Thanksgiving and political correctness confusion.

So, happy Thanksgiving! Well, at least to our American readers. But besides that, I thought of something today. If we say 'happy holidays', then how come, if you go into a store around now (excluding a Jewish store) you'll never hear 'Dreidel, dreidel'. Why?

Will.I.Am ft. Jennifer Lopez & Mick Jagger (of the Rolling Stones) - T.H.E. [The Hardest Ever]

Where to start with this musical mess? With the Black Eyed Peas soon to be on an indefinite hiatus (there is a God!), front man and producer of the group, Will.I.Am is working on his next solo album, #Willpower. Now, before I rip this song apart, let's remember the good songs Will.I.Am has been a part of...here I made a playlist for you.

Playlist

That's not even including the pre-Fergie Black Eyed Pease (which were very good) and not including how phenomenal his production used to be (He produced for Michael Jackson, Eazy-E, Britney Spears, U2, Rihanna, Usher, Justin Timberlake, Earth, Wind & Fire, Nicki Minaj, Cheryl Cole, 2NE1, Daddy Yankee, and Juanes).

Back to "T.H.E." - Okay, So the beat is electro/dance. I can get past that. Will's rapping again?! Ya----...um...yay? That was my reaction. I personally can not stand Jennifer Lopez in any way/shape/form, and that carries through on this song. Finally Mick Jagger came in to redeem the song...and I'll straight up say, he should never 'half-rap' himself...the lyrics to his part sound like Lil Wayne rejects...

Well that's my thoughts, here's the song if you want to hear it for yourself.

What I Listen To Other Than Rap

So I got an email today, and it was from someone finding my youtube account, and they asked me how I get inspiration for many of my songs. Here's the hint, I don't listen to rap when I want an idea for a rap song. Sounds crazy right? Nah, your favorite artists probably do the same thing. Rockers may be blasting hip-hop and soul, rappers listening to folk and country, ect.

Surprisingly Rap/Hip-Hop is barely half of my music library. Other stuff I listen to...
-Alt. Rock
-Hard Rock
-Metal
-Metalcore
-Folk
-Pop (not radio pop for the most part)
-R&B
-Soul
-Reggae
-Nu-Metal

My favorite non-rap artists would have to include Michael Jackson, Avenged Sevenfold, Ozzy Osbourne/Black Sabbath, Lily Allen, Ingrid Michaelson, Avril Lavigne, Paramore, Frank Ocean, Blink-182, Bob Marley, Damian Marley, Broadway, Foster The People, Arcade Fire, and Jukebox The Ghost.

That's just a few. For some of the songs I listen to a bunch, I made a youtube playlist for you guys to check out. May try doing this every once in a while to let you guys know what I'm listening to.

RT Comics

I just bought the first edition of RT comics on iBooks for $10. I'll edit this post in a minute to say if it was worth it.

EDIT: well... It's been a few hours, and I'm still not done reading all the comics. There's also commentary for each comic. The only complaint I have, is that you have to double tap the screen each time u want to read anything, cuz the text is too small otherwise.

Blogger app

So blogger I guess just released an app, because I remember looking for one a while back and couldn't find one. Well I'm using it now, so it does work, but there a few things I don't like about it. First off it doesn't switch to landscape view, so you can't type with the longer keyboard. Secondly you can't find in without Wi-Fi, which can get really annoying, especially if something cool just happened and I want to make a post about it. Other than that, I don't see any problems with it.

EDIT: One more problem with it that I just found, is that you can't add or change any of the tabs, which sucks, because that means I actually have to turn on my computer to do that.
