Going to War

One of the subjects we got off topic and talked about was going to war. I think that alot of wars could have just been avoided if people just talked over the problems. I would never want to fight in a war, I would be way to nervous and scared, knowing that I could die any minute. If I did go to war I would want it to be for a good reason. I agree with what Gavin said, I would not mind having women or homosexuals in the army as long as they do their job.

The Grammys

I didn't really watch too much of the Grammys, but I did see Taylor Swift, Kendrick with the Imagine Dragons, and saw I Macklemore get best rap album of the year. Taylor Swift's performance was pretty good, it was kind of funny seeing her swing her head back and forth, and I thought that Kendrick's was very good and unique. I don't think that Macklemore should have won, to me, his music is more pop or hip-hop than rap and there were plenty of better rap albums that could have won. I think there is a ton of really good music that isn't represented at the Grammy.

Eminem

Recently I have been listening to Eminem's newest album, and I really like it. There are so many good songs and its great. One of my favorite things about this album is the background music, some of the songs background music comes from other songs but remixed, an example is Love Game, its basically a remix if Wayne Fontana's sing called game of love. Its also amazing how fast that he can rap. Some of my favorite songs in this album are Survival, So Far, Love Game and Berzerk.

Big Star Movie

This week in class we watched this movie about band that should have been famous, but wasn't. I thought the movie was okay, it was interesting and cool to learn about,  but at some points it got kind of boring. The music that Big Star produced was actually pretty good, and there were a couple of songs I really liked. I think that maybe it was better for the band to not to become famous for a while, because they were able to make some really good music not interfered with by anyone else but the band themselves. I also thought it was cool how they influenced do many other bands.

Wayne Fontana

Recently I discovered some of Wayne Fontana's music, and I really like it. I was listening to one of Eminem's songs called Love Game, and I like that song alot, and I learned that the background music in Eminem's song was from Wayne Fontana's song called Game of Love, so I listened to it and it was really good, which led me to listen to more of his music and I ready liked it. I thought the sound of tambourine in the songs was really cool. I think I like Wayne Fontana's version of Game of Love better.

Led Zepplen 2

This week in class we listened to the Led Zepplen 2 album, and I didn't like it that much. I had previously heard some of the songs on the album, but I didn't recognize most of the songs. I thought that a couple songs were good, one of them was Iron Man. I think that most of the songs were too long, and at points it sounded like they were just randomly beating the instruments. I also didn't like the long guitar solos that much. I think I liked the first Led Zepplen album better.

Music I listened to over the break

Over Christmas break I had to drive to east Texas and it was about a five hour drive, and during that time I mainly just listened to music and slept. During the drive I think I listened to 5 of the Beatles albums, Abbey Road, the White Album, Help, Please Please Me, and With the Beatles. The Beatles music was entertaining and I think that all of those albums are very good. After I listened to just about all of the Beatles music I have, I started to listen to a bunch of random music, I listened to music by The Who, Eminem, Beck, Kid Cudi and lots more.

Mr. A's Album

Today in class we listened to Mr. A's album, and I thought it was really good. I think many of the songs sounded like the Beatles, and I really like the Beatles, so I thought the songs sounded really cool. I really liked the sound of his voice, and I thought the background music was awesome. Hopefully we can listen to more of his music in class.
