Play

Okay! So I went the play and I got thereby 7 and I stayed until the end of our play which was super funny by the way, but my mom got really angry and made me leave right after ours at like 10 or 10:30 so I wasn't able to take a picture with the cast. But! I hope you will accept the picture I took of the play

Shinedown

Shinedown came out with a new album last year, Amaryllis, which I've just recently started getting into since the I saw them in concert a couple weeks ago. My favorites songs on the album are Bully, I'll Follow You,  and Amaryllis. But really, all of the songs are good. I think it sounds different than their previous albums, in a good way. I really like Brent Smith's (the lead singer) voice. And I also love the lyrics. Especially to Bully. Part of the chorus goes like this: "Make another joke while they hang another rope, so lonely". I just love that line. It's so true, most people will just think it's funny, it's a joke, they justify every mean thing they say to people as if it was a joke even if they actually meant it. But to depressed people it's not just a joke, it hurts more than the bully will ever think it did, and I think this song will reach out to kids and teenagers who are being bullied. And I think it's sending a really good message which is a reason I love it so much. I totally recommend this song and this album and this band, it's pretty amazing.

Massive Attack - Mezzanine

I thought this album was really really good. My favorite tracks were definitely the first and third, Angles and Teardrop. I like it's hip hop and electronic feel and it has a very unique sound and I really enjoy it. I also really like the bass in it, it's pretty cool, it gives it a nice beat. The ITunes visualizer looked pretty awesome with their songs too, it also kept me intrigued. I've never heard anything by Massive Attack before, so I don't know how their other albums are, but I'd like to find out, I thought this album was so good.

The Color Morale

I recently heard the song, Strange Comfort by The Color Morale on the radio and I looked them up when I got home, and I found that I really like this band. They're classified in the genre of Rock, I think they're pretty good. I would recommend it if you like bands sort of like Breaking Benjamin, Five Finger Death Punch, or Fit For a King. But yeah I really like it. It has some 'screamo' in it. But yeah I like it a lot it's really good. Strange Comfort it the song I know most by them and I like the lyrics to the song, it's about being lost in life and how you get used to being lost, how it's a "strange comfort". I'm really big on lyrics so usually if it doesn't have good lyrics I don't like it as much.

Wu-Tang

I didn't like Wu-Tang too much, I'm not really into rap/hip hop. I like A Tribe Called Quest better. Wu-Tang is kind of cool because the band has like 9 members right? I think that's cool because each member brings something new and different which I like, but if I had to choose between A Tribe Called Quest and Wu-Tang I would most definitely pick A Tribe Called Quest. I feel like Tribe is more I don't know kind of funk-y, or jazz-y and I guess I like that better.

Copyright Laws

I've recently re-watched RIP: A Remix Manifesto. It's such a great documentary dealing with copyright laws. I re-watched it because in my English class we're doing a project and we got to choose our topic over anything we're interested in and I decided I was interested in the Copyright Laws in the music industry. So, my project is over how major record labels, and major corporations such as Warner Chappell are restricting the people's creativity and freedom by heavily inhibiting Copyright Laws. Basically I'm going to be writing about my opinions on how the Copyright Laws need to be revised to give people the rights to make mash-ups, to use sampling, and to take from the public domain to create original pieces building off of the past without having to pay a huge sum of money. I'll also be talking about how the world is ruled by money and the human mind is run by making a profit. I'm really excited for this project and to object my opinion!

Nirvana - Nevermind

I love love love this album! It's such a good album. My favorites are Smells like Teen Spirit, Come As You Are, and Lithium. My all time favorite song by Nirvana is Lithium. I absolutely love that song. It's sort of funny, I like how it says, "I'm so ugly, but that's okay 'cause are you, broke our mirrors." Haha, I just think that's such a funny, clever and awesome line. In my opinion it's a really legendary album made by Nirvana, I think if you asked people name 1 song by Nirvana they would probably say Smells Like Teen Spirit. This album was the crash between rock and mainstream which I find pretty cool. I think it's an amazing album and I would really like to have it on my IPod.
