Blogging While In College, a.k.a. Sorry It’s Been So Long

So… long time no see? I’m just going to go ahead and apologize for the next few months, because I think I can speak for both Kelci and I when I say that this semester is turning out to be a little crazier than the last (hence why there hasn’t been any posts in almost a month). We’re still going to be blogging, but the posts will probably be more sporadic than usual, because we both have school as our first priority!

Being in college has caused me to listen to even more music than I did when I was in high school. I never leave my room without grabbing a pair of earbuds first, so I thought that I would let you guys in on what I’ve been listening to while walking to class during my first two weeks back at school. I haven’t had much time recently to go searching for new music, so I’ve just been putting my saved songs on Spotify on shuffle and seeing what comes up. It’s always interesting for me to rediscover songs that I had completely forgotten about, and it lets me see how much my taste in music has changed (and what has stayed the same)!

Thanks again for sticking around!

“Something From Nothing” is definitely more than something

 

Waiting for new Foo Fighters music this year has been killing me, and the sneak peeks they’ve been giving haven’t made it any easier. Luckily for all of us, they finally released one of the songs off the new album, Sonic Highways.

Incredible. “Something From Nothing” is the Foo Fighters at their best. The song starts out quiet and calm, but don’t be fooled. “Something From Nothing” continues to build over the course of 4 minutes and 48 seconds into a wild frenzy fueled by Dave Grohl’s energetic, passionate vocals and the frantic guitar work that accompanies them. The Foos keep it interesting though, as expected. A unique (and unexpected) addition to the song that immediately caught my attention was the funk-fueled guitar effects that are seamlessly mixed in around the middle of the song, right before all hell breaks loose and things start getting crazy.

After listening to this song, my excitement over their new album has grown exponentially. Sonic Highways doesn’t come out until November 10, so feel free to join me in playing this song on repeat for the next few weeks!
