Life is unfair.

Apparently the CSN Darien Lake concert has been sold out. For a while. And all this time I thought ticketmaster.com was just being retarded.

I will do ANYTHING for a ticket.

Ok, maybe not anything, but you get the goddamn point.

How in the world was the KISS concert still selling tickets when hum-drum Tom Petty featuring CSN already sold out? Answer THAT riddle, my friends. Actually, I guess it's pretty simple...Central New York has awesome taste in music. I'm not saying KISS isn't a good band either, it's just I like CSN and sometimes Y way better...they've got that smooth classic rock sound. Straight from the early 70's. *sigh*

Well, all is not lost since strangely enough, CSN & Y seem to be on a pretty busy tour schedule...all I'm saying is they better not kick the bucket before I get to see them perform live, like someone we all know *COUGH* mj *COUGH*.


Enough gab...here's the SOD (song of the day, I just thought of it, if you don't like it, well, tough luck):


That's All, Genesis, 1983


I heard this song a couple weeks back, and I could not remember the name of it for the life of me, so naturally, I remembered some lyrics to Google when I got home. But, per usual, I forgot them, so I spent about an hour on songtapper.com trying to figure it out. The most meaningful song that came out of that was Jingle Bells. Fail. I thought the search was over for good until the song would pop up again sometime throughout the course of my life.

The next day it was on the radio.

Maybe life is fair...

...but I still want those tickets.

CSN

Crosby Stills Nash.
darien lake, august 14th.


I WANT TO GO SO. FREAKIN. BAD.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.



long time gone...




teach your children...




southern cross...



nuff said.

i just want your extra time and your

kiss!

I came across this song whilst shuffling through iTunes, and until then, I forgot how awesome it is. So act your age, not your shoe size, and respect the classic sounds of the 80's.


Kiss, Prince, 1986

cash rules everything around me

Oh hey again, hope y'all had a great 4th.'

This particular song isn't too old, but, in recent terms, it's..."old".

For some reason, it's one of those songs that you never really get tired of.

oh, hey, it's summer

Oops. Haven't posted in almost...two months. I guess the excitement of summer, classes ending, going home and not having internet really got to me.

Moving on, I have recently become obsessed with 70's music. Aka disco. I'm sorry, it is just way more awesome than the crap that's playing today. Has anyone else noticed how synthesizers have slowly crept into basically every recent song? Why can't they just stay in their own techno/trance genre where they belong!

Of course, I was excited at first, because I thought the trance and electronic genres were becoming more popular. Nope! Most songs are just sad imitations of the real thing. Like juice from concentrate. For example, you pretty much never hear a singer's real voice. And when you do, you are gonna wish ya brought a pair of earplugs to the concert you paid $200 for. A word of advice: never listen to kesha live.


So, here is Diana Ross to save the day:

Upside Down (1980)

Flutes from the Andes

Today is my last night in Pittsburgh before I go home for the summer...so I thought I would post about a song that's a little different from the norm. Strangely enough, I came across this CD one night, and thought it had pretty catchy tunes. Lately I've found myself whistling to it...


Lima Morena, by Los Calchakis, Flutes de Pan de Andes, 1985




Whoo hoo Happy Listening!!

YIPPEE!!!!

To celebrate officially being done with this semester, I suppose I'll post today. Especially since it's almost been a week since my last post. oops.

Per request, from the era of boy-bands,

Too Close - Next, Rated Next, 1998




A one-hit wonder, but who cares, it's a good song.
