Wed 7 Apr – The Spring Standards + Via Audio + Paper Bird

I loved it. One of my friends was absolutely taken with Paper Bird, I thought they were pretty good. I wouldn't necessarily seek out their music, but I enjoyed the performance. Anyways, Via Audio was amazing. I wish that their set had been longer, but it was really nice to meet 3/4 of the band at the merch table. I didn't get to stay past 2-3 songs of The Spring Standards, unfortunately. The Via Audio set list, off the top of my head:

Goldrush
Tigers…

Sun 14 Jun – No Doubt, Paramore, The Sounds

The Sounds were pretty good, I wish the screens were on when they played, but I guess they were waiting until it got dark..

Paramore was pretty terrible

No Doubt was amazing and I was totally waiting to hear Rock Steady, which they busted out near the end after a costume change. The drummer stole the show with his random changes throughout, adding a fake mustaches, losing his pants, adding a tutu. Covering Adam Ant was fantastic and I had a lovely time overall.

This video overall has the best sound…

So I felt the need to update this. yeah!

Why is…

Be negative about your Top 20. (I struggled with this)

1. The Academy Is...
I hate the slow songs about 90% of the time. And I feel as though I've wasted like 20 billion hours of my life watching TAITV.

2. Cobra Starship
I've started to hate Gabe Saporta.

3. Muse
I'm still getting used to some of the weirdness/operatic tendencies of a few songs.

4. Sherwood
I've only listened to 10/32 songs that I have from this band. I've listened so much that I'm kind of choking on the catchy music now.

5. Fiona Apple
Every song is…
