Abbey Road

Also this week in class we listened to the Beatles album called Abbey Road,  I thought it was really good, but I think the white album is better. This album is more focused and the songs kind of relate to each other and sound similar. I don't think there was a weak song in this album,  they were all pretty good. I think my favorite song was come together, it was a really random song and didn't really make sense to me, but it sounded so good.

The White Album

In class this  week we listened to the Beatles White album, and I think its my favorite Beatles album we have  listened to. It was a very long album, it was like 3 times as long compared to there normal albums. There are so many great songs on this album, I thought the all of the first seven songs were amazing, I think my favorite is Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da. this album is all over the place, the songs are we random, but they are good.

Led Zeppelin

A couple of days ago in class we listened to one of the Led Zeppelin albums, I didn't really like it that much. I did like a couple of their songs, like Good Times Bad Times, but most of the songs felt really long and I didn't care for them much. I think there was too much guitar and not enough singing, and I also don't like guitar solos that much. Maybe if  was more singing I would like them better.  Also today in class we watched Led Zeppelin perform, and I thought the guitar solo where the guy used a violin strum thing was really cool, even though I don't ready like guitar solos that much, I did like some of theirs.

I blogged last week twice, so I'm only blogging once.

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.
