The Who

I had only really ever heard about The Who because my parents are literally obsessed with CSI and i mean every single one of the CSI shows. I grew up watching CSI: Miami the most probably since it wasnt as gross as the other ones. Listening to them in class I definetly like their other songs better than the theme songs. The theme songs are extremely catchy and all but i guess growing up hearing those songs every single Sunday, Thursday, and i think Monday was enough for me.

acl withdrawls

Lately all ive been listening to is bands i saw at ACL. Surprisingly they havent gotten old yet and im still obsessed with them. I have become even more in love with vampire weekend and think they are actually very talented. Before i saw them live i thought they were alright but theyre songs were the repetitive kinda catchy. After seeing them lived i realized they are really amazing live and it made me like them more.

What my definition of rock is

Rock is definetly a word that people like to try to describe and have it be a black and white picture, but rock is not something that you can describe be "right" its about opinion. In my opinion rock is the type of music people want to jump around and run to. Where as pop is what you want to dance to. They both get people excited but rock isnt as bubbly.

The Beatles Anthopology

I thought watching that episode about the Beatles was interesting. It was cool to hear about how they got started. I didnt know that they didnt originally start out together as a band. I liked how it had solo interviews with each of the members so they could tell their verson of certain events of things that happened during their years starting the band.

ACL Concerts

My favorite concerts during ACL where ( in order) Vampire Weekend, Kendrick Lamar, Portugal the Man, Fun, and Paper Diamond. Vampire Weekend was my definete favorite because I have really liked them for awhile and was super excited for the concert. They didnt dissappoint. They came on stage and first off the lead singer was wearing a green jumpsuit. They had a mirror hanging down and two column things. They were really good performers and sounded amazing live. They also played mostly theyre new songs from their album except for the first and like the last song. When they started playing Step i was like those girls from the beatles documentary i definetly almost peed myself or started crying. Kendrick Lamar was good because he did a good job of getting the crowd excited and everyone there was just super excited and was going crazy. One girl that I know was talking about how he doesnt have talent cause all he did was come on stage and cuss alot. I think thats ridiculous because he came out multiple times and just freestyled and it was so good. Portugal the man was good because they played basically the entire time and inly took one break and it was for like 30 seconds. They also played Purple Yellow Red and Blue twice which is my favorite by them. I wasnt actually looking forward to fun but when they started i became obsessed with them. The singer went crazy and was such a good performer. His voice was really good live too. I liked Paper Diamond because i didnt know who he was before but when i went to the concert it was just tons of fun.
