Linkin Park - The Catalyst (Official HD)

Hey everyone just thought I leave on a high note since this will be my last blog post of the semester. This song was played before every home football game this year and it made the hair on the back of my neck stand up and got me ready to play the game. Everyone have a great break and be safe. Later!

Lifehouse - whatever it takes with lyrics

For those of you who don't know who Lifehouse is this gives you a little taste of what they bring to the table. This is my older sister's favorite band. I wouldn't say they are one of my favorite bands that I would listen to all the time, but once in a while everyone needs a feel good song.

Sick Puppies - Maybe

Here is band I hadn't heard of before, but thankfully I have my older sister who has about the same type of taste of music as I have. They remind me a lot of the band Lifehouse. If you haven't heard of them they sing mostly what consists of love songs kind of. This song just like "Broken Bones" makes me feel good and also makes me feel relaxed.

Move Your Body-My Darkest Days

Hey everyone I'm back with another video from My Darkest Days. The first song I posted from them was called "Pornstar Dancing". Again just while listening to different bands trying to find other songs I like I found this gem. This song makes me want to get up and dance. It must be the fast beat it has.

Rev Theory - Broken Bones (Lyrics)

Hey everyone back again with another video for you to watch. I came along this song while just surfing through youtube. I found out that they are compared to a band that I have like for a long time. Theory of a Deadman is who I am talking about. This songs make me feel good. Not like energetic just like a relaxing good feeling. Hope it does the same for you!

Rentfrow, Peter J., and Samuel D. Gosling. "The Do Re Mi's of Everyday Life: The Structure      and Personality Correlates of Music Preferences." Journal of Personality & Social    Psychology 84.6 (2003): 1236-1256. Academic Search Elite. EBSCO. Web. 8 Nov. 2010. This is a case study done dealing with individual differences and how music is used in  everyday life. They came up with four different music-preference dimensions: reflective   and complex, intense and rebellious, upbeat and conventional, and energetic and  rhythmic. These were determined from a wide variety of personality traits like openness,         political orientation, etc. This case study supports my thesis that personalities do not change from music the type of music people listen to.
