Showing posts with the label favourite band

MUSE

One word to describe this show: EPIC. Lights + sounds + Matt + Dominick + Chris = E P I C Honestly, I have no other words to express how awed I was during the entire two-hour show. Muse is one of my favourite bands, so seeing them perform LIVE (in Edmonton, no less!), was nothing short of spectacular. From start to finish, Muse was nothing short of surreal. What amazes me most is that these three guys are incredibly humble and gracious. I mean, there they were: the best live performers of my generation, but they seemed humbled by our screams. Gah. Perfection. One more thing, in addition to feeling awed by the trio, t'was interesting that for once in my life, I felt sated after a concert. Most times, I just want to re-live the experience over and over again. This time, I felt complete.

Mon coeur est mort...

Well, no. It's not really "mort", but it is sad. COD? Death by knowledge . Sometimes I am positive that ignorance is bliss. I wish they were still together. My Bedouin.

Yet ANOTHER Reason to Love the Soundclash

Jay apologized for his naughty behaviour at the Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival. Personally. Through a letter . awwwwwwww! Jay! He wrote to the organizers and even got in touch with someone who was injured when he (stupidly) threw a bottle into the audience. Bad, Jay! Though I also thought he acted very immaturely stupidly, I always find that people are too quick to judge. That's why I liked one of the comments on this article. The author of this comment acknowledges that while what Jay did was a no-no, that she wondered whether "the audience members who threw bottles,etc at the performers would be willing to acknowledge their errors in judgement[.] Easy to critique someone in the spotlight..harder to shine a spotlight on yourself. [sic]" You tell 'em Theresa04! Ugh. I miss their music... so much. Okay... maybe not just their music, but their former-drummer, too. Hey! Can you BLAME me? Look at him! I think this is the best Pat picture I took. le sigh.

I Lied...

... when I said I would stop at 8 concerts. I blame Fabiana. I was all set to stay home and mourn my lack of loyalty towards my favourite band when she phoned to see if I wanted to join her--and I wouldn't have to pay her back! How could I say no? She's a temptress !! haha! In any case, Bedouin was, as always, A-fucking-MAZING! And their opening band was from Edmonton! They support local talent--how can I NOT adore them? Anyway, the above picture is of Fabs and Luls. Both these chickies (having attended all of the Bedouin shows in the city, haha!) were pulled onstage by Jay! It made my heart happy to see them up there! Especially since they literally haven't missed a single one of their shows and this show was phenomenal (though I hate to admit that the horn section almost stole the show...) During Bedouin's  Rudy  cover, these dudes played two of the wickedest solos I have ever heard (the only exceptions being Taylor Hawkins' solo at the Foos concert last March ...

I should be studying.

Instead, I am on facebook, blogger and myspace all at once. I love multitasking. At least I'm semi-done my html assignment. *whew!* Learning html puts websites into perspective. I'll never look a website the same way, again. So much work goes into design and usability. Really, it's hard stuff. Juno comes out on DVD today!! WOOT! I should race out and buy it... but alas, I must study. *yawn* I have to keep reminding myself: only two more tests and one assignment... then I'm HOME FREE!! For now, here's a random interview with Bedouin.... hahaha!! "I actually just shaved my rat beard..." Oh. My.
