Bob Marley is by far one of the world's greatest musicians. I would trade a lot of things to see that man in concert. His positive attitude really plays a big influence in mine and others everyday lives. His music is fun to jam out to or play along with on guitar. Even though he smoked a lot of pot, he made a HUGE impact on the world(especially in Jamaica). He is the most widely known reggae musician to ever exist. His music is just wonderful to listen to when you get up in the morning.
John Mayer is a spectacular singer/song-writer. He sings blues rock and acoustic rock. One of my favorite songs by him is "slow dancing in a burning room". My favorite thing about his music is no matter what type of mood you are in his music can totally relate to it. I like his voice because it is soothing. He is also one of my favorite guitarists. His songs are all slow paced but I think he does a good job of showing his amazing guitar skills. He recently released a new album that I have yet to listen to, but I think I might buy it tomorrow.
WZRD is rapper, Kid Cudi's side project. It is WAY different than his rap music because it has guitar and it's more of trippy/indie music. The second I heard one of his new songs, I instantly bought his new self-titled album, "WZRD". My favorite song off of the album is Teleport 2 Me. It's super catchy and unlike any song I've heard. I love indie music because it differs so much from the repetitive songs that come on the radio. Whether or not Kid Cudi is rapping or singing in WZRD, I love all of his music.
He is an Israeli dubstep artist, his real name is Asaf Borgor yet is known professionally by Borgore. I like him because of his creativity and his awesomeness. He is really dirty mouthed. He likes to cuss a lot and talk bad about women. Most people would not like him. I, however; think he's hilarious. He was also a drummer for a hardcore band a while back. He is truly a talented musician. If you don't like cussing, talking down to women(not that I do), or talking about getting wasted in every country possible, don't listen to Borgore.
I wanted to right a blog specifically on this music video because I think Avi did such a wonderful job with it. In a way it reminds me of the movie Avatar... except without the blue people. I think the music video matches the super indie music perfectly. I like the drumsticks that the girl is using. They look like sticks tied together or something. Just by watching this music video, you can tell how much of a hippie this dude is. I also love Avi's guitar. I feel like whoever came up with the ideas for this video was on drugs and just had a really weird trip and made it into a music video. My main point is whatever way they thought of making this video, it turned out amazing.
Portugal. The Man is a band from Portland, Oregon. I love their music. They're a super Indie band. My favorite song by them is People Say. Most of their songs are upbeat and happy. Just the right amount of emotion in the music. Sometimes music can be depressing or too happy and whiney or something. They do a great job of controlling that.
Wavves is a surf/punk band in from San Diego, California. Their music is extremely catchy and is real. What I mean by "real" is that it isn't the same guitar chords or drum patterns as normal radio music. I've been really sick of radio music for the past few years, so I really enjoy listening to Wavves. Whenever listening to them I think of the beach. All of their music video's are super awesome too. He likes aliens a lot and so do I.
