A Playlist.

Hello!

With the risk of sounding slightly morbid, tonight I am blogging about a death playlist. Over the summer my roomate and really close friend lost her mom. Personally, I am really bad with words, advice and condolences. I felt alot of emotions when I heard the news, but putting it into words is hard for me. Music on the other hand, is not. Over the past couple months I have been compiling a play list for her. Music for me means alot, and that's the way I express my emotions, whether happy, frustrated, angry or depressed, listening to a certain song means much more to me than many things. I had initially just sent my friend one song, and by her reaction I knew she knew that this song was what I was trying to say but couldn't. That song is track one of the playlist. The rest of the playlist are songs she will be receiving soon. I hope this playlist can help anyone out there who is coping with a loss.

Concert Review: Fleet Foxes, and The Walkmen.

Band- Fleet Foxes and The Walkmen
Date - September 10, 2011
Location - The Greek Theater, Berkeley, California

Preconceived Thought of the Bands-
     I can't say anything mean about Fleet Foxes. I love their first album and their second is better produced and composed. They experimented with their sounds and instrumentation which gives them a unique signature sound that a lot of bands don't have now. My friends saw them two years ago with Blitzen Trapper at the Fox Theater, and with confidence they stated that it was the best concert they have ever been to. So my expectations were extremely high. I also thought for their style of music it would be a very intimate setting with little or no stage presence. 
     I did not know that The Walkmen opened for them, and for a moment I was quite confused at this tour package. From what I heard, they sound more edgy, more punk rock than the acoustic atmosphere of Fleet Foxes. Their music is more upbeat and has more electric guitar. I only have their newest one, so I was looking forward to listen to their old catalog.
