So last night I went to see Blink 182, (half of) Panic! At The Disco, and Fall Out Boy with my Summer Boy, and 29,998 other people! There was another opener that we missed, but since I don't remember their name I'm guessing it wasn't crucial. It was a lot of fun--the weather was nice, the music was good, the company was fun. Things of note:

-FOB sound KILLER live. They were probably my favorite band of the night. They did a cover of Don't Stop Believing with Brendon from Panic that was SO FUN.

-Panic was enjoyable but they, in my opinion, sound different live than they do on CD. There were a few songs I didn't think sounded great, but it was super fun regardless :D

***Direct quote from Panic via Brendon Urie: "We like fucking. Sometimes girls, sometimes each other..." I know there are people on my flist who will appreciate this!***

-Blink also sounded kind of different live. I couldn't really concentrate because by this point there were a TON of drunk people staggering around and it was making me a little uncomfortable.

-I also found someone's blackberry on the ground, and after the show, a very very grateful girl gave me 20 bucks and a giant hug for returning it! Which was nice, because of course I was going to do it anyway, but I am broke enough to not say no. So in a way this story does end with "And then I found $20", haha.

All in all a really great night! Also the tickets were free (a birthday present from SB's mom), and I just had a whole ton of fun. I love big concerts--there's something magical about that many people all gathered in one place for the same reason.

17 songs under the cut. They can be downloaded below or are all available here.

Frankenmix for June!


Basically, each month [livejournal.com profile] calikali puts out ten prompts for songs and anyone who wants to play can, so I encourage all of you to give it a try! It's pretty fun. :)

I'm also trying out a new upload host, box.net--let me know what you think. I like it because you can remove your files when you want, and not before, and also because those downloading the file can listen to the song first and decide if they like it or not.


16 songs under the cut! )

Let me know if you download anything, yeah?

So, [livejournal.com profile] hackthis just did a really cool thing. She uploaded a mix of songs, by random prompts. I don't know where she got the prompts, but they combined to make a super mix. So, flist, if you give me prompts, I'll upload a mix, too. I'll take the first 15, say. And it's to your best interest to give me a prompt or two, because, hey! More music uploaded!

ETA: I am informed that this is actually a monthly thing with the prompts given by [livejournal.com profile] calikali. And so next month I'll use her prompts, but for now I'm going to continue with this. Yay, music. :)


For reference, here are the ones she used, just to give you an idea.

Have at it! :)

Ahahah, I posted this top part before, but I forgot the actual reason I was going to post and got distracted by the shiny music meme. :P

Hey, flist! Go here and do this!. Upload a song that reminds you of me! Then post your name so I can upload songs for you, too.


And now for the actual point of the post! I had state solo-ensemble for band today, and, meh. I really wish I hadn't signed up, because I didn't really want to do it (and also I missed the pot chat last night because I had to practice scales!!) so I didn't put the effort in that I needed to.

If I had just had to play my solo I would have been fine, but I had to play scales and do sight reading too (Sight reading, for non band people, is when you're given a short piece of music you've never seen before. You get sixty seconds to look at it, then have to play it.). And, all three components were weighted equally. That dragged me down from the I (excellent) into the II (good). I played the solo really well, maybe even, dare I say it, perfectly. I did all right on the sight reading. There were some tempo and dynamic things I could have done more of, and I messed up a few rhythms, but you could definitely tell I was playing the right song. The scales didn't go so well. Luckily, they didn't ask me for either of my weakest two, and that helped, but I did some dumb things. Like playing a D Major when they asked for D Minor. Whoops!

I ended up with a II, which is about a B in grade terms.It's OK. Nothing great, but nothing to be ashamed of, either. And it's done with now, so I don't need to worry about it anymore.

Do the meme thing!!

I have been quiet lately because I've been trying to pretend that I didn't just lose a good 700 songs off my hard drive. I've found around 200 on cd and can/have reriped, but others are just gone. If you want to help me out with any of these, I would be really, sincerely grateful.

The full list of everything I lost and haven't been able to rerip (500 songs) )

I want all of my songs back--songs don't last long on my computer if I don't like them--but, there are also some I want more than others.

The songs I reallyreally want back (about 100) )

So, there you have it. *sigh*

ETA: You people are wonderful. I've striked the ones I've recieved in the top list for posterity's sake, and earased the ones in the bottom list for quick perusal. Thank you all so, so much.
