led zeppelin

I never knew what led zeppelin even sounded like until i heard them Thursday and i like they're sound. Its kind of bluesy which i wasn't really expecting but they're lyrics are awful but that doesn't even matter to me because i listen to some songs with reeeeealy awful lyrics but that isn't going to stop me from listening if the song has good sound to it. So overall, i like LZ but i wouldn't exactly go off and download any songs of theirs just yet.

No new music in while

Its kinda weird because i haven't found any new music to listen to. I usually find alot of new music during the month but i haven't even really been listening to music in general over this past month so maybe that why..

woodstock (edited dec .12)

I have always been interested in woodstock ever since i saw something on tv a long time ago about it. Ive liked all the performances so far and i dont think ive ever seen anybody play an electric guitar the way tat richie haven played it. That was just a really different style of play that i didnt think you could do with an acoustic. I also like doing deep research and if i could, id try to find the people who did those interviews and see what they look now.

I honestly did not know that santana has been playing since the late 70s. I knew that the fellow playing the guitar looked familiar but i just couldnt put my finger on who he was. I looked him up thinking that was him and i got it confirmed. That is the kind of rock music that i like. Just Straight instruments and not that much lyrics. The drummer also had that monster solo that faded out to soft then faded back to up pace fast tempo. The type of music what they were playing is what i would call "electric latino blues" not sure if thats already a genre but thats what im going to go with for now.

Johnny cash

Ive always liked johnny cash , i saw his movie and everythng but pryor that i only knew 2 songs by him. "walk the line" and "ring of fire". I dont remember how i found out about these 2 songs but im glad that i did. I was obsessed with these songs along with "the other side" by the doors (probably mentioned in my other blog). I would call him rock but im not sure how to explain. The only thing that makes him sound "country" is his voice i guess but still his style is that of a rock n rollist.

Ring of fire by johnny cash

white album

I actually really liked the white album, i didnt i think i would be to fond of it but i like it alot. It has so many different generes of songs it seems like and theyre all good in their own ways. You could obviously tell they sounded all out of whack on the first song, as if they were forced to make that song, let along forced to make the whole album. Anyways i liked it.

Cream

Im pretty sure we listened to cream and i didnt exactly like them. I like rock but not to this extent. I dont know why but i just dont like them and i dont like sunshine of your love or whatever either..If you ask me why i dont like them will be "i dont know i just dont" and that will be my final answer.

The doors

The doors are one of the first rock and roll bands i ever heard but i didn't really know to much about them when i first heard them. Back in elementary school i heard "the other side" on a video game and that was probably 1 of 6 songs on my mp3 player at that time, so im reeeally familiar with that song.

I already did a blog on jimi

If you wanna read my blog on jimi  hendrix blog, you can just zip on over to this link right here http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=4642323379869422696#editor/target=post;postID=6587559698632912310

Sgt pepper

I did not really like the sgt pepper album by the beatles, because it just didnt seem like they're style..i know that they cant stay the same forever but i enjoyed the early albums about love and what not alot more than i do these newer ones. Revolver, i can dig but i just cant fit in to much with this album..sorry

simon and garfunkel

And its definitley not like any music that ive ever heard but it wasnt really bad..all the music that we listened to were all completly new to me. Ive never heard more than 5 miniutes of metal unless im playing guitar hero or something but other than that i cant stand it..whats the point of having a lead singer if you cant understand WTF hes saying. Whatever..And frank zappa, i was interested in his music, it was really really different then ive ever heard but it was good music that ive never heard in my life before.

yeah its revolver

yep i got it right, the album name is revolver and after hearing some more of it i like it. The album cover is probably one of the most revoloutionary of their time too. The art looks like some sort of modern day hipster cover, which isnt really a bad thing because it looks modern regardless of it looking hipsterish.

Revolver

Im prettty sure that we listened to revolver if not then im gonna call it revolver anyways. I really liked the pyschedelic feel beacause "Are you be experienced" by the jimi hendrix experience is one of my top 5 albums ever and that album only came out 1 year after revolver which from what i read, is considered one of the first if not the first psychedelic albums ever. The only song i actually know off of that album is yellow submarine which i hear every time when im at OLD NAVY and ive only been to old navy like 7 times so that means ive heard it every single time.

More motown

What we listened to the other day was true smooth music that was really enjoyable and it looks like that alot of other artist have sampled alot of motown classics. For example Otis reddings' "try a little tenderness" was sampled in Kanye west and Jay-z's "otis" and im sure many people did not know who the man singing in the beggining was (including me im not gonna lie) but now i know who he was.

lil b- game on lock

 This song by lil b is actualy decent, soon as the beat drops he starts freestyling and some of his verses actually make sense which is really rare because most of his stop is like "my swag so clean that my toilet fresh too". Stuff like that makes us laugh and music like this song makes us still laugh, but not as much. Not a song id listen to all day but its listenable.

Bob dylan

That is the first time in my life that ive ever heard bob dylan before, and i dont really know what to say..Definetly different then the rock music ive heard before.. But that wasnt rock, but more of a folk musicy. I just checked all of his albums and 35 albums is alot..most hitmakers put out like 8-12 albums life time-maybe but 35? That is alot of albums.. But ill give him another shot  

The most recent beatles movie that we watched..

I did not know what was going on at all. From the looks of it, the plot was resolved around the ring pop on ringos finger. Other than that i dont know what they were talking about i didnt know how they got the ring pop I dont know man i just dont know...Then next thing you know theyre in the middle of a warzone with the syrians or something after they just got back from some snowy area. I just dont know..

Rubber soul

I cant say that i really liked rubber soul.. Ive liked all of The Beatles albums so far but im not really a fan of this one. I dont know why but i just dont like their style on this one, its to sad and just different..I cant realy describe why i dont like it i just dont like this one in particular. My favorite album is Please Please me mainly because its a debut album and im a SUCKER for debut albums, because if you have a good debut album, then you have extremly high standards to live up to any others that you release.

Are you experienced?

The album that ive been listening to as of late is the debut album by jimi hendrix ,The Jimi hendrixs experience: Are you experienced? It is the only the second rock album that ive ever listened to (appeptite for destuction the other one) and this one is by far superior. Jimi hendrixs guitar skills are just unexplainable and the fact that he uses feedback to his advantage is even better. If you heard a modern guitarist playing with feedback at a concert, youd probably cover you ears in disgust. The drummer in the band, Mitch mitchells is also a really good drummer but the fact that he played with jimi largely overshadowed his career and talent. So far my favorite songs off the album are: Third stone from the sun, red house and fire. All the other songs are great but in these particular ones, the guitar is mainly showcased. In my opinion i consider hendrix one of the if not the greatest guitarist of all time, and he died (or was killed) way to early.

beatles album

sorry i forgot the album name..horrible memory, but anyways that album was borderline trip-adelic with sitars and what not. I mean not saying its really a bad thing but its definetely what you would expect from the beatles. As their albums progressed so did their music. It went from love songs and fun to this weird depressed or pyschadelic stuff. That one that song that you played at the end was pretty cool, the one with the sitar in it i think. Either the way the album was pretty cool.

Let it be?

I think the album the album that we listened to was let it be by the beatles but im not sure. Either the way tthe album was listenable. Im gonna admit that i wasnt really paying attention the lyrics but more of listening to the music. It was really different from please please me and that just shows how much they really evovled and now that i think of it more and more i dont think their just ever was or will be another band as dominating as the beatles, fan or not you have to admit that.

The who and "scratch" documentary (2 in 1)

Like the rollimg stones, i dont know much about the who. I know that theyre the entrance music for CSI:whateverthename and their song baba o'reily (i think baba o'reily is the entrance music but i dont know im a SVU guy.) I prefer the who more than i did the stones and i really liked that whole tyrade the did on the talk show, those guys went pretty hard. That keith moon guy really was a character and his drumming was just a style i havent seen before. The only drummers i ever really liked was the drummer (whos name i dont know) in Fire jimi hendrix and steven adler, the drummer for guns n roses (he was pretty good in my opinion)

Alright now onto scratch, that documentary is directly up my alley because that is the music i bump the most. Afrikka bambata and the zulu nation, eric b and rakim, grandmaster flash and the furious 5 and all that real good stuff. Im gonna watch the rest of that documentary when i get home today because that is straight hip hop. The hip hop genre will never be the same again in my opinion because all they rap about nowadays is "killing people, or beatin the meat, or gettin high" and i dont give a rats ass about how high you get or how many people you "kill". (Prodigy of mobb deep explains this topic before it even got Huge Click here for the truth) The only rappers i respect in this Modern hip hop era are kendrick lamar and lupe fiasco and the Wu-tang of course (since theyre members are still puttin out albums) in fact i already i already got that new album that came out today

You want a good laugh? lil b california boy

Alright so the other day i listened to one of the most sorriest excuses for a song ever! This is a lil b song and if you read my lil b post then i wouldve warned you that he is a bad rapper, who i think is trolling all of us and in time he will release an album that blows all our minds. But this song right here is going to be straight garbage. This video is the equivalent to lady gaga trying to become a full time east coast gangster rap artist.

Rolling stones

Ive never listened to the rolling stones before i just know of them and that they have mick jagger but thats about it. i dont really like them..im not so sure about their style..it was all country and and stuff not that im one of those country haters but i just wasnt feeling their music. I know that theyve been touring forever and all that but im not sure what their most recognizable song is. id probably know it if i heard it bus as of now im pretty clueless to it. I looked at all their album covers on wikipedia and the first few ones looked like beatles album covers. especially rolling stones no.2 compared to Meet the beatles! Lets have a look see..

 

On the left we have Rolling stones no.2 and on the right we go Meet the beatles! The beatles album was released a year earlier than the stones album so i guess theirs is the original. This probably isnt relevant but i thought that i just throw it out their.
                                                                                                                 

Black moon

As of late i have been listening to Black moon- How many mcs which is a classic underground hip group consisting of buckshot 5ft and dj evil dee. This was their debut album Enta da stage which was positivley acclaimed by critics and this personally is my favorite song off of the album. The flow of the song is so smooth with a basic beat with nothing flashy done by a bunch of pure mcs.

Hard days night

After watching hard days night i really found out how humerous the beatles really were especially john lennon, although im more of a fan for live movies and single camera set ups, this movie was still well made and looked like the black and white was in HD almost. The first video we see saw i prefer more but this one overall was still fun.

Mo-town

when we listened to mo town it was stuff that i was of course familiar with because thats stuff that my aunt and grandma used to listen to and talk about so none of that was really new to me. I really feel that the mo town era is totally overlooked by this day and ages generation and it deserves alot more respect then what it already has.

Beatles movie

I really liked the beatles movie that were watching. its really entertaining and i never really knew what the beatles were like, all of knew that ringo and paul were still alive and i just recently watched paul at the olympics i really liked his performance. i explained in my last blog that im not really a huge fan of the beatles but i can definely tollerate them.

beatles for sale

The beatles.. ive never disliked them but never really been a fan of them but i can tolerate their music because its just straight classics and i respect the classics. Although the songs were a lot different than the ones on the previous album they still had good instrumental, but the lyrics were all dark and what not. definatley not an album i would buy, but id probably download a couple of songs but not necessarily the whole album.

Lil B

As of late ive been listening to "lil b the based god" and while his music at 97% of the time makes no sense at all and i question my self, "why am i listening to this"? Well i listen to his music because it kind of just grows on you somehow.. His most famous song is "wonton soup" and that is where the word "swag" became heavily popularized whether people like it or not, and he was apart of "the pack" and they had their hit single back in about 2007-08 called "got my vans on". Lil b comes out with 2 mixtapes every month and i try keeping up with them but some of them are total garbage with 2 good songs on it. As of late he has had 2 decent songs that were both covered. he covered a david banner beat on his song "i own swag" and he covered rick rosses "stay schemin" titled "realist bitch". Check them out if you have time but dont suprised if you find yourself shutting down in 4 seconds.

Twist and shout

twist and shout is a really good song in my opinion and i used to listen to that song religously everyday. I heard the song at a rangers baseball game years ago but it was just a cover. I searched the interenets real hard that night (this was about 6 years ago) finding the original because im not really a beatles fan but i do respect them. After i found it i listened to that song for a good 2 months or so during the summer then i eventually got tired of it, but it doesnt hurt to listen to it again every now and then
