Hey,
So, last night I went to the Grouplove/YTG concert. This concert was at the same venue as the Panic! at The Disco fiasco, but it's not jinxed. Rather, YTG was the polar opposite of PATD. Sameer, the lead singer, did not talk in between songs, he just went from song to song. We were out of the venue in an hour or so from when Young The Giant began performing. Loved it! :)
Grouplove, on the other hand, sucked. They were just awful. Awful, awful, awful. The best part of their set: it ended. Eventually. We came 20 minutes late, mostly because I hate them, and for a good reason. Why exactly? Their harmonies were big fails. Epic fails. They tried so hard, but failed with the same intensity. They were out of key. Ugh, big pet peeve of mine. They danced around like they were drunk idiots--which they probably were--whipping their respective heads like they were taking part in a re-shoot for Willow Smith's "Whip my Hair" music video. I think, if they would stop moving and dancing, they might (emphasis on might) be good. They're showboats, frankly, and until they loose that attitude, I won't see them again.
The best part of the night: YTG! They were amazing! I love bands that sound the exact same from the studio to the CD to the stage. Francois (the drummer) provided feverish, memorable beats that carried the songs. The 2 guitarists and the bassist complemented each other. While Sameer's wide vocal range was awe-inspiring. Their songs are infectious. The entire crowd was moving (or taping their feet, like me!) the whole duration of the set. You could tell the crowd was having as much fun as the band. They began the concert with "I Got," into "Guns Out" (Gotta love Sameer's falsetto), then "Shake my Hand" (which was a song they wrote back when they were The Jakes. Super addictive song. Check it out on YouTube), "What You Get" (a new track. It's supposed to be on the new album which will be coming out next Spring. Such a long wait! Good song, though. If the album sounds like that, I'll buy it the day it comes out), " 12 Fingers" (Sameer explained, during his one talk break, that this song is about having 12 Fingers. "I Wanna" (Another track. Beautiful! The title reminds me of the All American Rejects song of the same name, though YTG's is better) "Strings" (one of my favorite tracks by them; I think it was one of the first I bought. Catchy, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. Download it!) "Camera" (another new track. I liked this one a lot; it gave me goosebumps, which essentially means I love it) "St. Walker" (haha Saint Walker. Oh, my stupidity! Anyways, fantastic way to end the main part of the concert. Best song. I love the minor key, the building guitar part, and the rhythms supplied by Francois). After that, the encore! First, "Apartment" (so many memories with this one. I remember dancing around my kitchen, singing into a wooden spoon, butchering the lyrics, but having fun. haha I'm a dorky teenager, remember? I love the accidentals), "Islands" (eh, not my fav song by them; it's too slow for their typically infectious bass lines), and finally "My Body" (For one, I love this song! It's fast, it's catchy, it's infectious. Very YTG. Now, I love it even more because of the crowd. Everyone, except for me, cuz I'm a buzz-killer, was jumping up and down, blocking my view of the adorable Sameer, which was funny. Energetic crowd. I loved it."
The crowd was passionate, but not super immature; I appreciated that. :) I am short, though, and found myself having to sway a bit to get a decent view of the band and I always wish I'm about 3 inches taller than i am. Oh, well, it was still a fantastic concert, and I can't believe I got to see them!
If they're coming to your city, go see them! They are fantastic. They really do know how to put on a live show. Oh, it's safe to take a parent with you. ;)
For the next two weeks I'll have a normal reviews, but on April 19th, I'm going to see Eric Hutchinson with Graffiti6. I'm hoping to get pictures this time. *cross fingers* It should be good, I hope. No more PATD-like experiences. :)
Unil next week,
Bella

Random Songs You Should Know
Well, aren't you lucky! You're getting 2 posts this week, instead of just one.
This first post is going to be as random as they come, quite honestly. No, I'm not going to whine about the downfall of music as we know it or brag about the fact that it's Justin Beiber's birthday and I haven't listened to a single song of his all day long. (Scratch that, in celebration, I'm suffering through Never Say Never...why did I think this was a good idea?)
Nope, instead of that boring stuff, I'll just talk about some songs that I like/new artists. My second most will be a review of Fun.'s new album--awesomeness in MP3 form, if you ask me, which you did not, but I am supplying my answer anyway.
Random song 1: Bittersweet by Panic! At the Disco
Yes, this is the exact same band that I ranted about last week, and while I'm not particularly thrilled with the boys in their personal lives, I can appreciate that they are fabulous musicians. This song was a bonus track off their last album Vices and Virtues, and should probably have been an actual track on the album; it's that good. Things I like: the fade in, the catchy guitar riffs in the beginning, the back-up vocals (very doo-wop esque), the twisting and turning lyrics (My favorite place/is the warm embrace/of holding your hair back/in a bathroom stall...maybe it's just me, but I did NOT see that coming. They're pretty good at that) and the point in the song when Brendon switches from a higher octave to a much lower octave than he typically sings in. I approve, boys.
Random song 2: Somebody That I Used to Know By Walk Off the Earth (originally by Gotye)
One of my favorite songs ever and now one of my favorite covers. I love how it's just a bunch of random people playing a guitar, looking totally bad doing it too. The girl has a beautiful voice. Granted, it's not Kimbra's voice, but I've heard worse. Just look around YouTube and you'll find thousands of people who cannot sing a single correct note. So, I give these people lots of credit.
Random song 3: Magic by The Knocks and Gary Go
I have to confess: I heard this song in Hollister, so it's not exactly undiscovered talent, but it's catchy. Gary Go, I have heard of, but not The Knocks. A couple of years ago, I heard "Wonderful" Gary Go, but kind of forgot about him. He has some mean vocals on this track, even with the unnecessary auto-tune like sound and the ridiculous vocal effects. I realize that last sentence makes me sound like I hate the song; I don't. It's like tampered-with-alternative music. Some people might say this is pop/dance and others will say alternative. I say: shut up and enjoy the song. :)
Random song 4: Do Better by Say Anything
This song came from putting Spotify's radio option. At first, it was kind of like eh, but I kept listening to it and it grew on me. My favorite line is: "Life is not a spark in space/an episode of Will & Grace...Debra's Messing with your brain." Genius!
Random song 5: Making Me Nervous by Brad Sucks
Number one: I love the band's name. Number two: love how simple the track is. Number three: This song does not make me nervous
Random song 6: St. Walker by Young the Giant
I am sucker for a minor key and a crazy good base-line. When I read the title for the very first time, I thought St. stood for Saint and so I was like, "Cool, Saint Walker. Somehow I missed his name in history class." Then, I listened to the song and realized he meant street walker. Gotcha. Anyways, despite all my stupidity, it's a fantabultastic song...no, that's a dictionary word. Probably should be...but it's not. Thumbs up! (30 Days until the Young The Giant Concert with Grouplove...review for sure. It's at the same venue as Panic! At the Disco; let's pray it goes better this time! I hope that venue is not cursed! What can I say? I'm superstitious. Think about it, you were too at one point in your life.)
Random song 7: Mundian to Bach Ke by Panjabi MC
Don't laugh at me! I have a strange, varying taste in music. This is hardly alternative or new, but I rediscovered this song last week and remembered how much I like this song. It kind of makes me want to learn how to do Bollywood dance. You might recall that this song was in Stick It, that movie from nearly four years ago with Kellan Lutz (Emmett Cullen in Twilight...Did I mention I'm a Twi-Hard too? I should have. Don't worry; I've calmed down quite a bit. :D).
Random song 8: {LAST ONE!} Easy Way Out by Gotye
This song is infectious. I sense some Beatles/70's influences in this track and love it. The first Beatles' song that came to mind was "Day Tripper." What do you think? It's different how the vocals are almost hushed throughout the verses and then gradually gets louder throughout the chorus. The music video is, well, kind of like watching one of those ridiculous Indie movies where you waste hours (or minutes in this case) trying to figure out what is happening, why it is happening, and what is the significance. Also, does that mean he's dead? Crazy musicians...

Alternative Music Videos...Hey, we gotta figure out new things to talk about besides the boring stuff. :)
Hey!
If you are anything like me, you like watching music videos because it gives a visual to the song. I am a visual learner, in case you weren't totally positive.
So, here are 3 of my favorite music videos with my worthless commentary:
1) Somebody That I Used to Know by Gotye ft. Kimba
Watch the video here
0:00 Cool, nice feet
0.06 hairy legs
0:10 Hmmm, something tells me this guy isn't wearing any clothes
0:12 Nope no clothes
0:18 Can I be stupid for a second and say that he has nice eyes?
0:29 I like how low-budget these alt/indie vids are. It's free to roam around naked and so far he's just staring
0:50 Someone's been using crayons on the wall...naughty
0:56 That someone is probably not four years old...those are complicated geometric shapes
1:00 I love that effect! It's kind of liked stop-motion, all the squares are magically colored in
1:27 We are now reallllllly close to his face
1:38 Uh-oh, someone's painting on him
1:39 Nice belly-button shot, btw
1:51 Looks like Lady Gag-Me's Makeup for a sec :)
2:13 He reminds me of this creepy clown I saw once; when I saw him, I ran the other direction
2:15 I wonder what it would be like if that paint accidentally got in your mouth...yuck?
2:22 He probably had to practice not blinking
2:28 Sweet, now it's a naked lady painted just like him. Is the nudist-paint-canvas meeting?
2:33 She kinda looks like a prettier, less slutty Katy Perry...sounds like her too
2:51 Aww, that's sweet. He's closing his eyes to make it a little less awkward for her. Or he's in pain
3:06 I love the harmony. Reminds me of The Civil Wars
3:31 "Aw, nah! She's leaving me." yeah, it's probably time to go find some clothes
3:37 The pain of the breakup is too painful; all the paint must come off.
3:44 I think she's been ex-communicated from the meeting; you have to be dating hot musicians to join
3:56 Awkward sexual tension...
4:03 Black screen
Summary: Very cool, unique vid highlighting a fantastic song with hautnting harmonies and a guy with nice eyes
Song 2# Spotlight (Oh Nostalgia) by Patrick Stump
0:02 I remembering playing on monkey bars like those when I was in elementary school.
0:08 That guy is too good. I usually just hobble around on my pogo stick. "look ma, two hands!"
0:16 Helloooooo, Patrick
0:21 Hm, my helmets were never that cool.
0:26 Not gonna lie, at first i those those were either weapons or bombs
0:34 He's more flexible than I am. Not good. *Time to stretch*
0:54 Awwww, no way! That cannot be possible
1:10 I love how minimalist this video is. He probably went around and just found a bunch of cool people to follow around. An artist who is not so full of themselves that they can highlight other people. Five bucks says Rihanna or Ke$ha never will. Camera hogs...
1:12 Jealous!
1:15 Talent...talent...amazed
1:21 Okay, so that kid's a little better on the monkey bars than I am
1:27 Little Pig Girl, you are killer with that skateboard. The last time I tried it, I fell off after 3 seconds and spent the next 5 minutes laughing
1:33 O...M...G It's extreme Pogo-Sticker Boy. That would make a cool TLC special. (Hey, they did the Virgin Diaries, why not cool Pogo Stick people?)
1:35 I used to think that talent was stupid, but after this video, I'm kind of totally impressed. You go, Stacker Dude!
1:43 It's a ninja!
1:44 Don't steal her food, clothes, money, or even look at her the wrong way. Yikes
1:47 Pencil Man's pretty good at this. That takes serious dexterity
1:50 I like Mr. Yo-Yo. I'm just as good as him; I know one trick. It's okay to be jealous...
1:56 See how Patrick failed; that's me, just in Patrick form
1:59 Best part of the whole video. I love how he's laughing and trying not to stare. Cute girl, btw
2:02 Okay, he's better than me and 80% of the population. Go Patrick!
2:05 Um, impressive but nauseating
2:07 Superman!
2:17 Now that's talent on the pole. Take that, pole dancers. This guy is talented! Big time!
2:31 Looks nice, Pat. Just whack that thing around and pretend you're intimidating. I'm scared...if that helps.
2:35 I could never figure out the pattern you're supposed to follow
2:39 What a cool dog!
2:57 Love this guy! Anyone have his number?
3:06 WOAH!!! (thanks for not squishing Patrick, btw)
3:32 Most talented group in the video (I think I'm even qualified to join!!!)
3:59 Cool ending!
Summary: Catchy song and cool thought process. I like whoever thought about going around and finding talented people. It's different and I like different. :) You can watch the video here
Song 3# Cough Syrup by Young the Giant
0:02 I think we're under water
0:07 Yep, because guitarists and musicians like to play their instruments in front of the pool. Water needs music too
0:09 Ooooh, Sameer! I love him. Marry me, por favor?
0:11 A fish tank?
0:21 Hello. Nice swimsuits.
0:22 Food dye always makes water much prettier
0:26 Kinda looks like bubbles
0:32 I like the bouncy bassist
0:38 LOTS of food dye. Much more fun
0:41 Bouncy
0:49 Food dye must have been on sale
0:53 Good for you, chicka! be a non-conformist; we have much more fun
0:57 Fun colors
1:06 Time to swim!
1:10 I have so much respect for people that can do that
1:28 Hey, they moved!
1:51 This is where science gets cool
2:05 Wonder how they got the sunglasses to stay glued to their faces...
2:09 "Just keep swimming. Just keep swimming..." (Sorry, couldn't resist as Dory reference)
2:16 Kickboards are very fashionable
2:18 Oh, that's a cool effect
2:27 I'm thinking, oh, at least 50% off. Or their budget was like 100,000 dollars
2:37 Birds!
2:38 I'm reminded of that anatomy picture where it's the dude with like 3 arms and legs
2:52 I wonder how much practicing it took to get that just right
2:54 Look at him! He feels the music. $303 dollars says Chris Brown doesn't feel his; mostly cuz his lyrics are all about money and sexing up the ladies
3:05 Do I even want to ask?
3:09 Ugh, I'm confused
3:13 Smoke, I see, smoke
3:15 That's probably how Ke$ha takes a bath
3:18 Prettier than Ke$ha
3:31 That looks like a lot of fun
3:55 The smoke disappeared
3:58 It's that cool reverse trick.
4:02 Oh, Sameer!
4:08 It's over already? I like it when you were staring at the camera, looking right into my eyes...sigh...
Summary: A music video that meets several criteria:
1) Hot lead singer
2) Takes place at a pool
3) Showcases a talent of some sort
4) Has members of the band that actually look like they want to be there
5) Uses dye
6) Is entertaining
Watch the video here
Well, I hope you enjoyed my commentary, I'm always trying to think of ideas for new posts, so if you think of something interesting, comment or e-mail me. I love feedback!
Until next week,

3:32 Most talented group in the video (I think I'm even qualified to join!!!)
3:59 Cool ending!
Summary: Catchy song and cool thought process. I like whoever thought about going around and finding talented people. It's different and I like different. :) You can watch the video here
