Make up Blog 3

I've recently gotten into dubstep! Both my sister and brother have been making me listen to a few songs and I actuallt kind of like it. I had looked up songs on google and I found two songs, La Roux 'In for the Kill' By Skrillex mix and Rude Boy by Rihanna a Chrispy remix and I found that when you you start playing Rude Boy, after 1 minute you play In for the Kill and they combine perfectly, it sounds so cool! Also I really enjoy First Of the Year (Equinox) by Skrillex it sounds so amazing, although the music video is really really creepy.

Some other songs I like are Hide-n-Seak (Roksonix Mix), Yo Ho and a Bottle of Bass by Omnitica, and also Bass Cannon by Excision. So if you like dubstep I really recommend these songs!

The Beatles, Revolver, is amazing as always. My favorite song on the album is, probably like most people's favorite song, is Eleanor Rigby. I just love The Beatles! Taxman is also a really good song. Cream was also pretty good, I'm definitely going to listen to them more. Frank Zapa is completely insane, and weird. I can't say I liked it, although I can't say I completely hated it too. I think his songs are stupid, but really funny and kind of amuzing. I also looked at the website mapofmetal.com I didn't spend too much time searching all the songs, but I did find a few bands I really liked in the Alternative Metal. I'm definitely going to have to listen to more of all of this music!

Nick Pitera

My sister has introduced me to Nick Pitera. He was originally an animator for Pixar Studios when one day a co-worker overheard him singing to himself and was like dude really good you should be a singer (it went something like that). And that inspired him to make youtube videos of his beautiful voice. He has a very very wide vocal range it's pretty amazing. In his cover of A Whole New World from Aladdin he sings both the male part and the female part. It's pretty great! Plus he's kinda cute :)

^^ Amazing right?

And also he does a "One Man Disney Movie" medley. It's pretty cool it's him playing a bunch of different characters like the villian, hero, sidekick, etc. And he makes a medley of the different disney songs it's soooo cool!

Please look him up! You won't regret it he's beautiful. And he's on Itunes! :)

Beach Boys

I did sort of like the album Pet Sounds by the Beach Boys, but at the same time I kind of didn't. God Only Knows was alright. I think maybe if I listened to the album a little more, maybe I would learn to like it more, but I don't know. I kind of started zoning out a little bit during the album so I don't remember a lot of the songs very well. I think the sounds and the instrumentals were.... different.... but it was pretty cool, it was weird but good. I think I'll have to listen to the album again a few times to really listen to all of it and see if I really truely like it or not.

Nickelback

Okay... So, yes, I like Nickelback. Go ahead judge me for it. I really don't understand why everyone hates nickelback sooo much and how everyone who likes the band is just a disgrace. I remember when everyone used to LOVE Nickelback, I don't know what happened, their music is still the same..
Some of my favorite songs are This Afternoon, Gotta Be Somebody, Never Gonna Be Alone, Just to Get High and If Today Was Your Last Day. All of these songs are from their album Dark Horse released in 2008. I like the songs If Today Was Your Last Day, Just to Get High and Gotta Be Somebody because they all have a deeper meaning that every time I listen to them I just think about how that relates to me. Like If Today Was Your Last Day some of the lyrics are :

"My best friend gave me the best advice
He said each day's a gift and not a given right"
"If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say goodbye to yesterday?
Would you live each moment like your last?
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you have?
Would you call old friends you never see?
Reminisce old memories
Would you forgive your enemies?
Would you find that one you're dreamin' of?
Swear up and down to God above
That you finally fall in love
If today was your last day"

These lyrics, everytime I listen to this song, makes me think, what would I do if today was my last day? I can never figure out exactly what it would be, I guess I'd have to make a bucketlist and complete it.
For all those people who look down upon Nickelback and everyone who supports them, spend some of your time and actually listen to them, they're not as bad as you think.

Bob Dylan and The Beatles

I thought the Beatles' movie Help! was pretty good, it was funny but I liked their other movies better, Hard Days Night and With the Beatles. My favortie part was when they were on the beach beach singing with that blonde girl and Paul was playing her like a guitar haha. I love the Beatles :)

I'm not really sure if I like Bob Dylan or not. There was a few songs I thought were maybe okay and if I listened to them more I would learn to like them, but on other songs I was just like hmm that doesn't sound very good and that really doesn't mean much to me. I could do without Bob Dylan but maybe I'll like him more when we listen to his later albums.

I'm sure you've heard of the song Home by Phillip Phillips, well I actually really like it. At first I didn't really like it very much but then it started playing over and over again on the radio and I was like wow this is growing on me. His voice kind of sounds like the singer of Mumford and Sons. I'm not really sure why I like it, I don't even think the lyrics are cool. But I guess since it's been over played so much and it's familiar I like it a lot.

The Beatles are still so amazing! Rubber Soul is so much different and kind of weirder than all of their other albums, like With The Beatles. Norwegian Wood, it's soo weird the intrumental is strange and even the way he sings is kinda weird and different, I really like it though for some reason. I like the movie Help! It's pretty funny. I really don't like Ringo's hair though... He definitely should've gotten that cut differently.

I still don't like The Rolling Stones, they got a little better from their first album, but yeah they, in my opinion for now, suck. They don't seem very close as a band, not as close as The Beatles for sure. And also they don't really have any harmonies, like The Beatles. I just think the aspects of The Rolling Stone's music aren't great, unlike the amazing Beatles.
