Two More Amazing Concerts (Best Coast...and then, Coheed and Cambria)

A couple of weeks ago, I got the chance to see Best Coast at the Paradise, in Boston. A sold out show! And oh boy, was it incredible! I love Bethany's voice, and seeing them live was just a great experience. Different from listening to their albums, which is always a bonus. A cool band from Nashville, TN opened the show, Bully, who were almost as equally good.

Here's the Best Coast setlist:

  1. The Only Place 
  2. Heaven Sent 
  3. Fine Without You 
  4. The End 
  5. Do You Love Me Like You Used To 
  6. Crazy for You 
  7. No One Like You 
  8. So Unaware 
  9. California Nights 
  10. When I'm With You 
  11. I Don't Know How 
  12. Dreaming My Life Away 
  13. Fade Away 
  14. Fading Fast 
  15. In My Eyes 
  16. Feeling OK 
  17. Goodbye 
  18. When Will I Change 
  19. Boyfriend 
........................................................................................
And then, last week, I went to see Coheed and Cambria at the State Theatre, in Portland. I've seen this amazing, sci-fi inspired storytelling band at least 4x now and every single time, they blow me away. This was more of a best-of set, since they haven't put out a new album in a couple of years. But it was still, absolutely, worth it!

Two Great Films, and more to Pass the Time

"We Need to Talk About Kevin" starring: Tilda Swinton, John C. Reilly, Ezra Miller, Jasper Newell, Rocky Duer, Ashley Gerasimovich, Siobhan Fallon Hogan, Alex Manette, James Chen written and directed by: Lynne Ramsay Remember when The Who sang "The Kids are Alright"? Yea, this film proves that is not the case as it attempts to define nature versus nurture versus just plain evil (and are you simply born that way). This is a modern American (almost strictly American, by the way) horror story. One all too real in the wake of Columbine and all subsequent mass killings (at schools, specifically) since that awful day. We always struggle to understand why things like that happen and how they got this way, what drives someone to murder. This is the story of a boy-turned-teenager through the eyes of his mother, and her struggle with raising him and then answering for his crime. Swinton, as Eva, is flat-out amazing. Since much of the film unfolds in flashback wit...

Pineapple Express + 1

This has probably been one of the most relaxing school vacations in awhile. It helps that the weather has changed and its actually decent now. Looking back, Maine had a very long, depressing, all-I-want-to-do-is-stay-inside-until-the-snow-disappear kind of winters. It was blistering cold. It snowed a significant amount. It was dark more than it was light. It was depressing. Seasonal Affected Disorder, perhaps. I mean, I went out as much as I wanted to, but the cold tended to keep me in. Christmas vacation- nothing much happened, except I got this brilliant idea for my blog and started the project of watching 365 films in one year. February break came next. Again, nothing much. It was still cold and I'm not a skier or a snowboarder. I did play in a pond hockey tournament. That was fun. But, now we've come to April and it's finally spring in Maine. This week's weather makes braving all those cold days and nights during the winter worth it. I think the winters that we ha...

Films 64 & 65 (Fish Tank)

First off, I have to say, I think the band Taking Back Sunday has been completely ruined for me. And I know what a lot of people are thinking...really, aren't you like 8-9 years behind everyone else? It's true the original bands album "Tell All Your Friends" was seminal in putting the genre now known as EMO on the map. It was approximately 30 minutes of pure, unadulterated "heart-on-my-sleeve" and "I'm pissed at how you treated me so I wrote song about it" songs. Adam Lazzara is well known for writing songs is a form of back-stabbing or talking behind someone's back who has slighted him. I used to really love them. I would crank their music to Eleven! I never thought of it as EMO music, I just thought they were writing songs that I could connect my experiences to. It was like they were writing relatable songs. They knew my heartache and pain. And they wrote it for me! I still remember seeing the video for "Cute Without the E" on M...
