Music Monday- Kids These Days

The other night I saw Kids These days in concert, and they blew my mind! It was an excellent performance. There is so much energy on stage with it being a 8 piece band consisting of a trumpet player, sax player, trombone player, blues guitarist/ singer, rapper, bass player, drummer, and piano player/ singer. This is definitely my new favorite band.

Kids These Days is like hip-hop, jazz and blues mixed, but they just call it "Traphouse Rock" I'm not sure how to explain it. Just listen to it.

Summerscent

This song is really good, its been stuck in my head for a while now, its called "Clear Eyes"

They are also on the hook of one of my favorite songs by Asher Roth called "Hard Times"

If your digging their sound, check out their website. www.kidsthesedaysband.com. At their concert they said that their new CD is coming out soon and it will be called "Traphouse Rock" and they played some crazy songs that they said were going to be on it like "Don't Harsh My Mellow" which was my favorite. I CANT WAIT for it to come out! This is some video of the concert I saw.

Diversitile "White Washed"

Diversitile made these shoes specifically for The Hundreds, and themed them off of The Hundreds store in Santa Monica. I think they are pretty sick.

Secondhand Sureshots

I stumbled upon this movie called "Secondhand Sureshots" it's about making beats with sampling records and it's very inspiring! If I made beats I would definitely use this as inspiration. I have heard a lot of people say that sampling isn't a real art form, but if you watch this video hopefully it will change your mind.

Philosophy Friday-Against Interpretation of Music

A philosopher/Cultural Theorist argued that when we look at art works we sometimes tend to interpret meanings to what the art physically shows. She argues that when we try to fully interpret these works, we say that such and such represents this and it means that. When in fact we could possibly be wrong from what the artist's intended purpose of putting something in the art work. Also, it's possible the artist's intent of making the art was to not have a purpose but rather just to make something intriguing. From there, she says that we should just look at art and only find the intriguing shapes and colors. This same concept can be put into music. We listen to those types of music that either has meaning either about politics or consciousness, or the type of music that talks about nonsense and how many expensive cars this rapper has. Though yes, rappers bragging about how many girls he hits up in the club is a bit absurd, it could be that the artists intent was not to make a real meaning to his music but to just make a song that is just to have fun. It is good for listeners to find meanings in a song that the artists put out, but listeners can ease their mind and just enjoy music without meaning by listening to the nice rhythm and beats in the song.

Here is a video interview on Paul Rosenberg's morning show where Tyler, The Creator explains the ridiculousness of people who try to interpret his song "Yonkers" and the content in his music video of "Yonkers".

Jeremy Scott "Handcuff"

Jeremy Scott is always making the craziest designs for shoes and this one is just as extravagant. This shoe is called the "handcuff" because it has a chain link handcuff attached to the back of the heel. It's crazy!
