One of these days…

I dream of a day where online piracy is a thing of the past, the big studios don’t only invest in safe bets, original content has a higher presence online, and corporations have to be creative enough to effectively use the Internet to their benefit. But the SOPA thing is not going to make that happen. Oh well… one can dream.

I have to resist my urge to reblog everything from B Michael’s OWOB on Kanye West, but dude’s crushing it and yall need to get reading. This is high praise because I originally considered blogging about Kanye for OWOB and constructed a list not unlike this myself at one point. So, since it won’t fit in the reply box, my Best Kanye Songs:

1. Flashing Lights

2. All Falls Down

3. All Of The Lights

4. Love Lockdown

5. Slow Jamz

6. Through The Wire

Anyway, consider this also a warning/notice/threat that next week I will be taking over One Week One Band. I won’t be writing about Kanye West, but I will be writing about a famous rapper. So, yeah.

    Abbey Road (1969)

    Album: Abbey Road
    Artist: The Beatles
    Original Release Date: 9/26/1969
    Approx. Purchase Date: Summer-Fall 2009
    Format: CD
    Amount of Stars: N/A
    Length: 47 min, 17 tracks
    Favored Tracks: Something, Octopus’s Garden, I Want You (She’s So Heavy), The Abbey Road Medley.

    I need to start off this review by explaining the history of me and The Beatles. It wasn’t until very recently that I “got” The Beatles. I’d always held up The Who, Led Zeppelin, and the Rolling Stones as better groups, either to be different or because my dad’s available Beatles material is low. Of course throughout my life I knew The Beatles were automatically the greatest. But I didn’t really know. And I could make lists of my favorite The Beatles songs and afterwards say, “It’s really too bad that I had to leave off ‘Everybody’s Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey’ but I could only do 10.” Truthfully, I really didn’t have a favorite The Beatles song. I always just reordered the same list of songs everybody knows and likes and ones on The Beatles (The White Album) which was the only one my dad had on CD. I always knew about their music and heard a lot of their songs on things, but I never really studied them. Then they released those overpriced remastered CDs that I remember a lot of old heads complaining about. Even though they were kinda expensive, I had mad Borders coupons, and I was going through a period where I wanted to listen to stuff that was psychedelic, so I bought Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band and went from there into a full on The Beatles phase. Of all the ones I ended up purchasing, Abbey Road turned out to be my favorite. It was the third CD I ended up buying. I’d already studied the history of The Beatles extensively on the internet by this point, but I stayed away from this album partially because I didn’t want spoilers and partially because I thought I already knew enough about it considering the front half was stacked with songs I knew, but couldn’t tell you what album they were from. So I’ll split this review into two sections. One containing Come Together through Here Comes The Sun and the other containing my thoughts on the rest of the album, songs I hadn’t heard before.

    Camp (2011)

    or… F**K YOU BELANIE: The Album (an audio companion to Saturn Unleashed by Jeffery Eckman)

    Album: Camp
    Artist: Childish Gambino
    Original Release Date: 11/15/2011
    Approx Date of Purchase: 11/15/2011
    Format: CD
    Amount of Stars: Somewhere between 2.5 and 3.25
    Length: 56 min, 13 tracks
    Favored Tracks: “Outside”, “Backpackers”, “Sunrise”, “That Power”

    So here is my first review of an album on the internet. Disclaimer: I am biased towards my own personal tastes of music and I have poor grammar practices. I hardly care about this. And this is less a review of an album and more of “let me tell you a story about me and this album.” I will also do write ups on the packaging. Also, almost none of my reviews will be on recently released albums. Sorry. I will begin with the controversial topic of Childish Gambino.
