Moved.

What the fuck is this?

Moving On...

This past weekend I moved. My back hurts and I have a ton of bruises. I can't lift heavy things because I am super weak. But now my bedroom is all set up and I'm able to relax. I just have to put stuff on my walls because its pretty boring in there. I'm hoping to have Internet this weekend. I hope it happens.
I also started school yesterday. This semester is going to be tough. My English Lit class looks like a lot of fun but loads of work. But we get to read Hamlet, I rule at Shakespeare. Bio seems easy but I have to do a lot of reading. Kind of feels like high school all over again. I can't wait to transfer.

Fold the corners, break the silence

On July 19th I was lucky enough to catch Finch at The Glass House in Pomona, CA. I've been a fan for a long time and was bummed when I heard they broke up. So now that they have reunited, I knew I had to seem them live!
So The Glass House is kind of a dinky club. It's in downtown Pomona and from the outside it doesn't look like much. It's the same inside. The place was swarming with scene kids. I missed the first band, Tickle Me Pink, but from what I have heard, I didn't miss much. I walked in during Foxy Shazam's set. They're perform ace with full of energy and it was quite a spectacle to watch. But their music made me want to leave. My boyfriend isn't a fan of indie or whatever they are. He also isn't a fan of the Dresden Dolls. He described Foxy Shazam as a gay version of the Dresden Dolls. They seemed to have a few fans but the crowd didn't know what to make of them, neither did I.
I was almost jumping for joy when their set ended. It should've come sooner. But little did I know, Scary Kids Scaring Kids wasn't going to be much better. The only song I have heard from them is a cover song off of Punk Goes Crunk. The band itself wasn't that bad but the lead singer and the synth player killed it. The lead singer sounded and looked like a douche. He was trying too hard to be Davey Havok, and since AFI has gone mainstream, no one likes Davey Havok. And the guy on the synths, oh my! He looked like a Coheed and Cambria reject and was jumping around like he was the singer. Just shut up already. There were two stage divers during SKSK's set. One jumped off from the center of the stage only to get heckled by security. And the other was less successful. He dived from the right corner of the stage (where I was at). He dove, and no one caught him. He landed on his hip as laughed at. In my opinion, he deserved it. People who stage dive/crowd surf deserve to be kicked. It was great how everyone moved away!
From the end of SKSK's set to Finch setting up felt like forever. I was hot and my feet hurt. Randy came out to set up as was really nice to all the fans. He was talking to a few kids. He gained to some weight so the skinny jeans he was wearing were not flattering. My boyfriend said he looked like a douche but he seems like a real nice guy.
So when Finch hit the stage I was more than excited! They opened with Perfect Through Silence (my favorite song). I don't remember the set list since its been awhile and they played some songs I didn't know. But they did play Stay With Me, Worms of the Earth, and other songs off of What It Is To Burn and Say Hello to Sunshine. They also played some songs off their brand spanking new EP. During their set Nate apologized to the people in the front row because he said he smelled like a yak. Apparently, his cat peed on his shirt and he didn't notice the smell. So when he started sweating he was able to smell it. Ew. Their set was full of energy and playful banter. Nate looks really young is a lot better looking in person. Finch did a great show, and Nate looks like someone I know.
The new Finch EP is available today at your local Hot Topic. It's also available on iTunes.

Here's a link to Randy's blog post about that nights show.

Next Show: Nine Inch Nails @ The Forum in Inglewood, CA.

D'OH!

Its been a long time since I last blogged. It's not like I have been busy, just lazy.
I haven't worked on my video blog, or made a new one. I just stopped obsessing over it. I currently have the time to do it but since my dog chewed up my ethernet cable, I can't get online at home. I'm hoping to get it fixed soon but I don't know when.
I'll try blogging when I can. I have a lot to say but I just can't seem to articulate anything.

Blog: Version 0.2

Semi-almost-there first video blog. Still getting use to it all. Here is my sad attempt.

I Eat Paper

Not really, but my blog needed a name change. It doesn't mean anything, its just random. Maybe I'll make a fun layout if I get or feel creative.

I jump from every rooftop

All three rehearsal videos have been posted at Pitchfork! Take a look!

Letting You

You stick like a bloodstain on my sleeve...

I had the wonderful opportunity to see this band at this years Vans Warped Tour. If you read my review you know that I was heading towards Against Me's set. The stage was ghetto. It looked like they built it last minute and said, "Here, perform here." When I got to the stage there was hardly anyone there, maybe ten people maximum but by the end of their set it was swarming with people. They were located between some concession stands and a half pipe. Tatiana, the lead singer, introduced the band and then went right into a song. It as loud, fast, and everything punk rock should be.

TAT is a three piece punk band from London, England. Tatiana on lead vocals and lead guitar, Nick on bass and vocals, and Jake on drums and vocals. This is their second year touring on Warped Tour and have a growing fanbase. They have opened for bands like The Offspring. They will continue touring after Warped Tour as support for Lagwagon.

For more information check out their MySpace.

Is it Happy Hour yet?

A Long Island Iced Tea sounds fantastic.

I have a few complaints today. I went out for lunch because I was too lazy to fix anything up this morning. On my way to Subway some random guy just yells "HEY BABY!" I am not your baby. I wasn't going to argue with the moron but this is no way to get a womans attention. Why is it that men constantly feel the need to yell such things to get a womans attention. Why don't they just walk up politely and give her a compliment. I don't understand it.

Complaint #2: I actually did my hair and make-up today. I don't know how long its been but it came out good. While I was ordering my sandwich everything was normal. Everyone had the same monotone voice, "what kind of bread" "do you want cheese?" "toasted?". Nothing out of the ordinary. When I got up to the register the cashier cheers with glee "HELLO!!!", it kind of scared me, I was caught off guard. I mean he was incredibly nice and actually had some sort of happy expression on his face. He wasn't like that a few seconds earlier. Why did he greet me in that manner and not the lady infront of me? Then I realized that stuff like this happens all the time. You get treated better when you look good. Oh, how shallow we are!
