Summer concert update...

It's been awhile since I've blogged, but it's not because I've been sitting on my ass. It's been crazy-busy at work, and the weekends have been pretty crazy too. Brad and I have slipped into summer concert high-gear. We saw NIN at Jones Beach last weekend--what a f*@#ing amazing show. I mean, Jesus Christ. It was out of control how amazing every single somg sounded. I was super psyched because not only did they do all the good stuff off of the latest record, With Teeth, they did all the amazing NIN we know and love--including two somewhat obscure songs, "Get Down, Make Love," and "Dead Souls" (which is actually a Joy Division cover)--just one more reason why I love NIN so much and have ever since back in the Pretty Hate Machine Days...

Anyway, we also saw A.F.I. this past Friday at Roseland. Brad's friend Jen works for the label and scored us awesome seats, so we were actually sitting in the balcony and not down below in all of the mess, which was a good thing because honestly, I thought the kids in the pit were going to take someone's head off it was so crazy. A.F.I. was really impressive. I wasn't expecting them to sound better live than they do on their records, but that was exactly what they did and they put on an amazing, high energy show. My favorite moment was at the end of the show when the singer, Davey Havok, actually came into the crowd and was standing (I think on people's shoulders) as he was singing. It was an amazing show.

Upcoming concerts...belive it or not, Brad and I are sort of on a cheese-metal kick, so I think we're going to see Poison and Cinderella (I LOVE Cinderella) in August and then Aerosmith and Motley Crue in September. Very cool!
