Red Hot Chili Peppers

I personally really like the Red Hot Chili Peppers. This album had a more beastie boy rap sound mixed with rock and it was kind of weird. Minus their popular songs on this album, Under The Bridge, and Give it Away, I didn't really like this album.

NEEDTOBREATHE

Last weekend I attended a performance at Stubbs by Needtobreathe. I can honestly say it was one of the most amazing performances I have ever seen. Their music is so powerful and you can really tell they are happy to be up there singing. They have so much passion in their voices when they sing. I would recommend going to see them perform once in your life.

Nirvana

It's really sad that Kurt Cobain killed himself. He was such a great musician and it's a shame he took his own life. It's strange that he made the stage look like a funeral with all of the flowers on Nirvana Unplugged. I definitely would have gone to a Nirvana Concert if Kurt Cobain was still the lead singer. His voice is so raspy and I love it. He really made that band.

Juicy J

Tonight I'm going to a rap concert and I'm not a huge rap fan but I'm pretty excited. A ton of my friends are going and so it should be pretty fun. I know about two songs. Ones called Show Out and another is called Bandz A Make Her Dance but it should be pretty interesting.

Trojans-Atlas Genius makeup blog

Atlas Genius has slowly started becoming more known through the media. His big hit that is starting to play on the Radio 'Trojans' has become viral. I believe the song is a metaphor. It's not about the Trojan horse from Greek mythology or Trojans as in Trojan Condoms. I think it's about a Trojan virus and all of his thoughts are looked to as files on a computer. A Trojan virus is usually attached to file you download and once in your computer spreads to corrupt the system. So with that it seems as though he had gone through a past breakup and he's trying to get over it. You can try throwing out things or try anything but nothing will work it will stay with you like a virus.

Big Jet Plane-Lady of the Sunshine Makeup Blog

This song is really good and I really like the lyrics. I think it has to do with meeting someone for the very first time but not an introductory type. More like when you're doing your everyday thing and someone grabs your attention and everything around you seems to stop but that one person. And then you realize you're staring so you try not to make it obvious but you end up missing the opportunity to see if the attraction was real. Here's the first part of the song 'She said hello mister, please to meet ya'; I wanna hold her, I wanna kiss her; she smelled of daisies, smelled of daisies; she drive me crazy, drive me crazy'

The Weeknd

Abel Tesfaye better known as the weekend, has energized R&B fans making them tired of the usual slow jams. He released his album Triology Novemeber 13 and skyrocketed to fame. His crew is called XO and some fans believe it stands for hugs and kisses but others think it represents the drugs ecstasy and oxycontin.

Party in the USA

Party in the USA was a song sung by Miley Cyrus that was extremely over played. When it first came out it went viral making many sing along but now when I hear it, it makes me want to turn off the radio. When the songs. Are overplayed they are ruined. It's the radio stations fault.

Smells like Teen Spirit makeup blog

Smells like Teen Spirit is also one of my favorite songs by Nirvana. It's the first song on the album and a great way to start it off. The drums in the beginning just set the tone for the rest of the album. I almost feel like I could just be driving in the car blaring this song and screaming it at the top of my lungs. I love it!

Nirvana

Nirvana would have to be one of my favorite Rock bands of all time. Their music just puts me in a good mood. My favorite song would probably be Lithium. My mom was a huge Nirvana fan along with Pearl Jam, and Red Hot Chili Peppers, but that's probably one of the reasons I like them all so much. I'm actually thankful now that she would listen to them because I feel like I have such a vast music taste.

Selena Gomez Makeup Blog

When you were growing up do you remember singing to your parents? Did they tell you, you were good even though you knew you were bad? Selena Gomez recently performed at the VMAs and let me tell you... There was a lot of hate on her going on. I think she should have stuck to acting. Her new music is like nails on a chalkboard in my opinion. She even was lip synching. I bet her parents were the ones that said "You are an amazing singer" but she shouldn't have listened.

Kid cudi

It's relieving to know that there are some artists out there who really genuinely care about other people and not just all the fame. I've always been a big fan of Kid Cudi and I like how he raps about things that are meaningful. Hi new album Indicud was officially dedicated to an austinite, Ben Breedlove. Kid Cudi is such an inspirational amazing person and I think some people who knew Ben will think it's very sentimental of him.

NWA

90s rap in general is good but in particular I really liked NWA. Their songs were catchy and the upbeat beats were what really made it fun to listen to!

Hunter Hayes

Hunter Hayes is a new country artist that just has gotten big over this past year. I like his music but to me he sounds really high pitched and almost like he's straining his voice. They're cute meanings with the songs but his most known song "wanted" has really gone big. Here are some lyrics: "I wanna wrap you up, wanna kiss your lips, I, want to make you feel wanted."

30 seconds to mars

One of my favorite alternative rock bands of all time is 30 Seconds to Mars. Jared Leto is so passionate about what his songs he sings and I really like it mostly because you feel like the songs are meaningful. He has so much power in his voice and I love it! Before I did I definitely will see one, if not many, of their shows.

Mackelmore

Mackelmore's popular song "Thrift Shop" has been overplayed everywhere. It's on every music station and is played way too often. They're less popular songs such as "Otherside" and "Same Love" have meaningful lyrics which I really love. If you haven't listened to Mackelmore you should check them out.

Rihanna

Rihanna is my new favorite artist. Her new album Unapologetic is amazing and I really like how sultry her voice sounds. She doesn't strain her voice at all.

1957 makeup blog

1957 is a kind of recently played song on the radio sung by Milo Greene. I feel like it's beginning to be overplayed but I really enjoy listening to it. It's a really soft easy flowing song. It's a little repetitive on the verses but that's kind of why I like! It doesn't seem annoying.

M83

This electric/alternative band always seems to impress me. One of my favorite songs they sing is called "We Own The Sky" because it's really calming. They use a lot of cool sounds that you can faintly hear in the background. One of their songs that I'm sure you'd be familiar with is called "Midnight City." I also like that song! You should listen to them if you haven't.

Elvis Costello

Elvis Costello is pretty good. His lyrics to his songs are actually pretty meaningful to him and you can tell it's not just random words put together. He knows how to put things in a way where you have to think about them for a while. I would say he's one of my favorites from the 70's.
