Ooh La La Lollapalooza 2011

Amanda Davis — Mon, 22 Aug 2011 13:23:10 +0000

This year I made my second trip to Lollapalooza and per usual it failed to disappoint. Thinking back to 2 years ago at Lolla I remember one band that stood out to me as the best of the day. It was raining all day and everyone was muddy, disgusted from all day porta potty use - but very happy because all of us music lovers were together listening to beautiful sounds. With the rain we all sang along to the tunes of Bon Iver. You’ve heard this before so I won’t go into too much detail except to say that I had another magical moment this year. It’s that moment that you hear a song for the first time and you immediately know it, like know it. That probably doesn’t make sense but I think the best songs are ones that you hear for the first time and immediately respond to. You have no doubt when you buy their cd that it is going to be amazing and that’s what happened with Young the Giant. I could hear their music from far away and walking up towards their stage I just had this surge of happiness inside. They are EVERY bit as good live as their cd which really is saying something – It’s not just their production company that makes them good -they really are that good. Their music is fun, definitely west coast, and may I say that Sameer is ridiculously cute? Two more things for brownie points: 1) They are touring right now with Incubus 2) In March they headlined the Billboard Showcase at South by Southwest. Just another reason to go to Austin this year!

Other AMAZING Lolla bands:

Two Door Cinema Club

Grace Potter and the Nocturnals – I talked mostly about Young the Giant but they were my second favorite of the day

Bright Eyes

White Lies

Foster the People

Wye Oak - WO had some electrical problems her first time at Lolla but man was she cute. Like her a lot.

2011 Grammy’s were Redonkulous

Amanda Davis — Tue, 15 Feb 2011 15:23:23 +0000

Perhaps it was just me, but the Grammy’s were pretty darn awesome this year. Besides Taylor Swift not being there of course. Arcade Fire won album of the year?? Their performance was both weird and awesome at the same time. Best new artist was not Bieber, but Esperanza Spalding?? Where did this awesome gal even come from? These Grammy organizers really know what’s up. But BY FAR the best performance of the night was from Mumford & Sons and The Avett Brothers. I felt like I was seeing them at a local bar. Loved the stage set up. If you missed it, check it out…

JukeBox the Ghost

So a good friend of mine, Mr. Vince Eagan, sent me an email earlier this week to check out this band: Jukebox the Ghost. He’s got good taste in pretty much everything, so I clicked the link and listened away. Low and behold, good music! He had seen them on Letterman and thought they were good, bought their cd, and now we will be partaking in their delightful music tonight at Radio Radio. Fingers crossed he ever gets back to me so I have a date. Anyways, I just thought I would share with you the link so that you can do the same. Buy their cd and go out to Radio Radio tonight to see them. Ticket’s are only $8. Do it to it!

Amanda Davis — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 17:42:13 +0000

Hardest. Thing. Ever. So I am recruiting help. Of course Edwin will be in there somewhere. I’m just trying to decide on the perfect song. And probably a Counting Crows song as well. Here is what I’ve definitely decided on so far….

I Will – The Beatles

Come Around – Rosi Golan

Today – Josh Radin

Gotta Have You – The Weepies

That’s it. I need help people!! Is there a good song for when the parents are being ushered down the aisle?? Can’t find the perfect one. Any ideas??
