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.

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.
