A new day has dawned

Well, last night I went to a concert with Louis XIV, Hot Hot Heat, and Editors, which was pretty darn good. I had a really good time and the editors were much much better than I saw coming and of course Hot Hot heat was pretty good. Sadly I couldn't get there in time to see Louis XIV play but from what I heard they rocked out. Outside of those bands, I am going to bring a new band to the table, I have known this one for awhile but not a lot of people I know have heard of them, if any so here we go.

A little over half a year ago I came across a band called The Sunshine underground, who are kind of Brit popish. I have a little weakness in me for bands of this genre (ie. Arctic Monkeys and Hard-Fi) so I had no problem getting into them. They have a lot of energy to their music and a great singer, whose voice always surprises me when I hear it. Apparently they have been getting some play on mtv according to one site but I hope not.

Another amazing band!

I was looking through someone else's blog today and realized I haven't talked about pinback et. I hope they are well known to you all but if not this band is amazing. Though they are said to sound like Broken Social Scene and modest mouse according to some sights, there sound truly is there own. They have a soft gentle feel to most of their music but can still manage to get your feet tapping with most of their songs.
Somehow people still don't know about this band, but you're missing out if you don't, here are some links and videos of their work:

I am Legend

So I was recently able to watch the new Will Smith movie, I Am Legend, in which he is the sole survivor of a human created virus in New York. I must say I found the movie to be really good and suspenseful, the portrayal of Neville(Smith) as a loner in the city was very intriguing, especially the ways he keeps himself sane.

Woot?

So about a month ago my roommates introduced me to an amazing site, called woot.com which boasts the motto, "A deal a day." To tell you the truth, they can't be anymore right, they consistently have new deals everyday. Some of their objects are refurbished electronics, but go to as inventive as a bag of stuff, they don't tell you what you get, you just pay your money and receive a bag of stuff in the mail.

However, my favorite part of this site is one of there three side sites which are: shirt.woot, wine.woot, and sellout.woot. My favorite of these has to easily be shirt.woot , because you can be original shirts only found on shirt.woot for $10 and free shipping, it's hard to beat a deal like that on a cool shirt.

Comdey Tour

There will be a free will be a free comdey show in a few weeks with Will Ferrel and Demetri Martin that should be ridiculously good. The best part is student got free tickets to it and if you join their app(here) on facebook, we can win prizes etc so if you have facebook, join the app.

Something New

Today is pretty much starting off completely tiring because of practice from 11:00 to around 1:00. On my walk here I realized just how much I like this band I have found a few weeks ago. There name is The National, they are a band that hails from Cincinnati, Ohio, and are an amazing indie band. I have heard them described as sounding a little like she wants revenge, but they are much more upbeat and smooth.

More to come later but I need to be in class right now so I will return.

Blog Statement

I haven't really decided how far I will go with this blog but have been thinking of what all I wanted to do and I think I will soon be posting some random photoshopping I have done. I have a bunch of random backgrounds and projects I had worked on that I will most likely be posting. I have also been thinking of going over some easy photoshop tricks.

This is random but as I sit here and type, I can't help but be amazed that in this age of technology, my spell check continues to tell me photoshop is not a word which I find to be fairly hilarious.
