Great set list.

The BOC cover sux ass though.

The show was insane!!! My first time seeing him too. Wow, he puts so much energy into his performances. He also went off about how Chicago is the murder capital of the nation with many expletives which shocked everyone in the crowd. He gave a moment of silence to Jennifer Hudson and family as well as a little campaigning for Obama. I would rather LupE.N.D. be separate albums than a triple album.

 

Lupe was great at Lollapalooza. Gotta love him.

Last night, I had more fun at the AC/DC concert at the Allstate Arena than I have had at any arena show in years, maybe ever. Way more than I ever expected.

 

I can't wait til this hits LA. Awesome?

My buddy and I sure thought so, but we'd been wanting to see them live forever. You can tell they take their music seriously, but not themselves. Lame as it may sound, I keep coming back to "fun" as the most operative word.

 

Check this out for a small taste.

Coheed & Cambria tonight \m/

I don't know if this has been mentioned before but I do think that Framing Hanley's version of Lollipop is heck of a lot easier to listen to.

Just got back from the free Lupe concert here. Amazing. He had so much energy and his band was awesome. Definitely worth standing out there for almost 5 hours.

 

On the other hand, Augustana sucked.

Eww.

I'm almost done learning In the Aeroplane Over the Sea on guitar in it's entirity. Holland 1945 is killing me though.

too fast?

Yea those chord changes come out of nowhere.

coupla long and forgotten ones that popped up on my ipod receently:

Junk Monkeys 'Five Star Fling' album... those guys kicked some ass!

David & David's 'Boomtown'... fine piece of of work... these 9 songs were all they ever put out, but David Baerwald had a good solo record a few years later... my cassette copy is long gone... got find it on CD...

 

Just getting in from seeing Lupe Fiasco @ the Congress. As usual, he didn't disappoint. IMO, it's crazy how much rap sounds with a live band.

 

The show was filmed for a DVD, so I can't wait to pick that up. He also announced that his last album will be a triple-disc...insane.

 

I didn't get to go to this show even though I live 2 blocks away from the Congress. His show at the Chicago theater with the Roots was dope.

Very disappointed to hear that the new Kanye album will be heavy with auto-tune effects. When will this lame fad die?

Kanye is lame all around. What's the surprise?

Really diggin' this new Q Tip album.

I was at that show as well, one of my favorite shows.

Eh, it may work...it may not. I'm gonna go ahead and call this the "experimental" album of his catalog.

Yes. Yes. Yes. IMO, it's album of the year material.

I wish the White Stripes would come back /sadface

I think Kanye will probably be my album of the year.

I love great surprises. The University Program Board sponsored a Blues Night. I figured what the hell, for free and I could use a little walk across campus. Amazing vocalist. I was really impressed. They only did about 1/2 blues, the rest was some straight up R&R and some Michael Jackson. I can not remember a voice so powerful and clear in what amounts to a bar band. They did mostly covers, but their covers from Yellow Ledbetter to Miss You were pretty damn good. Nice outdoor area near our library. Just a fun evening. I'll probably catch their full show at one of out better clubs this week.

Jimi Hendrix Experience's drummer Mitch Michell dies at the age of 61.

Have you ever stopped to notice how strange rock music is? I mean, it's such a part of our culture now that we hardly even notice. Our ears are so well trained for it, that we can pick out melody among all that noise. The next time you listen to it, pretend if you can, that you'd never been exposed to it before. It's really weird noise.
