3 Concerts in 1 Week.

Last Sunday, I travelled down to Boston (after watching a disappointing Patriots game against the Bills) to see Taking Back Sunday at the Paradise (a much smaller venue than I've seen them in prior to this). They wanted to take things back to earlier days for this tour, which was great because the energy in smaller venues is way better in my opinion. Louder. Sweatier. Hotter. More intense. 

The band has been playing their new album in its entirety on this tour, as well as all of their hits.

The next night, I traveled back down to Boston, after school, to the same venue, but this time with my sister to see Hop Along and Built to Spill. This was my third time seeing both bands, yet not together, of course. It was a great to see them together and Hop Along has quickly become one of my favorite bands. The female singer's voice is just a force to be heard! 



And Built to Spill put on one hell of set, too.

Then, on Thursday night, I went back down to Boston, same venue (Paradise) for a great show from the California all-female dream-rock group Warpaint. I saw them about 3-4 years ago with my cousin, so I've always kept my eye out for them to come back to the east coast. It was such a late show, especially for someone like me, who had traveled back and forth twice already and had to teach the next morning. But, it was 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...
