Even though I wasn't there all week and didn't listen to Paul Simons whole album I thought that his song Graceland was pretty good. It reminds me of a mix between country and rock. I like the upbeat tempo. I also like how Paul's and his back up singers voice harmonize very well. I also like the diversity in the instruments.

I don't really like the song This Girl is on Fire by Alicia Keys which is the first video of her singing. I don't like it because its the song is just kind of boring to me. But in the second video is a girl named Emily Louise who can sing so well. When i first heard the song and then the video I thought that the girl was lip syncing because it sounded so much like the original.

During Spring break my family and I drove to Destin Florida so there was a lot of music to listen to in those 12 hours. I was riding with my sister and she had spotify on her phone which is a great app to have on your phone for long car trips. We listened to a lot of of everything like 2000's pop, rap, country and about anything else you can think of. But when we went through different cities or states we would play the music that fit the place we were in. When we were in texas we played country and songs like Miles and Miles of Texas. When we went through Callin Baton Rouge Louisiana we played Baton Rouge. Then when we went through Alabama we played Sweet home alabama.

I really liked 80's hip hop day! I knew a couple songs that I didn't know was from the 80's. I also thought the music videos of all the videos were funny and some were just weird. One of my favorite videos was the Walk this Way Remix with Run DMC. I thought that this music video was really creative. I also like this song because it is a mix between rock and hip hop.

Elvis Costello's voice is so smooth I really like listening to him sing. I also really like his song Alison. I like it because of the lyrics they are so creative. Not only in this song but in all of his music. I also like this song because I like the instruments all together and especially the guitar.

I love listening to Its A Great Day To Be Alive because it always puts me in a good mood. It is kind of a older song it was written about 13 years ago but it is still really good. I really the strumming of the guitar and banjo in this song. And to top it off he has a good voice. I really like the lyrics "It's a great day to be alive I know the sun still shining when I close my eyes."

I'm going to see Josh Turner after spring break at the rodeo and I'm so excited. When i hear him sing I always picture him differently then he really is. Every time I hear his music I wonder how that voice comes from him because it it doesn't look
like it would match up to me. Because it is so deep I think of someone older then he. i cant believe that he is only 35. Before I had even known who he was i thought he was some older man. But I love his voice he has a great voice and his music is fun to listen to. I'm excited to see him live to see how he can sing in real life.

The police I thought was really good. Their instruments were really in sync and sounded great together. When hearing them I wouldn't have thought of them as punk I would have just though it was a rock band. But there are some influences from punk but not enough for me to classify it as punk. Now that I have listened to them I understand a little but about punk and grown to like it a little bit. I never knew what was considered as punk.
