In the Cold Cold Night

Hello fellow music lovers!!

As you all know, The White Stripes are a pretty well known band. Though they have not been active since about 2011, the band is still really popular. Now, I'm not here to talk about the band, well not mostly. Im here to talk to about Meg White, the drummer.

Though her drumming is disregarded by many male 'critics' as the worst female drummer ever, I would highly disagree. If anyone knew anything about the band, they would know that Meg had never had any lessens in drumming. Jack describes her drumming as primal, which is true considering her lack in the general knowledge of it, but the band and the music was basically built around her lack of excessive drum skills for the sole reason that her style was simple. The White Stripes are unique in keeping up with a single style of music and thats what it was about. Meg is an amazing drummer for the sound of their music alone because it was built up on that basis.

Now aside her drumming, Meg has only been known to sing about 4-5 songs within their entirety. One song in particular stood out to me because I consider it a favorite of mine. The song is called In The Cold Cold Night. The song is amazing. Meg is not much of a singer, but her voice is very relaxing and soothing. Its such a great song. 10/10 recommend.

Wiped Out!

Hello!

So earlier today, I was singing Sweater Weather by The Neighbourhood when I remembered that they had recently came out with a new album. The album is called Wiped Out! And it twas released October 30th, 2015. I thought about doing a review, but it'll come out more like I'm raving about the album because I loved every single song. I'll admit though that I was a bit hesitant to listen to this album because they're last album, which wasn't an album more like a mixtape, wasn't my favorite because their sound was different from their album I Love You. Their was a heavy rap influence and I didn't know how to feel about it. But! This new album was amazing musically and lyrically. The songs are deep and personal.  It's great, trust me. I'll list the names of the songs below and I'll have a video provided for each song so you guys can get a listen to what exactly I'm talking about. Enjoy!

Sad Sad Sad

Hello fellow music lovers!

Despite my warm introduction, I'm feeling a bit down today. I saw something that made me quite a bit upset, but it'll pass. Since I'm feeling blue, I decided to present you guys with a song that makes me even more upset because of how slow and kind of saddish it is. No big deal. The song is called Four Walls by Broods.  Amazing amazing song guys. And while you're at it, just listen to all their songs. They're all amazing.

Somewhere Only We Know

Heelloo!!

So I was feeling a bit nostalgic, so I decided to present you guys a song that brings me a lot of nostalgia. The song is called Somewhere Only We Know by Keane. I don't know what it is about that song, but it just takes me somewhere else, somewhere happy and all that. Sappy, I know, but it's true. The song is catchy and the lyrics are great, the instrumentals are amazing and the song it just a masterpiece. The song was released back in 2004 from their album Hopes and Fears. The song was also nominated for a World Music Award for World's Best Song.

THROOWWW BAACCKK!!!

Hello guys!

Today I decided to do a musical throwback. I'm sure you know what that means, but just incase you don't, a musical throwback is taking an old song and bringing it back. This song was released back in December, 1968. The song is called Build Me Up Buttercup by The Foundations. The song was released as a single. It hit #1 on the Cash Box singles chart, #3 on US Billboard Hot 100 in early 1969, and also hit #2 in the UK.
