My Favorite Album Artworks of the Decade!

this is like my favorite albums, but with art!

10. Dangerdoom's 'The Mouse and The Mask' So rad!

9. Of Montreal's 'Skeletal Lamping' This is a bit un-moral, coming from Kevin Barnes mind. I wouldn't put it past him...

8. Andrew W.K's 'I Get Wet' just such a great piece of artwork for such an alright artist...

7. Animal Collective's 'Merriweather Post Pavilion' you look at this and think you are on an acid trip! Tell me you don't like it.


6. Muse's 'Resistance' This is on my top 5 and barely was edged out of this top 5 by Jay-z!


5. Jay-z 'The Blueprint 3' is just crazy and so mellow at the same time!


4. The Yeah Yeah Yeah's 'It's Blitz' Self Explanatory.

3. Radiohead's 'Kid A' is just so obscure and rad, just like the music that comes off of this album!


2. Kid CuDi's 'Man on The Moon: End of Day-Deluxe Edition" So much better than the original.

1. And coming in First place is Four Year Strong's 'Rise or Die Trying' SO RAD! just look at it!!! So cool with space and wizards and sharks that are robots, and Giant Squids!

Required Listen!: Muse - Absolution.

This is my first post in a while, and it is going to be a short one, but I really need to tell you that the album 'Absolution' is one of my favorite albums at the moment. it is super rad, and many websites have listened it as one of the best albums of the Decade! So I would say to you that you should definitely listen to this album.

Obviously, or Else I wouldn't be playing it.

Alright, here I am in 'The Badger' today, and I take out my headphones so that everyone can hear that I am playing The Cure's 'Boys Don't Cry' and my friend Donald says to me "This is a good band". This got me thinking, why do people say that? Is it to let you know that they are hip, and with the trend, is it because they want acceptance that they already have? While I was thinking, I realized that I am just like everyone else, I will go up to music, ask who it is, and leave my pointless remark. What is the deal? I might be making mountains out of mole hills, but I don't think it is just because I just want to make conversation about music, I think it is all for attention and the self aggrandizing feeling that you get when you let everyone know that you are musically oriented. Watch yourself, and see if you do it yourself! Also, I would like to recommend that you do listen to "Love Cats" by The Cure!

Music Spotlight of The Week - Head Automatica

This is my post for music that I think is awesome, and this week the music that I think is awesome is Head Automatica, I love this band, they have some very nice guitar, and I love this guys voice! It is so crazy. A recommendation for a listen would be 'Graduation Day' or 'Lying Through Your Teeth' or the album 'Popaganda.

Required Listen - The Grey Album!

Alright-tee guys, I have a album that is my top album of the Decade! it is The Grey Album by Danger Mouse. This thing is amazing, he sampled a bunch of beatles song, and rapped to them, I am not a fan of people re-doing The Beatles, but this stuff is super rad! Check this out (The only link I could find at School)

This link is good for "at school" but it has some missing links. I would advise trying to find a better place to listen to the album (or download it)

This album has some explicit content so be warned.

English, Waving, and The Blindside!

Alright, there is my blog, it has been awhile, and I am glad to be back.

I was sitting in english today, and I absolutely hate my table! (sorry to be all angry and mean, but I really do hate it.) This girl that I will leave unmentioned was going on one of her usual mindless rants about nothing, when she came across a subject that is dear to my heart, Kid Cudi. She was telling her friend how much she loves the song 'Up, Up, and Away' which happens to be my favorite song on the album. To start off, I was glad that she liked the song, and Cudi was getting more popular amoung the "Popular" crowds, but then she said, "I love the song because it is about how good weed is for you" and I thought to myself, "You are the biggest idiot" First off, the song is about weed, but it isn't about how it is good for you, it is about how he uses weed to forget about life, and all the 'Hatas' that keep trying to bring him down. Then out of no where they started their discussion on how much they smoke weed, and I don't judge with that subject, but when the next thing you say shouldn't be "Wanna go to EFY next year?" Weed, and a spiritual gathering, very classy! Enough of hating on my english class though.

Another thing that I realized while getting the mail was that people feel obligated to give a complimentary wave when you see an acquaintance that you usually don't talk to.

e.g. I was getting the mail one day, and I saw my Young Men's leader's wife driving up the street, I don't usually talk to her, but I decided to give a wave out of good hospitality, and no joke, she was talking on the phone at the time, take her hand off of the steering wheel, and wave, almost missing the corner and running into my basketball hoop! I thought it was humorous.

My final topic is the movie 'The Blindside'. I personally have not seen it, but honestly, it looks like a piece of carp. I understand that it was based on a true story, and that the kid became successful, but when you take that story, and commercialize it, then the true meaning of the story is ruined, and that is what I think this movie is, a carpy movie that does no justice to the Character. Also I am not a fan of Sandra Bullock. I will use the example 'We Are Marshell'. The Whole team died in a plane crash, and by the end of the movie I didn't care, I was more interested in matthew mcconaughey, and his character becoming a good couch, this is my opinion, and you are intitled to yours. Please, no hateful feedback (pat/whoever reads this, which is probably just pat)

Music Recommendation: Kid Cudi!

This rapper never ceases to amaze me with his awesome music and videos to boot! He is my first music recommendation of 2010! here are some of his videos that you should definitely watch!

Pursuit Of Happiness - 2010 Theme

Make Her Say - Very nice, and has Kanye!

Day 'N' Nite - A personal favorite, and amazing video!

Distance Learning Lab

This post is about how much I love the Distance Learning Lab at my school! OMG. Here are some reasons why I love this class:

1. Zachary C Allred is in this class! This kid is a riot! Honestly, we had this whole conversation of the end of the world and he says "No! The whole world is getting warmer, and we're all going to die!" and right now he is talking about making a german chocolate bar! It is great.

2. Tyler Wilde is in this class! This kid brings the racial comments that you need to get by in life, and he is just like a wild card, yet not in any specific group. (It's Always Sunny reference)

3. I do nothing. There is nothing I like more than sitting in a dark room, and just chilling, and talking about nothing!

4. Tetris. Self Explanitory

5. Mrs. Randall. She is crazy go nuts! (let's hope she never looks at this blog).

And I have no other perks that I can think of, but if you get the chance to take this class do!
