Ive gotten slowly more use to rap and hip hop now not just because of Mr. A's Class but also because on Ratatat. These Two Guys (a DJ, and  guitarist) are excellent on their own but when rap artist like  B.I.G., Z-ro, Slim Thug,U.G.K and many more are introduced to the mix, there just ain't no stoppin'

The Octopus Project

Oh man.... you guys need to check out this phenomenal Austin ambient alternative pop band, did I mention there from Austin.They create new sounds using distorted guitar's and pianos as well as amplifiers with electronic beats.A band like this is worth knowing so I would like everyone to Please get educated you Austin-Alternative Listeners

Iv been listening to TV on the Radio and they have made their own genre of music. I cant put my finger on it but its somewhere in between physcadelic and ambient beats. Lyrics kick ass! Please listen to them!!

So the beastie boys were a collaboration of different genres but iv concluded that since the era of funk was in its prime just before beastie boys came on the scene; the beastie boys got most of their inspiration from funk and disco music. Crazy right!!

Listened to Elvis Costello is class today and honestly; i dont really like him that much and ill tell you why as well as some good things he does. I like how he and the rest of the band play typical guitar, bass,drums, singer ( i guess there wasnt much of a choice back then) but to me that is what true rockers play, im saying this in the way that isnt the attitude part of  a rocker like the "punk" mindset you describe in class; im talking about what rock sounds and looks like to me besides the words/ attitude.
 I dont like how you cant hear a goddamn thing he says like he tried to do the old radio-like sound that Julian Casablancas from the Strokes did (even though strokes came way after). I dont like how the guitar sounds like someone banging two metal pipes together and how it hurt my years. I DO like how he has such snide remarks in his lyrics but i think what i dislike the most in his music and i guess all music that has this feature: SEX. I cant stand how everything is about sex and how they cant seem to understand that there is more to life than a hot babe or your bitchy ex-girlfriend to sing about. Even the Beatles got me hating the word "love" just alittle bit more now, i just like listening to deeper things or just other problems in the world or that are in their life because those ideas help me get on with my life and thinking more in depth about my life rather than hearing about how this girl use to love me, now we broke up, and now i have more feelings about her.      Get over it. Come back to me with something more meaningful, or just stop getting famous so that other people wont have to be beatin over the head with  more crappy songs about how your too lazy to sing about anything else.

I am just really glad to know that the strokes had been strongly influenced by Ramones, they even dress similar (jean jacket or leather with skinny jeans). But i havnt really listened to Ramones on my own personal time but when we listened to them in class; there were alot of songs that ive defiantly heard. Im gonna go  listen to the Ramones now.

THE SHINS

The shins have been in my music collection for many years but i feel that when i return to old bands and listen to their albums (like Chutes Too Narrow) i remember just how beautiful James Mercer's lyrics are.
