Day 20

A band that you immediately liked and the song that made you like them.

Music snobs everywhere, say what you will, but I completely and absolutely adore Coldplay. Not only do I think Chris Martin and his bevy of bandmates are genius musically, but lyrically they are phenomenol as well. The first time I heard Coldplay was when I was watching MTV2 (where they actually play music videos) and the video for "Yellow" came on. As soon as the video was over I thought I was in love. Not only did Chris Martin have one of the most beautiful male voices I had heard but the music and lyrics were perfect.  As time has passed, and more music has come out from them my love for Coldplay has only been solidified. Their music tells tales of heartbreak, love, hope, desire, and everything in between. I have a lot of friends who knock them for "sounding too much like U2" or "copying the ways of Radiohead", but I really could care less. To me, their music is about the message and the feelings that the music creates inside of you. I can relate many Coldplay songs to many events and emotions throughout my teenage, and now adult years, and not everyone has the opprotunity to feel that connection with music that they love.

Day 14

Day 14 - Best mashup you’ve ever heard


It may not be the absolute best mashup ever, I have others I like more, BUT this mashup is so ridiculously wrong that it's right. I can't help myself.
 

 
Yes, you are reading that right, Destiny's Child "Bootylicious" paired with Nirvana "Smells Like Team Spirit". Surprisingly it works pretty well.

Where's the little canary in skinny jeans?!

Tonight Amy and I decided to go to Anderson in hopes of seeing Rodeo Ruby Love rather than Columbus to see Bishop Allen since we are procrastinators and also have work in the morning.
We missed Rodeo Ruby Love, which was very disappointing.
The other bands we saw that were there pretty much sucked.
One was a super Christian band, that would have been alright had it not been for a 15 minute sermon about how Jesus loves me.
The other was a bad love child of Aqualung and Ben Folds.
However, the night was not a loss.
We had many grand adventures scoping out Anderson,getting lost in Anderson,finding out that Anderson has far too many one way streets,not asking for directions in Anderson,etc...
We also ate at White Castle for the very first time!
While it was not as amazing as we had envisioned it, it was something we could say we did that we hadn't before, just ask the girl in the bright yellow sweats that asked us if we had been there.
So, in the end, the night ended up being quite interesting and enjoyable.

Fact:Do not procrastinate when wanting to go to shows that are far distances from you.
Fact:Do not panic in a strange city with lots of ridiclous one way streets and the ghetto at every corner.
Fact:I love times lie this when it's more about the trip and adventure and who you're with than what you actually did.
