Weezer Top 3 Songs- Perfect Situation, Pork and Beans, Island in the Sun

         

          Post number three! Well I decided to go with a little something different this week. I didn't feel like just posting one song, so I am posting three. These three songs are my top three favorite songs written and performed by Weezer. Weezer is an American alternative band that started up in 1992. They have had three changes of members in their band over the years, but they are still one group.

          Number three on my favorites list from Weezer is Island in the Sun. This song is very mellow and relaxing and I can honestly just sit back, relax and listen to it over and over again. Whenever I listen to it I want to just go to somewhere peaceful and sit back and think about life as it is. I would recommend this to anyone who has a relaxing personality.

          My second favorite Weezer song is Pork and Beans. This song is a little different from Island in the Sun. Pork and Beans is a more rock or as some would call it a "headbanger" (I think that it is a stupid phrase).

          When I listen to Pork and Beans and read the lyrics to the song, I feel like they are telling the people listening to their song to do the things that you want to do. You don't have to prove anything to anyone, so just be yourself. This is an all-time favorite song of mine that I have kept in my heart since my freshmen year of high school.

          Finally, my favorite Weezer song is… Perfect Situation! I love the way that it is sung. It is sung with a lot of passion and emotion. They talk about how they always come up short, and they know what to do, and will never give up. They are also talking about how love does crazy things, and that their minds can be easily persuaded. Easily my favorite Weezer song.

After Midnight - Blink 182

      What's up everyone?! Blog number two! I had a little struggle in picking out a song I wanted to blog about this week, but I finally came to a conclusion. I decided to go with After Midnight by Blink 182. This is the groups second brand new single. It will be appearing on their upcoming album, Neighborhoods, which will be in stores September 27th.

         I am really excited about Blink's new album. It is going to hopefully please everyone because I know it is getting a lot of hype, but I have faith that Blink will not disappoint. Blink 182's sound is quite unique. It really has that 90's punk rock sound that was so popular back when most of us were just kids growing up. This California native band really hit the scene in 1999 when they released two of their most popular singles, What's My Age Again and All the Small Things. They have sold over 27 million albums worldwide and with the release of their new album they will probably go up a lot more.

         Blink 182 has a very strong fan basis. They were a extremely influencial group during the mid and late 90's. Many think of Blink 182 and Sum 41 whenever you mention punk rock groups. That music has sort of faded and I would even say that it has died down over the years. Our generation is more of a hip-hop/rap and pop type of music generation.

         For me I love old school punk rock and I do like a lot of old school and some new school hip-hop and rap. There is a limit though to how much of the pop music I can take at once. Thanks for reading! Comment on my blog!

August - Bear Attack

First post on the blog! I really love this song, it's very relaxing and peaceful. The group Bear Attack is an Los Angeles based Indie rock band whose sound has been described as reminiscent of Radiohead. The founding members met upon arriving at USC to be apart of the inaugural class of the Popular Music Program, and after playing together as backup musicians in various acts, they decided to start their own project. Drawing upon diverse musical backgrounds, each member uses their individual voice to create a unique group sound. These guys and girl, mainly perform in the LA area so they aren't very big yet but I love the way they sound! Find them on facebook and become fans!
