A Hard Day's Night Movie

In class this week we watched the Beatles movie called A Hard Day's Night. I actually enjoyed watching this movie, I liked that all of the songs in the movie were by the Beatles. I really like the songs they preformed,  most of them I had heard before but a few were new to me and I though they were good. I also though it was funny,  I got most of their humor. I found it interesting how humor changes as the years go by. I enjoy learning about the Beatles.

Kid Cudi- Man in the Moon

This week,  I have been listening to one of Kid Cudi's albums called Man on the Moon. I really like this album, I enjoyed listening to almost every song, almost all of them very good.         His songs don't have to much repetition of the same lyrics like most popular songs on the radio now a days. Kid Cudi has become one of my favorite rappers, looking forward to listening to more of his music.

With the Beatles

In class on Wednesday we listened to one of the Beatles' albums, With the Beatles. I really liked this album, it was cool how they sang some Motown songs. I really liked the song You really got a hold on me, it won't be long and hold me tight. I can't decide which version of "you really got a hold on me" better, the Motown or Beatles,  they are both really good. Looking forward to listening and learning more about the Beatles.

Motown

In class on monday we listened to and learned about Motown. Surprisingly I enjoyed most of the music, their music is very catchy, it got stuck my head. Some of the songs I really liked were "You Really Got A Hold On Me"and my girl. I'm looking forward to finding and listening to more Motown.

The Beatles Movie

In class on Tuesday, we watched a movie on the Beatles, I thought that it was very interesting and cool. It's amazing how popular they were.  I'm surprised that they could perform with all of those people yelling super loud,  it was ridiculous. I liked how the video showed what they did when they weren't performing. Watching this video made me like the Beatles more.

The Beatles

Today in class we listened to the Beatles' first album Please Please Me and looked over all of their album covers. I prefered the album covers that were more colorful and happy, some of their covers were pretty interesting. I really enjoyed listening to the album, I liked almost every song, I though that the songs that originally written by the Beatles were better, but I also really like twist and shout. The more we learn about the Beatles the more I like them.

What I'm Listening to

Recently I have been listening to The Verve’s album Urban Hymns, I discovered their songs from my brother’s music and I think its okay. A decent amount of the songs on the album aren’t that good, and their voices can be sort of monotone and boring. But the songs that I actually thought were good were really good, I really enjoyed Bittersweet Symphony and Lucky Man, Bittersweet Symphony is one of my favorite songs now. Hopefully I can find some more good songs by them.

Elvis Presley

Yesterday in History of Rock and Roll we learned about Elvis Presley. Prior to class, I really didn’t know much about Elvis, I knew that Elvis was one the greatest musicians ever, he died on the toilet, and I had heard some of his songs and thought that his music was okay, but overrated. I learned that Elvis’ type of music was very new to the people of his time and that they didn’t know what to think of his singing and hip thrusting, no one had ever experienced the way he preformed. I liked some of his songs we heard in class and I still think he is overrated but I understand why so many people admired his music.
