Freaking Awesome: Music Reccomendations for this Fantastic Friday

I've been checking out a ton of great music lately. So I want to share because music is not any good unless shared and enjoyed by mass quantities of music (except Nickleback, they suck regardless)

The Weekly Dig: Mumford and Sons

But I will hold on hope
And I won't let you choke
On the noose around your neck

And I'll find strength in pain
And I will change my ways
I'll know my name as it's called again

Earplay: Quality Headphones Matter

We've all been in a mood to just lie on our beds and listen to music. Just check out of life and enjoy the tunes of a great band. This can prove more difficult than it sounds. When you slip into "Music Land" and your headphones are crackling, popping and don't have a good mix of bass, mid and treble sounds, your music sucks. So I'm going to give you some tips for buying great headphones for just enjoying music

Being Less Mainstream Should be More Popular

HIPSTER HATERS LEAVE NOW. This blog post will get you up in arms and personally, I don't feel like playing host to a flame war. So anyways, I believe that the music industry is suffocating itself. These over produced, pop stars are what people crave now and the true musical talent is dying. I'm going to show you why you should be more hipster and listen to good music.

The Weekly Dig: Muse

Muse. Effin Muse. Some call them lyrical gods.Some call them genius. I call them awesome. They are for sure my favorite band of all time. And you will learn to appreciate them more by the end of this article.

So this entry is going to show all you kids great ways to listen to music on the internet, LEGALLY!

Musicals: The Combination of My Two Favorite Things

Last night, I finally saw the movie version of RENT. It made me think, "why did I hate musicals a few months ago?" They're the perfect combination of music, one of my major passions, and movies, something I am a fanatic about. The story is developed through the music, making the songs relevant to what I'm actually watching instead of some weird correlation the director thought would work in pre-production. I've also found that the plot to a musical easier to understand and remember though some would say that they are oversimplified or convoluted romps through fantasy situations. Some would also say that serious narratives can't take place within something based around a whimsical tune. To these people I say, you're wrong.


Thank you for reading my first real post on this blog, I think I've finally found what I'm going to use for it. Hopefully going to have biweekly updates starting soon. Check back for another update soon.
