Ladies and gentlemen, there has not been a better show on earth in the past week as there was in Dallas, Texas.First, Bloc Party rolled into town bringing with them their amazing British sound. Even though I could not understand a single word he said between songs, their music is amazing. So much energy and crowd participation. They played all their hits and pretty much everything from Silent Alarm. Amazing!

Second, was Interpol. The only drawback of this show was the first band. This group from California called Liars. Ok, seriously, what was the Liars lead singer on? Acid? LSD? PCP? Crack? Regardless, the guy needs to tone down the spirit fingers and the vocal synth and turn up the volume in his mic. Horrible performance. However, Interpol was the total opposite. Great sound, lights, I can not stress this enough, check them out. You will not be disappointed.

"I haven’t slept for two days
I’ve bathed in nothing but sweat
And I’ve made hallways
Scenes for things to regret"

I still do not understand why these guys do not get a lot more airplay. They completely rock! Regardless, this is from the latest album "Our Love to Admire", which is absolutely great. Like most of their songs it’s about love and no love. However, if you look deeper perhaps you might see some sort of unhealthy obsession. Perhaps fleeting passage about a ‘chemical’ addiction.

This is why I love these guys and I’ll bee seeing them in concert in about 2 weeks.

~davidI haven’t slept for two days
I’ve bathed in nothing but sweat
And I’ve made hallways
Scenes for things to regret
My friends they come
And the lines they go by
Tonight I’m gonna rest my chemistry
Tonight I’m gonna rest my chemistry

I live my life in cocaine
Just some rage and three kinds of yes
And I’ve made stairways
Such scenes for things that I regret
Oh, those days in the sun
They bring a tear to my eye
Tonight I’m gonna rest my chemistry
Tonight I’m gonna rest my chemistry

But you’re so young
You’re so young
You look in my eyes
You’re so young, so sweet, so surprised

I see a sign, it says

The song title is Your Ex-Lover is Dead by the Stars, however there is a reworked piece of this song which starts with the title of this article. I found it both funny and telling of the song

Lyrically and musically this is an amazing song, it has been out for a few years, but has never really had any airplay. I think the lyrics speak for themselves.

~david

God, that was strange to see you again
Introduced by a friend of a friend
Smiled and said, "Yes, I think we’ve met before"
In that instant it started to pour

Captured a taxi despite all the rain
We drove in silence across Pont Champlain
And all of that time you thought I was sad
I was trying to remember your name

This scar is a fleck on my porcelain skin
You tried to reach deep but you couldn’t get in
And now you’re outside me, you see all the beauty
Repent all your sin

Nothing but time and a face that you’ll lose
I chose to feel it and you couldn’t choose
I’ll write you a postcard I’ll send you the news
From the house down the road from real love

Live through this and you won’t look back.
Live through this and you won’t look back.
Live through this and you won’t look back.

There’s one thing I have to say so I’ll be brave.
You were what I wanted I gave what I gave.
I’m not sorry I met you.
I’m not sorry it’s over.
I’m not sorry there’s nothing to say.
I’m not sorry there’s nothing to say.
I’m not sorry there’s nothing to say.

So, I’ve recently started listening to these guys and they have a couple of song that are just great. However, this has to be their best song so far and the video is pretty damn good.

I think this is another song that is very obvious on its meaning. Long distance relationships, a future that you wish you, and a woman that you’re madly in love with.

Hey there Delilah….

~dmaciasHey there Delilah
What’s it like in New York City
I’m a thousand miles away
But girl tonight you look so pretty
Yes you do
Time Square cant shine as bright as you
I swear it’s true

Hey there Delilah
Don’t you worry about the distance
I’m right there if you get lonely
Give this song another listen
Close your eyes
Listen to my voice it’s my disguise
I’m by your side

Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
What you do to me

Hey there Delilah
I know times are getting hard
But just believe me girl
Someday I’ll pay the bills with this guitar
We’ll have it good
We’ll have the life we knew we would
My word is good

Hey there Delilah
I’ve got so much left to say
If every simple song I wrote to you
Would take your breath away
I’d write it all
Even more in love with me you’d fall
We’d have it all

Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me

A thousand miles seems pretty far
But they’ve got planes and trains and cars
I’d walk to you if I had no other way
Our friends would all make fun of us
And we’ll just laugh along because we know
That none of them have felt this way
Delilah I can promise you
That by the time that we get through
The world will never ever be the same
And you’re to blame

Hey there Delilah
You be good and don’t you miss me
Two more years and you’ll be done with school
And I’ll be making history like I do
You know it’s all because of you
We can do whatever we want to
Hey there Delilah here’s to you
This one’s for you

Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
Oh it’s what you do to me
What you do to me
wooooohwooooooooh woooooooooh

Got a chance to see RHCP in concert this past weekend and once again they were great. They played all the classics and their light/video show was great. Last time I saw them it was at an open venue so there was no light/video show. If you ever get a chance to see them and you’re a fan, you will not be disappointed.

Probably one of my favorite tracks from the DCfC CD. I think the song speaks for itself love knows no end.

~davidLove of mine some day you will die
But I’ll be close behind
I’ll follow you into the dark

No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark
If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no’s on their vacancy signs

If there’s no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I’ll follow you into the dark

In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles brusied by a lady in black
And I held my toungue as she told me
"Son fear is the heart of love"
So I never went back

If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no’s on their vacancy signs

If there’s no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I’ll follow you into the dark

You and me have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
It’s nothing to cry about
Cause we’ll hold each other soon
The blackest of rooms

If heaven and hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the no’s on their vacancy signs

If there’s no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I’ll follow you into the dark
Then I’ll follow you into the dark

What would happen if Queen went emo? Well if you listen to MCR’s new album that is what would happen. Not as good as their previous album, but not bad either 3-4 good solid tracks. Of course the continuous singing about death and sadness can get a bit old, but then again these guys are targeting the angst of teens… So, why am I attracted to this type of music?

Regardless, MCR’s new stuff is not really worth full price, however $9.99 is not a bad price or just download a couple of tracks off itunes.

Song is about confusion, one of my favorite Counting Crows songs, which there are a ton. I recently saw them in concert and like usual they never disappoint. If you get a chance check them out.

Finally, check out the new The Killers cd Sam’s Town, not as great as their first, but not too bad and it worth a spin. Especially for 9.99 you can’t wrong.

~david maciasI am color…blind
Coffee black and egg white
Pull me out from inside
I am ready
I am ready
I am ready

I am
taffy stuck, tongue tied
Stuttered shook and uptight
Pull me out from inside
I am ready
I am ready
I am ready
I am…fine
I am covered in skin
No one gets to come in
Pull me out from inside
I am folded, and unfolded, and unfolding

I am
colorblind
Coffee black and egg white
Pull me out from inside
I am ready
I am ready
I am ready
I am…fine
I am…. fine
I am fine
