Concerts

I always enjoy going to live shows and it seems the planets all aligned for the past month as I went to four of them, held at various venues across town:

• David Usher: Club gig at the Whiskey. Played a lot of stuff from his upcoming album, so the crowd wasn't able to get into it and he never played anything from his old band, Moist. Did somehow insert the chorus from the Bloodhound Gang's Bad Touch as he sang his latest single, Love Will Save the Day.
• The Killlers: With only one album in tow, they played a few new tunes, which hopefully they'll put on their next record. Cool to see them on SNL and then in person a few weeks later! I even recognized the redecorated synthizer. Drummer was cool, which got me thinking about picking this up as a hobby. Cause it's all about being cool, right? :-p
  
• Snow Patrol: Finally caught a show at the new Mac Hall Ballroom on campus. This guys did not disappoint. Sounded great live, got a new fav concert tshirt, and a good crowd too.
  
• Green Day: They do put on a great show, I still remember the last time I saw them @ Edgefest. Both times, we got up pretty close into the mosh pit which got pretty crazy. They even picked people from the crowd to play all the band's part. The guitarist got to keep the guitar and the drummer got to stage dive. He went feet first (insane?!?) and landed right in front of me. Security was a mess which cause us to miss the first few tunes.
  

So I'm all done for shows for now. Missed out on the Rolling Stones tickets. For $350, I should have bough t a pair just so I can scalp them. Could have paid for the next batch of concerts...

PS. Sorry it took so long... Took awhile to get the pics off my mobile phone. Got tons of things I need to blog about, so hopefully I can get them off my chest soon. Later, O.
