I just went to my first music show, who was it you might ask?
Yeah, thats who, and it was fucking amazing.
I was one of those fist pounding, mosh pit maniacs you see on the news. Not only that but I leapt the fuck up on stage and danced with the DKM.
Pretty amazing first show.
So Se++, tell me about some of the music shows you have been too.

woooo
Kinda like house shows. House concerts are ridiculous and unbelievable
Gogol Bordello (amazing and crazy energy. I did get beat up in the mosh pit though)
Neil Young (totally worth the drive. The "A Day in the Life" cover at the end alone was worth the ticket)
Bob Dylan (interesting for sure and no where near as terrible as I had heard it would be)
Bedouin Soundclash (terrible, the lead guy wants to be Joe Strummer so badly. However, the opening band, Hey Ocean, was amazing)
The best show I have been to though, without a doubt, was Battles. It was a religious experience
buy them now
Other then them I haven't been to much lately, going to a Reel Big Fish show in January.
but that one concert was radiohead, so I'm okay with that
My only problem with Flogging Molly is that they are so tame, I get all relaxed when listening to their stuff. Not my kind of music to jump around and scream with.
Not that I mind the slower stuff, but If I'm in the mood for something quicker and louder they're not normally the first cd I reach for. Also RBF does put on an amazing live show, I saw them a few years ago at the state fair and was very impressed.
radiohead, MGMT and tom waits are my current "pay anything to see" concerts
I am insanely jealous of anyone who has seen radiohead live
Only one's I've been to are Bruce Springsteen, Jon Brion, Kurt Elling, New Orleans Nightcrawlers, and The Brotherhood of Groove. At least those are the only one's I've remembered. I have been to a ton of symphony performances, but those don't really count I think
My voice is gone, just utterly gone.
Also hearing from my left ear, it is still ringing.
Fucking worth it.
If Flogging Molly comes to Knoxville I will definitely check it out.
I still can't watch the scene where jack nicholson fucks up dicaprio's hand
i was smooooooth
It makes me curious to see you in this neighborhood. And if I can slander my own environment it makes me sad, this... regression. Plus, I don't know if it's beyond some fucking cop prick like Queenan to pull you out of the Staties and send you gift-wrapped to me. I just can't know. I wonder what they do in that particular department anyway.
and system of a down had a monstrous screen with naked titties floppin' all over the place
that was a good show
I'm thinking of going to Big Day Out (in new Zealand) in January
by the way, Dr Ian, is that The Ting tings in your sig? I say this because they are playing at Big day out, i don't really like them either though.
DUUUU HASSSSTTT
DUUU HAAAAAST MEEEEE
I hope it was one of the crimson and black ones, if it was anything else you made a grave mistake.
I really wish I had not sold my DS but I had not picked it up in like 4 or 5 months. I guess I will have to buy another one eventually.
nah, it's Kristen Bell on one of the bonus features in Forgetting Sarah Marshall
O god the Ting Tings are arglghgl but I have had "Thats Not My Name" stuck in my head for so long
FUCK YOU ORIK
those are good choices
I like your taste in music, vorus
well based purely on how much fun i had, has to be the first time i saw the cure. i met robert smith and the rest of the band, got to be on the radio, and got shit signed. also AFI did a cover of Ziggy Stardust that was awesome. My only regret is that I missed Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and Kings of Leon, but whatever.
Oh fuck, i forgot about the Nada Surf show. I have to admit, although i liked them, i didnt go for them. I went for Sea Wolf (who were great), and Nada Surf was just kind of like a bonus. But holy SHIT are they energetic as fuck. They turned Blankest Year, a two minute song, into a 10 minute jam-fest, in which people close to the stage got to get up there and just dance like whiteys. Luckily for me, I WAS ONE OF THOSE WHITEYS.
Based purely on how much i enjoyed the music, has to be Silversun Pickups tied with Bloc Party.
SSPU's opener, Happy Hollows, was fucking so goddamn energetic and great. They've got an EP out and if you like shit like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and the Strokes, check them out. Silversun was also fucking amazing.
Bloc Party's opener, Final Fantasy, was also fucking awesome, and now i own both of his cds. Owen Pallett is awesome. My only complaint with Bloc Party was that they ONLY played album stuff, which meant no Two More Years, Cain Said to Abel, Staying Fat, Storm and Stress, Always New Depths, Skeleton, Hero, or Flux. Those were all my favorite Bloc Party songs, and the crowd was screaming for Two More Years and they ignored them. Whatever, it was still goddamned AMAZING, and i'm seeing them again in a month for Not So Silent Night along with the Killers, Death Cab, Franz Ferdinand, and Jack's Mannequin.
My full list of concerts is as follows:
Barenaked Ladies
Blue's Traveler
The Cure + AFI
Silversun Pickups + Happy Hollows + Midnight Movies
Nada Surf + Sea Wolf
The Cure + 65daysofstatic
Bloc Party + Smoosh + Final Fantasy
Stars
last week hellogoodbye played
the line of 16 year old emo kids was hilarious
so awesome
I should have guessed really.
She has the the same haircut as the Ting Ting girl has in the Not my Name alternate music video, both the guys have beards.
Furthermore, I find the Ting Tings to be rather boring, not very good lyrics and so you listen to the music, which is just accompanying and so you go back 5to the lyrics, in a perpetual cycle of vague disappointment.
Solution, I hid it in the garbage can, I pulled back the bag and stuck it in between the can itself and the bag. Amazingly good hiding spot.
yes yes yes
they have one catchy hook each song (that I know) and absolutely nothing else
I kind of want to go to big day out to see neil young and I think pendulum are going to be there? and also to laugh at bullet for my valentine and emo faggots who think they're tough, but I can't really be bothered flying to auckland from dunedin.
kpop appreciation station i also like to tweet some
oh shit i forgot The Police + Elvis Costello WOOPS
my current list of must sees:
The Decemberists (i actually had tickets and they fucking canceled the show! and then when they came back, the tickets sold out like 4 months in advance! assholes!)
Daft Punk
Muse
Yeah Yeah Yeahs
Third Eye Blind
Smashing Pumpkins
Cold War Kids
Arcade Fire
Phantom Planet
The Strokes
i guess that pretty much covers people i want to see but aren't or don't already have tickets to go see
