Day 19

Last night I believe was the best night. I saw zedd, for those who don't know zedd is a very Dj and absolutely put on an amazing show. My friends told me he put on a good show but I didn't expect it to be that amazing. I just felt such amazing energy from all the people nobody was negative and as much as I was tired and my feet hurt the second he came on I forgot and let loose. It was amazing.

 

Day 18

So let me start by saying last night was insane I LOVE Firefly music festival! I may not enjoy camping but i do love listening to the Kooks while surrounded by kook lovers! Last night was such a special experience I loved every minute of it! Even though today I had to walk 1.5 miles to a nearby McDonalds to find free wifi! Its well worth the exercise! I must admit these next few days will be moments I will never forget. Listening to some of your favorite artists live is just such a whole different experience.

Day 17

Today I leave for the greatest weekend of my life!! In just 10 minutes I leave for my 4 day music festival that i have been waiting for for about 3 months now! Ive never wanted to go to something so badly and I guess this festival was also one of the main driving forces for my blog topic! Im going to see all sorts of bands from Snoop Dogg all the way to Hozier! the only downfall is some of my favorite artists are on at the same set times but Im sure my friends and I will find a way around that minor issue! Well, with only a few posts left I'm off!! 

Day 16

Guest Post: 

Hi everybody my name is Taylor Anselmo and I'm Madison's 21 year old sister and in just 4 hours I will be leaving to Las Vegas to attend what is going to be the best festival in my life. Many ravers dream of the day they can go to 3 main festivals one of those 3 is EDCLV which is what I'm attending the other two are TomorrowLand as well as burning man! To many people whom don't like raving they find our music nonsense, loud, sounds! But to someone who listens you hear so much more! One common thing that many kids make fun of is PLUR. This acronym stands for Peace Love Unity Respect. Theres also and handshake in which you must do if you want to give someone your jewelry that you make yourself before most events, the jewelry is called Candy. Im not entirely sure why its called that but, yes, and to most it does sound strange but to the rave "community", it is so much more. Its a way of escape from the craziness that we call the outside world! A place where only people like us exist and that not one person is there to judge! To me raving is so much more than what people see it as. So many see it as an excuse for kids to get messed up on drugs and dance ridiculously but that is the bad side to raving. Thats what gives us ravers a bad reputation but once yo take away the drugs and ridiculous side of it what you have left is pure happiness. That is what raving is really about. 

Day 15

Tomorrow is my guest post and for my guest post i chose my sister! The main reason I chose my sister is just like I am this weekend she is flying to the west coast and going to EDC Las Vegas! Anybody that listens to EDM Electronic Dubstep or trap knows what and how big EDC LV is! My sister is also an aspiring DJ she has spun at clubs on long island. With the help she receives from the talented artists she meets at the clubs and raves she goes to it was super easy to get into the business and booking gigs! I'm very excited for her to tell you all about her love of EDM

Day 14

yesterday was my birthday and being that I was out with my mother all day and I'm back to working at good ole bath and body works today I thought some throwbacks would be a great mood for the day! Some common names that I tend to put on are Jesse McCartney, Jojo, a little bit of old nelly and even shaggy! Sometimes its really good to just put on some of the most classic songs that you used to listen to as you grew older! It really is so weird how your music taste changes as you grow up!

Day 13

As my music festival becomes closer and closer I tend to listen to more indie. Im slowly becoming one the biggest Paul McCartney fan. I don't know many of his songs but I do like his tone. Paul McCartney will be preforming at the festival I'm Attending and I sure hope I can learn a few more songs by the time I hear him playing live!

Day 12

Well tonight is when i finally see all of my old friends, its been so long since i have seen some. Some i haven't seen since graduation and it feels great to be reuniting and in honor of it being my birthday celebration night we are listening to a bunch of throwbacks. Some good ole Shaggy It wasn't me, some Miley Cyrus, pre-crazy era, and even some NSYNC will be playing! you know the good stuff! Well hope it goes as great as it seems! 

Day 11

With my birthday this weekend I guess you could say I am a bit happier. Im finding myself listening to more rap as I get ready to go out and have a good time with my friends! I most certainly can say that I missed some of my friends and they most definitely can help get my mind off of things! 

Day 10

The more that occurs within my situation the more positive I must become, I went back to work today and just felt a bit of fresh air to just kind of clear my mind. I found that by not sitting and moping along with focusing on the positives i was able to listen to more of my regular music! I also found out a girl I work with is going to the same music festival as I am it made our conversations after that come more naturally because we realized we had a bit more in common rather than only working in the same place!

Day 9

Lately a lot has happened within my family and with sadness I guess you can say I was drawn to a slower genre of music. Some country some just relax or spa radio. It tends to relax me more. Most people tend to adjust their listenings to what is going on in their life. When you get a new job you most likely will be happier thus making your music selection of the happier sort. If a death unfortunately happens you may not want to listen to Happy by Pharell Williams.

Day 8

Today was a more hectic day so at the end to help me relax I listened to some country and some indie! I feel that I do listen to these genres in the summertime mostly because they're just very calming! I do also tend to listen to more reggae to just chill out to! I love reggae especially when I'm going to the beach it's just all about relaxation and good vibes and I feel after a long stressful year of schooling that's all that is important!

Day 7

Today was a lay low day and kinda missed the south a bit! So I jammed out to some country, yes my friends listen to country but it's just different in the north as anybody could assume! That's why I enjoy going away to school! In the beginning it was a major culture shock but now it's the best of both worlds! I get the comfort of the northern weather over winter break and warm weather in February in the south! And on top of all that I have met such amazing people. How this relates to music is simple you connect with all types of people when you listen to music and I have connected with people whom have opened my eyes to country music!

Day 5

         Just like yesterday today I feel is a reggae and indie mood! I am on my way to hangout with a few friends for a barbecue finally have a real day off and I just want to hangout with everybody and relax. My favorite band to listen to today I would have to say is the Dirty Heads they really sing about happiness and most of their songs just have a light feel to them! In fact, in 12 days as of today I'm seeing them live at a 4 day music festival in Delaware known as Firefly! 

Day 4

Today's pick would be some indie, cage the elephant came on my iTunes and it was perfect! Today was a laid back day I chilled out and just jammed to my music! Nothing to special it was a stressful work week so I didn't want to do anything other then listen to my music. I never thought a certain genre could fit a persons mood so well!

Day 3

Today was a slow day at work so at the end of it I just wanted to lay in bed and relax. I put on some country music and chilled out! I never really was the type to listen to country music but as I spent more and more time in the south for school i became more of a fan and now i think i could call my self an avid listener! 

Day 2: How

How my blog will work...Just like any other blog I will talk about my topic day in and day out but to make my stand out from all of the others I have decided to add something to it! I decided that how I will continue this blog is to put my iTunes on shuffle and the first song that comes on is what will be the topic of the day! Why do this you may wonder. Im doing it this way because for one part it will make writing a bit easier but most importantly it will open my readers eyes to different types of music. The biggest thing that I have found with my iTunes or iPod is that when I'm driving around the corner or back to North Carolina for school I never seem to listen to same music for a prolonged period of time! I am the type of person who can go from Blake Shelton to Steve Aoki and right after that listen to Vanessa Carlton. In a matter of 10 minutes I just listened to 3 different genres of music and just enjoyed myself. Variety within music is so important because if you were to listen to same type of music everyday for the rest of your life would you even bother still listening...

Day 1: Why?

  Why did I choose to Blog about music...            Music to me is one of the most spoken about topics. I can relate to so many different people due to the fact I listen to just about every type of music genre out there. I have such a wide horizon of music interest that its easy to talk about it with anybody. but the main reason for choosing such a broad topic is because its not difficult to relate to different types of people, along with it really helps me express how I feel. I tend to listen to different genres depending on my mood. For example, if I'm going out with my friends we tend to listen to alot of pop or rap music, or if I'm preparing for a game I tend to listen to more electronic remixes or even rock! Music can relate to so many different subjects in life and I just felt that writing about it would be perfect for my blog!
