A few take aways... 1. I guess I really do listen to Led Zeppelin that much... 2. I can't believe ska has been dethroned in my musical tastes.. but I guess I am listening to A LOT more punk as of late. 3. I pretty much only listen to Los Tigres Del Norte when drunk and they are #5... #Spotify2014 spotify.com/2014

You got to keep them separated
Our front yard is a nightly carousel of World Star material.
Yesterday some chick blocked off the intersection and honked for 20 minutes. The police eventually showed up and broke up a fight between her and her boyfriend. Quote of the night: "This isn't the first time I've had to deal with you two. Maybe you're just not meant to be together, ever thought of that?" -the police officer.
Today, two girls came and had a ridiculous battle with the neighbor's girls in which several ice cream bars were thrown. The fight persisted until the police showed up and broke them up... and they're back... welp.
I wonder what cray shit will happen tomorrow.

Never Give Your Heart Away
Just got home from a great Tokyo Ska Paradise Orchestra concert and I should probably go to bed, but I am too hyped up on energy drinks so here's a quick review instead.
To put it bluntly, Skapara was amazing live. Great musical abilities, great showmanship and all around great performers.
They opened up the gig with a cover of The Godfather's Love theme and immediately infused the crowd with energy, which would last and increase in intensity the rest of the show.
Highlights include a cover of Cafe Tacvba's Eres, Franki Valli's Can't Take My Eyes Off You, Beethoven's 9th (Ode to Joy), Pride of Lions, and Skaravan, which was the encore.

Seeing Double at the Triple Rock by NOFX
I'm a religious drunk and this is where I pray.
The church of alcoholics can't break up the congregation.
Give us air to breathe through carbonation.
We are at liquor church genuflecting on bar stools.
We're praying that the taps will keep the holy water flowing.
Key kicks of communion, then a long night of confessions.
Coming home after noon seems to raise a lot of questions.
Love this verse.

These past few weeks have been ridiculously stressful to the point were my eyes are starting to randomly twitch... pretty sure that's not normal. Too bad I have no time to see the optometrist.
It's just me and you, Streetlight, for the next 2 weeks until these goddamn midterms are over. You've gotten me through worse, lets do this.
I've got a lot to do, I've got a lot to be, and in the end maybe you'll see me there.

1. Don't Stop Skankin' Tour
Caught Reel Big Fish' tour this past Friday with a good friend. I had not seen these guys in a few years. I believe the last time I saw RBF was in 2009. The Fish did not disappoint. They're amazing live performers. Every single RBF show I've been to sounds like a CD recording, and I mean that as a compliment. If you've never seen them live and love pop punk, 3rd wave ska goodness, they are a must see!
Their set-list was awesome. They opened up with Everyone Else Is An Asshole off their new CD, which I am not the biggest fan of, but primarily stuck with old fan favorites like Beer, Sell Out, and Where Have You Been? I was a little disappointed that Matt Wong, Dan Reagan, and Scott are gone and so are a lot of their cheesy jokes and staples. However, Dan did show up during the encore for a kick ass rendition of 241.
The first two opening bands were alright. Walked into the venue as The Maxies were playing their last song. Mighty Mongo played next and I found them to be too poppy for my tastes. I'm not a big fan of synth or keytars mixed with ska. The Pietasters played next and they rocked, as usual. Gotta love them soulful, rocksteady, ska beats.
