Grace Potter, Live, on Halloween (a bit late)

I've seen Grace Potter I think 6 times now, and Halloween was probably my favorite show (which is hard to estimate because each time I see her, she just gets better and better- case in point, her set at Thompson's Point with Lake Street Dive). But this show was incredible. The whole band came out dressed as a hair-metal band from the 1980s and aside from Grace Potter songs, they pulled out some old classics. I've been trying to find a setlist for the show, and that's why it's taken me so long to review the show, but I can't find one anywhere, so I just have to go off my memory. During a few of her own songs, she ripped into verses from:

Paradise City
Every Rose Has Its Thorn (during Stars) 
November Rain
I Love Rock n Roll

 Then, for the encore: 
White Wedding
Sweet Child o' Mine
Since I've Been Loving You 
and finally... You Shook Me All Night

She also played some of her songs, of course, including:
Your Girl
Biggest Fan
Stars
Look What We've Become
The Lion The Beast The Beat
Paris (oh la la)
Turntable
Loneliest Soul
Instigators
Alive Tonight
Medicine
Low

It was one of my favorite shows, ever!

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...

Film 88 (Pretty Persuasion) and a Hospital Visit

Monday night I was relaxing after an easier return to school from the weekend that was a welcome short vacation after a very long week, dealing with student's escalating behavior throughout the entire week. It was easier because something had just been working better internally within the classroom. Perhaps it was the fact that I shaved my 3 month-old beard in front of the school and now I looked like a "professional." Perhaps it's because it's almost April and the students are maturing. Perhaps it's my consistency of being their teacher every day which has finally kicked in. Then Tuesday morning hit and a wash of unhealthiness hit me very abruptly. I got a severe case of "swimmer's ear" (or so I thought). I was sitting in a meeting and all of a sudden it felt like my ear had imploded inward. I couldn't hear people to the left of me, I started to feel my body go entirely weak, my equilibrium was off kilter and I felt like a couldn't mov...

#72 (Holy Motors) and #73 (Oz the Great and Powerful) not so much

This weekend was another great weekend. Last weekend it was live music with friends. This weekend it was movies with friends. Friday night I went to the Portland Museum of Art with my buddy Chris and met his friend Todd (who seemed very familiar only to find out that he works at Bull Moose and I've probably bought many DVDs and CDs from him). PMA was showing the French film "Holy Motors" (thanks in part to SPACE Gallery) which was on many critics Top Lists of 2012. I certainly do not disagree that it's one of the most amazing films I've seen the past year, but it's also the most baffling, confusing and I'm quite sure insightful, but as I'm still thinking about it even now, I am still wondering exactly what I actually watched, and I saw it on Friday night. And I've tried to do my research, but no one has attempted to try to explain the movie, least of all the director. To quote the Washington Post I read that seemed to be the most accurate descrip...
