So, last night I went and saw Vanessa Carlton live, with Graham Colton. What a performance!
Sadly, most performers tend to sell-out, or not be as interactive with their fans.
Graham Colton played a cover of “I won’t back down” by Tom Petty, and half way through the song he cracked up laughing, and the audience cheered and laughed with him. He joked around about how his ex girlfriend was a “bitch” and he joked about how everyone needed to buy a C.D.
Now if he was not playing at The Crocodile Cafe in Seattle, which is a small venue, then more than likely he would not have been as unserious.
But luckily small venues still exist.
Here is ‘Here Right Now’ by Graham Colton, the entire album up for download for free : Tracks on ‘Here Right Now’ by Graham Colton

Vanessa Carlton was stunning. She opened with ‘Nolita Fairytale’ off of her new album, but also played such songs as ‘White Houses, Thousand Miles, and Heroes & Thieves” She had a good 70 minute performance at the minimum, and was such an entertainer. I thought she was mainstream, but performing in front of say, eh, 400 people at a small cafe doesn’t seem very mainstream to me. She stopped playing mid way through a song, because the pedal was too squeaky. She must have said the ‘F’ word 20 times, and this was an all ages show, so little kids were there, but she apologized. I love how she was open with her life and her opinions.
It was a great show.
So if you are like most people, then you want the new iPod Touch or iPhone.
I am
like most people… so I bought one. The Apple stores were sold out of course, so I checked Wal-Mart. Yep, they had them.
I bought an 8gb iPod Touch, with a 2 year extended warranty, since this was my first iPod bought brand new, two iPods later after buying them on craigslist, I realized that I need a warranty.
The cost was $ 343.45 after tax. I went home, and I felt so excited I couldn’t contain myself. So I got it ready, read the entire manual, in anticipation of plugging it into my computer. I plugged it in, but my Windows XP Service Pack V.2 wasn’t installed.
I searched for help on forums for about an hour, then found out Download.com had what I needed.
I downloaded XP Service Pack 1, which took about 45 minutes, then installed XP Service Pack 2, which took about two hours… That STILL didn’t work, and I was getting frusterated.
I uninstalled iTunes entirely, and reinstalled it.
One hour later, my computer recognized the iPod Touch.
NEXT dilemma with my iPod Touch: I still had 11 GB of music, after clearing all the videos and songs I will probably never listen to again, on my computer. I made a playlist with 7.7 GB, but the iPod Touch could only hold like 7.5 GB, so everything past Tech N9NE was gone (Vanessa Carlton, Van Morrison, White Stripes, etc.) But thats okay, because I still have tons of music, AND YouTube, right?… WRONG
I started walking to school, music sounded good, cover flow was cool even with like 10 album covers haha. But the YouTube/ Internet didn’t work. No Wi-Fi was anywhere without a password. I get to school, and the school has locked Wi-Fi. Most people thought it was cool, which I found out was a main reason why I bought it. I ended up going home, extremely dissapointed that I forked out 350 dollars for something that couldn’t hold my music, couldn’t go on the internet anywhere but Starbucks or McDonalds, anywhere else there is computer access, so why bother?
To top it all off, it scratches easy. The iPod Touch is not scratch proof on the back. The back should be presentable, so without a case, the back will be so easily scratched its not even funny. The front doesn’t scratch, but it smudges really easily. It looked the way my iPod Video did after a month of use, in just one day of light use.
Wal-Mart gave me a FULL refund, and was nice about it.
The Pros:
Looks great.
Flicking music makes you feel cool.
Battery life seems pretty superior to other iPods.
The Cons:
Too thin.
Smudges too easily.
Wi-Fi is nowhere to be found.
The cost.
The small size of 8GB.
And of course… NO pre installed games!
The Band of Horses includes members of the band Carissa’s Weird, which was a great indie success.
Members include:
Ben Bridwell
Rob Hampton
& Creighton Barrett
Last night, October 6th, they played a MySpace Secret Show at The Vera Project in Seattle, WA. I JUST found out about it today, one day late! Ugh I am so sad. I had to work anyways though, so I wouldn’t have been able to go.
Thousands tried to pack their way into the venue, but it wouldn’t hold anywhere near the people that wanted to get in… for free by the way, all MySpace Secret Shows are free.
B.O.H are on a nation-wide tour right now, with playing such cities as L.A, Chicago, N.Y, Seattle, Miami, etc. They are reaching about every state, which is nice if you live in like South Dakota or some out of the way state like that.
The new C.D is out October 9th, and there are a few songs of the album on their MySpace page, if you want to listen to the new stuff. The new stuff sounds similar, but the lyrics didn’t get old at all. The sound always seems to be something new as well, so I think we are all in for a great treat.
