b natural. c sharp.

So lately I’ve been listening to The Postal Service a lot. Greg sent me a song of theirs and asked if I wanted to go to the concert with him a few weeks ago. I though the mp3 was pretty cool and agreed to go. I’m always down to go to a show.

I wasn’t very impressed with the openers, but The Postal Service blew me away. I was surprised to see Jenny Lewis from Rilo Kiley walking around. Turns out she was on tour with the PS, she sings and plays guitar. KG played with Rilo Kiley back in the day so everytime they’ve been around we’ve gone to see them. Anyway, I really dug The Postal Service. It’s like mellow/upbeat music, with electronic beats. I guess you could call it electronic emo, if you want to bastardize is. (: The singer, Ben Gibbard (Death Cab for Cutie) voice rules, it’s so smooth and relaxing, and Jenny’s backup vocals really compliment it. Jimmy Tamborello basically plays a mac computer live and controls the electronic stuff. It’s pretty sweet, although you don’t see much of him or Jenny because they have a video type thing going on in the background the whole time which keeps them in the dark. One of the coolest things was when Ben put down his guitar and played live drums with the music. Rock.

I picked up the CD, even though it broke my rule of hearing the CD before I buy it, becuase I liked them that much. The CD is just a as great. All the songs are good, but I’d recommend checking out track 1, “The District Sleeps Alone” or track 4, “Nothing Better.”

A lovely comment:
“no one gives a fuck about your crappy dorm life, or your musical tastes, why don’t you keep a real personal journal, instead of some shitty public forum that self-indulgently basks in the mundane details of your stupid existence dorm boy, I found your website searching for stanley sepdowski. What is the deal with Blogs?!”

It amazes me how mean people can be for no reason. If I had it my way, my blog wouldn’t be so easily searched and he wouldn’t have even found me searching some random crap like Stanley Spedowski (I had an earlier entry with that in the title) but I can’t do anything about it. Blogs are pretty dumb, I agree, but nobody asked him to read it. I don’t use this for trash talking and I’m not harming anybody. It just makes me so mad when I don’t do ANYTHING and I get walked all over and treated like shit for no reason. People suck.

P.S. ~ If you want to be taken seriously, know what you’re talking about. I’m not a dorm BOY.

Woo hoo, my journal is back up. It figures, it always doesn’t work when I actually want to post. It’s been a good while since I’ve posted.. holy crap, not since March. haha.. well, not entirely too much has been going on.

I found out that all I really have to do to switch to bass is just basically do well at my juries. So it looks like I’ll definately be switching! I’m looking into taking lessons this summer, I just have to find a bass to use.. I’m definately going to get one of my own, but I’m not really trying to have to rent one in the meantime.
