Every morning I wake up to MTV playing the same few songs over and over again. My favorite so far is La la la by Naughty Boy. Its featuring Sam something. Ill put a link in here. I love the continuous la las in the background. At first I hated them because I always did my la las different when ignoring my brothers. I thought the video was based off the wizard of oz but Im not sure. The child is Dorothy, the stolen chow chow is Toto, the music man in the dance club is the tin man, the elephant suit police man is the scarecrow, and the frozen stone in the cave to me is the great oz but my boyfriend thinks its the cowardly lion.
I also like the lyrics, my favorite being the chorus "I cover my ears like a kid, when your words mean nothing I go la la la". I took this as ignoring insults or rude comments and thinking of something happier.
Hope you enjoyed!
Have a great week.

Last time we talked about the ACL line up. Im really excited about Lorde but I don't get to see her which kind of sucks. I'm only going the first weekend which also sucks because I would love to go see all the bands I missed the first weekend. I'm a little disappointed that Skrillex is going just because I don't think hes all that great. I use to be obsessed with him but now Im just thinking his career is kind of over.  I know he came out with a new album but I haven't listened to it. Nor do I really want to.
I am excited for ACL though. I hope the weather is as great as last years first weekend.

Have a great week!

For Easter weekend I am going to Wyatt's house again so hopefully he'll share some good music to blog about. Recently my favorite song is Habits by Tov Lo. I keep reading the name as tuff love. I really like the vocals and beat of the song. The singers a bit like Lorde with her beauty and inability to dance without summoning Satan. I really like the song though. I'll try to look more into the band.
Happy Easter

Currently were watching Nirvana on MTV unplugged. I've always had a bit of a bitter attitude towards live performances just because they usually expose how the singer cant really sing. Since there's not as much editing and autotuning it just annoys me. I always thought of live performances as exposing an artists true talent; which in recent times isn't even present.
Nirvana has a great live performance though. I also learned this at ACL but some artists do have real talent and its not just autotuning :D.

Mr. A brought up Eric Clapton and his son falling out of a window. This caused him to write Tears in Heaven which is the song Daniel Ethridge sang at my grandmother's memorial service. So that song and artist have a special place in my heart. I think my mom got to see Eric Clapton live as well which is cool.

This week we've been listening to Nirvana. I think Kurt's scratchy voice is kind of soothing but its hard for me to pay attention to the lyrics themselves. I really like Come as You Are just because it has a nice message and a cool beat.

One of the main great things that this class has done for me is take away the obnoxious question "what song is this, who is it by?!" When we listen to albums ill hear a song and be like OMG I KNOW THAT SONG I LOVE IT LET ME WRITE IT DOWN. But this class is awesome, this year I had to do a lot of coming out of my shell and it sucked but I did it.

Have a great week

Next two songs that came on were White Teeth Teens by Lorde and A World Alone. Lorde's not so new album Pure Heroine is great! I got hooked on her after Royals (sorry) and went searching for more of her music and loved it! White Teeth Teens is amazing and Glory and Gore is too. I love that she's so young but is doing so great. She's only like 17? I'm so proud of her!

Happy rainy weekend!!<3

In this current moment I am listening to Animal by Mike Snow and Stars by the XX. I've been listening to the XX for I think two years now? It's calm and relaxing. It has a mix of piano, bass, and electronic. A few songs I really like are Heart Skipped A Beat and Vcr.

Happy Prom

It feels like everyday our class gets pulled into hip hop, and I mean I like the discussions but I just don't like the music. I've said this in countless blogs but I don't know our class more than 3/4 hip hop and/or rap fans. I will say that some of the rap songs can be funny and enjoyable. It's also pretty cool to see the rhymes in the songs and actually get to understand what they're saying.

Happy Prom?

This week in class we had hair metal day, and I. LOVE. Bon Jovi. Were going to build a time machine and he will become my husband. We will live happily ever after somewhere in the 80's and have no kids because I don't like kids. WE'LL BE LIVIN ON A PRAYER.

I'm sorry for this.
