And I said to myself, "Awe sirus XMU, You're so cute, playing Paul Simon, trying to mix it up for my early morning commute." Then I look to my stereo for the song title. Because I was unfamiliar with this Paul Simon tune. And to my utter shock and amazement (insert sarcasm here) It was Vampire Weekend.<br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTjwXwl_be8">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTjwXwl_be8</a>Wendy Jhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12326641778960597663noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5036005736880049702.post-75772318256109498782009-09-17T10:41:00.003-07:002009-09-17T13:38:31.971-07:00Phoenix<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQPB-C6K-OCqXRfV2kce9TcxlVYmw0FKy-1Inh6uRbasx9MNJ4yx3a81N__YrLgNu2GmiTfQekhkjsz_-sLRr_cWaIp6Jy6TmygMKSDOp0i465K2HJWY17E0tdD4yyqiAJLPo5Ba7bvBrR/s1600-h/IMG_1178.JPG"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 281px; height: 187px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQPB-C6K-OCqXRfV2kce9TcxlVYmw0FKy-1Inh6uRbasx9MNJ4yx3a81N__YrLgNu2GmiTfQekhkjsz_-sLRr_cWaIp6Jy6TmygMKSDOp0i465K2HJWY17E0tdD4yyqiAJLPo5Ba7bvBrR/s320/IMG_1178.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382526705071562098" border="0" /></a>Sounds Like... 90's rock meets electronic. And I think that is the reason why I love them so much. Cause that's just awesome! At last night's show at the Greek Theater in LA, I heard moments of Radiohead, Bruce Springsteen, & maybe even a Mike McCready guitar riff for a second there. And you could difinitely hear their Daft Punk & Air influences. If a show that sounds like that doesn't spell epic to you...well then I just give up.Wendy Jhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12326641778960597663noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5036005736880049702.post-20980655940807697862009-09-17T10:41:00.001-07:002009-09-17T12:16:49.941-07:00Metric<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihTmpj9cVdGAc0L33W8YmFMWRU2GRL9FendUQplDpq3qNqaDSj0IPm1dxSlwbf7-Aa89ouAZpsMY0_NuTRkTOkf63l1rYoD2oBSDUC1LBiHjJAtNgJWqXDJhYn96ZNhFr_QjHWFAy6OTny/s1600-h/metric.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 282px; height: 211px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihTmpj9cVdGAc0L33W8YmFMWRU2GRL9FendUQplDpq3qNqaDSj0IPm1dxSlwbf7-Aa89ouAZpsMY0_NuTRkTOkf63l1rYoD2oBSDUC1LBiHjJAtNgJWqXDJhYn96ZNhFr_QjHWFAy6OTny/s320/metric.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382493926221763954" border="0" /></a>Sounds like... the Yeah Yeah Yeahs meets Kelly Clarkson.<br />Oooh, some people are going to kill me for that one.

The White Stripes with more people. Maybe The White Stripes with the Lead singer from The Kills. But not Dead Weather. No, definitely not Dead Weather.

But this band is a handful.<br />I was lucky enough to get to see them Live at the El Rey in LA back in May.<br />Who said LA crowds are lame? I haven't seen this much stage diving since 91. And I sure as hell haven't seen a mosh pit like that, in a small club, since at least 92. Anyway, It's a show to check out. Just stand back a little further than you normally would and if you're over seas, watch out for the urine and the vomit. That's not to much to ask... is it?<br />This right here is my Jam. Gives me the chills every time.<br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y75rYcZO_ZE">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y75rYcZO_ZE</a>Wendy Jhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12326641778960597663noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5036005736880049702.post-22667267578064892582009-07-30T12:38:00.001-07:002009-07-30T12:54:56.537-07:00Grizzly Bear's "Two Weeks"Sounds like...

De Crecy will stop in SF for one more small club night before taking his Squares to the stage to headline All Points West in NY/NJ this weekend.
