Recently I have been listening to the radio more than the continuos tracks on my phone. It's a nice change, but also a big one. I never thought I'd go back to listening to 96.7 yet here I am attempting to dance to Blurred Lines by Robin Thick.
My favorite so far has been Lorde. I don't know if it's the beauty of her voice or physical appearance that intrigues me so much, but I just love everything about her. Of course I'm going to say my favorite song by her is Royals because it really is. I can't remember the other song, I'll add a link if I do. But it's like talking about how she doesn't come from a rich past but still made the best out of everything and still is. I love stars like that, they're actually trying to get people to look out with a positive view on things. I think she's trying to inspire kids to feel good and live life to the best. Not "YOLO" which was used correctly by many stars before Drake ruined it.
I think my music taste changes so much, and I'm not sure if I'm really okay with it; but hey I'm happy and healthy.

Avoid icy roads and drink hot tea/chocolate/coffee!
All week in class we have been listening to Led Zeppelin. This is one of those bands that I have known since I can remember. Their songs are always in my head and I really enjoy it. The guitar, drums, bass, and raspy voices just combine into a sanctuary of sound. I think Connor and the lead singer have quite a few similar physical features. Especially the hair.
My friend use to get soo mad because "everyone thinks Led Zeppelin is just one guy ugh!!" I never knew much about the band but I always use to listen to dazed and confused when I was in a bad mood just to cheer me up a bit, now that I listen to the lyrics I don't know why it made me happy.
I loved the album we listened to. Zeppelins songs are a little tedious but you always come out liking them, you know? Once you get past the length of them, you can actually listen to the greatness they contain. The solos maybe what makes them so long. They're great at first and you want to rock out, but after a whole you're like is it over yet?
Overall I think Zeppelin is great and a huge part of rock and roll history. I just wish their unit was as long as the Beatles,

I am unsure if we were even suppose to do blogs this week but I'll do these just to be safe. In class we watched a movie about a bunch of rock stars talking about electric guitars. I didn't get to watch all of it because I had to leave to work basketball games. (Fun!) I think it was the artist from U2 that first came up, making a guitar out of what looked like litter and scraps. The sound was amazing even if there was only a few strings! I was pretty amazed at how he was able to create something out of so little.
Some of the guys while being interviewed in their cars were talking about how this meet up was going to turn into an out right brawl; while others were saying this is going to be the most genius thing to happen since the creation of the guitar.
I really wish I could of watched the movie, it seemed pretty interesting :).
