The King Of Pop Has Died


It's official. Michael Jackson died yesterday, Thursday June 25 at 2:26 p.m. so far all we know is that he died of cardiac arrest. The reason I didn't post this yesterday is because I honestly couldn't believe it. I remember listening to a whole bunch of his music when I was younger, even now. It always made me want to dance and it just brings back so many memories. I knew practicaly every single song of his. I don't know a single person who didn't know about him, good or bad.

But right now we should remember him for his music and how it made everyone come together I guess. Yes it might sound cheesy but that's exactly what it did, his audiences were everything from black to white to asian, europeans, hispanics, everyone knew him.

I remember everytime it would be cleaning day, my dad would blast the music. And sometimes it just gave me goose bumps. Watching his concert DVDs were amazing, he was so talented and he had so much energy, he was an icon. He was the man who invented the moonwalk, he had so many dance moves that were so hard to do, you had to have talent to be able to do them. And that's how we should remember him, as the King Of Pop, the best there ever was.

More Bands: Paramore


Left to Right: Jeremy Davis, Josh Farro, Hayley Williams, Zac Farro

It's been a little while since I've posted about a band. I think almost everyone knows Paramore, has heard one of their songs, or at least has heard their name before. Their music is Alternative Rock or Pop Punk. Some people call them a christian band but it's not the first thing I think about when I listen to their music. The band was formed in Franklin, Tennessee, they even made a song called Franklin on their album All We Know Is Falling. This is the band at the moment:

Hayley Williams: Vocals, Born: December 17, 1988 in Meridian, Mississippi

Josh Farro: Lead Guitar, Zac Farro's older brother, Born: September 29, 1987 in Voorhees, New Jersey

Zac Farro: Drums, Born: June 4, 1990 in Voorhees, New Jersey

Jeremy Davis: Bass, Born: February 8, 1985 in North Little Rock, Arkansas

Their first album was All We Know Is Falling(2005). This album is pretty good sometimes I find it better than Riot(2007). They worked on two songs for the movie Twilight, they were Decode and I Caught Myself. Both are very good and I have listened to both more than 50 times most probably. Some of their biggest hits were Misery Business and That's What You Get both from their album Riot.

The band is awesome and some of the members are pretty hot too :P. Hayley I always know her as the fiery haired girl that has so much energy, always running around during performances, how does she do it?

If you haven't heard them yet you should really check them out, I know I was addicted to them when I first started listening to them.
