The Intro

Why hello there, and welcome to Off the Record. This first post is just to give a little bit more in depth description of my purpose or drive behind this blog, as well as to list my current Top 10 Most played bands on my iTunes.

The idea behind the blog is rooted in my passion for music. Music impacts my everyday life, and I strongly believe that it impacts others' lives as well. Music stimulates emotions in us even if we don't realize this. I love music's power to reach every single person in a unique way, and that is why I want to work in the music industry one day, so that I can use it to impact the lives of those I come in connect with! My goal for this blog is to post approximately 3 times a week. Posts will be based on what music I have been listening to that week and I will expound on its meaning to me. Occasionally I will also post a Top 10 list, an album review, and even some YouTube videos of some cover songs that I enjoy. So in conclusion, Off the Record is my outlet to share my passion for music and what has been fueling that passion on a day to day basis. I hope that you enjoy reading it, and if you ever have some constructive criticism, I would love to hear it so that I can learn from it and grow to make this a better blog!

Now that that has all been said, these are the Top 10 artists that have been playing on my iTunes recently:

1. Forever the Sickest Kids (Pop Punk)
2. Ascend the Hill (Worship)
3. All Time Low (Pop Punk)
4. The Sleep Design (Instrumental Rock)
5. Damien Rice (Folk/Acoustic)
6. Taking Back Sunday (Rock)
7. We Are The In Crowd (Pop Punk)
8. Close Your Eyes (Progressive Pop Punk/Hardcore)
9. Yellowcard (Alternative/Pop Punk)
10. A Day To Remember (Post-Hardcore)

If you are looking for some good study music, I would highly recommend the album All That Is Not Music Is Silence by The Sleep Design. It is free if you click the link at the top of my page for "Come and Live!"  From there, click the downloads link and find the album and you will be set! It is really good!





I look forward to posting some music really soon! Thanks for reading!

P.S. -
The blog layout is still under construction, so I apologize if some of the links aren't working properly just yet. They will all be up and functional as soon as possible!
