White Elephant

SCOFFLAW has released their EP "White Elephant", and...its stunning. For me its a bit unbelievable. I'm late with this blog, because I didn't think that I could make words from what's in my head, and whats in my head is pure respect for these guys.
I dont know how they do it, honestly, but I hope they keep it up for a while.

I can't really disect their EP at the moment, because all of their new songs are remastered and perfect, so I'll do that another time. For now I'll tell a personal anectdote (boring right? I know i apoligize). In middle school my friends and I went to Johnny's Pizza and hung out and acted like the wild preteens we were, and every now and then I'll mention how much I miss Johnny's Pizza. It was THE spot...and my music library in my head  wasn't as broad as it is now. Back then i was going through a Rastafarian stage or something,  and my career goals were a psychologist or dancer with no intention of even going close to music unless it dealt with dance. But SCOFFLAW's music reminds me of Johnny's Pizza...

 I can't remember any specific types of music the restaurant played or artist they played, but I know they played some rock hits, because my buddy Irene was ALWAYS singing along, and out of all of my friends I think she was the person with the most music influence .

All of that being said, it sucks because I can't compare SCOFFLAW to any great rock artists that I heard at Johnny's, I can only say that their EP "White Elephant" takes me back. Back to Johnny's Pizza. Back middle school. Back to when I thought I was so cool.

Thank you SCOFFLAW.

One Direction #WWAATLANTA

It's been a while friends!
Sorry.  My friend Tori said I was suffering from PCD (Post Concert Depression), and she was probably right because I was in some awful weird funky move for the last month.

But on to WWAAtlanta. It was amazing.
We should have known it was going to be deafening,  though. I'm not even going to lie. I. Was not. Prepared. Girls were screaming because the doors were opened. It was scary. A lot of people think that One Direction is a joke and they don't have "legit" music, and maybe you can argue that statement, BUT their fans are NO JOKE. I had a short moment when I was REALLY obsessed with Liam and Zayn and Harry. Those 30 weeks were when I purchased my tickets. ...and then shortly after the flames burned out. All of the boys are still fine as wine, but they just died out.

 It was ecstatic. 5sos did well, they performed amnesia  great, I wish they would have performed don't stop, but its okay.  It was actually really inspiring, like they are real...they really did it.

 

And don't even pretend like sometimes you forget that celebrities are real, okay? They are like myths, all ways being told and spread about, but never seen.

 

So to see that they ARE REAL and they could get that many fans to support them within four (?) years is inspiring. It makes me want to pursue my dreams of becoming a music publisher and scorer.

 

My favourite part was...all of it, I loved it all. It was a shitting good time. Thank you, you five wankers.

 

(I know the vide is sideways MY BAD, it was intense!!)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

SKATER-AID 10

IT WAS DA BOMB.


It really was lovely though you all. There was music, skating (of course), art it was amazinnng!
 But since this is music blog I guess I'll speak on the music.

I wasn't really paying much attention to anybody else but SCOFFLAW, but Missing Cat's drummer was killing it.

ANYWAY:
Back to SCOFFLAW.
My favourite was Gibson on the bass, but I just really like the bass guitar. Reid and Luke's playing off each other and keeping up with one another was perfect, Cole's drumming had me shocked, I've never met the guy, but now I want to, and Aidan with his stellar performance, and his signature half-nakedness when the song "West Coast" was being performed, is very unique and of course (rolls eyes) had some girls tripping off their asses, but that is probably good for business.


The entire event was a blast, and of course the music just made it that much better.

OUTKAST #ATLast

I will be completely honest. I threw a complete tantrum when I found out that Outkast was coming home. By the time I found out that they were going to be here , I had no money, and I wasn't getting money any time soon.


THEN...

On Friday I learned that Janelle Monae would be performing as one of the openings for them. I 'm still extremely upset. I just can't.

This fall was supposed to be my concert season, and I missed EVERYTHING. I missed Julian Casablancas, I missed music midtown, Little Mix cancelled their American tour, and NOWWWWWWW I've missed Outkast....IT IS OUTFRICKINGKAST!! AND Janelle Monae was there. She is my favourite artist at the moment, and I missed it.

*sigh*

Whatever man. Tomorrow I'll be attending skater-aid to work and support some of my associates band, so that should be fun. They are pretty good from the videos I've watched. I'll be sure to post about it

And on Wednesday a friend and I are supposed to be heading to the one direction concert. So I'll post on that.


And I'm supposed to be meeting with blue room recording studios, as well as marigold and monsters recording studio sometime this week (probably Monday or Tuesday.) I ill also post on that.

The Skater-Aid post should be out be Monday evening...

The studio posts by the end of next week

And One Direction should be posted by Thursday Morning or evening.

And my review of SCOFFLAW (my friends' band) will be on a different blog, but I'll probably post a link from my fav song of theirs that they performed on the Skater-Aid post (if it's on soundcloud.)

Alright then. Bye. Still upset, but I got off a little steam here, I guess. Til next time my musicies......(like foodies..? no? Kay.)

"FERST THINGS FERST IM DA REELIST." (Introductions)

Hi. I just want to let you know what will be up on this blog, and any others you may come across from me.

In this blog I will be giving my opinion on different types of music, different music conflict, stereotypes and etc.

Soon I will have a blog dedicated only to sharing links to different songs, so that who ever wants may listen.

And eventually a third blog will go up about my personal music struggles and how people generalize me, and what not.

But that's all for intros about my blogs. Email me, if any questions.
