The Second Best

So I've realized that my posts generally come in one of two styles. Flavors if you will. They include Becky (of which I only know the flavor thankyouverymuch) and music (which you can't ever taste but sometimes rattles your teeth when you play it too loud). I've noticed it kind of alternates too haha. Well, this one is about music. I've been employed by my parents to be the odd jobs guy around the house and do whatever they want for 10 an hour for 8 hours a day. I am so grateful because it's making me so I can live and buy food when I'm married. It is also giving me time to listen to lots of music. I've learned some things about my music. One of the most prominent lessons I can think of is this: 20 minutes of Coldplay? Good. Two hours of Coldplay? Most boring thing EVER. Except for the 6.8 hours of Dave Matthews I'm currently going through right now. Sigh.

Anyway.

Music. On to some of my points. First off, The Beatles Rock Band is coming out! That's right an entire Rock Band dedicated to Beatles songs. And I actually have mixed feelings about it. I mean, it's awesome that they're getting respect. They are an amazing band. But at the same time...I can't thikn of many of their songs being Rock Band friendly. Of course While My Guitar Gently Weeps would be amazing (for the guitarist) but I'm just thinking about it. And then there's the second issue: the drums. Whoever has the drum parts has the most boring job on the planet. Unless they make the drum parts harder on Rock Band than they were for Ringo in real life. If Ringo can do it, anyone can do it. Don't believe me? Let's go to the source:
Reporter: Is Ringo the best drummer in the world?
John Lennon: Ringo isn't even the best drummer in The Beatles!
Enough said. Listen to You've Got To Hide Your Love Away haha. They'll love that one.

Moving on.

Also listening I've come up with little categories in my head: wow this song has awesome drums, these guys have the best guitars, etc. And I decided to share that with you. Because, as we all know, I am the complete authority on any (good) music. It's like my own awards dealy. For the music that is only on my ipod. Sweet. Well here goes.

Best guitars: If you ask me which band has the best guitars, you'll quite possibly get the answer of "why it's Coheed and Cambria of course." Amazing. Claudio Sanchez, the singer, also gets the award of best hair. Look at those curls!

Best bass: You have to ask? Honestly? Fine. Here.

Best vocals: I actually don't know this one. It changes which I like almost daily. But Brandon Boyd from Incubus is absolutely amazing. I can't find a video where he really shines but you can check out their new single I guess. And that song that they did for Stealth. But I'd recommend picking up an album. Morning View is a great place to start.

Best lyrics: Bright Eyes. Hands down. Next.

Best piano: Well I say Ben Folds. But Muse has great stuff too (piano solo in the middle of the song).

Best drums: The obvious choice is Rush but I think they're a bit overrated. So I'm going to surprise everyone and say Yellowcard. Seriously that drummer is amazing. I've seen them twice live and he's done drum solos and even his normal playing is mindblowing. That is a friggin huge drumset he uses. Plus the dude is black and huge and could probably kill me. That wins points.

The worst literary interpretations of all time award goes to Taylor Swift. She says Romeo and Juliet was the greatest love story of all time and calls herself a scarlet letter, which is adultery. Thanks try again.

Wow that was a lot dumber than I thought it would be haha but I just put a lot of work into it so it's staying and getting put up. Too bad for you haha. Hope you're having a great day!
