no sleep for the...

Am I weary?

Yesterday, or rather early this morning I had found myself awake for 24 hours straight. Whthfxupwtdat? I didn't even feel tired! And here I thought we actually need sleep. It's all lies, told by the man to hold us down!

Maybe I've ran out of dreams.



Oh, yeah, this past Tuesday I was able to see one of my fave bands ever play again in Toronto. Rilo Kiley! I hearted it! I took some pics and some video. I really do think there's no contest that they are my most beloved band, of at least the last decade of my life. Their new CD Under the Blacklight (notice how in the photo, they are literally under the black light? Genius!) has gotten some sketchy reviews. Maybe I'm biased, but I see it as a natural progression. There are elements from both Jenny and Blake's solo efforts represented on the new disc.

My one lament is that they are on a major label now, and virtually every magazine cover out there. And it's not that whole, I want them for myself, and they should never be (even more) popular sort of thing. I wish for them every success that that comes their way! It's just as they attract larger crowds, they will have to graduate to larger venues, and given the brand of mellow indie cum country via pop folk rock that they play, it'll most likely be a sit down venue. And I hate those places. I want to be up close and personal with the community and the band. I want to feel the blood sweat and tears as they play. I want to dance.

Alas. The kick drum in this video I took sounds like an 808! And I'm totally too short to be doing this sort of thing...
