Music Monday!

When I was a Junior, every Monday (or almost every Monday), I would post a picture of what I was listening to on Instagram. That was my thing. IF you haven't noticed by now, I'm a music junkie. So now that I don't really care for Insta anymore, I will be doing Music Monday on my blog! I know, so exciting. I'm not really sure what I'm gonna talk about. The best thing, I think, would just be to start talking and see where that goes? I'm still open to suggestions...

Something I really love to do is just sit on the couch  for hours listening to music. I'll turn on Pandora, make my hot tea, and sit there. Luckily, I have a bluetooth JBL stereo in my living room. And it's not some cheap stereo you get in a little Radio Shack. It may be small, but it has HUGE sound. I love it and would recommend it to anyone looking for a stereo like this. 

JBL OnBeat Venue - MSRP: $199.95
 
When I was in school, I would listen to Alt. Rock and Alt. Metal, my favorite genres. There were some classes that we were allowed to listen to our iPods. I was the person in the back or side of the class that was gently headbanging in my seat. One time, the guy that I sat next to tapped me on the shoulder and asked if the music I listened to made me angry. I wanted to laugh, but he did have a point. The music should make me angry, but it doesn't. It makes me really happy. There's something about Alternative that really gets me pumped. Maybe it's the fast paced tempo, maybe it's the fact that male Alt. singers have the most amazing voices. Whatever it is, I feel as if I couldn't live without it. 

I grew up listening to alternative. My dad was big on Disturbed, Drowning Pool, and Godsmack. My mom liked Metallica, Linkin Park, and others. I got most of my love for 80's music from her. And from my dad, I got my love for loud music. In 2002, he got a really cool truck with an AMAZING sound system. We would jam all the time. Our favorite song to listen to was Indestructible by Disturbed. Great song. Great to listen to. If you have a good sound system and haven't heard that song turned up really loud, you haven't lived. You should try it sometime. That song is like my dad and I's theme song.

If you're interested in seeing what kind of music I'm listening to, which you probably aren't, follow me on Pandora or Spotify. I'm always adding songs to my playlists. Check out "A Little Bit of Sunshine." That's the playlist where I keep all of my favorite Alternative songs. 

Give me Music Monday topics please! I can review songs, videos, albums. You name it, I'll do it. We are on our way to being the greatest music blog EVER. Now if only I knew how to correctly do a music blog. 

Until next time...
God bless you and God bless america!
