This week we watched Nirvana's unplugged. Kurt Cobaine wanted the set to have a lot of flowers and bring on some of his good rock and roll friends. It looked like a funeral set and it was foreshadowing  his death. After his unplugged he killed him self not long after. I really enjoyed his unplugged. I thought he was a really funny guy. Though he seemed like he didn't want to be a rock star he had a lot of self doubt, and in class we all agreed that he never looked too happy. He played guitar really well and sang great. It was a good unplugged concert. 

So this week I got a spotify. What happened was I told my friend I would pay half to share with him and he said he would be a good friend and let me use it for free. I have the best friends ever, I have another friend that lets me use his Netflix. On my spotify I am finding out what my friend listens too ad also I am making my own playlist. And it is great. 

In class this week we listened to Nirvana's album Nevermind.  It was a really awesome album. There were a few songs that I knew that I loved that I didn't know who sang it. Like the song Smells like Teen Spirt. I love that song it is really good but there was a song that they played that was so bad. The guitar was all winey and it sounded awful. There was another song where it did that but it wasn't as bad cause it had a part in the song and it wasn't point less. There are 12 songs in this album and half of them were hits and made into videos. This album was like the thriller of the 90's.

This week me and my friend went and played at Mangia pizza place and were just messing around not trying to make money but we thought another time we could play our ukulele and guitar. He taught me how to play a little bit of a couple songs and we later jammed in the car to some radio station music and made plans for next time to play. We wanna go and play at Mangia again for money so if you see us playing give us a dollar or twenty. I have been learning how to play 3 songs this week. Like I Will Wait by Mumford, I am learning that song cause everyone knows it and if I wip out my ukulele everyone will know the song and I won't have to sing. 

This week we listened to Straight out of Compton and Ice Cubes album. 90's rap was a lot more vulgar then 80's rap. At least Ice Cube was. It was cuss word after cuss word. I enjoyed 80's rap day better but Ice cube was also good it was fun to listen to. Ice Cube is more modern and we hear it more in our music. We also listened to Beastie Boys. My favorite song by the Beastie Boys was shake your rump. I didn't know before that that song was by the Beastie Boys. It is a beautiful song and sometimes when I listen to it I like to shake my rump.

I went to a surprise birthday party for a friend and we played some music at the party. What happened was some girl had a crappy speaker and my friends and I got my friends truck that have 2 subs in it and we got everyone around his car and we were all dancing. But then the neighbors called cause we were too loud so my other friend had his speakers that was portable and he went back In the backyard and continued to party. What was weird was how many different genres were being played an how different people act when different types of music Is being played. Like we played some country and everyone was just singing along and when you play rap or dubstep everyone is dancing and when we played ice ice baby they do both. Music is awesome case it lets us express ourself. 

In class we listened to U2 on YouTube. The guitarist made a guitar from basically nothing it was pretty hard core. We also watched a movie and first saw was Billy Jole on the piano and he played with no electric guitar, two acoustics and a drum and a piano. We listened to Only the Good Die Young. It is an awesome song his voice is kind of raspy and it rocks. We watch a skit on What did I Say buy a deaf singer Ray Charles, and It was awesome and so funny. We didn't have much Time in class for music so we watched a lot of fun. We did watch Simon and Garfunkel play The Boxer and it was so good. I k or this song really well cause its on Mumford plays it and I like that too. 

So Mumford and Sons are coming to Austin on June 8th and 9th and I am Sooo pumped. A little of my personal life for you the timing of Mumford is crazy good time cause on June 8th it is me and my girlfriend will have been dating or a full year on that day. So it's pretty awesome....... But she is trying out for belles officers and if she makes it she has a belles officers camp on June 8th so that really sucks. Enough on my personal life I am dying to see them play and I am going to have the best I'm of my life. I know every song  they have soooooo I'm going to come back with no voice. And it is going to ROCK!!
