What I was listening to last class
One of my favorite parts about going to class is listening to music on the way there. I do enjoy most of my classes, specifically the ones related to my Classical Archaeology major. I'm applied to go to a field school in an ancient city called Gabii, which was a neighbor of Rome while both were budding city-states. So, to get back on topic, I was listening to a mix of music made for me and by me. It opens with a Ziggy Marley song called "Into the Groove." As I'm sure you can tell by it's name, it is a great album starter for basically any album. Ziggy Marley is in fact the eldest son of Bob Marley, in case you few followers were wondering. At this particular time, I was very hooked on ska and reggae music. Also appearing on the mix are Bob himself, a ska band Reel Big Fish, and Sublime. Other bands includeThe Avett Brothers, Led Zeppelin, Daft Punk, and The Grateful Dead. I enjoy this mix, it reminds me of my senoir year in high school, when as bad as things were, things still kind of made sense. Above that, it has some very awesome songs on it. I am still a coneseur of the CD, so I have to be picky with my music (unless burning) and what I buy, CD's are more expensive.

i saw stephen marley last year at bonnaroo...it was dope, to say the least.
ReplyDeletei like sublime too, and the grateful dead. i always make myself mixes.
you should listen to some old blues - leadbelly, and robert johnson. it's not reggae/ska, but they are such legends. they've been on my playlist lately.
also: the avett brothers! i mayyyy have seen them like ten times...i'm such a dork.
