Pumped For School- Can't wait!

Okay, so... School doesn't start up here again until September 7th, and I can't wait to get back!

If you read some of my older posts (the few I made) of last year's school year, then you will understand why. It may seem weird for anyone going to a north american public school to be excited to go back, and often times it would be, mine is completely different!

The teachers aren't just teachers, they are friends. That is one of my favorite things about it all; they don't treat us like inferior beings like most teachers do just because that is the "traditional" teacher-student relationship, they treat us like equals because we are.

I also can't wait to see all of my friends again!

Back to the teachers for a minute... My English teacher from last year who all of my "old" readers will know about, told me (to my delight) that I "better be" in her class this year, which she said right when she found out I wouldn't be able to be in advanced english which she teaches (which disappointed BOTH of us) because due to transportation issues I would not be able to get there half an hour early everyday. When she said I better be in her class, she also said that "we can make it happen".

In other words, sometime before school starts I need to talk to the guidance councilor or someone about changing things around so it happens (if I didn't already get in it by chance).  There is supposed to be a call a week or two before school about "course changes" and things that would indicate when I should go to do that, but there hasn't been anything yet, so I am a little confused, but will figure it out soon!

Completely Unrelated

I found a really interesting song which makes the obvious point that there are only so many combinations of chords that musicians can use, and one seems to be REALLY common! Some songs aren't as different as we thought... They linked together 36 songs that all use the same chords. It is REALLY cool to hear so take a listen!

Random Thoughts- One My Favorites- Take A Listen

This is another bit of a random thought's post.

Marianas Trench

It is very rare to find REAL music being made these days, especially with REAL raw talent, meaning NO computerized foolishness. Marianas Trench is famous band from Vancouver, Canada, and they are one of the few that actually make REAL music with REAL, raw talent. In fact, they are extraordinary and refreshing.

Along with Hedley, Marianas Trench is one of my favorite "modern day" bands. I got to see Hedley live, and almost saw Marianas Trench live, BUT I never even though I had my ticket because I was feeling really sick, granted I decided to go anyway, but I almost passed out in the line up to get in, and I was having trouble standing up... I couldn't take the heat of the crowd because I was sick I guess, so I had to go home before it started and missed it! Of all days to be really ill...

ANYWAY
They combine rock music with absolutely amazing vocals, and beautiful, tight harmonies. That is probably one of the most unique things about the band- every member is an awesome singer, but lead singer, Josh Ramsay one of the best vocalists ever. Trust me, that is no exaggeration, his vocal ability is phenominal and he could even be compared to FREDDY MERCURY!

Below are two performances that showcase their beautiful vocals.

The first is an acapella rendition of Billy Joel's "And So it Goes"



The second is an amazing, jaw dropping, acoustic performance of their song "Beside You". This shocases Joshs's wide range & vocal ability.





They are one of my favorites... What do you think? =)

P.S if there is anything anyone would like me to post about, or any suggestions or anything you have/would like to see in my posts, do not hesitate to let me know by commenting on a post or telling me in the c-box!

CHECK THIS OUT!!!

Ben Folds is a GENIUS!


Ben Folds is one of my favorite musicians, singer/songwriters in modern music! That says a lot because I have high standards...
I love his latest album "Lonely Avenue" for which UK author Nick Hornby wrote all the lyrics and he wrote the music. That isn't even the genius part!

Ben folds recorded 7 different live audiences singing different parts of his song "Working Day" from that album.

The arrangement was later weaved together to create the 14,000 voice acapella choir!!!
IT IS AMAZING!


here is the original song followed by the acapella version

The Audience Acapella Version



Does anyone else think this is absolutely amazing?

An Amazing Talent, Amazing Artist & a Wonderful Lad: Tom Andrews

Probably all of the people who read my blog are readers of amars world which means you all know of Greyson Chance, that wonderfully refreshing, talented lad signed to Ellen Degeneres's label...
Now there is another! He was discovered via youtube, just like greyson and is still active on his account. Tom Andrews is a 17 year old brittish lad who was signed to Ellen's label in 2010 at age 16 and made his first appearance on the show that same year! He recently released his first single. "Carry Me On".

His voice is amazing and he is both an incredible singer as well as a true artist. Not only that, but he is also a great person. One of the kindest, most REAL people there are in the industry. It is hard enough to find REAL people  who are REAL artists, making REAL music with REAL talent in todays music industry... Never mind one that is 17 YEARS OLD!!!! Seeing someone my age do that is just awesome!

Anyway as I said he is the nicest person one could imagine, and really down to earth. He takes the time to respond to people on twitter, including myself, not only that but he also responded to one of my comments on his videos, posted a comment on my channel on youtube AND SUBSCRIBED TO ME! I still can't get over that! haha! His youtube account is tomandrewsmusic. His vlogging channel is tomandrewsmusic2.


Below is Tom's first appearance on The Ellen Show Septtember of 2010


Here he is in may, debuting his single on Ellen!


Here is the studio verision of his single (:


There you have it! My new favorite person in the music industry! What do you think of him??? LEAVE YOUR THOUGHTS IN THE COMMENTS! (:
