CHRISTMAS TIME IS HERE

Well it's true!

As you may have (but probably haven't) already found out, my fellow friends and I have started an organization called the 27 acts of honor, and Ariel, Lilah and I have written a song about the tragedy. It's actually going very well so far! I am playing the grand piano though, and seeing that I am a drummer, not a pianist, I have some brushing up on skills to do.

THANK YOU ALL AND HAVE A WONDERFUL WINTER BREAK!

Howlin' For You

I'm really in love with dynamic songs at the moment. To summarize, songs that are not Call Me Maybe. So I made a playlist of a bunch of songs that I felt were worthy enough for the title "dynamic". The first one here is called Howlin' For You by The Black Keys. I am playing this song in a band at the moment. I really love the base line--listen closely, you'll hear it. It kind of reminded me of Seven Nation Army by The White Stripes, another duo, but it is, of course, quite different. Here is is (with lyrics):

The next one is Secrets by OneRepublic. This song was actually very popular for a while last year. What I adore about this song is, obviously, the violins. There are some songs that you listen to and have a tune that is just so memorable. I always wonder how they came up with this genius violin part!

And last but not least, Abraham's Daughter by Arcade Fire. This song was made for the Hunger Games movie, but it really seems like so much more than that. I am so loyal to songs made for a movie soundtrack that don't sound like they were written specially for anything.
