Die Antwoord

This week in astronomy Mr. Odell (who listens to a ton of weird music) played a band called 'Die Antwoord'. We watched the music video for the song 'Fatty Boom Boom'. It's probably the most disturbing thing I've ever seen in my life. I would go say watch the video for yourself but it's nasty. He was telling us the story about the band and it's a brother and sister from a really rough part of South Africa. I don't think you'll like their music but they're interesting. In the music video for 'Fatty Boom Boom' they're making fun of what Americans think of Africa. Throughout the whole video Lady Gaga is touring Africa and on every street corner there is a lion/panther. 

One of their better songs:

Being For the Benefit of Mr. Kite

To be honest I think this song is my favorite on Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band because of the scene in Across the Universe. It's so trippy but it's funny. Like the guy who is singing the song in the movie seems kind of like he's making fun of the song by adding in his own vague little comments. But I also really like the song because of how they recorded the voices on the track. They sound echoey and I like the kind of creepy Circus music. I also think its just proof of how creative they were that they could take the poster of a circus and turn it into a song with really cool music/sounds.

The Lady is a Tramp

I was scrolling through my Itunes library and saw a song with Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett, I had totally forgotten about 'The Lady is a Tramp'. This song is so good, Lady Gaga is weird but her voice is amazing. Her and Tony Bennett's voices go together perfectly and it sounds like a song from the 40 or 50's.

Duffy

Recently i've been trying to find more music because im bored of all the stuff on my ipod now and a song popped into my head from like 4 years ago. It was a song by an artist named Duffy, she had a few hits and then disappeared (like MIA). I didn't like her big hit, the name is Mercy, because it was too overplayed. That's why i can't listen to the radio anymore, everything is just beat to death.
The song i remembered was 'Warwick Avenue', in my opinion it was the best song on her album. She sounds like a mix of Amy Winehouse and Adele. I think you would like her.

The Beach Boys

My elementary school was the Davis Dolphins, so naturally we had ocean themed EVERYTHING. Which made The Beach Boys a good band choice. They were always played during P.E., and we would sometimes make up workout routines to 'Surfin' U.S.A'. I can't remember a year when we didn't have some special routine to one of The Beach Boys songs. So they were a pretty big deal when I was in elementary school.


Also my life was completed when they were on Full House:

The Beatles

I've been getting into the Beatles recently, I downloaded their first album and its been on every time I play my music in my car. I think it's crazy how different their music was from the start and the end.

Lorde

so i went camping this weekend with some friends and the whole trip one of the girls i was with was playing Lorde's new album 'Pure Heroine'. I was suprised that we were actually listening to the whole album instead of that one song 'Royals'. I love the mix of her music, it's like techno rock. I think you would like some of her less popular songs.
