Summer evenings pass by
Wed Apr 2, 11:46 PM
I did my Canadian duty, or maybe my rock n roll duty, and checked out the free show tonight at Olympic Plaza. The Juno's are in Calgary this weekend so one of the local radio stations put on a free concert. The bands were the Dudes (local band), Sloan, Bedouin Soundclash, the New Odds (I guess the old odds but with a new name?) and Finger Eleven. I sort of kind of wanted to see the New Odds and could really do without seeing Finger Eleven (really, if I hear Paralize one more time, I might suffer permanent brain damage). By the time my shift was over and I got downtown I was just in time to see Sloan. It was pretty good. They had about a 45 minute set, mostly their singles. They opened with the "goat jizz" song (I swear they actaully sang it once that way!) and ended with "If It Feels Good Do It". I was starving by then and had to head home. No odds for me, they werent going on next, apparently after Bedouin Soundclash and before Finger Eleven (who closed the night). So yah. Yay for me and doing something that didnt involve a dark theatre full of strangers!On a randomish music note, "Afternoons and Coffeespoons" by the Crash Test Dummies is one of my favourite songs. It never fails to put a giant grin on my face and I end up listening to it over and over again. Not to mention dancing like an idiot. It may go on the list of possible "silent rave" songs I'm compiling. Take a listen for yourself!

What she is actually trying to attempt is the "detention dance" from Hairspray. If you click on her you'll see it animated much better. And pretty true to the real dance.
Umm, also? How much do I love this icon? SO MUCH!! Man, I need to watch more Band of Brothers.

Memes? I love memes! There were a few floating around the last couple days, here's my offering.1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Ran
The first article title on the page is the name of your band.
2. http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php
The last four words of the very last quote is the title of your album.
3. http://www.flickr.com/explore/interestin
The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.
Now, pop open your imaging program, and create that album cover.
I did this twice, it was fun!
