Packing for Sundance right now- I am doing two sort of blogs (i guess that is what you call them) but they will be videos.- One for myspace here and one for kytetv.com- check back for both of those- I have no idea what to expect- especially since i imagine the place to now be struck by grief due to the untimely death of Heath Ledger- sadness.
Some have written asking for some set lists. I usually loose them at the end of the night but while packing I found two:
The Paradise (Nov. 07) Boston, MA- Don’t take your eyes off of me, boom boom, hollywood hills, peace of mind, grand opening, secret weapon, rise, down the drain, bi-polar baby, good 2 me, yesterday’s gone, madness, everybody wants to rule the world/can i eat the stars, dear grace, everybody knows this is nowhere, undone
Lizard Lounge (Jan 18th-08) Cambridge, MA- So do i, have to get you off of my mind, eliza, for nothing, boom boom, slow her down, hollywood hills, undone, don’t take your eyes off of me, peace of mind, down the drain
Other upcoming things- WERS live music week performance andPurevolume.com/virb.com studio sessions.
Something worth watching: The Story of Stuff
While sitting through a painful Celtics loss last night at the Boston Garden I came to one conclusion that I felt was worth sharing. And I know I don’t share a lot via the blog so this observation and conclusion may carry more weight that it is worth. Regardless, it started during the opening jump ball which was proceeded by the monumental opening riff of “welcome to the jungle” that ushered the players onto the court. The song, coming from what seemed like every inch of the Garden, was rattling my bones as if I were about to see the last and most important basketball game in history. It continued until the Wizards had possession of the ball! I thought it might just play throughout the game like a soundtrack and was slightly disappointed it didn’t. The crowd was sold and ready for blood. When it ended it was the difference from a Who concert and a field of crickets. Through the rest of the game when ever a time out came or the team was ready to take the court again we would hear anthems such as: “You Shook me All Night Long”, “Rock You Like A Hurricane” and “Kick Start My Heart”. None of which propelled the Celtics to a win. But they did race your blood from head to toe and make you think you were about to see something out of the movie RUDY. The monumental songs got me thinking, “Is there any better rock anthem than that which with ring out at sporting events for the next 100 years?” Then came “Ironman”, then “Kashmire”, “Rock and roll all night”. And the jumbotron camera panned around finding plenty of Bostonians in a blistful handbanging/dancing rage who would most likely agree. What other songs fit into this category? What plays at your sporting event?
