City and Colour

Dallas Green put on a great show Saturday Night. For some reason his music just hits me right to the core. Maybe I'm just bummed about my physical health, getting old, never figuring out life ect. But pretty much all of his set hit the spot with me. The whole night was almost perfect. I picked up a friend of mine who unfortunately is even more bummed out (a friend of her's thinks that she's possessed, but I'm going into any religious debate.) The CNE, Molson Canadian Amphitheatre, the hotel indigo, lunch at Mr. Greek.

I've come to the realization that over the last year I just hate a lot of things about my living situation and you could even expand it to the area in general. Right now I don't know what I'm going to do or even how my quality of life is going to be. All I know is I just want to have fun now and forget about tomorrow.

Concert Roadtrip Vlog

I was sorting out all of the vids that I never posted on iMovie/iPhoto and stitched this one together. This is from March when I went to see Silversun Pickups and Muse at the Palace of Auburn Hills. So this is an idea of what going to Michigan was like for me to see a concert last week. I decided to post it since it doesn't seem half bad for a vlog, although I had to cut it down to get under 10 minutes.

Smashing Pumpkins

I never saw Billy Corgan "back in the day," So when I had an opportunity to grab pre-sales for a week where I already had off I grabbed them. I'm totally glad that I did as it totally worked out even with having a pretty existential week and all. I was lucky enough to get a hotel through hotwire right across the street from the venue.

The building itself was a pretty interesting venue to say the least. My mind just races as to what it was previously, I just have to guess that it was a one or two plex movie theater at one point in time. Anyway the people in Grand Rapids are just really friendly and cool. This guy and his friends took me into their group and midway through the took me upstairs which was pretty sweet.

Anyway here is the setlist

which totally worked and rocked as his new band sounds pretty good.

Here are a few pics

Crowd Shot!

I want to be a professional Photog like this woman!

I did get to hang with the opener Kill Hannah before they walked next door to the stripclub.

Mistaken for Strangers

OK, this is the last of the full songs. It only took me a week to upload everything. Then again you know how I am, slowly upload the moment to stretch it out longer. At least no one thought that I was in that parking lot for the whole week like everyone thought I was in FLA ever weekend. (although knowing that we know now I should have done that as the place may be ruined by the benzene hurricane coming next week :-(

BloodBuzz Ohio

The National Bloodbuzz Ohio, the first single off of High Violet. This song is like a worm in your head when you first hear it.

I hope everyone is not sick of me posting from The National's show from Rockin' the Knox?

This is one of my favorite moments of the show.

The Song of my Life

The National - I'm afraid of everyone.
Basically I don't have the drugs to sort it out...

I think I have a couple more to post from the Knox.

Fake Empire

The National "Fake Empire" off of Boxer.
Rockin' at the Knox 2010

The first song that I ever saw live by The National, as well as the first full song that I ever watched from my seat at the Molson Canadian Amphitheatre.
