Rocking & Rolling
July 29, 2007 at 11:12 am | In fun & frolicking, hip to be square | 7 CommentsI had a concert-riffic weekend. Judging from the types of music I saw, you can probably figure I have fairly eclectic taste. I’ve included some videos of each so you can have sample.
Ryan Adams and The Cardinals – Two
Ryan Adams is a musical genius but damn if he didn’t put on a boring show. The ten sentences he uttered were indecipherable and the venue was as hot as Hades. Plus, he started 50 minutes late.
“Memories of you/That I just don’t have right now/I’ll make them up/One cup of wanting you/Two cups of hoping somehow/These things come true/While I’m staring at pictures of you/While I’m staring at pictures of you/Yearning/Longing/Making up memories of you/Making up memories of you/For now.. your picture will do…”-Memories of You, Ryan Adams
Against Me!- Don’t Lose Touch.
These guys rocked the Capitol Hill Block Party. Sometimes I just need a little punk rock. And by sometimes, I mean all the time.
“Please tell me why we couldn’t stay/Don’t let this feeling ever go away/Let this memory forever be inside of me/Through every hour of every day/It’s with the company of these friends/That we drove on through the night/we were carried by the wheels of armageddon./We’re gonna force ourselves to live/Thankful it’s hurt more than we’ve ever felt/It’s just our means to an end. . .” -We Did It All For Don, Against Me!
Spoon- I Turn My Camera On
I was just turned onto the grooves of Spoon. They put on a great show. He doesn’t usually sing in falsetto but this is my sister’s favorite tune. (Shout out Dokey!)
“Things everybody would say/Believing is hard/Believing is art/Things everybody/Should know/The end will come slow/And love breaks your heart. . .” -Believing is Art, Spoon

Hey! (begin commentary…)
The first one, Ryan Adams sounds alot like Neil Young! Definitely a familiar sound to him, which I likey! Is this clip indicative of his style overall?
MMmm.

P.S. My other fave Spoon songs: Two Sides of Monsieur Valentine, I Summon You, The Way We Get By… I haven’t got the new one yet though.
