Hey visitor from Starbucks!

Do I know you?

I think it's only fair to ask, since you visit every day..

Introduce yourself!

War Sucks, Let's Party!

A good time was had at the show last night. I was rather surprised to see a smaller crowd than some shows I've been to at the Showbox. It was nice though as I didn't have to fight my way through a bunch of rowdy kids to get to the bathroom. Alexisonfire and Anti Flag were great. Big D was like a throwback to the '96 ska scene and in all honesty they were a bit boring for my liking. I'm super tired today though. I'm too old to be going out on a school night!

She was into the Stones when I was into the Roses

Speaking of the The Fratellis, I just bought tickets to see them opening for Black Rebel Motorcycle Club at the Showbox in May.

I've never really listened to BRMC, but I understand they have a new album coming out May 1st, so I suppose I should check it out. Worst case though, we show up for the Fratellis and then leave right after (which is something we've been known to do). Either way it should be fun as the show is 21+, we haven't been to many of those recently and usually the crowd is a bit more relaxed than when it's an all ages show.

Are You Nervous?

Awhile ago I was feeling in a slump when it came to new music. Nothing much was catching my eye, or ear as the case may be. I'd been listening to the same stuff over and over, and while it's good, it can get a bit old if nothing new comes along to spice things up.

I recently discovered Rock Kills Kid who most definitely manage to add a little something to my playlist. They're like a mix of U2, (a more energetic) The Cure, The Killers and a little bit of Death Cab thrown in. They're angst-y and synth-y and very catchy. We put them on a mixed CD that we listen to in the car and before I knew it I was singing along to all their songs. Apparently they've toured She Wants Revenge which make sense, though I do think that Rock Kills Kid is much better. Their songs are oddly familiar and I think that's part of why I like them so. I'm hoping that they do some touring this year and they make their way up to Seattle.

Other bands (some old, some new) I've been listening to a lot lately:

The Fratellis
Alexisonfire (who we will be seeing with Anti Flag next week)
OK Go
The Raconteurs
Alkaline Trio
Hot Hot Heat
Maximo Park

I can't believe

I just tried to cut & paste (highlight/ctrl-c/ctrl-v) something I had written with a pen on paper.

Little San Francisco Update

We had an amazing time in San Francisco. I have to say that it is by far one of my favorite cities in this country and I can't wait to go back. We managed to do a lot when we were there, saw pretty much all the sights and walked a lot. Next time we'll probably take it a bit slower and not bother with all the touristy stuff, since we've got that out of the way. The city is very easy to get around, especially without a car. We bought ourselves a 3 day MUNI pass and were able to go everywhere we wanted to with no problem. Not to mention we got really lucky and the weather was sunny, warm and beautiful the entire time we were there.

Photos can be found here and here.
