WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZER

After hearing some of The Who I also wanted to check out some other British bands, which led me to Weezer. I had a shirt I wore when I was kid that said WEEZER across the chest and I never really knew what it was from I just thought it was funny because I had asthma...go me. I remember teachers saying "whoa ben you know of weezer?" And I'd always say yeah and pretend I knew what they were....but really, Weezer is awesome you should check em out

They're actually not that bad

So after hearing The Who in class, I decided to go home and look up some of their stuff. After some youtube searching I found one of my old all time favorites, Baba O'Riley. And by that I mean a song I was listening to since I was 12 and I never even realized it was by The Who. I think what I like about the song is the noises that they blend into the song to make it sound like more is going on and it just sounds really awesome to me. The lyrics are good too, which is always a plus.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gY5rztWa1TM

DIZZY SWIZZY SWAGGY

These kids on my bus were playing this rap and I laughed my ass off through like half of the songs so when I got home I looked up the rapper, Dizzy Wright. Just listening to this makes me laugh my ass off because he isn't even speaking English but the beat is amazing so it's actually not that bad to listen to. I think that's how most rap nowadays is anyway it's just beats and then some guy sort of saying words but not really enunciating anything. Funny to think about how rap has changed over the last 20 years.

The rolling CRAP

I still can't get over how bad The Rolling Stones sounded on their first album. Honestly I thought they were really good just based on what other people said about them, and maybe it's just their first album but they sounded so awful. From the 60's I also looked up Black Sabbath and it sounded really cool. That first Rolling Stones song made my ears hurt. There was only one song that I thought was okay and it was the only one that wasn't a cover.

Tyler the Creator

So this week I really got into Tyler the Creator because a friend played some song by him and I just really enjoyed it. I think it's his voice but I just really enjoy the sound of it all, like the flow and how it's sort of just fun to listen to. I'm interested in what you think of him so let me know. Also I found a new "Purity Ring" A group called Holy Other and their music is so chill it's fantastic. I think I like it better than Purity Ring and it's just really relaxing and I think that they do a lot of things well.

Grimes (Late)

So after hearing about how shitty Grimes performed at ACL I decided I would look them up and see what kind of music they played. I thought it was really weird honestly, and I didn't much like it and I can see how live that would be AWFUL. Another band from ACL I looked up was Dana Falconberry and I thought they were really good. I heard Paper Diamond and Kendrick were incredible and I really wish I could have been there. I also love how we always go back to the Beatles, they never get old. I love this class.
Ps sorry these blogs are late I typed them up and was out and just completely forgot to submit them

chillaximus prime

I fell in love with a lot of stuff on the acl list. I think listening to  purity ring was beautiful. It's the chillest music ever I swear it makes me feel great and I wish I could embed it for you to listen to, I will later.. their music is so perfect and it justmakes me want to lay down and take a nap. I really like Your singing though, and you can sing really high like reggi watts, just thought I'd say it.

classy ass class blog

I didn't really have a good time watching that movie. I thought it was pretty boring.Sadly I can't go to acl which I was really looking forward to.... I thought reggi watts was fucking hysterical though even though some people didn't get the humor. It was really funny to me though. His hair and his beard were funny enough on their own. From the acl list I would have to say purity ring is my favorite band I would have loved to see them
