Bloc Party & Interpol Concerts

Ladies and gentlemen, there has not been a better show on earth in the past week as there was in Dallas, Texas.

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’ve bathed in nothing but sweat
And I’ve made hallways
Scenes for things to regret"

The Flu, the Aggies, and Banana Buttermilk Pancakes

It has been an interesting two weeks. Last week I spent most of it in bed. I came down with the flu and it was the worst I’ve ever had it. I tried to battle through it on Monday and Tuesday, which was not a good idea. Then on Wednesday and Thursday I didn’t get out of bed. I literally slept for 48 hours. I didn’t eat anything at all, just water and the occasional nature call would get me out of bed. Then on Friday I had 3 soccer games. Usually, I’m one to skip a game if I’m under the weather, however these were championship games and I had to play. :-) Needless to say, I did pretty good and we won 2 out of 3. Good times. However, I paid for it for the next two days. It probably was not until this week where I started feeling 100%. Now, I’m not one to take a lot of drugs, but

However, I paid for it for the next two days. It probably was not until this week where I started feeling 100%. Now, I’m not one to take a lot of drugs, butI’m seriously considering taking the flu shot this year. My mother has always told me to take for years, however I just don’t see why you should take medicine when you’re not sick. However, after my last episode I’m going to give it a try and see how it goes.

Now, I’ve been on a banana buttermilk pancake kick. I love this stuff and I must say, I make some pretty mean pancakes. I might post my recipe.

Finally, the Aggies were embarrassed by Miami last night (09/20/2007). I didn’t get a chance to watch it, I was doing some volunteer work. However, I was getting text message updates from a couple of people at the game and around Texas. I think it’s time for a change of coaching staff. Regardless… We are the Aggies, the Aggies are we…

Interpol – My Chemistry

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
