mt eden

Mt Eden (aside from being a rather large hill in Auckland, New Zealand) is the stage name for Jesse Cooper, who takes his name from his home town, Mt Eden. I think he has a interesting way of mixing his music. Its alot of relaxing, chill dubstep i guess you could say. I enjoy him here is one of his songs.

This album is the amazing follow up to their great debut album Led Zeppelin I. This album doesn't have as many blues influenced songs, it has more hardrocker songs. Also, this album includes John Bonham's epic drum solo, Moby Dick. Jimmy Page adds some amazing guitar solo, that make thw album even greater. Each member of the band contributes to the album, which is why I think it is such a great album. This is also a great album to start with, if you want to start listening to Led Zeppelin. I think this album is just a little better than Led Zeppelin I.

Man on the moon

As a solo artist, well... his second full-length, Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager manages to render the jury still out. His 2009 debut, Man on the Moon: The End of the Day, was a modest commercial success but a mortifying creative face-plant, a compilation of the most two-dimensional art-school-kid clichés imaginable, over unrelievedly monotonous electro tracks. It was hard to find a more self-satisfied and less likable pop record that year.

Ripremix

Rip remix was a good movie. It shows the perspective of a artist that's music is getting "stolen". I think that if they show it from another perspective it would be more convincing. I myself will go download a song and not feel bad. To me I'm this society today that isn't stealing there music. It's almost like advertisement to me. If I hear a song I like I might go get the album or go see them.

Mac Miller is a rapper from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania who is also known for his work in The Ill Spoken group. Miller is a self-taught musician, who plays piano, guitar and the drums as well as rapping.In 2009, he released his mixtape The High Life as well as his own preview album, The Jukebox, which is the predecessor to his upcoming Class Clown album. His music is great and I think that he sets himself apart from other rappers.

Woodstock

History was not only recreated, but also significantly enhanced, on August 12, 13, and 14 at the Woodstock 1994 festival held in Saugerties, NY. 30+ bands: every single one played their hearts out and put on great performances. The movie is a bit long and kind of boring but it was a very historical event.

Trans Siberian orchestra

The trans Siberian orchestra is one of the most innovative and awesome orchestras that you can go see today. I'm getting an opportunity to go see them this winter break and I can't wait. There music and sounds are incredible. I'm super pumped to go see them and I'm sure it'll be one of the most fun concerts I've been to.
