Ho Hey!

This is a song I have heard many times on the radio but I had never had my phone with me to Shazam it.  I was looking on itunes and as of right now, it is number 2. I really have become to like this song a lot.  The beginning is kinda slow but something that keeps your attention is the "HO HEY" shouts that happens in the background throughout the song.  Once it gets to the chorus, there is literally no possibly way for my to hit next on my ipod.  The chorus gets me in a great mood and I don't know if it's because of the lyrics or the beat to it.  This is a great to sing along to if you are in your room or just driving around.  I hope this band has some more new songs I can check out!! Here is the video!

Woodstock

I really enjoyed the movie Woodstock for many reasons.  Yes, I would of loved to have been able to go to that.  But weird thing is, I don't like festivals as well but from the movie, this one just seemed like so much fun and layed back and it looks like everyone was having a good time.  I liked how in the movie they would interview different people who was there at the time. We really got to see how people were 50 plus years ago and I thought it was pretty cool! Joe Cocker is amazing! I love everything about his performance, even though a lot of movement was involved and that usually bugs me, but for some reason, his didn't.  He was and seemed like a pretty awesome guy.  I do actually want to watch this movie again in my free time at home. I think that would be a lot of fun and I would probably notice a lot of new things I didn't in class.

Coldplay

I have liked this band for as long as I can remember. I like their new music better because it is more upbeat and catchy rhythm. I think it's really unordinary how they bring their piano everywhere they go. I am still upset that I missed out on seeing them at ACL a couple years ago. I also think they are really good live because of the emotion they show in their music. They have really well written lyrics that go in depth. One of my favorite songs is Paradise.  I love the lyrics however I feel this song can be overplayed.  I hope they come out with new music soon!


Here is a video of Paradise live in Paris!

The Band

I really enjoyed The Band. I thought it was really cool how they took turns writing each line of a song and how it still came out to be really good. A lot of people like studio recorded songs vs. live songs, but for me,  I liked the live songs better for this band. Something unique about this band is the lead singers voice. He has more of a scratchy voice then a distinct tone in his voice. The rhythm of the song "The Weight" is very catchy and is a real good headbanger. I look forward to listening to more of The Band later on in class!
