guitar practice + new music
Apr. 27th, 2016 09:40 am Yesterday I practice my guitar off and on for most of the day. It felt good to just practice for a while because I haven't been practicing like I should. At this point I've learned how to play most of the songs off Interpol's "Turn on the Bright Lights." I think the fact that it's one of my favorite post-punk albums really helps. I also bought a capo not too long ago so I could learn a few songs by The Smiths, and not have to tune my guitar up an octave. Already knowing how to play bass guitar really helps when learning guitar as far as figuring out finger shapes, and chord structures to songs. Anyway I don't want to bore you all with music theory stuff.
I finally listened to Beyonce's "Lemonade" album, and I think it's alright. I've come to expect certain types of themes in her music so she didn't surprise me on that front. I think she has a lot of issues she needs to sort out. Musically I think it sounded good. I've always had an issue with the fact that for someone so revered she has a ton of songwriting credits. I think the credit for the music should go to those people not her. I've also heard she steals a lot of ideas from other artists. That's something that I don't like at all. But that aside I thought the album was an improvement from her last self titled album.
On another note I listen to the 2 new songs by Lacuna Coil: "The House of Shame", and "Delirium", and they fucking blew me away! I haven't heard anything this good from them since Comalies. I feel like this is the band I feel in love with many years ago. Cristina Scabbia's vocals on the chorus of both songs are fantastic. Andrea's screaming has also improved a lot. The music kind of reminds me of a cross between Epica, and Fear Factory which is pretty great. Anyway here is the lyric video for "The House of Shame", and the title track "Delirium". I will be preordering the album bundle for this album. It sounds like it will be their best one in years. Also I'll let it be known that I have a huge crush on Cristina Scabbia, and meeting her at one of their concerts didn't help XD! ( Read more... )
