yes

Went to go see Matt and Kim and Passion Pitt at the Rochester Armory last night. I really love Matt and Kim. Seeing them play live was amazing. They are so dedicated to their performance.

As with every trip to Rochester, we ate at Dinosaur BBQ


But first, the Will Call line was insane. It was like an hour long and wrapped around the block.


Luckily we had paper tickets and the line was like 15 people long. Makes me wonder about Will Call in the future.


We stood around waiting for a bit after we got there. The crowd was massive.




There was a lot of crowd surfing during both shows. The best part of all was when Kim walked out onto the hands of the crowd and then danced on top of the crowd.



My video from their concert of the song "Now"


An their professional video


The rest of the pics are from Passion Pitt. The light set was good but I didn't get into the music as much.

I am so obsessed with this song and I really have no idea why. I think the beginning reminds me of a new order song I like. I added the ability to embed spotify songs in estrip blogs. Just right click on any song in spotify, choose "copy spotify URI" then just paste it anywhere in your blog. It looks like

They have needed this for so long. There was nothing more annoying than going the square or the harbor and not being able to get around row after row of lawn chair when you wanted to see the music. It still works out for the chair people at the harbor because there is plenty of room for chairs on the middle lawn.

Went to go so Poliça in Rochester last night. The band was pretty awesome. I just wish the show was in buffalo instead.

I wish so bad that Toronto was just part of the United States. Its the perfect distance for a big city to be away from me but the border, etc makes it such a pain in the ass.

Tonight Loadstar is playing at a new club in the guvernment complex called chroma. I would gladly pay $20 to go if it was here. Check out the club.

This enlightening musical commentary on the Spanish people may explain issues with their economy.

Its not that I don't love it but how can this be considered new music

I love the song. It's witty, playful and full of vengeance. Really there is so no better combination to me.

"The Mariner's Revenge Song"

We are two mariners
Our ship's sole survivors
In this belly of a whale
It's ribs are ceiling beams
It's guts are carpeting
I guess we have some time to kill

You may not remember me
I was a child of three
And you, a lad of eighteen
But, I remember you
And I will relate to you
How our histories interweave
At the time you were
A rake and a roustabout
Spending all your money
On the whores and hounds
(oh, oh)

You had a charming air
All cheap and debonair
My widowed mother found so sweet
And so she took you in
Her sheets still warm with him
Now filled with filth and foul disease
As time wore on you proved
A debt-ridden drunken mess
Leaving my mother
A poor consumptive wretch
(oh, oh)

And then you disappeared
Your gambling arrears
The only thing you left behind
And then the magistrate
Reclaimed our small estate
And my poor mother lost her mind
Then, one day in spring
My dear sweet mother died
But, before she did
I took her hand as she, dying, cried:
(oh, oh)

"Find him, Bind him
Tie him to a pole and break
His fingers to splinters
Drag him to a hole until he
Wakes up naked
Clawing at the ceiling
Of his grave"

It took me fifteen years
To swallow all my tears
Among the urchins in the street
Until a priory
Took pity and hired me
To keep their vestry nice and neat
But, never once in the employ
Of these holy men
Did I ever, once turn my mind
From the thought of revenge
(oh, oh)

One night I overheard
The prior exchanging words
With a penitent whaler from the sea
The captain of his ship
Who matched you toe to tip
Was known for wanton cruelty
The following day
I shipped to sea
With a privateer
And in the whistle
Of the wind
I could almost hear
(oh, oh)

"Find him, Bind him
Tie him to a pole and break
His fingers to splinters
Drag him to a hole until he
Wakes up naked
Clawing at the ceiling
Of his grave

There is one thing I must say to you
As you sail across the sea
Always, your mother will watch over you
As you avenge this wicked deed"

And then, that fateful night
We had you in our sight
After twenty months at sea
Your starboard flank abeam
I was getting my muskets clean
When came this rumbling from beneath
The ocean shook
The sky went black
And the captain quailed
And before us grew
The angry jaws
Of a giant whale

(oh..)

Don't know how I survived
The crew all was chewed alive
I must have slipped between his teeth
But, oh, what providence
What divine intelligence
That you should survive
As well as me
It gives my heart great joy
To see your eyes fill with fear
So lean in close
And I will whisper
The last words you'll hear
(oh, oh)

I swear whenever I tell this story I feel like people think I am exaggerating but at Destiny 10 in 1995 - the start of Destiny's 3-day music festivals there was a tornado. We were in our tent and it lifted up and flew into a van nearby. It was full on scary.

July 14, 15, 16 - 1995 - First Annual World Trance Festival

Now referred to as "The Tornado Rave", the first Destiny 3 day event was held at Mosport Racetrack and was tested with a small Tornado on the Friday night that brought down the soundsystems and literately sent ravers flying.
The sound was put back together to form one stage and the party continued the rest of the weekend. !

I stole there ticket image from the toronto jungle site.


Wow, times have changed what cost $45 then cost $175 now. granted the talent is bigger and the setup is much more elaborate.
