come the big moment! Let us know what you throw on before you throw down!

Whats Popping??

AR: I’m blessed to be here. I’m doing real well fam.

I want to get some background info. Where are you from? What you reppin’, etc.

AR: I’m 21 years from Morrisville, Pennsylvania which is like where I developed most of my character. Right there in Western Pennsylvania. Just recently in December of ’07 I moved down to ATL and I’ve been spending most of my time there.

What is the name Asher Roth?

AR: That’s my birth name. Asher is my grandfather’s (my mom’s father’s) middle name. His name is Joesph Asher McConnell so that comes from him. It’s actually a Jewish name but it comes from the Scottish part of my family and not the Jewish part which is ironic. So Asher Paul Roth is my full name. First name Asher! You get that! LOL.

How do you feel you define yourself as a musician?

AR: I’m real about my music. I really have to be feeling it in order to write it. I’m just not one of those dudes that will do something because it’s a good business opportunity or whatever. I really have to be feeling that shit. When my music comes out that’s what I try to promote. It’s how music changes your emotions. You can feel it when you listen to it and that’s all I want. I just want to make honest music.

What are your motivations to succeed in the industry?

AR: I can’t really say that I’m money driven. It’s more of a respect and message thing. That’s what I feel is missing from hip hop and more than any genre of music it got turned into a quick buck industry. ……My motivation is to bring back some of that integrity to hip hop. That respect that it deserves. There are a lot of people that do this for a living and it’s their mark. And that is not what is being showcased. My motivations are not the dollar signs but it’s more love. I mean we all need money but to do something that you love and be able to uplift people is a beautiful thing. Also, I just wanted to travel the world some, meet some beautiful people and make some good music.

Ladies and gentlemen: it’s that time of month again (no, not that). The beginning of May usually means two things in a college student’s mind.

I. This is my last chance to party my ass off before I have to get a summer job.

II.  How the hell is my procrastinating ass going to study for finals.

There are various methods on how to study effectively.  Were going to break it down for you into the 4 different types of studiers, and the best musical remedy for those types.  Leaving you plenty of time for thought # 1 above.

Exhibit A: The “Silent” Type

We will begin with the “silent type”. This elite group of studiers needs no noise. They need the utmost silence and tranquility in order to effectively get done what they need to do. They know that if there were a television, radio, or laptop in front of them, they would find themselves enthralled by those vices. Ironically enough, these fucking bastards will be damn sure to read out loud in a damn college library (sometimes while covering their ears), which negates the concept of silence completely.

Exhibit B: “The White Noise Type”

They are unbiased, undifferentiated, and non-judgmental to any type of noise. Genres of music and preferences of noise go completely out of the window when it comes to this breed of cat. As long as some type of noise is in the background, it is completely fine. The backdrop accompaniment stimulates the mind to work a little harder. Think of it as it somehow letting you know that you are still alive and your brain is not quite numb as it feels. Sources of this white noise could be a running fridge, television, random music, or whosoever is in your household at the time. Personally, if I’m in a white noise mood, listening to a natural sounds track works really well. Or you can just open your window.

Exhibit C: The Picky Bastards

Third are the “specifics”. They are the once who listen to a specific type of white noise. Genres are another term to use. Even though all of these suggestions all vary with each individual, this seems to be the general consensus with most people. Genres such as hard rock seem to motivate you better than metal. Personally; I have found the song Aqueous Transmission by Incubus (this song is considered to be soft rock) very helpful in times of stress. Rap and hip-hop, in the most general sense, has that same effect as hard rock does. I’ve never heard of someone who listens to club music or techno during studying, so I am assuming it is not effective. If you have rap instrumentals or acapellas from you favorite artists and musicians, go right ahead. Light jazz music also does wonders as well, because it creates that soothing environment. (Greatly needed during this time of year)

Exhibit D: The “Classics”

Last but not least are the “classics”. Classics are the ones who indulge into classical music. There have been tests done with lab mice and it were the ones who were exposed to classical music who finished their mazes the fastest. Classical music speeds up the processes in your brain, plus, there are no lyrics to sit there and sing along to. Anything by Mozart, Beethoven, or Bach (which is proven to be the most successful and effective) should suffice. For a more modern approach, listen to just about any movie score if you cant seem to relate to the throwback feeling of listening to classical music. The Dark Knight OST by James Newton Howard and Hans Zimmer (who also did the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy, Lion King, Gladiator, and Simpsons Movie) is a good pick if you need a couple songs to start.
