Thanks Mr. A

This class over the school year has been a lot of fun. It was nice to come to this class at the end of the day and just chill. I'm really glad I took this class, I learned a ton about rock and roll, events happening in the world, and about good food. I enjoyed listening to most of the music in class, but did not like the rolling stones. I'm sad your leaving, but happy that I had the opportunity to have you as a teacher and I loved listening to the stories about your life. I hope your album does well and gets the credit it deserves, and thanks for everything you taught me. Stay safe and try not to get hurt again.

Bleachers

I think about a week ago I was listening to the radio and a song that I had never heard before came on, and I really liked it, so I Shazamed it, the songs was I wanna get Better by the Bleachers. I really like the sound of the guitar and the drums in this song, and I think the singers voice sounds cool. The song is pretty repetitive, but I think it sounds good. I listened to some of their other music and I didnt like it that much.

Lauren Hill

 I enjoyed listening to Lauren Hill's album last week or so. I think I liked her music in thr Fugees better though. She is an amazing rapper and singer, its is ridiculous of good she is. She makes Niki Manaje's music sound like crap (but Niki does sound pretty bad to begin with). She has some pretty cool lyrics, I also think that one line where she raps about crapping on the microphone is really good.

The Fugees

I enjoyed when we listened to the Fugees in class. I thought they were really good, and they had really good lyrics that were very creative and had meaning, and they weren't too repetitive. I think I recognized a couple of their songs, but most I hadnt heard. Hopefully sometime soon when I have time, I will look up more of their music and download it.

Green Day

From the parts that I remembered I thought that the Green Day documentary we watched in class was pretty cool. Before watching this I didn't know to much about Green Day's music, but I had heard it before and I though it was okay. After this film, I started to appreciate their music more and I think they are a great band. I think they have some pretty interesting lyrics in their music. One of my favorite songs by them is Brain Stew.

The Who

I know earlier this year I blogged about The Who, however I recently started to listen to them again and felt like I should blog about them. I really like their music, and when I think of roll and rock the Beatles and the Who immediately come to mind. Both, the Beatles and The Who, are my favorite rock and roll bands. Some of my favorite songs by the Who are Pinball Wizard, Baba O'Riley and Who Are You. I hope we can listen to more of the Who before the test ends.

Testing this week

I feel like this week went by pretty fast with all the EOC's, and IB and AP testing. Luckily I only had to take the US history EOC. I also chose not to take the AP english test because I knew I would do very good on it, and it was nice not having to study for it. I do not like taking standardized tests, I feel like most classes that require standardized test focus on the test too much and go through topics to fast and not thorough enough. It is going to be nice going to AP classes after the tests, because it will be alot more relaxed.
