So... Instead of having MORE Gaia time when school let out, I seem to be on less and less. That's most likely because my music obsession has reached new heights and has essentially consumed my life. I have like four or five concerts that I'm going to next two months, and several CDs I have countdowns going on for. I went to an AMAZING concert late last month, with Forever the Sickest Kids/The Cab/The Maine/Danger Radio/Metro Station. <333 I'd recommend checking all of them out if you haven't already (well.... minus Metro Station; they're just okay).
Concerts that I have tickets for, in case anyone cares:
7/3: Warped Tour
7/13: Cute is What We Aim For, Powerspace, Danger Radio, Ace Enders
7/25: The Maine, Good Charlotte
8/11: The Hush Sound, The Cab, Steel Train, The Morning Light
And there's apparently going to be a tour with All Time Low and The Maine sometime this fall. And a Forever The Sickest Kids/Cobra Starship/Hit the Lights tour has also been confirmed. And I think The Academy Is... is touring after their Australia tour and CD release.
On July 8th, two albums are coming out that I'm really excited for:
Danger Radio - "Used and Abused"
The Maine - "Can't Stop, Won't Stop"
LOL @ MY LIFE.
I COULD GO ON ABOUT THESE FOREVER, BUT I HAVE THE LATEST ISSUE OF
ALTERNATIVE PRESS MAGAZINE WAITING FOR ME.
...
Yeah, I know how pitiful all of that is, and I don't care.
Edit: Because I have to brag about it somewhere, I finally have Alive 1997 (Daft Punk's first live album) on my iPod. I'd been looking EVERYWHERE for it and was talking to this kid I know about it, and he texted me the next day saying he'd found an old cassette tape of it at his house and was in the process of uploading it. I just finished listening to it all the way through, and IT'S SO EPIC OMG.
Edit2: Because I'm bored and have time...
THREE BANDS YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT IF YOU HAVE TIME
1.
Forever the Sickest Kids - Catchy, fast-paced dance-pop. It's a lot like snorting crack and pixie stix at the same time while dancing at a rave.
2.
The Maine - Pop-Rock, I guess. Identical combovers and outfits aside, they get stuck in your head really easily. I honestly think they'll get big this summer~
3.
The Cab - I won't lie; The Cab basically sounds like a 90s boy band that Disney got to, and it's NOT a bad thing. In fact, it's REALLY AMAZING. <3
