Foreign Pop Music Seeed German Reggae

Hey guys! It's been a while since I've done one of these, so I thought It would be time for another.....

Foreign Pop Extravaganza!

In this episode, if German reggae rap can be popular and win awards, whats stopping you from rapping?

Orgin: Germany 

Language: German and English

Style of Music: Reggae, Rap, Dancehall 

For Fans Of: Top 50, Island Music

Good For: Watching your friends confused looks when you tell them you listen to German Reggae 

Mainstreamability: 3/10 (I'm sorry, I like the stuff, but my friends who aren't German can't stand it :/ )

Associated Acts: Peter Fox, Bounzound, Delle, and Tanya Stephens

It took some time for me to find Seeed. One of my friends is a German exchange student and she would show me a lot of pop music but I could never get into to it. I find The German language and Reggae (Its true!!!!) goes kinda hand in hand. I found this on my own though actually when I was just surfing through the top 40 in various different countries as well as some other really cool artists (But that's for another time kiddies) 

Okay: I'll start with the first song I heard of in which I have absolutely no idea whats going on, or what he's saying, but Yet I always try to sing along. Augenbling! 

Augen Augen Blingin Blingin! Sigh...I wish I could speak German......Its a really fun song to dance to though! If I had to guess what it was about, I would guess that it would be about just letting go and dancing and having fun when your life is under stress or you're having a hard time. Give it a try! Its definetly my favorite song so far of this artist! And theres a random English break! Really random! 

This one is called Aufstehn and its a little more laid back, more of an island feel instead of a dance vibe. This one is a little easier to understand since there is more English and it just looks like some guys relaxin' on a boat. And there's CeeLo Green! The scenery is nice. Good chill music!

Then theres this one.....What You Deserve Is What You Get...with random dancing cavemen pillaging the cities! Hooray! I liked the song, but the music video....was a little much. Sorry. I've decided that I don't really like there music videos so much. But I like there music better. They also had a music video called Ding and.....Holyclaymationgorillaflirting it was strange. Here's What You Deserve for you all 

Well.....In conclusion I can't say I'm much in German music. The tone is still a little harsh for me, and Its a music taste that I think takes a while to get into. There is some certain songs that will certainly be showing up on my Ipod. 

Give it a try! If you like it, more power to you! Maybe you didn't even know the German reggae genre existed! Maybe now you'll become a German reggae artist and you thank me in the future. (You're welcome, just invite me to one of your concerts.

Tell me what you all think! If you'd like me to review another artist write them in the comments section below!

Canadian Stereotypes and 5 Canadian Snacks That I Miss

When I tell people that I'm originally from Canada people generally have a lot of preconceptions and questions to ask. Questions such as:

Did you have a pet moose? Does it snow all the time? Does everybody say 'eh' and aboot? Is everybody really such a pushover?

Really the only things that most Americans think about when I say I'm Canadian is that Canada is just a less cool America with maple syrup, Mounties, Carly Rae Jepson and Justin Beiber. So basically...

Sighhh.....but even though there are SO many of these misconceptions about Canada, 

I'm not bitter.

You want to know why? I'll clue you in on a little something.

Canadian food snacks are unbelievably absolutely amazing. 

Food may not be the first thing that you think of when you think about Canada, but its something that I truly miss. The area that I lived in was so ethnically diverse in cuisine, I considered myself very lucky. I suppose it varies from place to place, but speaking in terms of Montreal grocery store finds these would be my favorite candies and snack foods:

My Top 5  Favorite Canadian Junk Food Snacks. 

Aero Bar

Ooooh, sweet bubbly, lovely melty chocolate bars that have a lovely texture and just melt in your mouth. My favorite is the 60% Strangely enough, I have seen a couple of these in various Asian grocery stores in the US, but no where else!

                                      

Smarties

Though they share a name with those chalky colorful candies wrapped up in a cylinder, In Canada, they are actually delicious candy coated chocolates that are FAR superior to M&M's. They have a much different taste, a different shape and are slightly bigger

Wonder Bar

Good luck explaining these to American friends! Wonder bar is another chocolate bar with a strange, spongy, chewy, caramel, honey hard fluff on the inside. Definitely one of a kind!

Dill Potato Chips

Granted I do see these in the grocery store now, I first tried these in Canada (I can't remember the brand!!!!!) They were little rounds and they came out of what looked like a cat food bag but they were DELICIOUS. I miss you chips.

                                               

Coffee Crisp

I miss Coffee Crisp the moooost. In terms of taste, they are kind of like giant flaky Kit Kat bars with a taste of lovely sweet coffee. My absolute favorite. I saw that you could get them of Amazon but they waaay bananacrazytops expensive.

                                       

And runner up: Tim Hortons Donuts

While I can't admit to liking Tim Hortons coffee, (It's like flavored coffee milk and not in the good way)

I can admit that Timmy's donuts are delicious one and while.

                                                       

Yummmmm

I suppose the moral of my post is,

the next time you hear that somebody is Canadian, don't ask if they like Justin Beiber, instead ask them about Smarties and Ketchup and Pickle Chips. If you're nice they just might share some with you ;D. 

While I don't really like poutine if you're ever going to Canada, you might want to give it a try as well.

Omg, I can't write this any longer, I'm seriously craving chocolate. 

Tata for now!
