i’ve been busy.
oops, forgot to set this to “published”
sorry i’ve been silent as of late. i’m kinda busy what with the xbox 360 going on sale in 26 days.
i was gonna just go to bed, but my ears are ringing to the point where sleeping is a bit difficult, so i thought i’d say hello.
i just went to the Foo Fighters / Weezer concert. First off, when a concert ticket says 7:30, that isn’t when the show should start, that’s when the doors should open. Though i didn’t really care, the guys I went with were annoyed that they missed Hot Hot Heat beacuse we got there at 8:00 since we had seats and didn’t think we had to show up when the doors opened, which we thought was 7:30.
Weezer was good, i liked them more than i thought i would. mark alex and eli were there to see Weezer. I’ve always liked the songs they get on the radio, but the ones I didn’t know were still enjoyable. Even though Weezer is basically geeky pop, the do know how to rock out, which i was pleased with. For the encore, Rivers walked out to the far end of the floor (it was at the Key Arena, basketball) to a small stage set up and played Island in the Sun, which was neat. After that, they picked a guy out of the crowd who played Undone-The Sweater Song with them, which made his day. probably the coolest thing to happen to him all year.
The Foo Fighters were who I went to see, and they were really good. loud guitar heavy rock, the way i like it. despite owning only one foo fighter’s album, the new one i knew most all the songs they played except 2. dave grohl likes to scream really loud too. i think he scared off two of the indie rock loving people i came with, mark and eli left around 10:40. alex headed out at 11:00 cause it was getting late and he had to sleep, which may have been smart on his part since the show didn’t end until 11:45. it was a good time all in all, i’d see either band again. kind of a strange mix of music, geek rock with loud guitar rock, but i had fun.
got a few more concerts coming up - this saturday i’m going to freak night 9 at quest field, a big electronic music thing, paul oakenfold and the crystal method are going to be playing or DJing or whatever. Anna’s dragging me to they might be giants in a few weeks, who i’m pretty sure i won’t love. i’ve got citizen cope next friday which will be really good, he was excellent at Bumbershoot. and liz phair sometime in mid november, i think.
well, the ringing is beginning to subside, i guess i’ll try to sleep through it. i need to get rest anyway, i’ll probably be at work until 11:00 pm tomorrow night. damn you people who want things to “work correctly” and “not crash.”
