It Finally Came.

March twenty-fifth was a day I had been waiting for for a very very long time. New Panic at the Disco, Counting Crows, and Raconteurs all in one day. What more could you ask for? And on top of that, the Fall Out Boy/John Mayer cover of Michael Jackson's "Beat It" was put on Itunes and the Cab put a new song on their Myspace featuring the guest vocals of Patrick Stump and Brendon Urie.

I've already bought the new Panic CD, Pretty. Odd., and I can't stop listening to it. It's extremely different from their first album, A Fever You Can't Sweat Out. It's a much more mature, less synthesizer sound.

I haven't had a chance to listen to the Counting Crows or Raconteurs albums yet, but when I get a chance I'll write about what I think.

Are You Gonna Eat That?



Patrick Stump is currently recording a song with Ne-Yo titled "Finish Your Food." I'm not a Ne-Yo fan, but I love Patrick Stump. While talking with EW.com, he called it "A really good Ne-Yo signature, lyrical story-song." I'll be curious to see how this turns out.

Fangs Up!

I saw Cobra Starship on Friday, and it was absolutely amazing. The band sounded awesome and the bands that opened; The Cab, Metro Station, Thunderkatz, and We the Kings; were all equally as great. I saw it at The Masquerade in Atlanta. Its a very small venue, and that was half of what made the concert so great. We were able to meet some of the people from the bands which was so much fun. I met Hunter Thomsen (We the Kings), Alex DeLeon (The Cab), Gabe Saporta (Cobra Starship), and Alex Suarez (Cobra Starship). They really couldn't have been any nicer.

Artist of the Day: Radiohead

An English rock band from Okfordshire, Radiohead has released seven records and sold over 23 million. Their first single, "Creep" was released in 1992 and their debut album, Pablo Honey in 1993. Radiohead made their trickiest move, when they released their newest album In Rainbows without a record company. The album was released in 2007 as a digital download for free and later as a CD that you could buy.

Matchbox Twenty

Last Monday, I saw Matchbox Twenty and they were absolutely amazing. They sounded great live and even though they had some technical difficulties, their light show as still great. Mutemath and Alanis Morsiette both opened for them, and they were equally as great. I had heard of Mutemath before, but never listened to their music and I thoroughly enjoyed them. They played a keytar, which is my new favorite instrument/obsession so that was awesome.
