Come On Over-Christina Aguilera

I’m at Dance Marathon and this is one of the call songs. I used to actually like this song but now every time I hear it I have to run to the dance floor to see a presentation or a group perform. (Not that this is bad but it plays like every 5 seconds).

Call Me Maybe- Paradise Fears Cover

The song “Call Me Maybe” by Carly Rae Jepsen went viral soooo fast. It wasn’t because of the song itself but because of a lip-sync made by Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, Ashley Tisdale, and several others. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AsBsBU3vn6M It is funny even through I loath Justin Bieber. This is an amazing cover of “Call Me Maybe”. The song is catchy and impossible to get out of your head.

After class today I kept listening to different songs that I found to be ver culturally conflicting. One of my favorite songs, that I couldn’t find during section today, is “Never Chasing Pavements (Urban Nozie Remix)” by Jay-Z, Kanye West, and Adele. It is amazing and I strongly suggest you listen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AOySUriG4j8

It mashes Adele (Soulful Pop) and Jay-Z and Kanye West (Hip-Hop).

Power by Kanye West

This is a good upbeat song. The tempo is consistent through the whole song providing a good environment for Kanye to rap. I really like how they use the voices as a major part of the tempo. It gives a different outlook on this type of music.

Wiseman (Acousitc Verison) - Slightly Stoopid

The lyrics don’t start neil about 30 seconds in and I just was not expecting a Jamaican sound to come. I looked up the “normal” version and found a video. It made me think that I was in the Caribean not listening to Slightly Stoopid.

St. Louis Rag by Chris Chapman recorded by Victor 4916; 1906-10-05
A classical spasm by Harry Thomas recorded by Victor 18229; 1916-12-04
Hey! Hey! and Hee! Hee! (I’m Charleston Carzy) by International Novelty Orchestra recorded by Victor 19509; 1924-08-22

I choose “ragtime” as the theme for my curation. When listing to these songs I could picture each one in a silent movie, like “Steamboat Willy”. The first two are completely instrumental, while the last contains vocals during only the chorus. I thought that it was important to show the transition that ragtime made during this era.

Vaudeville: Aunt Dinah’s Golden Wedding by Empire Vaudeville Co.

I found the Vaudeville song, Aunt Dinah’s Golden Wedding by Empire Vaudeville Co. to be the most unfamiliar to me. It sounded like it came out of a musical but changed tempos multiple times. Both conversation and singing were combined but in unexpected ways. The main thing that was unfamiliar to me was the transition from upbeat to ballad in the middle of the song.
