Song of the day (April 16th)

Fricken Love her!

"Get you off" by FeFe Dobson

Song of the day (April 15th)

I keep seeing this video every morning. So it's now in my head.

"Like you do" by Angel Taylor

Song of the day (April 14th)

"Savior" by Rise Against...listening to this would make you want to unleash wasp on unsuspected people.

Worth a listen...

Someone told me a few days ago that Hayley Williams from Paramore collaborated on a rap song. I wasn't going to give it a try until I realized that the rap song isn't like the typical ones that I usually hate. B.O.B. is a mix of Lupe Fiasco and Kid Cudi. The song is't bad, she's strays away from the rap part of the song, but her voice gives the song emotion.

10 songs that should be in your head...

Here are ten songs that should be on constant repeat in your head. I advise you to stock up on iTunes money.

1.) "Number Five with a Bullet" by Taking Back Sunday
2.) "Turn me off" by Audrye Sessions
3.) "Animal" by Mindless Self Indulgence
4.) "Everybody get dangerous" by Weezer
5.) "Skeptics and True Believers" by The Academy is...
6.) "Call it off" by Tegan and Sara
7.) "Well thought out twinkles" by Silversun Pickups
8.) "Shake it out" by Manchester Orchestra
9.) "All I wanted" by Paramore
10.) "Monsters" by Hurricane Bells

Tad bit disappointed...

I just have the realization that no more singles from Taking Back Sunday's latest album, New Again will be released due to their two members leaving the band to start other projects. I'm glad that John Nolan and Shaun Cooper have returned to the band, but I'm a little disappointed that New Again didn't get the full attention it deserved. I strongly think it was one of their best albums. For those who didn't get a chance to experience the awesomeness here's my favorite song off of the album, "Everything must go".

And here's the song being performed live:

Song of the day (April 13th)

The song for the day is "Vaporize" by Broken Bells. This band immediately grew on me. So give them a listen. 

Song of the day (April 12th)

"Perfect Situation" by Weezer. The song is from their Make Believe album, which is one of my favorites.

Song of the day (April 11)

Jimmy Eat World "Sweetness". I hummed this song all day yesterday for no reason.

What you should be listening to...

Automatic LoveLetter is a band that you should be listening to. If you're not, your musical taste needs to upgraded immediately.

Rilo Kiley "The Moneymaker"

Song of the day (April 9th)

The song of the day is "Nicest thing" by Kate Nash. This will be a everyday thing, I promise!

A long over-due concert review...

On. November 20th 2009 I went to the All-American Rejects with Taking Back Sunday and Anberlin concert  at the House of Blues. I forgot that I wrote something up for it, until now. 

Contrary to belief not everyone was watching the New Moon  movie Nov. 20; about 1,800 people piled into the House of Blues in Myrtle Beach to witness three amazing bands perform.

The All American Rejects, Taking Back Sunday and Anberlin drew in a mixed of crowd of teenagers, young adults, adults, and even some elderly.

Opening Act

Anberlin opened up the show with songs such as “A day late” and a cover of the 80’s song “True Faith” by New Order. They also performed, “Godspeed”, “Paperthin Hymn”, “A Whisper and a Clamor”, “Disappear”, and “The Unwinding cable car”.

 The band hails from Winter Haven, Fla., and formed in 2002. They finished up their set with, “Feel good drag” the first single off of their first major studio album, “New Surrender”. Only a handful of audience sang along, but by the end of their set it was evident that they had gained more fans.

Co-headliners

Taking Back Sunday conquered the stage next and exceeded all expectations, having seen them live at Projekt Revolution in 2007.

Taking Back Sunday’s new guitarist and back-up vocalist Matt Fazzi was the best surprise of the night by performing with a medical walking boot on his left foot the whole night.  He fractured his foot during a tour in Dublin, Ireland.

They opened up their set with songs such as “Cute without the ‘E’” and “A decade under the influence”.

Lead singer, Adam Lazzara took time to mention that he used to live in High Point, N.C.  Every time he said North Carolina he got cheers from some N.C. natives in the audience.

“I’m just gonna say that all night long,” Lazzara said.

At one point, Lazzara stood at the tip of the stage and announced that a girl only a mere few feet away had been on a cell phone for two songs.

“Honey, how can you hear anything, it’s so loud in here,” he said as he banged the microphone on the stage.  He also pointed out two girls in the front row who were texting during a song. 

The band performed songs from their latest album, “New Again”. The whole audience sung along to the single, “Sink into me”. A mosh pit was formed when they performed “Lonely, Lonely”

Lazzara, Fazzi and bass player Matt Rubano shared quirky comments with fans. Rubano insisted that “If you can’t swim, you fail at life.”

Headliners

The headliners of the tour, All American Rejects, rushed the stage with lights beaming in every direction and young girls screaming for life.

The All American rejects kicked-off with their most known song in the world, “Move along”.

Lead singer, Tyson Ritter seemed to be the pop idol of every 16 year olds dream with his attire of white jeans, wet hair and gold and blue with a hint of glitter body paint on his bare chest.

Their performance of “Dirty Little secret” even caused a commotion, when a young girl in the front row tried gripping a hold of Ritter as he sung his lungs out.

The left hand side of the audience was treated to guitar picks being thrown at them. Some tug of wars happened to catch one lone pick.

 The audience was elated when Ritter stood on the barricade for the acoustic version of the song, “Mona Lisa”
