10:57 pm. good evening. I know this cd came out over a month ago, but I recently found out about it which saddens me, because if I had known sooner I would have downloaded it.
The Rocket Summer: Of Men and Angels
The Rocket Summer brings back so many memories. I'm feeling a tad nostalgic. being my favorite band all through out high school, I recently drifted from Bryce's soothing voice and into a number of different genres. hearing about this cd not only made me wonder, where the hell has he been since 2007, but if the music has changed at all. the lyrics are still inspirational and beautiful as always, his voice seems more mature and smooth. he doesn't hit too many high raspy notes (screams) like he used too, he's mellowed out. the songs still make me want to dance and are just fun in general. he hasn't lost it. buy this cd, if you haven't already! it's on repeat.
LAST NIGHT: I saw Miike Snow at Webster Hall. my expectations were high, as usual for shows, and they met them. I went to the show with my boyfriend and a suite mate. yesterday was unusually cold for spring time and we didn't know if there was a coat check, so we decided to venture out with only light cardigans on. needless to say we were getting menacing looks and the chills. when we got there we found out that not only was miike snow playing, BUT IT WAS ALSO THE 80'S PROM! glorious.
Delorean

this innocent looking band, Delorean, rocked the stage for a good half hour before hand. they reminded me of passion pit. the keyboardist was going nuts and impressed me with his awesome two step and fancy footwork. I was convinced that the lead singer of Miike Snow, Andrew Wyatt, was walking around before the show even started, checking on minor technical things. BUT after the show I not only saw who I thought was Andrew, but the REAL Andrew standing beside him. TWINZ? IMPOSTOR? I was dooped and confused. why would you hire someone who looked just like your lead singer? to throw off the fans? obvs. they stormed the stage with white masks and had an intense light show that could have given someone a seizure. standing on the balcony, I was able to see everything, including people lighting up joints and moshing. they were amazing and played a new diddy not on their original cd. so good :) I loved how they added crazy musical interludes in between songs and extended the songs by five minutes. although I was surprised they didn't play Animal for their encore, they didn't disappoint
kbye.
