Musical Chairs

These past few days have involved a lot of music, which I totally love. I've been listening to albums I haven't listened to all the way through before. I really like Back in Black, I understand why it's so critically acclaimed. I liked The All-American Rejects debut album, although I enjoyed Move Along a bit more. Everclear's So Much for the Afterglow was the perfect mix of pop and rock. B.o.B. Presents: The Adventures of Bobby Ray is one of the greatest albums I have heard in a while. It combines rap and pop rather nicely, and B.o.B is a phenomenal lyricist. I love his music as much Drake's. Almost. ;) I really do enjoy all of amazon.com's $5 deals.

On Friday, I went to see Hinder on post. I was only familiar with two of their songs, but their set was nice. I love that they covered "Hey Man, Nice Shot" by Filter and I actually recognized it. '90s music is the best. My mom isn't used to that kind of music, so watching her try to make the rock on sign and whatnot was quite hilarious. I was a little surprised by the elements of screamo I heard, because their earlier songs are more radio friendly, but I suppose they went in another direction with their sophomore album. We checked out the merchandise and then left. They stayed and signed autographs for a bit though.

Today I went to see Ludacris. I'm not a huge fan, but it's pretty cool to meet anyone that's famous in my opinion. There were so many people there, and I saw plenty of familiar faces. It took three and half hours just to get inside the PX! Plus I was freezing because I had a skirt on. I'm glad I got to see him though. We took a picture with him and apparently all of the pictures taken will be uploaded to Facebook, so I'll have to look for mine sometime tomorrow. He also signed autographs. A local group called Dirty Red performed outside. I had never heard of them before.

It was really nice of people to organize those events for the soldiers who just returned home. =)
