Coldplay

Alright so I really like the new Coldplay album. Coldplay is a mystical journey through the mind of Chris Martin, his innovative song lyrics mixed with strong drum rhythms let the listener dive into an alternative rock universe. Coldplay's newest album is probably one of my favorite albums. The song Magic can be attributed to Chris Martin's ability to do actual magic. Haha. All in all Coldplay is super sweet and I love listening to their music when I'm driving.

Suicidal Thoughts - Notorious B.I.G

Another friend showed me this really depressing song, Suicidal Thoughts by Notorious B.I.G and I thought it was a crazy good song. The lyrics, the beat, everything in that song is on point. It's pretty depressing if you listen closely to the lyrics but if anything that makes it a better song. It sounds so real, I don't know any other way to describe it other than it sounds real to me. Too bad he's dead. Here's the song though

Iggy Azalea

So thinking back to the day that we talked about Iggy Azalea, I really didn't like her music. I thought that her songs were just crazy pop-y and I didn't think it was good at all. I mean she has a really good voice and I like the way she sounds but the lyrics are really poor and the beats are really shitty. While I think that her music is really crappy I would definitely see her in a show because she's crazy attractive. About all I have to say about Iggy Azalea

Incredibox

Incredibox is the greatest music game ever. You can combine all of the different sounds to make a song and it's so freaking cool. I mean at least for the first 15 minutes it is. I'll link you the game so you can try it but it's honestly so cool, here's the link, not much to say about the game other than to show it to you

End of School!!!

I'm so stoked that summer is about to be here. I can't wait to not have to do anything this summer this school year has been way too hard. I felt so stressed for like half of the year and now that it's finally over it doesn't seem real. I've had a good year, liked mostly all of my teachers, did all of my shit, and now I'm just happy it's over. HAVE A ROCKIN SUMMER MR A

The Killers

So a friend last week showed me an old band that I used to love, The Killers. The first song he showed me was Mr Brightside and I remember that was my favorite song when I was younger. After I got home I decided to listen to more and next thing I knew the only thing I was listening to was The Killers. I would say that my favorite song out of all of their well known songs is Shot at the Night because of how damn catchy it is. Every time I hear it it gets stuck in my head the rest of the day. Great band.

Cell Phones

This new cell phone policy has rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. While I think that the policy itself is sound and reasonable I think that their reasons for doing it are ridiculous. I mean taking away people's cell phones at school is not going to stop cyber bullying, or any bullying for that matter, and all it actually does it piss people off. I mean when students are in class they should be learning, not on their cell phones, however I think that there are certain times in certain classes where it shouldn't matter if you're on your phone or not. Phone use should really be an issue of time and place and teachers' preferences, not a schoolwide ban on cellphones during "instructional time". What's especially ridiculous is this new rule about taking away kids cellphones when they go to the bathroom...I mean...what am I going to do? Go to the bathroom to cyber bully people? Anyone who'd actually do that needs more than just their cell phone taken away. They need some serious help.

Happy

I can't take that stupid Pharrell song anymore I've heard it so many times between my mother and the radio. I haven't even heard the entire song but whenever I turn my car on the radio goes on first so I have to switch it to aux/tape but I can hear the song for a brief 3 or 4 seconds and it's ALWAYS on every station. I mean it's not even that bad a song but I can't stand hearing it anymore. Even if I get away from it in the car my mom feels the need to play it in the house because it's "such a great and happy song" and  I seriously cannot do it anymore. 

Cunninlynguists

So I found Cunninlynguists the other day and I really like their album, Strange Journey Volume 3. They rap with enunciation and all of their lyrics make sense which definitely raises them on my list. I'm really glad I found them because I was listening to them all weekend and they're the shit. Here's my favorite song by them I think you will like it a lot it's got a really nice background beat and the rappers on it are fluid and it sounds great as a whole.

Danny Brown

I was listening to an old Danny Brown song that I've been listening to for the last year or so and I saw his album and decided to give it to try. The album I saw was Old and I heard it all the way through three times and I think it's my new favorite album right now. He's got such a weird voice and it's like Chance the Rapper but I think Danny's lyrics are way better. The songs on that album range from one end of the spectrum to the other and not a single one of them is skippable to me.

Spotify

I finally downloaded the free version of Spotify and I'm actually really impressed. It's a lot easier to use then MoG even just using the free version Spotify which forces me to shuffle on everything. It's a cleaner setup than MoG and it runs a lot smoother in my opinion. The only thing I don't like about the free version of Spotify is that sometimes it doesn't have the albums that I want to listen to....All in all Spotify is pretty awesome and I'm glad I finally started using it.

Paolo Nutini & Sam Smith

So from what you showed us in class I really enjoyed Paolo Nutini and Sam Smith. I really thought that out of everyone that we listened to from the links on the ACL page, these two had the best raw talent. Despite disliking Sam Smith after I first heard it, it really grows on you. I've listened to now 3 of his songs and I really like all of them. They're all just so clean, nothing else is there except his voice and it's fantastic. Paolo is more upbeat I think I've listened to his album twice now and it's kind of uplifting, I think my favorite song is These Streets.
