Haven been posting too much as of late, why?  Cuz for the past week Ie been severely mother fng hungover like a biznitch mom and a half?gawd?brain works at 80% capacity @ max?but because I either doing nothing or close to it say I run the neurons at 2% workload?really, a painful experience but oh so joyful as I look back in retrospect....

 

last night:

 

It seems as though all shows I attend may be portrayed as this riveting and mesmerizing event. It is.  I let it be.  Live shows are just flat out awesome.  Redundant of previous post-concert blogs, my urge to write of being inspired has become instinctual.  But this blog has succumbed past the post-concert 12-hour window, allowing the impulse to be cornered and ridiculed.  What is it about me posting of musical inspiration?  Being in awe of people on stage performing ood?songs?  And to repeatedly feel moved after these ticketmaster events? 

 

Honestly, I give myself 2 thumbs down.  What a Lame-O.  To be inspired is to actually do something about that aspect of oneself.  Il go home and toy around with the geetar only to pass out and post about it the next day like Ie really taken leaps forward.  The songwriting has gone nowhere, in fact the musical output has dwindled to usage only for shits and giggles (la bamba was the most recent song I played).  Instead of pushing for deeper personal meaning at shows, Il just stick with face value commentary.

 

Tshirt Mania ?I am the tshirt man.  Sometime last year, I had an epiphany about buying tshirts at concerts.  A MUST DO.  Buying the t-shirt before the show starts is the way to go, avoiding the crowd at the endlthough, if it a band that you haven heard live yet and they suckhen u won feel so hot about buying the t-shirt after the show?ex. Saves the Day.  Needless to say, last night I bought my tshirt before the show and the show rocked.

 

Glen Phillips ?lead singer of toad ?put on a great opening act. One man with a guitar, a voice like Garth Brooks, and his songs tell stories like Granddaddy, songs sound like ?ugh can think of any comparison.   Windmills, drive by?GO DOWNLOAD!  When these grungy fella are on stage I just thinking what it be like to be a 24 hour musician, being able to churn out tunes at every instancees I jealous.

 

Five for Fighting ?always a reason the main act is the main act.  A good opening act, but an awesome headliner.  The lead singer, john somethingis talent is so enviously evident as soon as he lets that first line out.  He got this voice that just resonates through the whole room.  Kind of like when he opens his mouthomething from within his body just lets this glow of light out of his mouth radiating the hall?not only that, he sings-plays guitar-piano completely effortlessly.  Timberlake falsetta got nothing on him.   If only Irving had a grand piano...the acoustics would have been awesome...he played superman alone...toite.  I definitely go see him again. (clara ?he talks between songs, ALL YOU)

 

**I can get 2 songs out of my head**

1)

Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit lonely and you're never coming round
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by
Turnaround, Every now and then I get a little bit terrified and then I see Foookin' the look in your eyes
Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart
Turnaround bright eyes, Every now and then I fall apart

And I Foookin'need you now tonight
...I Foookin' need you more than ever!!
