well in this blog we are just going to do reviews on albums i guess...

yip/jump music by Daniel Johnston: daniel johnstons first 6 albums were done live on a tape recorder, this was one of these albums. he originally lived in west virgina, and was sent to live in texas with his brother. his brothers house didn't have a piano, like his parents house did so he found a way to make an album. this whole album was done on a chord organ, a cheep reed wind keyboard instrument that was more of a toy than a real instrument, it was bought at a dollar store of some sort if the story was correct. The man focus of his music are his lyrics and this album has some of my favorites. "Everything is big in Texas, you know it is, I guess I made a big mistake" are the opening lyrics of the album. Some of my favorite songs are "museum of love", "speeding motorcycle", "don't let the sun go down on your greviences" and "i Remeber painfully" which has some of the best lyrics, and tells an amazing story. Major song themes are lost love, comic book characters (casper the friendly ghost, and captain america are the main two) and just his life experiences. If I must i would compare him to a rougher underground Bob Dylan.

Matt- Stadium Arcadium. One of my favortie albulms by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. This was a two disk album containing twenty-eight tracks, fourteen on each. This cd contains many hits like, Dani California, Snow (hey oh), and she's only 18. They were able to maintain their Funky bass lines and alternative rock guitar in this CD while simotaniusly creating a new more laid back sound. They were also able to be more creative with this CD. They got so creative that they were able to use everything that they had into a much larger CD than they probably would have thought that it would have been.

Robert- Translanticism, an album by Death Cab for Cutie, would have to be my all-time favorite album by them. I really appreciate the experimentation and the seeming sarcasm/irony behind sad lyrics within a happier sounding, major-key. Death Cab does this very well and sensibly on this album. I appreciate the overall laid-back feel to some of the songs on Translanticism.
