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.

The sadest day of my life

So I got an email saying that Vampire Weekend was coming into town in April and it was basically the best news ever. Theyre coming to play at stubbs the 24th and the 25th. Sense theyre playing two days in a row I thought of course I can easily get tickets. Boy was I wrong.. Apparently according to one of my friends both days are already sold out.

The grey album

I don't really tend to like mash ups very much just cause I usually like the original song better. For the grey album I liked it a lot better though. I think its sense usually when I listen to anything by jay-z I get bored half way through but the mix of it with the beatles turned out really awesome.

Since being in this class

Since being in History of Rock ive started listening to different music kinda. I wouldnt say my music choice changed i just started listening to more than just a single by a certain person. I started "buying" more albums and listening to the whole thing all the way through which in my mind has improved my music choices.
