Show Me the Pink + JAPANTHER
Sunday I went to basement punk show at a friend of mines house. Japanther and Show Me the Pink were playing. I don't really know how he got this deal set up, or how any of it really works, but Japanther is actually a pretty big group. Like, a bunch of people know if them, and now they are playing in some kids basement. I don't get it, but I dig it. The guyhttp://www.blogger.com/img/gl.photo.gifs that started Japanther went to Pratt actually, which is interesting. Maybe Talia will end up in a punk band someday...
I hadn't much of any of their stuff before seeing the show, but I did know their name. I was exciting, though.
I bike to the house around 7:30 - 8:00ish and meet up with friends inside. Japanther was cool enough to show up late, so you know they are legit. We hang out for awhile and people are gettin a little drunk when before we know it after an hour has gone by and they still haven't showed. We start getting a little bored and anxious so we find a ball and go outside and FOUR SQUARE IT UP. I forgot how great this game is. So, uh, we are going to hit up Long Lots one of this days in the summer and rock out. Def.
So, we see the bands van roll by a little bit later so we head back to the house to see if anything has started up yet. Too many people pile into the basement around Show Me The Pink and they start rocking out.
I'm not really into the punk scene...like, at all, but oh my god I can't tell you enough how much I enjoyed the show. The music is eh, but IT'S LOUD, ENERGETIC, AND INTOXICATING, so I'm more than down. The scene was gnar, the place was full of tattood, drunk, punkers going crazy. Picture proves it:
No ceiling clearance, I LOVE IT. SO retarded, it's the best.
So, Japanther comes on after and they are dope as shit. They sing into telephones that look like they have just been ripped out of PayPhones and they make their voices sound slightly mechanical which gives a really cool edge.
One of the highlights of the night was the destruction of the place. By the time we left, it was hardly a basement, and much more of a wasteland. Someone had ripped the piping from the ceiling was hanging by these pipes in the middle of the dance floor. It started leaking and people started going crazy and pulling harder until the thing BROKE IN HALF showering the entire crowd and band with gushing gurgling fountains of water pouring from the ceiling. PEOPLE. WENT. NUTS. The guy he lived there tried to fix it for a minute, then went back to dancing a second later. SO GNAR.
YESSSS
This was probably the best ending to any party I've ever been to. A waterpipe was broken showering the basement, Japanther had finished playing the last of all of the songs they've written, and the cops showed up. All within 5 minutes. It could not have been a better finish to an insanely energetic Sunday evening. I'd do it again in a second.

2001: A Space Odyssey
This movie blows my mind.
I love it.
I also love the music.
So this past Friday I went and saw the Philadelphia Orchestra go and play the theme music from the film. They played:
LEGETI'S Atmospheres
BRAHM'S Violin Concerto in d Major. Op. 77
R. STRAUSS'S Also sprach Zarathustra Op. 30
J. STRAUSS. JR. "On the Beautiful Blue Danube" Waltz Op. 314
Ending with Blue Danube was amazing and fit so well. Atmospheres was my favorite piece and Ryan was telling me that this was the first symphony to not have a melody of any sort, which is pretty interesting. Ryan was also telling me that the Philadelphia Orchestra is one of the best Orchestras in the country, which is really cool. They had this dude who did a bunch of solos named Nikolaj Znaider. I've never heard of him before, but they made it sound like he was the greatest violin man in the world. All I know is that this dude was about 10 feet tall and could kill me by looking at me. That was enough.
The whole show was just under 2 hours long. With my student ID I only had to pay $8 to see it. It was great, this couple next to me paid 80$ for their tickets. How's that for a good deal?

Hot Chip
I saw Hot Chip at the Starlight Ballroom last week on Thursday. I've had a number of their remixes and songs of theirs that other people remixed, but I only picked up a CD of just their stuff a couple weeks ago. I dug it, so I had to get tickets. A numbr of my friends were going too, so that was a big incentive.
Lucky me, they all got tickets before the show sold out. So I was the only one in the group of 5 or 6 of us without tickets. Getting tickets was a FIASCO. The only 'logical' way of getting tickets I could think of by using Craigslist. SO, I probably sent out a dozen emails to people claiming to have tickets. I spent an entire week on craigslist seeing if I could get tickets. 90% of the emails I sent out were ignored by the receivers, I got two responses back. When I responded for second time to one of them, I was finally ignored yet again, but mah last boy hooked me up. One thing about buying stuff off of craigslist which is kind of weird, is that you have to go meet the person in order to make the trade. So I could have ended up buying a ticket off some starving marmot for all I knew. But, the dude was chill and I got in paying less than all my friends did. Of course I gave the dude a 20$ although online he said he only wanted 15$. I was just so greatfull someone actually got back to be, it was worth it.
So the show was awesome. Some group called Blood Something or other opened for them and nobody was feeling it too much. They were alright, but, eh. Ya know.
Hot Chip was ridonk. It was a really fun show and vibe was right where it needed to be. Nobody was really standing around looking like they didn't know what was going and everyone got reals into it.
My friend Lyndsay had her boyfriend come down for the weekend so he was there as well. He has basically the same taste in music as I and he's totally crazy. He wears hi-tops and bright blue pants and can dance all night. Mah type of d000d.
Hawt vids
I gotta say though, one of the highlights of the night was not seeing Hot Chip. It was getting to hang out with Spank Rock a bit at the end of the night. He's such a chill guy, he was just walking around getting pictures with people, drinking, and talking. I gave him a couple good hand shakes. What a bro.
