Just a small music newssss update.
Ya know, cause that's what I made this freakin thing for.
First off, Lolla, for me, is getting farther away. My chances of getting a 3 day pass are minimal...so I may have to settle for the one day. So what day do I choose? It's clear. Aside from Kings of Leon and The Beastie Boys...Sunday looks like THE day to be at Grant Park.
Sunday:
Kasier Chiefs
Lou Reed
Vampire Weekend
Airborn Toxic Event
Bat for Lashes
Silversun Pickups
Cold War Kids
and to close it all, Jane's Addiction vs. The Killers. And I think we all know what stage I would be front and center for.
Oh yeah...and Snoop Dogg...
So let's hope to get Chelsie to Grant Park on Aug. 9th, yes?
If no (and maybe "as well as"), the Modest Mouse has announced their US tour! Their new 7" is due out this Saturday, which means new album soon. Until that time, I may very well be seeing a (Johnny Marr-less) Modest Mouse on Aug. 24th in Columbus, OH...at the same outside venue where we saw The Killers...at least it won't be Cinco de Mayo.
Speaking of festivals, there was a dead body found at Bonnaroo clean up...
Oh, and no more Hookie. New Order = Hookieless.
Okay, that's my update!

Out Where The Dreams Are High
I have been SLACKING!
But now with Twitter, and of course through Facebook, my updates are still going. But it's always nice to have the blog.
I still have to review The Killers concert from May, but for now..."A Dustland Fairytale".
Thoughts?
I agree with The Killers when they say they don't like to talk much about the meaing of their songs, which is the reason most of their videos lack a story line. I have my own views of what the song means to me, and even invision the songs (who doesn't?). But when I saw this videa, knowing about the story line, I thought it just fit. It isn't exactly what I had in my own head, for sure, but something about it works out.
It has sort of a "When You Were Young" feel to it, with a beginning and and ending about relationships, love, hurt, suprise, just raw emotion. But there are obvious differences. The director put the song onto film beautifully, and each time I watch it, I get it even more.
However, I would have to say the live version is always best. Seeing it twice myself was out of this world. But for anyone who hasn't seen, the live version on David Letterman sum it up. It is impossible not to be moved by it...
Regardless of which one you watch, you won't be disappointed!
Now get me a damn tissue
