even though we didn't get floor tickets during pre-sale (no thanks to a certain reza mir), seeing daft punk in a larger venue (than i would normally like to go to) such as the l.a. sports arena and on the 2nd level, no less, was all right, just right. it was the most impressive light, sound, and dance performance i think i will ever see for the ( Read more... )

two nights ago i had my third dream in the past year involving hot chip. they were all set up on a grassy knoll and playing live for no one really, and i requested "down with prince" b/c i never saw them perform the song live in person, and it ended up sounding nothing like the original (in my dream ( Read more... )

i just found out that the killers have been performing a joy division cover of "shadowplay" while on tour, as well as recording it for the ian curtis biopic! i thought those two didn't go together (i don't like the killers very much), but the cover isn't too bad...

i just saw a cingular commercial using a 10 year old big beat song i.e. dub pistols "best got better" on abc (the only channel i get my tv). you feel me? what is going on here...

my livejournal is basically really dead. it's pointless, but i probably won't delete it. you guys should go to my real legit blog @ http://dancefloorheartattack.blogspot.com all the time, everytime ( Read more... )
