Concert Review - Blink-182 Round 2
I’m going to preface this post by saying the city of Hartford, CT was on drugs when they designed their amphitheater. Anyone who thinks it’s a great idea to have patrons walk a mile to a concert clearly has no concept of enjoying one’s self after paying a decent amount of money for a concert ticket. Furthermore, we spent more time in traffic on our way to the concert than we...

“CANT BELIEVE THEY REPLACED BEASTIES WITH TENACIOUS...”
– Recent tweet from M.I.A., who is clearly unhappy with Tenacious D being that much higher on the A-List than she is. I haven’t heard anything from the D past E-603 sampling “Wonderboy” on Torn Up. Are they still a band?

"I Don't Remember"
So I went up to North Pomfret, Vermont a couple weekends back to check out a barn party (the 2nd Annual to be exact). At the “1st Annual,” I had found this killer place to pass out after a night of socializing with people I had never met. At some ungodly hour, I was awoken by a man in a kilt, who told me that my sleeping place was unacceptable. Thinking this man was William Wallace-and...

My Sex Is Not On Fire. It Never Will Be.

Their back story is clever: Two of them are brothers, the other two are their cousins. Dad’s a traveling evangelist whose lifestyle causes them to live out of their car. The bros rebel and dig rock...

Concert Review - Blink-182, Comcast Center, August...
“All the Small Things.” That’s what last night was about to me. The small things. Forget the fact that every band that played last night were my favorite bands in high school-I didn’t go there for them. I went to see the only band that is worthy of spending the night on the unforviging streets of Beantown for.
I honestly had no idea what to expect going into last night....

Passion Pit make debut Late Night Performance on...
Yet another Passion Pit update. This is their debut late night circuit performance from July 29th on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon. I really find the way their songs translate from album to live performance-how the two versions of the song are re-worked even the slightest-to be refreshing. As if to make things more interesting for the band instead of pressing buttins on a sampler or keyboard. I...

Dig the Vibe Brah
Here’s my Lady Cleo moment for the century: the traditional concert is a dying breed. In only a few years, I believe that they way people enjoy concerts will be changed from its current model. More and more festivals are being planned and executed every summer. Summer isn’t exactly a new season for concerts-this is when most of the country’s open-air venues, like...
