GTA V

Recently I have been playing a lot of Grand Theft Auto five, and its amazing. While driving cars in the game you get to pick out what kind of music you listen to, and I think that the music for the game is very good, they have many types of music and its all of good quality. The maker's of the game hired professional artist to create some of the music. When I am driving I always go to the west coast classics channel,  which is all rap, and most of the songs are by Snoop Dog, 2Pac, Dr. Dre, and N.W.A. I feel like this rap music really goes well with the game as you are committing crimes and killing people. I think all of the Grand theft auto games have had pretty good music, but this music has especially stood out.

It Might Get Loud

Today in class we watched another movie called It Might Get Loud, I thought that it was an okay movie, it would have been better if I had more of an interest in guitar and understood how to play it. I thought that it was really cool learning how many different ways they could tune their guitars to make sound a certain way. I liked some of the music the youngest person of the three guys played, but most of it I though was bad. I thought that the two oldest guys were really good and I liked sky of their music. At the end of the movie listening to all of them play together was awesome.

Concerts

I have never been to a concert in my whole life, I think that the main reason I haven't been to one is because I've just been to lazy to actually buy a ticket. I don't really listen to music that much outside of the music class, so I don't really have that much of an interest in going to concerts, and I haven't been looking for concerts to go to. I don't really like being in big crowds, and I haven't ruined my ears yet from listening to really loud music. Next year I might go to ACL because it has many different artists and types of music. I'm sure I'll eventually go to a concert.

Magical Mystery Tour

This week in class we listen to another Beatles album, the Magical Mystery Tour, I thought that is was really good, at least the part we listened to. The second half of the album was amazing, there were so many good songs, like I am a walrus,  Penny Lane, Baby you're a rich man and All you need is love. The movie/music videos, were pretty weird but interesting.

Sgt. Pepper's

Today in class we listened to another Beatles album called Sgt. Pepper's and I thought it was good, there were a lot of songs in the album that I really liked,  but there were also songs I didn't care for. I really liked the first song, Lucy in the sky with diamonds, Getting Better and when I'm sixty four. I think that Pet Sounds was a better album, but this was still really good. I also thought that all of the animal noises at the end of the album were really cool because they were honoring Pet Sounds.

Pet Sounds

This week on Wednesday we listened one of the Beach Boys' albums called Pet Sounds, I thought that it was really good. Their music sounds awesome, their voices good and I like the beat and sounds of the instruments they use. I'm not surprised that the Beatles felt like this album outdid theirs. I think that I still like the Beatles more the Beach Boys, I don't think that I have listened to enough of the Beach Boys though, maybe after I listen to more of the Beach Boys I will like them over the Beatles.

Revolver and Rubber Soul

Today in class we listed to two of the Beatles albums, Revolver and Rubber Soul, they were a lot different than their previous albums, but they still were good albums. The first song in rubber soul sounded like a normal song by the Beatles, then second song was still about a girl but it was a lot different because the girl was the dominant figure, and the rest of the album just got weirder and weirder. I liked Revolver, I thought  the use of the sitar was really cool. I think that Yellow Submarine is a really good song, it was interesting hearing Ringo sing and the song is really catchy, I don't know why half the class didn't like it.

Cat Stevens

This week, in film analysis we watched Harold and Maude, and it was a pretty weird movie but surprisingly I liked, I think because it was funny and interesting. The movie is about a teenager who lives in a rich family, and he is constantly is doing fake suicide attempts and has no friends, one day meets this crazy old lady and befriends her and eventually falls in love with her. Many of Cat Stevens songs are in this movie, and his music sounded really good, so I went on YouTube and listened to a lot his music. He has a really good and cool voice and his song lyrics are meaningful and interesting. Hopefully I can find some more music by him.

Music on the Radio

Music on the radio is pretty bad, sadly I have to listen to in my car because I have been putting off getting an ox chord for the past year. Half the time the radio stations are on commercial, and when they're not on commercial they are playing some annoying repetitive song that always seems to be playing. If I actually hear at least one song that I like, I'm pleased. Maybe I'll go buy an ox chord.

The Beatles' movie Help

In class on Tuesday,  we watched another Beatles movie called Help, and I didn't think it was as bad as most people in class said it was. The movie was a lot different compared to the other Beatles movies we've seen, I think it felt different because it was in color and the plot was ridiculous. I didn't understand most of the jokes that were happening, but I'm sure the people who watched it, about 50 years,  thought it was really funny. I liked the music that was being played in the movie, and I thought it was cool how some of the background music in the beginning sounded like James Bond and the Beatles' music mixed.
