METRIC live on St. Patrick's Day

This past Thursday was St. Patrick's Day and I had foolishly scheduled myself to take the GREs on Friday morning, completely forgetting it was St. Patrick's Day and the fact that I was going to a concert in Boston the night before. But that has never stopped me from having a great time and enjoying life. In fact, my school days the day after a concert and getting only 4 hours of sleep are usually my best, most relaxed days. So, I headed to Boston after school and saw one of my favorite bands that I've been following since their inception- Metric. The singer, Emily Haines, has an incredible and soothing voice. Their songs and sound are awesome and I've seen them a couple of times before, so I knew I had to see them for their latest album "Pagans in Vegas" (even though I haven't physically or electronically bought an album in a few years now, luckily there's been multiple ways to listen to music and I have found my own place on Spotify.

Metric did not disappoint at all. It was an amazing set with a great variety from their catalogue of albums.

Their opening band was pretty decent as well and seemed to have quite a following- Joywave. They reminded me of Joy Division and The Killers. They are definitely worth checking out.

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

Best Albums of 2020 (The Year that Almost Wasn't, if it Wasn't for Music Saving Us All)

 Well, well, well. We've come to the end of a very strange, long trip of a year. 2020. Who would have guessed that such a year would bring such incredible music, honestly. Artists and musicians in isolation found ways to impress us with their creativity and produced some of their best work to date. And it allowed me to find some amazing new artists and bands. I had a lot of time to sit or walk or hike with new music and found a way to appreciate it all. I've grown to appreciate country, of all genres, over the years, and I suppose that has a lot to do with my adoration of the one and only Taylor Swift (who began as a country artist only to emerge a few years ago into the most incredible pop star perhaps several generations has ever seen. Regardless, I've grown to appreciate solid, well-crafted country songs and I'm not ashamed of it. Albeit, 95% of what I enjoy happens to be female country singers (because let's face it, that southern accent just kind of does it for
