Hello fellow music-lovers! My name is Ryan Hodes. I am currently a senior at Oak Park & River Forest High School, right outside of Chicago, IL. I am writing this blog because I love music. I can't promise the most eloquently worded sentences or nonpareil structure, but I can promise you awesome music suggestions, some maybe not-so-awesome (at least at first) album reviews. That is, if you have similar music tastes as me, of course. Other than that, some of the things I'll be writing about include concerts that I attend (not a ton), including festivals like Lollapalooza, new music that I like, music news, and basically all other things music! Some of the segments I have right now are song of the week and album of the month. I also make dope-ass playlists on Spotify, basically the most beautiful service that exists of any kind. If you don't have Spotify, I highly recommend downloading it, it's free! You can follow me on Spotify in the sidebar if you want. Anyways, if you have suggestions for other things you want me to write about, leave a comment and I'll most likely do it...I get bored sometimes.
I have a fairly wide range of music taste. My favorite band by a long shot is twenty one pilots. I'm seeing them in concert this friday, which is going to be beyond awesome. My other favorite artists include Passion Pit, AWOLNATION, Broken Bells, Bronze Radio Return, Coldplay, Portugal. The Man, Vampire Weekend, St. Lucia, Foster the People, The Head & The Heart, CHVRCHES, Mumford & Sons, Arctic Monkeys, and Tom Odell. There are also some up and coming bands that I'm very excited to hear more of, but I'll talk about them in later posts.
All this being said, I'd like to kick things off by awarding this week's song of the week, as well as February and March's album of the month. In the future, I will have more in depth album reviews and song descriptions, but I'll keep it short for now. I will likely post a blog entry roughly once a week, talking about various things. You can find full lists of songs of the week and albums of the month on separate pages in the menu bar. Enjoy!
Song of the Week, 4/15/14: I Wanna Get Better, BLEACHERS
Album of the Month, February: After The Disco, Broken Bells
March: Supermodel, Foster the People
note: After the Disco may not work on Spotify for everybody
