Cristian

I think most of the class would agree that the music Cristian played was pretty bad, but I think he also just played that to piss off the sub, and to be funny. However, I think that he has a good taste in music and I also like alot his music I've heard him play outside of class. There have been some times where he has introduced me to music I haven't heard that I started to like. We both kind of enjoy similar music, like music by Sublime.

Rhyme and Punishment

I thought that the Rhyme and Punishment  was pretty interesting and cool. It was really funny listening to the white narrator pronounce the names of the songs and rappers. If what they were saying was true, or not exaggerated too much, then they went thru some messed up things. One example is the guy who got arrested for having a gun in his car, andthe police offered him a shorter term if he planted a gun in 50 Cent's car, I thought that was crazy. Prison must suck, your isolated, almost always at risk of danger, and most importantly the food is horrible.

Sublime

Recently I have been listening to alot of Sublime's music, and I think its really good. I really like the sound of the drums and guitar, and the lyrics are very creative and not very repetitive. Some of my favorite songs by them are Santeria, What I Got, and Caress me Down. Some of their music sounds kind of like reagee, Caress Me Down is an example, but most of their music just sounds like rock and roll. I really like the variety of music they have, I think it all sounds pretty good, most of their songs don't sound very similar and are different from each other.

Ramones

This week in class we listened to some of the Ramones music, I thought that it was pretty good. I have definitely heard some of their music before, but I never new who the music was by, and I don't think that I would have classified them as being punk. One of their songs reminded me of my childhood. When I was younger, I use to love Jimmy Neutron, and in the Jimmy Neutron movie the song that says hey ho lets go is played when all of the adults have been obducted and the kids are running around partying. Now that I think about it, the music suits that scene of the movie very well, because the music is punk,  and the children are rebeling against their parents doing everything they we not allowed to do.

Beatles Concert

This week, I think on Sunday or Monday, I watched most of a Beatles concert that just recently was performed on tv. Paul and Ringo were the both performing, they each played separately with their own bands, some random bands covered some of the Beatles songs, and at the end of it Paul and Ringo performed together. I thought it was awesome, it was really cool seeing them played since they are now so old. I noticed that their voices have changed a little bit, I still thought they sounded great. It was ridiculous how many famous people that went to it, I think every time the camera went to the audience I could recognize at least one person. It was also really funny seeing John Lennon's Asian wife dance.

Kevin's music

Kevin played Chain Smoker by Chance the Rapper, I really liked the song, it sounded pretty cool. It had a good beat and the lyrics were interesting, creative and weren't too repetitive. Another song Kevin played was Threatz by Denzel Curry, I thought it was okay, the beat was good, but the lyrics were repetitive and I didn't like the way it sounded.

The Winter Olympics

One of things I've been looking forward to this year is the Winter Olympics, and now its finally here.  I'm sad that Russia hasn't done a good job of preparing for it, and I hope it doesn't take away any of the greatness from Olympics. Its ridiculous that some of the hotels don't even have drinkable water, and there are also random stray dogs walking the streets. I like the summer Olympics better than the winter, mainly because I really enjoy seeing the soccer and track events, and also in the winter Olympics you have curling which is really boring to watch. However, the Winter Olympics are still awesome, its amazing seeing all the countries coming together and competing against one another.

Super Bowl- Red Hot Chili Peppers

This week in class we talked about the Red Hot Chili Peppers lip syncing there music and not even trying to hide it at the super bowl. Even though I haven't listened to much of their music I'm still kind of mad that they did that and that they didn't take the effort to hide it. I think lip syncing is stupid and there is no point of having a band there if they aren't even going to play. I think they are still a great band but now I think a little less of them.
