This week for those of us that are lucky enough to pay for the
radio, SiriusXM, is holding a special music discovery week on all of their
stations. It is a chance for people to learn more music; either from the
popular bands that get some of there singles played all the time and they DJ’s
are playing not so known tracks from those albums or completely new bands. Some
bands that they have introduced are Japandroids, Chappo and Atlas Genius. Other
bands they have given us new music from are Linkin Park, Redlight King,
Grouplove, and Green Day. So for all of you that are interested in new music and
spend a long time in a car, I recommend taking a listen and see what sticks out
to you.

Blog introduction
Hey Jonathan here starting off my blog. This blog
is here just for me to talk about music that I am listening to for the day or
has been on my mind. First I'll start with a little about me, I'm currently
going to school at Full Sail University studying music business. I feel that
music is an art form and it can basically enhance your day or mood. Depending
on how my day is going kind of sets my preference of musical choice. But I
listen to all types of music from classical to rock to country. My top artists
at the moment are Rise Against, Eli Young, Shinedown, and I See Stars. So
music is very cyclic in its forms of what is popular. Back in the day people
played music on flute and drums to celebrate and for rituals then came music
used for plays in the form of chorus' in ancient Greece, to the polyphonic
music for religious rituals in the middle ages and used daily in the
Renaissance period to and then the operas came around. The next period of music
of we come to know as classical which is much more instrumental and created by
composers, i.e. Beethoven, Mozart, Bach. Then we run into the invention of the
radio and music gained tremendous popularity. We have since seen different
genres take the forefront from jazz to rock and roll to country to Hip-hop and
R&B and Electronica today to a mix of them all.
Thanks for tuning into to this post I know it is only the introduction
tune in next time to see what songs I have on my mind. Jonathan
