Blame it on the alcohol by Jamie Fox ft. T-Pain

This song is mainly about booze and how it affects a person especially at a club. I don't really like this song. It is bland and very monotone.

Far East Movement - Like A G6 ft. The Cataracs, DEV 

 This song is about the feeling you get when you consume alcohol. I like this song because it is pretty catchy, and this is one of the groups I actually  enjoy listening to.

Brad Paisley - Alcohol

This song is also about the effects of alcohol. I don't like this song because I am not a fan of country music. It just doesn't catch my attention.

Afroman - Because i got high

This song is about getting high. I don't like this song because it just doesn't interest me. In my opinion, it is just stupid.

Bruno Mars - Liquor store blues 

This song is about taking booze to numb pain in one's life. I love and hate this song. I like the sound of the chorus but other than that it is not really appealing to me.

Music Memories #1



                Up until I was in 5th grade I never cared for music. Whenever I listened to music it would always be from the radio. When I moved into the 5th grade my best friend at the time, David, showed me music artist such as, Blink-182, Green Day, and Deep Purple. This is where I began my journey on the road of Alternative Music. I used to repeatedly listen to Blink-182’s “Adam Song” on a CD player my mother gave me. I started to play the Electric guitar, trying to imitate the sound and style that Alternative groups had. I loved when their voices had a nasal sass to them. This is where I started to encourage my friends and family to get a instruments to start practicing with me.
                After this stage I moved towards Asian Pop Music. When I was in the 7th grade, I was introduced to this kind of music by some of my friends in my middle school. I fell in love with this music because it made me feel happy and joyful. Although I did not know what any of the songs were about, I still loved them. To this day I still love this kind of music. Sometimes I just need to listen to it to pick me up from a depressing day.
                From high school to my current life, I have been adapting to today’s popular music. I used to think that the mainstream music today was terrible and I would never like it. Although I say this, I’ve learned to love this music because, whenever I would go to dances or outings, this kind of music always pops up. Today, I love listening to acoustic sounding artist such as Bruno Mars. I love how his songs are simple but are very nice to listen to. I love the sound of a beautiful acoustic guitar.

songs I dislike

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDTZ7iX4vTQ&ob=av2e

Foster the people - Pumped up kicks

I don't really like this song because I don't like the voice of the lead vocalist, and I don't really like the tune of the song.

Lil Wayne - How to Love

I don't like this song because I don't like the voice of Lil Wayne. I feel like he should be rapping, not trying to sing.

Jennifer Lopez - On the Floor

I don't like this song, because when I hear this song I always feel like Jennifer Lopez is trying too hard to fit into this generation's music. This song is not very creative either.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gyLR4NfMiI&ob=av2e

Chris Brown - Look at me now

I don't like this song either because does not represent Chris Brown well. He should not be trying to rap when he is a singer.

Justin Bieber - Never Say Never

I don't like this song because I feel like Justin Bieber and Jaden Smith wasn't a great combination. Jaden Smith's rap wasn't very great.

Songs I Love

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kINAKLhTDOY

Somewhere in Brooklyn by Bruno Mars

I enjoy this song because I love how simple it is and how nice and peaceful it sounds.I also like it because it kind of reminds me of old school music, I think it might be Bruno's voice that creates that feeling.

Count on me by Bruno Mars

I enjoy listening to this song because I really like the lyrics, I feel it is creative. I love how the song is different than ordinary upbeat songs. It is more mellow and heartwarming.

Miss You by Blink-182

I love this song because it is supposed to be a rock song and a rock group, but they made a slow and mellow song. I like the lyrics, because they are really unique and great metaphors.

Mad by Ne-Yo

I love this song because unlike a lot of music today, there is a distinct piano in it. I also really like how he blends the title into the chorus.

With You by Chris Brown

I really like this song because i feel like there is more meaning in it than many other songs by Chris Brown. I also like this song because it is pretty catchy.
