last.blog.

This is going to be my reflection, end of the semester, looking back, last blog thing.  I have to say this semester has gone by so much faster than I ever expected it to.  I really enjoyed this class, even though I didn’t talk much I really do feel like I learned so much about bands that I didn’t know, and I really feel like I learned how to analyze music.  Before coming to this class I would just listen to music for enjoyment and I would never even try to listen to it to see where it came from or what kind of music it really is.  But now after this class I find myself doing that more and more, even though I do still listen to music just primarily out of enjoyment.  I’m so glad that I took the class because I’ve really gotten into bands that I’ve never listened to.  I was never really into the classic bands except for the like the beatles, but now I find myself listening to older music and I must say that I’m loving music from the 60’s more and more.  So I’m really grateful because I’ve found bands that I now love that I’m not sure I would have ever listened to had it not been for the class.

Also, I have to say that website, I am so incredibly proud to be a part of it.  I think it really turned out fantastic and I think it’s amazing that we were able to pull it together in such a short period of time.  I love how all the biographies sound and it’s all just so like a cover band and it’s so great, I love it.

So yeah, last post since finals are coming up and now all I have to do is study all the time…yay.  But yeah this class was really great and I’m really glad that I took it because I learned so much and had a great time doing it!

 au revoir!

concerts.concerts.concerts.

So in class the other day we discussed which concerts were the best we had ever been to.  I’m not gonna lie, I really havn’t been to any that have made me like die with joy, and I havn’t been to any true rock shows ever.  All I ever get to go to because of my location is small little shows of random bands.  And mainly I’ve had to travel to Charlotte to see any actual good concert anyways because no one really comes to southwest virgina which really blows, but now that I’m up here I suppose I could go to more in D.C. which I definitely plan on doing as soon as I find a way to get a ride up there.  I would completely die to see Death Cab for Cutie live, I’ve been waiting for years for them to come somewhere around where we are and they never do, but I’m pretty sure thats my number 1 band to see live before I die.  Because I just love them so much, they are amazing and always have been.  I would also kill to see Ben Harper and Jack Johnson live.  Together would be fantastic but separate would also work, they are both amazing artists who I am constantly listening to.  And lastly, I would love to see the Foo Fighters, I’m a huge fan of Dave Grohl, I have been since Nirvana, Everlong is one of my favorite songs and will probably always be one of my favorites.  So if i get to see all these artists before I die I’ll definitely be good to go.

final project…

Today we took the album cover pictures, I think they turned out great! For the most part everybody showed up which was fantastic, and we took some great shots that I think represent what we wanted for the final website.  I still feel like we have so much left to do though, but I’m not sure what to do with my job as being a meeting secretary.  I feel like I’m really not contributing that much by just sitting there and taking notes, but I guess that someone has to do it right?

Anyways, I think the website looks really great right now and it’s only going to get better as we continue to add stuff to it, hopefully we’ll be able to finish all of the things we need to get done seeing as our deadline is like this week!  Ahhhhh, I’m sure it will get done and it will be fab.
