My next concert is Crowded House in May. When the DH worked for Wiilam Morris, we got free tix to EVERYTHING. Now, we try to go at least a few times a year. We tend to still dig nerdy, power-pop bands from our youth and one really doesn't have to worry about being the oldest at a They Might be Giants concert. We try to go to some world music as well--Bebel Gilberto or suchlike.
Bar maid! Bring me stronger ale! And some plump, succulent babies to eat!

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I just saw MCR on Tuesday (AIWFG!), and I'm seeing them again on the 4th, and Panic at the Disco on the 17th. I think I'm going to more concerts in a month than I'd been to in the last four years!

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I'm seeing Cobra Starship three times in May.
Aesthetic question. Item A: [link] or Item B: [link] ?

WOO COBRA. Are you going into the pit? Because then I would go with Item B.
Actually, I would go with Item B anyway on a purely aesthetic level, but at concerts, white + sweat = involuntary wet T-shirt contest, in my experience.

I don't own either yet! I'm trying to decide which one to buy.
The awesome, awesome, absolutely awesome thing about the Cobra Shows is that no one knows who they are here, and they're co-headlining with All Time Low who are also relatively unknown, so the shows aren't at all sold out and they're in tiny tiny venues. Like 200, 300 kids on the outside. No crushing, no elbows, no pit, no idiocy. Well. There will probably be idiocy. But I can totally deal with things more in small venues. I will be able to talk to them. Like real people and not objects for photography. It's going to be awesome.

Oh, that is awesome! I still like Item B best, but I have a Thing for chicks with guitars, and I've been told that I own too many shirts with skulls on and that I'm intimidating enough without them.
(Oh! You know what you should do? Ask Ryland if he a) hates Guy Ripley because he's never seen in the same place as him, or b) if they're secretly having a torrid affair and overcompensating by never being seen together.)

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I know, right? I think I actually like the design on the other one more, but I keep getting waylad by Chick With Guitar.
Also, ha! Maybe with a couple pints in me I'll ask. ::grin::

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
It took me so long to catch up I forgot what I wanted to say except that my favorite "fighting" song is "Come Out Ye Black and Tans" by The Fenians but that a lot of bands (including The Wolfe Tones and The Pogues) do a good version.
edit to say it wasn't written by The Fenians I just like their version. It dates back to the 1920s iirc
