iPod is back!

After a fiasco at the post office involving a misspelled surname and apparent computer flaws I finally liberated good ole Euterpe (My Ipod's name) from the clutches of the awful school post office. I think Fiasco is my new favorite word. Just need to locate my keys now, and I'll be set. The song for today is Weezer's Undone (The Sweater Song) but it is an acoustic live version that I thoroughly enjoy. I got it from a friend and it was on my ipod but she was kind enough to hook me up with the mp3 as well. Weezer is such an interesting band because they have such an eclectic sound while still having a distinct Weezer Sound. I like them a lot. 
I've also been watching Weeds a lot lately to pass the time. I'm at the end of season 3 right now. It's pretty funny. They've also gotten a huge variety of artists to do the theme song (Little Boxes) ranging from ManMan to french people. So here's a few extra songs for kicks.

Weekend!

Friday is here. Time to Party! So I saw this band live for like five minutes at the beginning of the Summer but didn't appreciate them as much as I do now. This song Fake Empire is right up there with Hallejulah in terms of song I fuckin' love. It's not really a party song or anything but it's just amazing. Piano and horns and amazing vocals I wish I had and often try to imitate. But in terms of good crazy YAY its weekend Dance music I recommend Dan Deacon. The song for tonight though is The National's Fake Empire.  The National - Fake Empire

School has started

School started. I got here a month ago today, seems like less than that. I've already been to 3 concerts this semester. I saw Gaelic Storm again. Three times in a one year span. Good stuff. Nice contemporary Irish band with some traditional stuff. They didn't have the same energy they usually have but was still fun nonetheless. I managed to get a drink thanks to legal company. Then I saw Fools and Horses which is a pretty good band in the DC/Baltimore area that I highly recommend, I may post some of their stuff here at another time but you should buy it. Local small bands like this need support, they are slowly getting big methinks. The last concert I saw was Flogging Molly in Philadelphia and that was pretty flippin' sweet and totally worth the 2hr drive despite sucky openers. I got some pretty sweet cell phone pics, yeah I was that guy, but I was right up front and didnt have my normal camera. Rarely use that anymore. I started writing again a bit. A short story. Might go up in my lj when finished but that depends on finishing or not. Schools been largely boring so far this year. I've had good nights and nothing bad has happened but it lacks the freshness and new exciting liveliness it did as a freshman. Getting better though. The song for tonight's entry is one I thought I posted ages ago but apparently it didn't work out so yeah here is an awesome dance song by MGMT called Electric Feel.  MGMT - Electric Feel
Post Script:
