This Rocks!

I loved music before I was even born. I pretty much listened to whatever my dad listened to. I really loved the Beach Boys, Beatles, ACDC and anything new wave and electronic. And I still do. As I got older I was more into more heavy metal with Rage Against the Machine, Metallica, Guns and Roses, Pearl Jam and Nirvana. I like punk music like Green Day and Blink 182. And I also listened to some Rap music like Wutang Clan or Ruff Ryders. In addition I love my one hit wonders.

I love all music except country or jazz. Country is depressing and jazz is just random. There are one or two good songs I like once in a while like I Need You Now by Lady Antebellum. I like to listen to different kinds of music depending on my mood and where I’m at. I like classical music for a movie like Star Wars or Lord of the Rings but I would never listen to hip hop while watching Star Wars. And I would listen to hip hop at a club but not Beethoven. I like listening to rap metal when I’m feeling angry or want to get pumped up for hockey. And I listen to Cold Play when I go under the tree and cry.

My musical abilities are useless but I can play a mean triangle and tambourine. In grade school I played the cello because you can sit down and feel comfortable. Also my two other classmates who played the cello took music lessons and so I just faked it. And I was good. I’d close my eyes, sway my head and pretend to use my fingers. Then I got a guitar a few years ago and I thought I would get lessons and play it every day. Now it’s just lying there in the corner with a broken string.

At college we had a music sharing program like Napster only for the campus. It was quick and easy. I had every single good song there was. I think I had over 4000 songs. And then my computer crashed and I lost everything. So I started from scratch and used Limewire only to loose it all again from non porn related viruses this time. So now I only have 700 songs on my Ipod and I’m starting to get sick of all of my songs. I’ve been listening to a lot pop and techno music now. If I had to choose my three favorite bands they’d be ACDC, Pink Floyd and Matthew Good Band.

ACDC is the greatest band ever. My favorite songs are Thunderstruck, Back in Black and Highway to Hell. Every time I hear Thunderstruck on the radio I say this songs rocks and head bang. Back when I wrestled, I would listen to ACDC and Rage Against the Machine to pump me up for the next match. I would love to see them in concert.

Pink Floyd is the best band to listen to while you’re stoned. They have the trippiest songs like Wish You Were Here, Hey You or the Wall. I love the Jukebox at Two Amigos that has the best of Pink Floyd album. I love playing Shine on you Crazy Diamonds, Sheep and Echoes. This is over a half an hour of Pink Floyd. The waiter actually turned if off and said stop playing bad music and she didn’t even give me my two bucks back.

One of coolest things to do while stoned is watch the movie Wizard of Oz in mute and play the Dark Side of the Moon. Every thing is synchronized. The lyrics are describing what is happening in the movie. You can hear the Tin Man’s heart beating or the bells ring at the same time. The coolest part is once you go into Munchkin land the song Money plays and all of the midgets are dancing to it.

Matthew Good Band is the most under rated bands from Canada. My favorite album is Under Dogs and that’s exactly what they are. The band is sort of an alternative rock and has a very unique sound The whole album Under Dogs is great with Apparitions; Everything is Automatic and Indestructible. Defiantly download other songs like Load Me Up, Hello Time Bomb and Antipop.

So there was karaoke at Two Amigos and I was wasted. My friends pressured me to get up there and try it out. They chose Phil Collins for whatever reason. I would rather listen to Ghost Busters. Now I cannot sing worth a damn except for Sing to the Mountains at church. And normally I’d be nervous and have stage fright but I was really drunk. So I was basically yelling the song and the bouncer actually stopped me half way through and I’m like no I’m not finished!
