QUESTIONS:
1) layout/navigation similarities
2) content/media similarities
3) your preferences and why

ANSWERS:
1. They layout of these website is very similar because they all consist of having a navigation ribbon at the top and adds on the sides of them. They also all explain different news going on. When I first got to those links, each sites header and pictures after the ribbon caught my eye quickly and I thought it was cool.
2. They all talk about new news from much resent timing, they have images, adds, header, ribbon and much more in common.
3. I very much like all the three of the websites because they each give me different types of news and are all unique in their own way. To me each site popped out in a unique way.

For my computer class I need to talk about something new I learned from the presentations of my classmates.I have to say that what I learned made me very happy and it is so useful, hope you like!

So two members of my class showed me the website last.fm. If you go on it and in the search box type an artist name or band name it will than show you almost like a profile of the band. It will give you a little biography of the band or artist, than show you all the albums that were made by the musician or band plus some other things. This website will also give you the “radio” of that band or artist and you can listen to it, that part is almost like Pandora, another music site. Now if you’re on the profile of the band or artist click on "View (band member or artist name will be next to the word VIEW)"...that will take you to another page and that page will let you see similar bands or artists to what you have already picked. So basically you get too introduce yourself to new music.

I will explain an example with the band name Tokio Hotel

A little biography that I know about the band is:

-5 band members, 2 are related, All members have been friends for a long time

-From Germany

-Songs are in English and German

-Most popular song is Monsoon

-Pop Rock/Alternative type of music

(Video of song “Monsoon” when they were young in German….Video of song with them a little older in English)

I found myself liking this new song by Tinie Tempah ft. Wiz Khalifa by being on YouTube. I must say Wiz Khalifa is one of my favorite rappers and so any song by him I can never hate. This song called “Till I’m Gone” is amazing and I think the replay button might break soon for that video hah!

Last night my friend chatted me on Facebook and told me to listen to a song by the band Dashboard Confessional. (Click here for the song). It is a great song and more of a "love song". I enjoy listening to it now and other music by this band. This is actually my favorite one though "Stolen". 

While I was trying to find a similar site to YouTube, I in fact did and it was called TED. On TED’s search box I typed in “new music” and one of the song that showed up was Imogen Heap plays "Wait It Out". It is a very soft song played live on the piano. Not my type of music really, but I just now am starting to learn to play the piano, so the music of that was good.
Here is the video!

As i finished listening to "Check It Out" by will.i.am. and Nicki Minaj on YouTube, i came across the song "She Loves Me" by will.i.am and it made me laugh. It is a 1 minute and 22 second song but still a catchy one. The video contains two hippos dancing and a kind of beach like tune.The lyrics was intresting such as "She love my roundness. She loves that I'm chunky. She love that I'm plumpy." I don't think i will be able to get this off my head now. The chorus "lalalalalala, Moto Moto" could make anyone smile!

This blog is going to be about a new song that I discover every day. It could be from a movie, radio, hearing from a friend or just me browsing music sites. I will explain what I like about the song and who the artist or the band of the song is and how I came across this song.
