Sab 16 Oct – Mendetz, Pendeltons

La noche empezó marchando hacia la Wah Wah a las 22:30. Se suponía que a esa hora comenzaba el concierto pero, como suele ser costumbre, se retrasó.

A las 11 salieron al escenario los Pendeltons, que no conocía. Comenzaron muy instrumentales y me gustaron un montón, luego la cosa fue decayendo un poco, pero aún así fue un concierto muy divertido. El cantante, gafas de Kanye West incluídas, salió al escenario y empezó a animar mucho mucho, es muy carismático y eso es de agradecer. Además, tocaron una cover del Danger! High Voltage y otra del Bailando que "lo petaron".
Unos 50 minutos (y muchos movimientos pélvicos) más tarde, terminaron y se marcharon, entre aplausos del público, que a esas horas era abundante.

Sobre la medianoche por fin hicieron acto de presencia Mendetz. El concierto fue muy cortito, con 11 canciones (incluyendo la intro y el bis), que hizo que sólo durara una hora justa. Pero qué hora, para ser sinceros. …

1. Meat Loaf - Dead Ringer for Love
The ballad for seeing some across the table in a café/restaurant and thinking they're 'fit' but you don't know who they are. Man, how many times have I been in this scenario before? Great song though, it just makes you wanna rock out and have fun!
Originally a #5 hit in November 1981.

2. Status Quo - Down Down
My love of Status Quo has grown recently, especially when I got their 'Pictures' album. This song just makes me wanna rock out, this helped me through the split of Marina and I.
Originally a #1 hit in December 1974.

3. Sex Pistols - Pretty Vacant
The song my friend Rug (Matt) had chosen at random for his music video project. He couldn't stand the song, which added hilarity to the scenario. In the end, he made a great masterpiece with the song and I think he's gonna get a good grade with it, congrats Rug!
Originally a #6 hit in July 1977.

One of the joys of the internet is the ability to look at list of Greatest Songs of all Time and similar shit and you can often discover quality gems of music. I thought rI’d give the old list thing a bash. Instead of going for the 60’s and 90’s where my favourite music mainly originates I thought I’d take a stab at the current decade. Despite being a two years shy of an actual decade and with my initial misgivings about how music was much better in my day (well, the previous decade) I had a fucking mission to limit my choices. I had to go to 190 songs and I may even edit my choices in the next few days.

This decade has produced some quality tracks in a wider variety of genres than ever before. Although it could be argued that there more “instant classics” in every prior decade since the 50’s. Looking through my list there are too many bands that have really becoming immensely huge. perhaps Coldplay who confound many (including myself) in having three songs in the list. …

Wed 19 Nov – Electric Six, Local H, The Golden Dogs

I finally made my way out to Dave Grohl's bar, The Black Cat, on 14th Street in Washington DC 2 nights ago. My bandmates had turned me on to Electric Six, and they happened to be playing there last night. It also happened to be my birthday (happy birthday to me), so why not have a night on the town? It was a cool little place. I'd definitely go back. We missed the first band (The Golden Dogs, I believe), but walked in as Local H had started their set. I liked "Bound For The Floor" when it was getting airplay back in the mid-90's, so it was very cool to see that live. The rest of the set sounded good too, so I was glad to get a chance to catch most of it. I could definitely see myself getting into more of their music...12 years after they're 15 minutes of fame. I seem to have a knack of doing that. Anyway, they finished up. Now for the fun part...

Electric Six comes out, and hilarity ensues. The band has this sound that I can only explain as disco-rock. …
