Most Ultimate Weapon.

Out of these two choices, which weapon is superior?


1. Tiger Gun: a gun that shoots out tigers.

2. Chainsaw Rocket Launcher: a rocket launcher that shoots out chainsaws,already on, and can sometimes explode.


Comment with your opinion. And your reason.

The Red Album.




So I was just chillin' at my house one day, actually just the other day when like 2 of my friends TEXTED me (now you can tell what generation I'm living in, when friends don't call, but they text) and said "Dude, the new Weezer single video ROCKS!!" My friend who told me this, Meagan, me and her have come to realize that we have similar taste's in music. The overlapping bands are Weezer, Beck, and Green Day. So I was like cool, I'll have to look into it. But then I was at Target and I bought it and let me tell you, IT IS FREAKING AMAZING!!!! The greatest song on the album, well my favorite is number 2, The Greatest Man That Ever Lived (Variations on a Shaker Hymn). Oh my goodness it is amazing. The entire album is perfect! I highly recommend purchasing it. haha It will change your life!

The Power of Coldplay.

I believe it was my sister that said that no matter what there is a Coldplay song that relates to your current mood. I am here to testify that it is true.

Music.

I went into the bandroom, and Dr. Carroll, the percussion specialist who also teaches rock history, was playing Myriad Harbour by The New Pornographers. The song reminded me of something Kyality would listen to, so I asked him what song it was and he told me. His brother made him a CD of the Best of 2007, which included Myriad Harbour, Icky Thump (White Stripes), Black Mirror (Arcade Fire) a Wilco song I don't remember and others. It was awesome!
Driving home from Jazz Band with my friend Bri, she put in a CD. Yael Naim. It was really cool! She sings in Hebrew and French and English. Her song New Soul, was on an Apple commercial. Bri was right when she said that it's cool when music you have listened to for months finally takes off and becomes popular and is on the iMac commercial. I agree.
Check that out.

I Am Feeling Blobligated

Why hello everybody. I haven't died or anything. I have been neglecting my blog. I'm sorry blog. Kyality has been pushing me and blobligating me to post things. I just spent half of my spring break in NYC with Jess in the City, Jon in the City, Noah in the City, Ghetto everything about the city, and Kyality. Oh boy, it was fun. More to come!!!

For Those About to Bald. I Salute You.

Over the past month or two, I have not had a haircut. Usually when one does not cut his hair, it grows. This is my case. However, thanks to my genes, this will not be the situation in the far too near future. If I am anything like my brother Kyality, I will have lost my hair growing capabilities by the time I am 30. But in my ever so important YouTube research, I found something that made me smile.



Some people can rock the bald.


Michael Stipe



Kyality





The Edge





Tobias Funke



Natalie Portman



Some who can't rock the bald.


Britney Spears






My overall sum-up: You are never to bald to rock. People who know they are bald, and can accept it, and own it, are usually the ones that can still rock. Whether it's because they have talent, or can totally rock out to some Guitar Hero anytime, they are the one's who I look up to. I hope I can own my baldness genes.

For those about to bald. I salute you.

The Worlds Loudest Pep Rally




So, AT&T sponsored the Worlds Loudest Pep Rally. Basically the college who sends them the most things (video, texts, etc.) will get to host Dave Matthews Band and enjoy a FREE concert. Honestly, I didn't know about it until my BIG SIS told me. In the end, West Point USMA won....WOO HOO!!!! THAT IS 20 MINUTES FROM MY HOME!!!!! The Warehouse opened up a select number of tickets for members, unfortunately my BIG SIS, didn't win the contest. She remembered that my drum teacher works at West Point and he has connections so asked him if we could get tickets....AND HE PULLED THROUGH!!!! YEEHAW!!! But I couldn't go the night he got tickets for us...I had a school concert. My friend Craig won tickets from the warehouse and then we traded so I went on Thursday and he went on Wednesday. Oh man. It was INSANE!!!! I brought my friend Will, it was his first "clean" concert (as in not a hole in the wall or dirt as the floor concert). This was in Eisenhower Hall, the West Point Theater. Our seats were alright, the top balcony, second row...but it wasn't full so we moved up to the first row. It was SICK!!!!! The opening band was Robert Randolph and the Family Band. They Rocked The House Down. Robert Randolph is an INSANE slide guitarist and is related to CARTER BEAUFORD. So Carter came out and sat in on a song...oh man...that was awesome...and then during another song, DAVE MATTHEWS came out and did a little dance and did his scat. Fun times!!

Dave Matthews Band played and INCREDIBLE show. A PERFECT mix of old and new (mainly old...I like that stuff better haha). I did the best I could with writing down the set list. I didn't get one song.

The BIG trumpet guy was with them as well.

So here it is, and if you have ever had the LIVE DMB experience, you know how it feels.

Two Step
Crash Into Me
...the one I didn't know...
Don't Drink the Water
Anyone Seen the Bridge -directly into-
Too Much
Dreamgirl
Grey Street
Jimi Thing -with a little bit of "Stop, Hey What's that Sound" at the end-
What Would You Say
Tripping Billies
Everyday
Ants Marching
All Along The Watchtower -with Robert Randolph on the slide guitar-
...then they went off...
...Dave came back...
Round and Round (I think that's the name of it)
Gravedigger
...the band came back...
American Baby Intro
Stay (Wasting Time)

Robert Randolph get into the slide guitar...

He got into it this much...Kicking over the chair, Jumping up and down...AHHH!!! AMAZING!!!

This next video is the concert that Craig went to...the day before me...


THIS IS THE DAY I WENT!!!!!


Ants Marching was awesome times 17

So as you can see, the set list was AMAZING...and watching Dave dance topped it off. Wow.

My favorite band: Dave Matthews Band
My #2 band: Robert Randolph & the Family Band





THANKS MR. HARSCH!!!
