The Nearly Deads

I was searching around on YouTube, and I came across the band The Nearly Deads, and I listened to a few of their songs and I really like it! I really like the songs Never Look Back and Fact & Friction. I just love her voice, I've really started liking rock bands with female vocals. And I really like the singers hair! Haha. You should definitely give these two songs a listen to and I hope you'll fall in love with this band too :)

 

Led Zepplin and Let It Be

I thought Led Zepplin was pretty good, although we were listening to it soo loud it gave me a headache, I might like it better at a little lower volume. And of course, Stairway To Heaven is EPIC. One of my favorite songs on the album. And the Beatles manage to do it again! Another great album, of course Let It Be is my favorite song on the album, but my close second is Across the Universe and Two Of Us. I just LOVE the Beatles so much! :)

Halestorm

My step mom introduced me to this band Halestorm, she got my sister a CD for christmas, and I stole it and I LOVE it. You might have heard the song I Miss The Misery, it plays on the radio sometimes. It's my favorite song on the album. I just love the energy and the her vocals are AMAZING, she is so good. This song just gets me so pumped!  I also like the song, In Your Room. Halestorm is classified as metal, but don't worry, it's not insanely crazy or anything. I think it's really awesome, I would recommend them if you like bands like, Evanescence or Flyleaf.

Rip Remix Manifesto: Copyright Laws

Personally, I agree completely agree with the movie. I think the copyright laws are insane, I think there should be some copyright that restrict some things that protect your music, but I don't think it should restrict your ability to be creative to branch off and make new music like mash ups. I love mash ups and dubstep that branch off from old music, and I don't want that kind of music to go away just because some people want the money for it. I think it's unfair to the artists who are trying to be ceative with music. And the video even said the money doesn't go to the artists of the real song, it goes to the record label thing, which is completely unfair. This kind of sharing of music should not be restricted so much, it's a way to express yourself and be creative and get ideas across. All of these laws are just completely insane. Music wasn't started for money and power, it was started to spread ideas, feelings, emotions, and for fun. I hope this video spreads and we can make copyright laws fair, so that music can spread like wildfire! I loved the movie, and I definitely want to watch it again and show people. I also really like the band Girl Talk!

Make Up Blog #2: Sly and The Family Stone

I don't really remember them very much. I'm not sure if I liked them or not. I guess they weren't really memerable, plus it was last week.... They're kind of jazzy, I just looked up the song Everday People, I kind of like it though, I think I've heard the song before. It's kind of rock and kind of jazz, It's a good combination.

Make Up Blog #1 Five Finger Death Punch

A friend just recently introduced me to this band, Five Finger Death Punch and I have to say I'm sort of obsessed with them right now. I really like the album American Capitalist. I'm actually listening to the album right now... :) My favorites on the album are Coming Down, Remember Everything, Wicked Ways and 100 Ways to Hate. Coming Down is about suicide, I really like the video to the song, becuase it's about these two teenagers who feel like the world is against them and the one person basically saves them by showing they care about them, I don't know, it's cooler than it sounds.

 

 

I like 100 Ways to Hate because it's just so I don't know...Honest, haha I can't explain it. Some of the lyrics are:

 

"I... hate... you...

That's an understatement
I... hate... you...
For who you are

I hate you
And all you stand for
I don't care
Anymore
I gave you
100 chances
You gave me
A hundred ways to hate"

 

I don't know, I just really like that. I wish I could say that to someone I hate, but I guess that's kind of mean. I would recommend this band if you like bands like, Atreyu, Mudvayne, and Stone Sour.
