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.

the roots

When you first put on the roots i thought it was gonna be something like the beastie boys but in my mind it was totally different. I actually liked it alot and could see myself "buying" it online and listening to it later. I think if i were to listen to old school stuff like that i would like it more than new rap because i like the story behind them.

Rufus Wainwright

When we were first talking about Rufus Wainwright i was under the impression that his voice was gonna take alot of getting to used to and i probably wouldnt like it. That was not the case at all. He sounds like something i would listen to when i want to relax but his voice didnt seem weird to me at all.

Zep 2

Although everyone was complaining alot about Zep 2 i didnt think it was as bad as they made it seem. Of course i never want to listen to it again but it didnt make me want to leave class or anything. I just didnt like the long periods where it was just drums.

Joni Mitchell

Out of the things we have listened to this year those three songs we listened to by Joni Mitchell were by far my favorite. Her voice was so smooth and unique. The way she held certain notes made the song so much better. I really enjoyed all the songs because they all told a very unique story.
