I've been thinking about learning how to play guitar lately. Since ACL I've been thinking about it. The feeling of playing on stage just seems amazing. I'm kind of exited to start playing because I've always wanted to be in a band when i was younger.

At the beginning of this class I was not a fan of The Rolling Stones. I did not like them at all, they sounded terrible to me. We started to listen to their early music and again, I did not like them. The other day we listened to Aftermath. It blew my mind start to finish. Paint it black is my favorite song by them so that was a great opening track to start of the album. I'm getting to used to Jagger's voice as we go on.

While I was at ACL, I was disappointed in Neil Young a little bit. I love neil young, but he did not play any of is popular songs, which was sad because i was curious to see how his soft country songs would have been  fixed into a rock and roll sound. Another let down was M83. They did not really step up their game for what I saw. Music was to quite and they did not exite me. My favorite part of ACL was Weezer. They killed it. They perform with such accuracy sound almost exactly like in a studio.   

I've noticed recently that there are two types of concerts. Ones that you actually go to and ones that you can live stream of the internet. I was at a restaurant on the Sunday of ACL weekend. And I pulled my phone up and started live streaming the Red Hot Chili Peppers while I was eating dinner. It was pretty cool, then I started to think about how it kind of ruins the experience of going to a live concert. The atmosphere at concert is so much more exiting and the music sounds way better live than on a computer or a phone. I rather be at a concert than watch it on a computer. 

I plan on seeing Neil Young and crazy horse on saturday night along with Red Hot Chili Peppers on sunday night. Im also exicted for the shines and Two door Cinema Club. Ive recently gotten into them and im glae they are coming this year. I hope that Mumford and Sons will come next year.

I just came back from day 1 of ACL, and lets just say it was amazing. I saw ben howard which reminded me alot of Paul McCartney. I saw weezer too and they where probably the best bad at friday. So Good.

I wish we could listen to more Bob Dylan. I'm not a really big county/folk person but he makes me like it a little bit. His lyrics are deep and his voice really brings out the realness of it. He reminds me a lot of Johnny Cash. Speaking of Johnny Cash, I think he is kind of important to Rock and roll. That would be cool if we got to learn and listen of how he influenced rock.

What I have noticed that I think is pretty cool about the Beatles albums and the Beatles movies. Is that the technology is getting better very fast. Color was coming into play with the Help movie while the Hard days night was not in color. The recording technology is also getting better and more techniques are being made up. The Beatles are making very early hip hop and they don't even know it.
