In Class Listening - Led Zeppelin (I and II)

Hey Readers,

This week in class we listened to Led Zeppelin I and Led Zeppelin II.  Originally The Yardbirds, they became the New Yardbirds in 1968.  They then changed it again to Led Zeppelin in 1968.  I don't really have to talk much about them.  Their music is incredible and incredibly famous.  Here are my favorite Zepplin songs.

Stairway To Heaven

Whole Lotta Love

Black Dog

Babe I'm Gonna Leave You

When The Levee Breaks

Well that's Led Zeppelin.  They're very good musically, but not the best songwriters when it comes to lyrics.  But it's alright, they're still Led Zeppelin.  Well anyways, thanks for reading The Jack Barton Blog and have a nice day!

What I'm Listening To - Dan Henig

Hey Readers,

This week I have been listening to a fellow named Dan Henig.  He appears in a video from one of my favorite "Youtubers" Pat Stansik.  After I heard him sing, I fell in love with his voice.  This week is a little different because I usually post rap music.  But what Dan Henig does is sometimes sing rap songs but in the style of a singer/songwriter.  He has gained some fame with his new video of his accoustic cover of the song "Get Low" which has 1.7 million views as of now.  It's quite humorous and very interesting.  Let's take a look shall we?

Get Low (Cover)

Thrift Shop (Cover)

Tall Blonde Girl with Pat Stansik

Feeling Good A Capella

As Long As You Love Me/I Can't Make You Love Me

Diamonds Cover

So that's Dan Henig.  His music kind of speaks for himself.  I'm not posting his more serious stuff but it's very good.  He is very talented and probably going to become super popular very soon.  So hipster it out when he becomes popular.  As usual, links are below.  Thanks for reading The Jack Barton Blog and have a nice day!

In Class Listening - Abbey Road

Hey Readers,

This week in class we listened to Abbey Road by The Beatles.  It's probably my favorite Beatles album.  I grew up listening to Abbey Road.  Here are my favorite songs off the album.

Oh! Darling

Octopus's Garden

Something

You Never Give Me Your Money

I Want You (She's So Bad)

Come Together

Maxwell's Silver Hammer

Those are my favorite songs off of Abbey Road.  I hope you enjoyed them, I love those songs.  The other songs on the album are really good as well, but these are my personal favorites.  Thanks for reading The Jack Barton Blog and have a nice day!

What I'm Listening To - Mike Stud

Hey Readers,

This week I have been listening to a lot of Mike Stud.  Mike Stud is an incredibly talented rapper from Rhode Island.  Musicians today aren't always very smart or talented.  Of course, there are several exceptions, such as Mike Stud  He received a full athletic scholarship to Duke University for baseball and then attended Georgetown University for grad school.  During one of his years at Duke, he became injured and couldn't play baseball.  Instead, he turned his injury into an advantage.  He started rapping and look where it's gone.  Here are some of my favorite Mike Stud songs.

College Humor

In This Life

Glad you Came

Captain Hook

Tipsy

Lucky Rogers

Back Again

Youth

Bottle It Up

One More Night

Boyfriend

My Homie's Still

Still Fly

So Good

I really dig Mike Stud and I hope he gets more popular.  If he ever comes to Austin, you will know where to find me!  Thanks for reading The Jack Barton Blog and have a nice day!
