In class we listened to Paul Simon's album. I didn't like him that much his music didn't feel like there wasn't a lot of feeling and drama kind of in it. I don't like his voice it was nasally and it got annoying. His lyrics are great though and Very creative. What I liked more was watching the U2 video when they played on the roof. I have found that most of U2's music I know and have loved it but not know who it was. I liked U2 because the songs we listened to were upbeat and awesome.
So the question was asked in our class what would be played in our 10 or 20 year high school reunion. And what I would want to be played is some Mumford and Sons cause I think when I will hear them I will think of high school. There one song, I will wait, might be played it is played on the radio. What will most likely be played is dubstep and thrift shop. It is hard to tell what is big now and "will go down in history," but personally for me it will be some modest mouse and some Mumford and Sons. Maybe a little thrift shop.

My sister bought a new album by Ellie Goulding and it was a great album. My favorite songs are Every time you go, Lights and The Writer. The only song that I think has really good lyrics is from the song The Writer, it has meaning in the song. The other songs just feel like it has meaning cause it is sung really well and with passion but mean nothing. Most of her songs are slow passed and really good. But a couple songs have been remixed and turned into up beat and awesome party songs and are fun to listen to and some songs are better remixed then the original like lights is so much better remixed. But it is a great album and fun to listen to.
In class this week we listened to the album Thriller by Micheal Jackson. It was a awesome album all of his songs on it were singles except one and there of them where number one at some point. We watched Micheal Jackson from when he was little till his weird music video Billy Jean and that made no since. But that was my favorite song in the hole album. We saw some songs where he did his dance moves like the moon walk. The next day we had a hair metal day an that was pretty bad. It was a bunch of dudes dressed funky and they jumped around like girls. The song that I knew the most was sister Christian. On Friday we watched music videos of old time rappers and that was my favorite of the week.

In class this week we listened to some disco. First we listened to and watched Stayin alive and it is a great disco song I think. We watched some break dancing by beat street . Break dancing is so much work my friend is learning how to break dance and he said its a lot of work. But then we listened to so really good disco like chic The Freak I don't know what the song is called I think that's it and the other song we listened to that I liked was funky town. We also listened to so punk and the first punk song we listed to the guitar was the most annoying thing in the world. But then we look led at some 05 or 06 punk and it was pretty similar. We listened to a bass solo by Stomp and that was probably the coolest thing we watched this week. My favorite type of disco we listened to was the funk disco. Most all the songs we listened to I knew cause of my mother she is a disco freak and 80's freak. But it's ok because I like 80's and disco.
I'm my theater class we got to show everyone 20 seconds of our favorite songs. It's really cool cause we get to show people what type of music we like and get to learn other people's personality and also other types of music. I got to learn that one of my friends like the same music as me and we now jam together. What she ha was a lot of imagine dragons and she showed me new songs and I really liked them. She also liked all the Mumford songs I showed her and had some of her own. I showed her the song that I can play on the ukulele and this week me and Dylan are going to play our ukuleles this spring break and rock out

In class this week we listened to the police. My favorite song by the police is Roxanne. What I like about the song is many things. What I like most though is the drum beat. I also like how the instruments would be playing then just stop and he would sing without any instruments. The next song I don't know the name of it but it is a good song it is a real steady beat and a great jam. We also listened to another band and there name was the Talking Heads and The Clash. I liked Clash for its song "should I stay or should I go" remember hearing that song when I was smaller but didn't know the artist was Clash witch is a English punk band. I don't think that clash was as good as the Police. I just feel like the Police is something that I would listen to more of then The Clash.
My friend Sarah a freshman has introduced a new album of Imagine Dragons that I didn't know was out. It is a pretty good album but the song from that album that I listen the most to is Round And Round. What is so good about this song to me is the hard strumming from the guitar, it is kind of like Mumford and Sons in that since. Also the drum beat and the singing that Imagine Dragons always have. The lyrics to this song is also fantastic. What I have also decided to do is learn all of the songs of Mumford and Sons cause whenever I here there songs I always think to my self that I wish I could play that and now that I have a ukulele I can. So my plan for this summer is to learn to play all of there songs.
