Jagged Little Humps
Thank you JCabana for sharing with us one of the best video clips I’ve seen in a while. It’s a music video of Alanis Morissette singing Fergie’s “My Humps”, but in a very “Alanis” style.
She hasn’t been this funny since she was getting slimed on “You Can’t Do That On Television”.
Concert Going Gripe
I’m posting this gripe on behalf of my friend who attended the previously mentioned Decemberists concert with me. Have you ever attended a concert where the entire crowd is sitting, and for some unknown reason, the person in front of you decides to stand up - FOR THE WHOLE SHOW? Sure, it’s their right to enjoy the show standing, but it’s also incredibly annoying. Well, my friend had to deal with that problem. Even worse though, the girl standing in front of him also felt the need to dance the entire time. Leaning to view around a person is hard enough…moving your head back and forth in an opposing pattern to their non-rythmic gyrating is not a fun way to view a show.
They Were Meant for the Stage
Last Tuesday I trekked over to Jersey City for a Decemberists concert, the first in their “Twilight in the Fearful Forest” tour, and my fourth concert of theirs in the past 2 years. For those who have never seem them (or heard their music for that matter), I highly recommend you take a look. I would even say that they are perhaps the best and most unique band out there today. Yes, that’s both a highly subjective statement, and one that many would probably argue against. With bands like “Arcade Fire”, “Gnarls Barkley”, or “The Shins” out there garnering lots of attention and praise, what makes “The Decemberists” any better?
