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

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

Image
 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
