wow, what a day..... thank god its over

well i had two midterms today, one in Audit and the other in Philosophy.

i was a bit nervous when i woke up, cause i didn't do any real studying for either test...

then... while i was running for the bus and while i was running to escape oncoming traffic my iPod nano dropped out of my pocket, i stopped on the double yellow lines.... but it was too late to go and save it, an oncoming Ford Explored went right over it, iPod and all, i run back after it gets run over to see if my baby was ok, and sure enough it was still playing the same song it was when it fell!!!! i was so happy, it only sustained some major dents but no scratches, so now i have a funky looking iPod nano... it truly is a great MP3 player..... Thank god for Apple


CMJ is here in less then 24 hours i cant wait!!!!

wow, i have no life.... but i LOVE music..... who doesn't

hey, remember back about 6 weeks ago the New Orleans Saints first home game in a bit over a year, yea yea, well two bands that i love got together and preformed a song together, it was U2 and Green Day and they played "The Saints Are Coming, which was originally done by the skids.


well i purchased both songs today, the Green Day & U2 version on Rhapsody and the Skids version on allofmp3.com. and i listened to both versions like 50 times, i don't know why, but i just like listening to it over and over again... its soo odd... i should be doing some pre-listening for the 5 concerts i will be attending this week, but i just keep getting this damn song in my head...

oh well i feel better now... needed to rant for a bit....

TV on The Radio

its been a very busy week, and i know i still have not posted any pic from the yonder show... but i promise i will over the weekend


but tonight i was able to kick back and go to a show, TV on The Radio @ Irving Plaza.
I got to Irving plaza at 8pm sharp, there was a line to get in, but doors were opened promptly at 8, and i took my spot front and center stage.

The Grizzly Bears opened at 9, i loved their sounds not too hard and most similar to radiohead, but not a copy just similar. i am gonna get their album.

TVOTR was great, they did a 90 minute set, and well i am gonna cut this one short, b/c i am so damn tired, all i am gonna say is that i am really happy i went to the show, it was both relaxing and enjoyable, and TVOTR fucking rocks!!!


anyway, i just got an email that Beck is playing an acoustic show down @ the Bowery this sunday!!! i might just go.... i cant wait....!

Yonder Mountain String Band

I just got back from the show, and wow am i happy i got the email about the show.

i first saw em as one of the opening acts for Dave Matthews @ Randall's Island, but tonight they headlined their own show, and it was a double set!!!! i got there at 7 and the place was empty, it didn't fill up till round 8 when they got on stage, i was able to stand front and center and had plenty of room, it remained that way for the whole show.

the first set was about an hour and it was amazing, then we all ran to watch the Mets kick ass in the playoffs till Yonder got back on stage for the second set, which lasted 90 minutes or so, they played all of their great songs in this set, not to put down the first set, but the second set just blew me away! the did two covers in this set, the first was the second or third song in, was "Dear Prudence" by the Beatles, and the next was the encore it was "Good Bye Blue Sky" by Pink Floyd. its cool to do a cover or two in middle of your set, but as an encore i think its extremely lame, i mean i like to leave the show with the artists music in my head, but i left this show with the music of Pink Floyd, not that its a bad thing, I just don't like it. All in all the show rocked.

i am not a fan of bluegrass, or maybe i am, I love there music some of there songs rock hard, and some of em are as mellow as some of Elliot Smith's material. i wold defiantly see em again, even if they are not headlining.

now i found out something very disturbing in middle of the sets, this October 31st, the greatest day of the year after Christmas, i have tickets to see Birdmonster, and i have seen em twice already this year, but they rock and i love the band, but i was told that Medeski, Martin & Wood are playing Hammerstein Ballroom the same night, so now i have to decide which show to go to.... its a tough choice.....

After the show i headed uptown to meet some DJ who bought my extra Killer's Tickets, then i went home....

as always i will post pics when i get a chance...

This month is gonna rock CMJ is in 3 weeks and i cant wait, a whole 6 days in a row of great music in NYC, and i will be there for most of it...

so far i got tix to
Birdmonster/ Irving - 10/31 - Piano's
Tape 'n Tapes / Cold War Kids - 11/1 - Bowery Ballroom
Alice in Chains - 11/2 - Nokia Theatre

and during the day there are free shows throughout the city that i will be hopping around at... wow i am like a kid in a candy shop, i am so damn excited....

went to some party later in the evening, it was called for 9PM which was way to early for a party, i showed at ten drank a little, met a few peeps, kinda fun, but i didnt drink enough, oh well fun nonetheless....

today great news came in, one I am Going to see Tool tomorrow in CT a friend of myne cant go, so I am really looking forward to it.

then i logged on to the web, went on to Birdmonster's myspace page, and sure enough they are coming back to NYC and well I have seen them twice in the last 6 months but they are so damn good, and even better live!!!! so messaged them online, and they say they will be showcasing some new material, so I am really looking forward to seeing both Tool and Bridmonster, and wow never thought that I’d say those two bands in the same sentence... but they are both damn fine bands.


that’s all till after the show....
