For some reason, the idea of sitting down and writing a post was the last thing in the world I wanted to do
Which is strange, because I am bored out of my mind, and do absolutely nothing all day
This home is a creative vibe killer
a mind flow murderer
a sparkle mood squasher
Truthfully, I have dozens of things I could write about
Honestly, I don't really want to write about even one of them
I do have a lot of music news that I wouldn't mind sharing
1. Over Memorial Day weekend I attended Sasquatch Music Festival
It was fucking amazing
I can't even begin to describe to you the feelings I had while listening to my favorite bands, one after the other, under the blistering sun
Live, Raw, cheering crowds, flashy lights, pure music
It was amazing
Not only was I able to see the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, School of Seven Bells, Passion Pit and Fleet Foxes -- but I got to dance to beautiful M83.
Thinking back on this 3-day camping, crazy, sweaty weekend, I cant believe I didn't have a heart attack right there in The Gorge due to pure happiness
2. I just sat around for over 2 hours listening to a non-profit radio station, streamed over my computer... after hearing the news my one and only love, UHH, would be making an appearance
It was painful
The music played was... abstract, and not in a good way
I stared at a small in-studio webcam in hopes of a screenshot of the lovely ladies
But, It was totally worth it
Not only was I able to see their beautiful faces come out of their studio hibernation, but they played a DEMO!!
Yes, that is right. They played for us one of their DEMO songs, fresh from the studio, pulled straight from their car
and it was absolutely amazing, AMAZING
It was called Human Nature--- and even the rough cut was mesmerizing
I can't wait for the new album
AH! I love Uh Huh Her.
3. After some random researching on wikipedia etc.
I learned that one of my other favorite bands (before they were crazy famous I might add)
MGMT- Actually released an album way before Oracle Speculation
It was under their original name The Management---
and guess what... I found it!
At least I believe I found a few of their songs on Imeem
Its definitely a different sound, check it:
There are a bunch more...
I had a hard time just picking one..
If you are curious at what their original sound was like, you should check the others out
4. One more lovely thing that came out of Sasquatch was my new appreciation for St. Vincent
I heard a few tunes before,
Since she is on UHH's top 4 on myspace,
But I never appreciated it until the festival
She was incredible live
so now I like her
And I just found out that she played a show at the El Rey.. and they attended
Just my luck
The list of things I have missed since deciding to come home for summer is endless
which is why I wont list it here
But I got a puppy?!
That should make up for things right?
And I feel my creative spark coming back
Oh wait, I think thats just a muscle spasm from my workout today
Yeah, false alarm
xoxo
