What's on My MP3?



This is what my MP3 looks like, I can't afford an iPod, too pricey!

I was reading people's blogs, commenting on the cool stuff they put on them when I seen one that kind of inspired me to do this one.


On my MP3, there's a lot of stuff people don't like, nothing inappropriate, mostly Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, The Beatles, Aerosmith, a little Foreigner, Jon Bon Jovi, etc. I'm probably the only one who graduated from high school in 2008 that is a massive fan of British rock, Latin, R&B, etc.


If you love The Rolling Stones, then I'd suggest checking out their Bridges to Babylon album, alot of the stuff on that one is newer, but still good, some of the songs are original, but other than that, totally awesome, and if you want to catch a glimpse of the Rolling Stones in their heyday when they were first getting started, then let me suggest the Hot Rocks album, alot of the tracks on there are their early stuff, from 1964-1971.
And if you're looking for all their really good tracks, then check out their Forty Licks album, taken from the fact that it has forty songs on it, thus the name Forty Licks. There are a couple tracks on there I especially love, both are on Disc 2, You Got Me Rocking and Emotional Rescue. Those 2 are 2 really good tracks. My favorite ones in The Rolling Stones are it's lead singer Mick Jagger and it's rhythm guitarist Ronnie Wood as most would call him. The reason I like these 2 is because at Mick's age, he is built like a brick house, he's in incredible shape and so is the rest. Some would consider it weird that I find a man Mick Jagger's age very handsome, but that's who I am. Ronnie Wood is my other favorite because when he's on stage, he looks like he's just up there having fun playing guitar, he looks like a little kid just having fun. And plus, he's one freakin awesome guitarist.


And if you're into more mellow British rock, then let The Beatles be for you. They're all the glam and glitz of a rock band but with the mellowness of the 1960s British Invasion-era. The Beatles 1 album is definitely one to check out, it has all their good stuff on it, I guess that's why they call it 1, all their #1 hits. Unfortunately, John Lennon and George Harrison weren't around to see how popular the Beatles were, but they live on in the form of people playing Beatles hits. And if it's Paul McCartney you like, then the Band on the Run album is for you. It's pretty good. I'm just glad that George Harrison and his wife Patti weren't with Mick Jagger and Keith Richards the night they got arrested by the London police for drug possession. I really don't think they would have needed to spend time in jail because of something that Keith may have done and dragged Mick into.


If Latin music is more you, I have that on it too. Shakira, Enrique Iglesias, Ritchie Valens are the only Latin singers I listen to. I love their music because it's calming, romantic. All 3 of these singers have greatest hits albums out, and along with other albums. For Shakira, the She Wolf album is definitely worth checking into, the main track on there, She Wolf, has a nice Latin beat to get you up and dancing.


And if R&B is more your thing, I got just the thing for ya. Aaliyah is an R&B singer based out of Brooklyn, that's where she's from. Her music is all romantic and good, there's one track that should be checked into, Try Again, this song is really good, and if you seen the movie Romeo Must Die with Jet Li in it, he's in the video for the song. Unfortunately, poor Aaliyah is no longer with us anymore. She's R&B-ing up in heaven, she was sadly killed in a plane crash, but she lives on through her music. And Seal is a good one too, he's R&B as well, one of his tracks, Kiss From a Rose, is eerily romantic, and yet very addictive, because if you listen to it once, you might be tempted to listen to it again. As for me, I love all the old-school R&B, Etta James, Ella Fitzgerald, Aretha Franklin, etc.


If you're into just rock and hard rock, then go in the direction of Aerosmith, Foreigner, etc. Those 2 bands I love listening to, I have a favorite in both bands. In Aerosmith, my 2 favorites are the lead singer Steven Tyler and the lead guitarist Joe Perry. Both are very handsome men and they can really rock on stage. It seems like they're the only ones you'd notice on stage, if they played in concert. And in the band Foreigner, my favorite is the lead singer Kelly Hansen, he's cute and he can really hit those high notes. For these bands, for Aerosmith, I recommend either the Devil's Got a New Disguise album, the O Yeah! album or the Big Ones album. All 3 of those are VERY good albums and have all of Aerosmith's really awesome songs. For Foreigner, I recommend the No End in Sight album, it has all their good stuff on 2 CD's. More than enough Foreigner to go around!


And if you're totally clueless about what these guys look like, here are some pics. Because you'll probably read this and think "Who are these people?" Well, here are some pics to clear things up if you don't know what they look like:
The Rolling Stones                                   

                       
My favorites in this pic are the one to the far right: Ronnie Wood(rhythm guitarist),and the one 2nd from the right,                          next to Ronnie holding the sunglasses: Mick Jagger(lead singer). These 2 are totally awesome. Plus, Mick is really hot still. I know this may sound strange coming from someone who was around AFTER these guys came out, but I really think he's sexy still! But I guess it's because I sort of have a thing for English guys with cute accents.

Aerosmith                                             Paul McCartney

                                   

Shakira                                             Enrique Iglesias

                                     

Seal                                                                  Aaliyah                                                             

                                 
The Beatles


My favorites in this picture are: Paul McCartney(2nd from right)George Harrison(far right) and John Lennon(far left). The reason they're my favorite is because Paul still entertains today, in this pic George Harrison was really hot, and, he cared alot about others. Thank God he wasn't there the night Mick Jagger and Keith Richards got arrested for drug possession. And John Lennon, I'm with him on giving peace a chance. It never hurts to try and  solve things nonviolently w/o having to resort to violence.

As you can see, my tastes in music are ALL over the place, in all kinds of decades and stuff, from the groovy and British 60s, to awesome 80s, and from rock to R&B, to British rock, you name it!
Sorry if the pictures keep not showing up, sorry about this.

Goals for the future.

I have a lot I would love to accomplish in my time here on Earth. You only have one life, so why not make it interesting? Well, for starters, I'd love to travel, to places far and exotic, like China, Japan, Italy, England, Australia. I'm not sure why it is that these places I would love to travel to, but there's just something about these places I'd love to see, I guess for England it's because one of my favorite bands is from there, The Rolling Stones, they got started by playing gigs at different clubs around London, like The Marquee Club, or places that may not be in London, like the Crawdaddy Club or the Longleat House. 


But right now in the now dimension, I just want to graduate. I'm currently attending Gateway Community and Technical College for an Associates Degree in Graphic Design. When I graduate, I want to get a job in Graphic Design. If there's a way to make a job out of doing CD covers for famous bands/artists, let me at it. Because this kind of stuff and advertising is what I love to do. I actually did a poster for a friend of mine. He's a massive music listener and he told me what he wanted on a poster and I had to ask him to repeat it because I thought I was hearing things. He wanted a poster for a 3 day music weekend, and as for the type of music, he told me British Invasion, I kid you not, he told me the artists he wanted, and he wanted the poster to make it look like these 3 English bands were going to each put on a concert over the course of 3 days. He wanted The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney and Wings, and The Who on here. I finished it for him and he paid me $30 for it. Cool.


Sometimes I wonder, how do we begin to like the stuff we like now? When I think back on who I was when I was younger, I proudly admit that when I was younger, I was the type of girl who went nuts for the boy bands of the late 1990s and early 2000's. But thank God I outgrew that phase. I sometimes wonder how I got to like bands like The Beatles, Aerosmith, The Rolling Stones, etc. And then it hits me: my step dad. Yeah, I got a step dad, he's awesome. And it also surprises some to hear that he's part Italian and part Jewish. Some people make a big deal out of it, saying "your step dad is Italian? Wow, I never knew that". Yup, I have a step dad, his name is Greg and he is awesome. I guess he's the reason why I like all these cool older bands, because he likes them, he basically introduced their music to me. And also, it extends to TV as well. There's these 2 TV shows that I love watching, although most people in my part of the world may not know what they are. Not surprisingly, they're both TV shows out of England, one's called Top Gear, the other is called My Family. I love the show Top Gear, it's funny and it teaches you about cars, and sometimes they do funny stunts with cars, like this one episode where they had to build their own limos and take these British singers to an award show. Another part of the show I like is when they have famous people on there. I have an episode I haven't watched yet at home on the DVR, it's an episode of Top Gear from 2007, that has Ronnie Wood from The Rolling Stones on it. Man he is one awesome dude. The other TV show I like is called My Family. It's about this guy named Ben Harper, who's a dentist, and his family, his wife Susan, his sons Nick and Michael, daughters Abby and Janie. I swear, my sister is exactly like Janie. and my mom says that I'm a mix of Abby and Nick, because I can be a little ditzy sometimes and I'm a massive music lover and a little clueless like Nick.


But my main goals for the future is to travel. Sorry if I tend to get off topic. I must have the attention span of a fly or something. But I really want to travel to places outside of the US. I've never really been on vacation anywhere outside the US and I really want to travel. I want to go to places far away, like England, China, Japan, Italy, Australia. But I'll definitely be getting myself a passport otherwise I ain't going anywhere! Another goal I have is to go to a concert for a band I actually like, when I was younger, I went to a concert with my sis for a band my parents both liked before they divorced, it was this country band called Alabama. They're okay, but I never really cared for them. Now, if I ever go to a concert, it's going to be for Aerosmith, The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Seal or Shakira. Either one of those is fine with me. Believe it or not, I'm probably the only one in my college classes who actually loves music like Paul McCartney or The Rolling Stones. I'd love to see BOTH of these bands in concert because their music is totally amazing!

Music

When it comes to music, some will tell me that they have a favorite singer or someone who's in a band that they have the major hots for. Well, the musicians that I love alot, people my age would think I'm on crack for thinking these guys are still cute, and I say let them think that, as long as I know I like them, no problemas! But I'm proud to admit that I find Mick Jagger, Ronnie Wood cute. I find them especially sexy in these 2 pics.
These are pictures of the guys who make up one of my favorite bands, The Rolling Stones:
Mick Jagger                                 Ronnie Wood                  Charlie Watts
                  
I love these guys because their music is totally awesome. I'm not big on Keith Richards, The Rolling Stones totally rule, but in past years, I've heard about Keith dong things that I can't exactly understand why he was doing them. At home I get made fun of alot because one time I happened to have said that I find Mick still sexy. My dad gave me a look like I was sprouting 4 heads, he said "Caitlin, are you on drugs?" I told him no and that I found him to be still handsome. I'm definitely not like most of my peers. Whereas most of my peers find someone their age hot, for some reason, I find that someone like Mick Jagger is still attractive, hopefully I can find someone out there, a nice guy with a funny side and romantic side. I'm not sure why, but for some reason, I find Mick Jagger extremely sexy in this picture.
Seal, he's one of my favorite R&B musicians, not to mention drop dead gorgeous!

 
Shakira                                Enrique Iglesias    these 2 are my favorite Latin musicians




                                     


Paul McCartney
It may seem like all I listen to is British rock and Latin and R&B, but it's just what I like, I'm not like most people my age, most people my age are supposed to listen to hip hop, I think, but my tastes are stuck in the groovy British 60s and Latin and R&B times. If I didn't have to share a room with a younger sibling at home, I'd be decking the walls in all things 1960s and 1970s, there would be the one Beatles poster, maybe a couple Rolling Stones posters, a poster for Paul McCartney and peace signs galore!


And I don't know why the pictures never show up, it ticks me off, I want to use pictures on this thing and they don't show up? Ridiculous!

Music

You know how everyone has that one band/artist that they're totally devoted to? Like some people will call themselves a 'Beatles' person or someone will call themselves a 'Who' person or a 'rap' person or a 'rock person. Well, when it comes to me, my tastes in music are all over the place, in all kinds of genres and decades. Firstly, I'm a massive fan of British rock, like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and Paul McCartney. Those 3 musicians I could listen to forever, all day and all night if given the chance. And when it comes to other genres, I love Latin music, like Enrique Iglesias, Shakira, Carlos Santana. And just regular rock music like Foreigner, Aerosmith, Van Halen, you name it. And I'm also an avid fan of R&B, jazz, New Orleans-style jazz. That stuff is very relaxing, when it comes to R&B, I could just about listen to any R&B artist, like Aaliyah, Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, or Jazz, like Etta James, Ella Fitzgerald, Aretha Franklin, you name it. I love music in general, the only music I don't listen to is new wave stuff, like Nirvana, The Sex Pistols, or rap. sorry, you find that junk on my MP3. Most of the stuff you'll find on this lovely little piece of technology is mainly Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, The Beatles and the occasional Latin artist mixed in there somewhere. Here are some pictures of some of the artists that I listen to, now I'm not necessarily saying that these artists are better than what others may listen to, I just happen to like these musicians:




The Rolling Stones:                                          Paul McCartney and Wings                                                                           
                                                                                          
                      


The Beatles

     

In the picture of The Rolling Stones, my favorites are the one 2nd from the right: Mick Jagger, the one on the far right: Ronnie Wood as most call him, and the one on the far left: Charlie Watts 

In the Beatles pic, my faves are the 2 on the left, Paul McCartney and George Harrison.
I really don't understand why the pictures aren't showing up, it's really beginning to make me mad

Weekends

My weekend was "interesting". Well first to start things off, I heard Toys R Us was hiring, so I decided to hunt around for a job application. I thought I found it and when I took it home to fill out later, I seen all these things applying to the UK, and that's when comprehension kicked in full blast-- this was a job application for a Toys R Us in England! Somehow I totally overlooked the address on it, it was an application for a Toys R Us in Dartford, England! Talk about a serious blond moment. And then I heard about St. E's hiring so my dad printed out an application for it and I seen the address on it and it was for the St. Elizabeth Medical Center in Mt. Vernon, New york. So somehow, me and my dad both printed out wrong job applications. He almost died laughing when he heard where the Toys R Us application was for. I even laugh at it just thinking about it. That's what you got to do, you can't get stressed out over something like that, I mean, it's so stupid it's funny. I was wiping my eyes I was laughing so hard at that. It's amazing what can happen, huh? This time, if I look for the Toys R Us application, I'm going to look it over instead of last time, my dad doesn't need any ammo to start laughing. This weekend was also my birthday. Friday night I went out with my mom and step-dad and sister for Chinese at this place near her house. Then Saturday night, my sister had to work and me, my step-dad, his mom and my mom went out for Chinese at this place on Glenway Ave, called Grand China. That place is good if you want Chinese food and to sit down and enjoy it. But my weekend, I spent laughing at that job application, sorry, it was cracking me up. My mom thought something was wrong with me because I kept laughing at everything, someone would say something funny, and there I'd go. I just find humor in everyday life, that's all. If Mrs. Thomas reads this, Hi! how are you today? I didn't really get that much, but I didn't really want that much for my birthday. I got a retro looking Beatles T-shirt with their picture on it for my birthday and I also got a CD, it was of Paul McCartney. He's a cool musician, and my aunt has a really huge crush on him!
