let the blogs begin!

welcome to our blog.

we don't have much to report right now, but here's an update of the latest shows we've been to.

wednesday - justin timberlake at MSG. while i am kinda embarrassed about liking him, he is an amazing artist! sings in tune, plays his own instruments and dances like whoa! (in my best joey lawrence voice) AND...he sang dick in a box. i was a happy camper.

friday - i made the mistake of checking out boys like girls and cobra starship, they opened for cartel at nokia theatre times square. i don't really enjoy that genre of music. plus, i was the oldest person there.

saturday - plug awards at irving plaza. it was CRAZY. it was STUPID. it was HILARIOUS. my love for david cross will overcome all the shitty skits and contrived dialouge that comprised a good portion of this show. silversun pickups and stephen malkmus gave some solid performances. BUT...to whoever was operating the soundboard: SHAME ON YOU. the balance and mix were awful. highlight of the night: david cross interviewing stephen malkmus. i was pissing my pants.

and the evening confirmed that i am NOT a deerhoof fan. i know i should not distribute the hateraide since the lead vocalist is a fellow asian, but damn...i just DO NOT like their sound. and El-P was terrible! i don't understand why they are a buzz band. WTF. maybe they were having an off night.

you are so very cool. I think J-Tim is one of the few artists I would go to an arena show for.

Yeah, I'm only somewhat familiar with Boys Like Girls, Cobra Starship and Cartel but my impression is they have pretty young (read: teenage) fanbases. Actually, so does Gym Class Heroes (who has a 5:30 show? Seriously?) but I still wish I had tickets to their Web Hall show on Thursday.
