Oh, how it clings to me

I have been unable to stop listening to Passion Pit for the last few weeks.
After getting their new album, Manners, it has been in rotation an embarrassing large number of times.

Tonight they played at the National, a place i'd never been to, but was kinda impressed with. Slanted floors= shorties bein' able to see! Once Passion Pit was preparing for their set, a few of us went to the center of it all to claim a good dancing spot.

Passion Pit was able to translate their energy fairly well through their live performance, I mean, I never stopped dancing, which is a rare sight. I'd like to thank my dance partners: Deepa, Bernie, Annam, and Jon! :)

Such a great experience, I am ecstatic.




P.S. Happy Birthday to Rob! :)

The Verdict:

One of the best shows I've been to; except they didn't play nearly long enough. Boo.

Bagel Czar is dumb for not having bands play on the STAGE.

It's always interesting to me to go to different genera shows, it makes this town feel bigger than it is.

Going alone was actually really awesome. I realize that, having lived here for close to 4 years, there is bound to be someone I know there. Which, is a pretty awesome realization in itself.

In other news:

Cannabis Corpse is ridiculous, in a good way

I feel like I can conquer the world.

ANNIHILATE!!!

I have been waiting to see Annihilation Time since before No Way Fest '08 (stupid work). My fist impression of them made me imagine driving around in a beat-up El Camino in the middle of Summer in some forgotten suburb. They are the ultimate cruising music, there is no denying that. Granted, they are completely opposite of my straight edge morals, but I can't help loving them.

I am also planning on going to the show alone. I'm wanting to test out how comfortable I am in my own skin. A lot of things have changed in the past year-

Lets see how far they can go.

Around You

I had forgotten how awesome River City Rebels are live.
Fun fun night all around.

It's 3am and I have to get up at 8 to pack and hit the road for D.C.
I am so ready for a dose of family, and good food.

It's been so long since i've gotten the chance to just get in the car and drive. I am looking forward to an hour and 45 minute adventure full of my sick driving play list, scenery, and a sleeping kitty (hopefully!).

Have a Happy Turkey/ Tofurky Day!


love.

Turn it Up!

A large portion of my free time is spent blaring music and jumping around my apartment. I suppose I've hit one of those points where music effects you a little more than it used to.

River City Rebels tonight!



This will be the first show that I have attended by my lonesome.
We shall see how it goes!

"Let's dance, let's fuck tonight."


Edit: I ended up having a partner in crime to go to the show with. Yay new friends.
