Guys, allow me to tell you about the AMAZEBALLS concert I went to last night. See, Hey Rosetta! are a St. John's band I heard for the first time when I got my hands on the long list for the 2009 Polaris Music Prize, and their second album Into Your Lungs was up for consideration. It was love. They just put out a new album, Seeds, that I bought the ( Read more... )

Heeeee, just saw the episode courtesy of the magic of downloading, and MAN. Hilarious. I also like that we saw so much of Jared's life, and nothing of Jensen's. Privacy issues work on a meta level, too :-)

Glad you had a good time at the concert! I'm all about the Arcade Fire right now, but Hey Rosetta! is also of the awesome. I approve!

Nos, it was REDONKULOUS. I couldn't even watch it uninterrupted but hiding I was so hilartized. And I noted the lack of ~Jensen as well, beyond the fake trailer stuff. Iiiiinteresting.

Yay, Arcade Fire! They are the band of my undergrad, haha.

OMG, YAY, MUSICS. that concert sounds WONDERFUL, and i am ALL about alt rock with strings. the last local show i saw, the band also had a full string section on stage with them. \o/ *tabs hey rosetta for laters*

SPN: WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK IS EVEN HAAAAAAAAAPPENING ON THAT SHOW.

Muuuuuusics! Z, I need to go to more concerts! It is fun. Sadly it seems that all my groups give City In Which I Live a miss in favour of Toronto, which can make weekday concerts hard. OH WELL. *dances*

A thing I especially like about Hey Rosetta! is their constant instrument shuffle -- their cellist (Romesh) goes from cello to guitar to piano to random percussion back to cello at a ridic rate. I like music with lots of stuff in it: see also BSS, with a horn section. \trumpets/

AND I HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT SPN. THE META HAS META AND THEN MY BRAIN BREAKS AND FREAKING MISHA DOES NOT HELP.

P.S. They are doing at show in Seattle on the 9th, at a place called Chop Suey. You should go. :D
