Circa Survive "Juturna" is 10 Years Old (and still one of my favorite albums)

Last night was my 6th time seeing Circa Survive. And it was hard to believe that they were celebrating the 10th anniversary of their debut album "Juturna," which for me is one of the Top 5 albums of the past 15 years. I still remember going to Bull Moose in Brunswick, ME and buying it while my buddy Corey was working behind the counter. I've listened to it non-stop in several phases of my life over the past 10 years. It still holds up, for me, 10 years later, which is a sign that it is an incredible album, when it can still resonate with you after so many listens. The band played it in its entirety, from track 1 to the last, with Anthony Green playing the last song acoustically, by himself. It's an incredibly powerful album to hear live, as well, with a bit of a new interpretation to a couple of songs, which added some flare.

One of the opening bands was RX Bandits, whom I've got to be honest, I'd heard of several years ago, but never listened to their music. Too bad, for me, because their live set was awesome. They are an incredible band and I will definitely be checking them out further. It's great when the opening bands are a new find and something cool to discover.

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...
