DATABOY - Misinformation

Song: Misinformation
Artist: DATABOY



These guys are a local band from Austin. I'm still trying to figure out how I feel about them.

I mostly definitely do NOT like them live. The guy was wearing those super tight pants and the shiny gold thing and I was just like WTFFFFFF the whole time. I liked the music, the singing was terrible.

Recorded, I like the music, not so much the singing. They can do without the video.. That girl was pretty hot though? The catchy chorus got them somewhere, yay. Make your judgemennnnt.

YouTube Music Star ? David Choi

Song: That Girl
Artist: David Choi

“The ones we love tend to stay in our hearts and minds long after the relationship ends. While some move on quickly, others dwell and heal at a slower pace. Whatever the case, the thoughts, emotions and memories we experience during this time are heartwrenchingly powerful and real.”

Close Your Eyes and Listen

Born in 1986, his name is Yu Chun Lin and he’s very talented. Lin is singing Whitney Houston’s, “I will always love you.” I wonder if he’s retained his voice while growing older and hitting puberty.

And here’s the original version of “I will always love you” by the original Whitney Houston.
Check out the similarity and how amazing they both sound! If you close your eyes and listen, you can hardly tell the difference. ;)

Snow Patrol - The Lightning Strike // How to Be Dead

Song: The Lightning Strike
Artist: Snow Patrol
Album:  A Hundred Million Suns (2008)



This song is 16+ mins long. It has 3 parts:

/01 What If This Storm Ends?
/02 The Sunlight Through The Flags
/03 Daybreak

This song was written during a power outage following a thunderstorm. That is what I recall lead singer Gary Lightbody saying during a concert.

Story time! Snow Patrol is from Ireland, with some members from Scotland. Europeans <3. The lead singer is gay :(. That is besides the point. This band formed in 1994, joining an Jeepster, a Scottish indie record label. They were orginally named Shrug, then Polar Bear, then Snow Patrol. During that time, they were always in debt, etc. Jeepster dropped Snow Patrol, and they continued to struggle for money. A lot. After being signed with Fiction, Snow Patrol released their album Final Straw in 2004. They've gained popularity since then, and now they're pretty big. This band has struggled through a lot and come a long way. (I'm so cheeeesy).

To celebrate, here's another song!

Song: How to Be Dead
Artist: Snow Patrol
Album: Final Straw (2004)



I love this band :)

Flyleaf - So I Thought

Song: So I Thought
Artist: Flyleaf
Album: Flyleaf (2007)



This is one of the few songs from this album that doesn't involve screaming, if screamo isn't your thing. Flyleaf is a rock band from Texas. It's made up of five members. There are only a few "good" bands with a girl that screams, and this is one of them. She's awesome :) All five members of the band are Christian, so some of the songs have some religious content.

I shall continue to be absent due to final exams. See you after I'm done!

YouTube Music Star ? Paul Dateh

Paul Dateh is an uprising YouTube star who deserves some recognition for his hard work! He’s got a great sense of music and rhythm and performs great mash-ups and covers. According to his website, Dateh was supposed to only become a violinist! But I guess some dreams are meant to change because he changed his direction by taking a jazz program and it turned out to be a great path. He did not want to become just a classical musician; He wanted to become a great musician in every way.

Here’s his latest mash-up! It’s pretty good.



Songs: Telephone , Blah Blah Blah , Rude Boy , & OMG
Artist: Paul Dateh

You can download his mp3’s for free! YAY! Click here for them.



Check out the music video for his song, “Good Life.”

Muse - Time is Running Out

Song: Time is Running Out
Artist: Muse
Album: Absolution (2003)



This is one of my all time favorites from back in the day. Muse is an English band formed in 1994 and released their first album in 1999. They have released five studio albums and some other things. Their last three albums before The Resistance have some of my favorite songs evaaaar! Lead singer Matthew Bellamy has a very distinct voice and singing style that you can recognize even if you don’t know the song. Overall, they’re a group of crazy guys who aren’t afraid to show it.
