Rewind

Rascal Flatts came out with a song a believe this year and i loved it. I've always liked Rascal Flatts so liking their newest song wasnt a surprise. Rewind, like most of their other songs, seems to have some deeper meaning to the people in the band. I think having that deeper meaning is what makes the lyrics really good. To me its not repetitive and is just all around perfect.

G-Eazy

G-Eazy is a beautiful man. I started listening to him last year when he came to Austin last year. Some of my friends went and said it was such a good concert so I decided to look him up. I became literally obsessesed with him and would do anything to be able to go to his concert thats happening this Sunday. Luckily, hes also coming to SXSW and (fingers crossed) I'll be able to go.

"Punk"

The first few songs we listened to that were considered Punk were not my cup of tea at all. When we started to listen to The Ramones i recognized like 2 of the songs. I didnt hate those songs but i wouldn't go out and buy an album of theirs. To be honest the only thing that comes to mind when i think of punk is this episode of Americas Next Top Model where during the photo shoots they all had a different music genre and one girl was punk and had no idea how to model the "punk look."

Cherub

I first heard about Cherub during the summer when my friend played their song Doses and Mimosas on the way to Barton Springs. I started to listen to them more and really liked their unique sound. Honestly i could see how other people would hate them cause their sound can get a little whiny, but i really like it. Doses and Mimosas and XOXO are my two favorite songs by them. Hopefully I'll get to see them at SXSW but it only has them listed as playing at a bar at 2 in the morning.

Arctic Monkeys

I never really listened to the arctic monkeys but one day I was listening to the radio, which has been a rare occurrence lately, and 94.7 started playing a song that i really liked. At the end of the song the radio DJ said the title, which was "Do I Wanna Know?,"  i looked it up afterwards and was really surprised to see that it was by the Arctic Monkeys. Im pretty sure that that song was the last song i bought.

SXSW

I started going to SXSW last year and i had a blast so i cant wait to go again. I like that the shows are all over austin but i get confused really easily about how to find the shows. When I actually am able to find the shows i want and get there i have a great time. I havent actually looked at the line up yet but im sure there will be multiple people that i can see.

Beyonces new album

When the album first came out i didnt really want to listen to it because im still getting used to listening to a whole album, but i actually sat down and just listened to all of the songs. I really like the album and i think its super cool that she didnt really make it very public that she was coming out with it. I like all of her songs usually and this album isnt any different.

Music has kinda changed

For some crazy reason i havent been listening to much music lately and havent been getting many new songs which i usually get a lot of new ones a month. I guess school has just been taking up a lot more time and i really cant listen to music while doing homework because i get completely distracted and then my homework ends up not getting done or being done well. Ive only been listening to music while im driving so i end up listening to the same songs on the 3 different CDs i have.

What i liked

Some of the songs people played i liked and i never actually thought i would like it. Sophie played 2 really good songs that i thought were kinda the opposite of what i usually listen to but i really liked it. I also liked the song that Antone said he made.

Reggae

I thought the reggae we listened to in class was interesting but totally different from modern day reggae. I could see how it originated from that from some of the beats underneath the music but the singing sounded different. When i think of reggae now i think of reggae fest or marley fest or whatevers its called which i dont really know much about.
