Thanks to my sister

Thanks to my sister I have something to blog about. She gave me around 23 songs to listen to and I haven't listened to them all yet. The bands she showed me are imagine dragons, the lumineers, passion pit and a few others and she has some good taste. My favorites are radioactive by imagine dragons, and sleepy head and take a walk by passion pit. The passion pit songs are ones you can dance along to and good for parties. The beats just really good and up beat. Radioactive is good cause  the beat is slow and strong it's a good head banging song and fun to sing to. The other songs I have either already talked about in other blogs and don't have anything else to say about them or there just not that good.

In class we learned about The Band. At first I thought he was just saying a band and I had to keep asking a friend what the band he was talking about till I finally understood that it was the bands name and I feel dumb now. But first we listened to The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down and I really liked it. It is a great song I love the harmony in the song and its very catchy and amazing. This band was from Canada and they are so good they are a rock and roll band and sound country a little it's a little soul too. We got to see there live play on the Dixie song and it was so good cause they play with so much passion. It is very impressive that he can play the dumbs and sing cause that is so difficult. This band is so good and there other songs are really good too but the Night That Drove Old Dixie Down is just my favorite .

I have been listening to Imagine Dragons now and they sound like One Republic, which is good cause I like it a lot. I like there song called Demond's I like the change from the slow piano to both drums and a simple guitar playing. I also the song bleeding out and it starts out slow and dim and then it goes to a faster tempo and is really an up beat song. The last song that's my favorite is on top of the world and it is really a party song and a lot of people can sing to it cause it's just that type of song. The rest are just ok. Also they like to clap in a lot if there songs and that's cool. They are a pretty good band.

In class we learned the that rock and roll is more of something that is a rebellion of something.  Not just something with an electric guitar. Many things have electric guitars and are not rock and roll like an example in class was the Jonas Brothers they are not rock and toll. We listened to Jonny cash and his album that he played for the people in jail. He played there cause he use to in jail also. This album was recorded in the jail wile playing live. His third song is very short and his first song is really good I like the beat of it. And the in the forth song I like the tempo of it it's really fast and good  it talks about being in jail and about drugs and shooting the judge. Those where my favorite songs.

The first class this week we listened to Cream and I really didn't like there music at all. It just sound really bad and the last song was the worse. In some songs they sounded winey and you wanted to just turn it off. Not all the songs where bad but I didn't have a favorite. The next day we listened to the Beatles, and that was a lot better and this album is kinda all over the place but its really good. You still see the humor in the Beatles cause one song is making fun the people that think Paul was dead. They also made honey pie and that's really sort and weird but that's not the first time they have done something like that. I like the Beatles more than Cream. A lot more!

My music

I haven't listened to anything different this week, just so Mumford, some Modest Mouse, some dubstep in my car and that's all. But I am getting favorites in the rotations. In Mumford the song hopeless wanderer is my favorite cause they have a jam out on the piano and who jams on a piano not a lot of people and its really good. On modest mouse it is "one chance" it's so good the lyrics are so good and the drum beat is very simple but it just flows and thats what I have been listening to this week!

I have been listening to 2 new songs by Ed Sheeran. He is a good singer and my friend told me I would like him cause he is a folk singer and I do like his singing. The two songs I bought are The A Team and Lego House. The A Team clearly has drugs in it. It says " I would go mad for a couple couple grams" and not much later it says "in a pipe she flies to the mother land" and if that's not drugs the  I don't know what is. But the song is about a girl that has some problems and it just sings different problems. In Lego House its just about a guy and his girl and if things go wrong they can restart and if they go right they will continue. He's a good singer.
In class we listened to the Beatles egg man song and it is so trippy, but I love it, it has a good tone to it and the lyrics are funny and the back story is so weird. We also listened to there album Magical Mystery and its pretty good. My favorite song is All You Need is Love. This album has come a long way from the first album, there's a lot more sign of drugs, but not as much a rubber soul. This was their 10th album in 4 years that is crazy the Beatles are music maniacs!

Make up blog modest mouse

I just found a new band cause of my friend Dylan Roddy. It's a really folk type of band and I listen to it almost every day. Me and him traded music he gave me Modest Mouse and I gave him the new Mumford album (illegally).  It's one of the three things I listen to now (The Mouse, Mumford, and Taylor) I really enjoin there song one chance it has good lyrics and the tone of it is real good. I like modest mouse a lot and would love to see them in concert.

In class today we listened Jimmy Hendricks and I don't like his music as much as the Beatles. It's just not my style yo. I didn't really like any of the songs. I think it sounds almost like a bunch of instruments put together without any rhythm.  The song that was an instrumental with the creepy voice did not appeal to me at all. All in all I just don't like this album "are you experienced".
