Pandora vs Spotify

Pandora has betrayed me! I remember sticking by it whenever people ask Pandora or Spotify. I liked the radio aspect that allowed you to find new songs and to be honest I didn't really want to learn how to use Spotify. BUT NOW YOU HAVE LIMITED HOURS OF RADIO ON PANDORA WTF AND YOU MUST PAY TO LISTEN TO MORE HOURS. Yeaaaah no. I have deleted it and have now learned the ways of Spotify. I decided to buy the premium and it has changed my life for the freaking better. It has the radio version which I love and now I can listen to whatever I want whenever, thanks to the playlists I've downloaded for when I'm not in a wifi area. I especially love the last part.

I know that you can buy Pandora premium for four dollars a month but all the benefits that come with Spotify make it worth the extra six dollars. With Pandora what I get with the premium is just unlimted skips and no ads. With Spotify what I get is unlimted music, no apps, radio and I can download my music so I can have it on the go! WORTH EVERY PENNY. (Well actually I'm still on the free 30 day trial things but i will most definitely upgrade it once it's up) 

Bioshock Infinite

So last weekend I went to my cousin's house and I played my new favorite game of ALLLLLL TIME. BIOSHOCK INFINITE. Holy shit this game had everything I could ever ask for. It's a first person shooter, it has cool weapons, amazing graphics, a great plot and SUPER AWESOME MUSIC. Like I could seriously not ask for anymore. Since that weekend, I have been listening to all of the Bioshock songs on repeat.

So to explain why there are covers of the song, I have to first explain part of the game. This game takes place in 1912. There is this girl named Elizabeth. She has this special power where she can create tears that let you go into alternate universes, the future or the past.

So yes this game takes place in 1912 but a lot the music you hear in the game is ahead of it's time. They're all covers, so you might not even notice at first because they sound so different but when you do it's amazing! The game music is super duper cool as well. It's gorgeous and fits whatever part you're at so perfectly. I don't know how to even begin to describe it if you haven't played the game.

I have so many more favorites, but it would take more then one blog post for it all.

 How do I even begin? This song is what sold me. From the moment I got strapped into that chair and started flying and the song started and I saw Columbia, I WAS IN LOVE.

                                    
 When I was exploring Columbia, I encounter Columbia's Gayest Quartet! It was beautiful. I stayed and watched their whole performance. I actually clapped. I have a soft spot in my heart for Barbershop Quartets (probs because of the Dapper Dans at Disney) and this was just icing on the cake.

I'll end this last post with my absolute favorite part of the game. It's right after I finished the battle in Shantytown. I was exploring around for some more loot when Long (my cousin) was like "You should go to that bar there, trust me." So I did and I heard a old time cover of Tainted Love on the phonograph. BUT THAT'S NOT THE COOL PART. I could pick up a guitar and Elizabeth would sing with me. The song seriously sent chills down my arm.

                                                            Such a cool little moment.

Music in Trailers

Have you ever watched a trailer and your immediate thought is "Fuck the trailer! This song rocks! Better shazam it right now before it's over." Well I think that all the time! Usually I hear songs in the trailers and it has nothing do with freaking thing and doesn't mesh well or the song is better than the actual trailer. But sometimes I stumble across those rare gems of awesomeness where the music and video mesh so perfectly together!

My favorite examples

This is my all time perfectly meshed music and trailer video ever! It's for a Run where you have to basically run 3 miles while trying to avoid the zombies and trying to make it out alive. It's super cool and I was totally going to sign up for it by my mom was like "92 dollars ann?????!!!! fuck off". But anyway, I love how totally epic the song makes the video. The slow motion parts along with the music is so great. And I always thought of the song Radioactive as a post apocalyptic zombie song!

How do I even begin to describe this?! Well for starters its for a video game called Saints Row and this is the third in the series. (DUH) The song makes the trailer! When it first pans past a billboard of Johnny Gat and the music played I was like in awe. It was so good that when I was in California for the Summer and I found this, I called my brother and made him watch it back in Texas. We have both watched it countless times! (It's my fault he's totally obsessed with the game)

Music that helps me do things around the house

I was not in any classes this week! (Well I was in one but only for about 30 minutes) So I have no idea what's going on this week. So I'll just blog about what I listened to this week!
This week my mom said she would be me thirty dollars to clean up my room and bathroom! My bathroom was no biggie but my room looked like someone ransacked it! I said yes of course. (30 dollars? Yes please) When I first started cleaning, I did nottttttttttttttttttt feel like doing anything! But then I put Pandora on and I was like awh yeeeh. This songs pumped me up! I was singing and cleaning and I didn't even notice that the entire room was almost clean until my mom came in and was like *GASP*.

So the songs that I was listening to were

                                                                    Monster by Skillet
"I MUST CONFESS THAT I FEEL LIKE A MONSTERRRRRRR." The song was super awesome to sing aloud to and made me have a mini jam out session!

Nightmare by a7x

Still my favorite Avenge Sevenfold song! I love that it starts off pretty and then BASBGHJSDHDFHDFHDJKFHJKSFHDJKFHDJKFJDHF. I pretty much screamed the entire song much to my parentals dismay. It's also super catchy! 

Bounce by System Of A Down

I have the entire System of a Down Toxicity album but this is my favorite song if I'm trying to do something like wake up, do my morning routine or clean. 

Date Rape by Sublime

Kinzy showed me this song a really long time ago but I still love it. The song is extremely catchy and easy to sing to! I love how he sings "If it wasn't for date rape, I'd never get laid."

N.W.A

This week we had one of the most interesting classes ever! I loved listening to N.W.A but once you started to put on other stuff, my mind drifted away. I like how explicit their lyrics are. It keeps it funny and interesting. It made me laugh and keep my full attention on them. Every one of their songs have the coolest beats. It makes me want to play in the car at full volume and pretend to be black.

In Gansta Gansta there was one line that made me think of Natalie's Rap on SNL/Lonely Island album. "We want to fuck you Eazy, I want to fuck you too!"

                                                     Life ain't nothing but bitches and money. 

Next was Dopeman, and you betcha I was listening! Right off the bat, I was like BREAKING BAD VIBEEESSSS. Also I love all the ways the dissed Strawberry! I laughed so hard I actually snorted. (am I pig or girl the world will never know) Now I will quote some of my favorite lines from Dopeman.

• "There's another girl in the Dopeman's life. Not quite a bitch but far from a wife. She's called The Strawberry and everybody knows. Strawberry! Strawberry! Is the next neighborhood hoe."
• "Give the bitch a rock and she'll fuck the whole crew"
• "But don't fuck around, she'll give you gonorrhea. If people ain't hip to the fact, Strawberry is a girl selling pussy for crack."
•  Yo, Mr. Dopeman, you think your slick Ya sold crack to my sister and now she’s sick But if she happens to die because of your drug I'm puttin’ in your culo, a .38 slug

Snow Patrol

I have found my new favorite song! It's called The Lighting Strike and it's perfect for every occasion! When I'm taking a test/doing homework, jogging, tanning or falling asleep. I was at Jack&The Beanstalk and a trailer for Vikings came up and I was like whooa this is a really good song! So I shazamed and boom! ~Magic~ Since then I have heard this song everywhere I went. Malls, trailers and my brother was listening to it. (I think it's a sign) But anywhoo, I like this song because the instruments are so calming and his voice is beautiful! Perfect song for everything! I'm seriously obsessed with this song and I don't think the obsession is going anywhere soon.

 

also this music video totally rocks 

Skyrim Bards

Another Skyrim post Ann wtf??? Yes I know! But anyways today I'm blogging about mlisteni actual words! So first off, bards are singers that you encounter in Inns and you can request for them to sing songs. Not all bards are the same though. Some suck so bad my ears bleed but some are so good I will take time out of my quests to hear them sing a song or two!  Their songs are like fun ways for you to learn about the history of Skyrim.

Songs will also change depending on if you're an Imperial or a Stormcloack so you will either get 'The Age of Agression' or 'The Age of Opression'. Theres not that big of a difference but I still like The Age Of Agression just for the line " Down with Ulfric! The killer of kings! On the day of your death we will drink and we'll sing!" (Although I might be baised because I'm an Imperial and it was the first song I've evee heard in the game)

Another favorite is 'Dragonborn Comes' but only when Lisena sings it! I've tried listening to other bards sing it and I'm just like noooooooo. There's this one Orc I met that claimed to be a 'bard' and when he tried singing I just left as fast as I could. Im actually buying the Hearthfire DLC so I can have my own personal bard in the house!

To be totally honest, I have forgotten what we listened to this week so Im just going to blog about Camp Rock. (What is my life comming to?) So I was on Netflix and I was like Camp Rock 1 and 2?! Heck yes! I watched them both and I was instantly taken back to 6 grade when I thought this was the bomb diggity. I actually liked some of the songs! I like 'Gotta Find You and This Is Me from the first Camp Rock and Introducing Me from the second. (Totally fell in love with Nick Jonas when he sang Introducing Me in 7th grade lol) 

Tots know all the words
