So I went to a concert tonight. First i've been to in a long long time, mainly because the only concerts Ivan tolerate anymore are those outside where I can lay in the grass and relax with friends, drinks and other outdoor accessories. Cramped shows at cramped venues tend to bring out the worst in people, or just the worst people I guess, so I don't really go anymore. So why tonight? And why is this worthy of my first blog entry in months? Well, built to spill is playing a couple of nights in sd this week. I never got to see them when I used to go to concerts, and always kind of wanted to see them. I guess this post serves to encourage the one person who still might read this to go and see them on this tour. They played quite a few songs from there's nothing wrog with love that were neckhair raisers, car in particular. But what was most interesting was how old these guys are. I guess they were probably old when they helped me through teenage love crises, but onstage they looked really old. But the familiar songs and comfortable unedginess really made for a "pumping, epic, and alltime" show. I think the autotune era (much thanks to chers do you believe in life after love) is the first in music where I really felt old. I feel like most new things I hear these days make no sense. Not that I've given up, afterall, I don't want to miss the next "turn my swag on." but I think for concerts, Im sticking to bands I listened to pre highschol graduation. Good thing pearl jam is touring this summer I guess. -- Post From My iPhone
