Personal Opinion:
Jamie T was showed to me by a friend who is actually British to which I found that was very cool and the first song she showed me was Sticks 'n' Stones, that song took my attention instantly and I quickly became sort of obsessed with his songs especially from his album "Kings and Queens". I later found out that I had actually heard Jamie T before in a remix he had done of "Kids with Guns" for Gorillaz. Easy to say that it took a pretty long time for me to stop hearing his music in repeat because his songs just seemed to make me extremely happy, also love how diverse his music is from hyper, fast beat songs to more grounded, slow and serious songs, he has climbed his way to become one of my top favorite artist to the point of collecting his albums and waiting patiently for him to go on tour so I can travel to see him live, so for sure give this guy a listen, you might find at least one song that catches your attention or hell a whole album he is really that good.

Blue Mountain State is a very raunchy series that spawned its own movie "Rise Of Thadland" the humor in both the series and movie might not be for everyone but even so both have a spectacular selection of music in their soundtracks, they always manage to capture with specific songs whatever is going on in the scene; from raunchy, cringing, funny, sad or straight-out super party the song always goes perfectly with it. In here we're talking specifically about the song "1234" by " Wallpaper " that plays out during the big party scene in the movie, this song perfectly describes the ambience in the party and pumps you up to go party yourself.  Here you have the song: Alternative Link
