The Key of Awesome - Heavy Metal Cats

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAfpq6EPKck
Dear Sunway, I like kittens, and so does The Key of Awesome. When addicted to cats, this video is art.
That’s why I chose “Heavy Metal cats”. This is serious and must not be seen as some kind of a joke. The video is great, because it describes my life!

Flobots - Handlebars

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HLUX0y4EptA&ob=av3e

This music video questions whether or not it is right that mankind possesses these many, near-godly abilities, such as being able to take the life of another human being by a simple pull on a trigger, or enslaving entire populations. Such questions of morale are quite interesting in my opinion.

- Lukas Gaarden

Coldplay - Every Teardrop Is a Waterfall

I have chosen a song by coldplay, normally I don´t really like their music but this song catch me. The rythm in the song ar catching and I use it for inspiration and motivation when I read or ride. The lyric have a beautiful message, I just love that song!

Tyler The Creator - Yonkers
He is vomiting, eating a cockroach and killing himself on camera. He is supposed to be a role model for our young generation, but he doesn’t seem to care at all. Its simple and repulsive, but that’s what makes it unique. I think its badass. he wears a nice shirt

Oliver Straten 

Carpark North - Burn It

I have chosen the video “Burn It” by Carpark North. They aren’t my favorite band but I love the text they have written. It’s also reminds me of my year on continuation school and the gymnastic. The song and the video have inspired me to the gymnastic that I love.   

-Stine Andie Bødker

The Pussycat Dolls - Beep ft. Will.i.am

I have chosen this video because it reminds me about the time were I started dancing. The pussycat dolls where the one that inspired me by the way that they were moving around in all their videos. When I saw their videos I always wished to dance just like them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1r9ghI7YcL0&ob=av2e

- Stine Beck Jeppesen.

Deep Sea Diver

Deep Sea Diver is actually not one of my favorite bands, but when i am in the a sort of half - melancholic mood I tend to listen to it. I think that the music recorded from live sessions brings the purity back to the music and thats one of the main reasons why I always listen to it.

PINK - FUCKIN' PERFECT

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1bcQMCZ5gU

The reason why I picked Fucking Perfect by Pink, is because everyone has to know, that they can’t always be perfect. A human being can’t always figure out, what the right thing is to do. When I listen to this song, I remind myself off, that it is all right to make mistakes.

Sophie Collet  

Eels- Fresh Blood

“Eels” is one of my favorite bands and I find them to be a great inspiration source for me. This song is really one of a kind, and I still tend to get the chills whenever I listen to it, because it has some sort of creepy feel to it. 

- Signe H. Overgård

Carpark North - Human

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7Kw6s8CTrk&ob=av2e

I chose this video because I think it is very awesome when the kids are freaking out and everything is perfectly made. The song is also really nice. I can remember the first time I heard it on Boogie, and it’s like the song have followed me since then.

The Beatles - Here Comes the Sun

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6tV11acSRk 
I remember all those mornings, where this song woke me up, ready for another day. The lyrics are very simple, but yet so touching. It's especially fantastic when one is in a bad mood. It creates hope, and brings word that whatever happens the light will always come again sometime.

BEYONCE - COUNTDOWN

I have chosen this video with Beyoncé, because I’m a big fan of her. She inspires me a lot with the way she dance and the way she uses the music and makes it sensitive. In the video Beyoncé dances the choreography from Anna Teresa De Keersmeaker who was a famous dancer once.

Rebecca Black – Friday

Rebecca Black – Friday

I have chosen this song, because it is absolutely amazing, and might just be the best song mankind has ever had the pleasure of listing to. The lyrics are what makes this song so great, it helps me remember what day comes after Friday, and so on.

PETER!

SOAP - Let Love Be Love

I chose this song: ”SOAP – Let Love Be love”, because it is my favorite Christmas song. It has been my favorite since 7^th grade when I heard the song in the church, and every time I hear it, I always become happy and get in Christmas spirit.

Something with music

The National - Exile Vilify

I chosen The National - Exilie Vilify. I do realy like this song, it makes me happy and sad at the same time. It's kinda beautiful with the piano and the violins, the text is just fantastic and it "takes your mind again." This is a song I surely will remember.

Bjørn Jepsen Mark

The Snowman

Walking in the air
I have chosen the song “Walking in the air” from the Christmas cartoon The Snowman. The reason why I have chosen this song is because I think it’s a great cartoon and a beautiful song. To think that a little boy can sing so marvelous is fantastic.

Rammstein - Sonne

I have chosen Rammstein -Sonne. In my opinion Rammstein it's one of the best metal bands. I think it's  nostalgic, and they have made hundreds of fantastic songs. I also choose it, because i'm looking forward to the concert in Herning, and I think it will be an awesome experience.

I have chosen the song ''leaving on a jet plane''. It reminds me of some of the evenings at continuation school, we were all sitting in the common room, and singing. And I think, that our song did sound a bit more exciting than him on the video.

Justice - Civilization
I chose this video because I’m absolutely in love with the animation of the video. The song is amazing as well, but I can’t seem to listen to this song without watching the video. I’m trying to figure out the lyrics, but who says that songs have to make sense?

Phil Collins - In The Air Tonight

I have chosen this song, because it reminds me a lot of a friend of mine. We were best friends in public school. In the end of the song, we had fun pretending to be the drummer. We did listen to a lot of songs by Phil Collins in 9^th grade.

Homework for next time - November 29th

Hi everyone,

I hope you have almost finished your assignment on music for November 15th.

The following is your homework for November 29th. I want you to listen to the following five links:

Soul Asylum, Runaway Train

Culture Beat, Mr. Vain

REM, Losing My Religion

Sinéad O’Connor, Nothing compares 2U

Nirvana, Smells Like Teen Spirit

They are all songs from back when I was a "gymnasium"-student in the early 1990's. Hopefully you will enjoy them :-)

When you have listened to all of them, I want you to think about the differences and similarities between music then and now. Do you know the songs? Do you like the songs? Why or why not?

Be prepared to discuss the music in class.

See you,
Solveig
