SotD: The National - Mistaken for Strangers
I was supposed to see these guys two weeks ago.
I watched Chuck, downed a bunch of pills, and got arrested instead.

Song of the Day... err something close to it
So here's a new regular feature. At some amount close to daily I'll be posting a song I find to be worth posting. It might be a video, it be just an mp3, but it'll always be rocking.
LCD Soundsystem - All My Friends
So here' the latest single off of LCDSS's latest CD, Sound of Silver (a definite top album of the year). You might want to check out Franz Ferdinand's cover of it, which can also be found on youTube.

Minus the Bear Concert Review Finale
So on with the show!!!
We walk in and Ela is playing but I didn't really clue into what they were playing until a couple songs later. They were you're typical indie rock band with tinges of Dashboard Confessional emo. They seemed a little rocky on stage but aside from all those issue they were surprisingly good. I'm just going to go ahead and credit the sonic qualities of the Opera House; in any other venue they would have disappointed. So they left the stage and I continued drinking my gin and tonics.
Shortly thereafter, someone came on stage and placed a bust of a man on stage. To someone less versed in the way of Subtle might have run, but I had seen them before so such a sight got me ready for all the fun. Finally, Subtle comes on and their own brand of jazz-electronica-fusion-hiphop blew me away again. Take an electronic drum pad, a guitarist/live drummer, a cello player,a clarinet, a flute, an array of synths, and an eccentric lead vocalist/rapper throwing words out at 1000mph and you have Subtle. Its hard to describe here so be sure to check em out and if you happen upon the chance, see them live.
With Subtle, who really impressed the crowd, leaving the stage all that was left was a half hour wait till Minus the Bear took the stage. Their barrage of sounds really won me over. Before the concert I was impartial to them, they could go either way in my books. But they put on such a great yet humble show that they now rank among my Top 20 bands. Their set consisted of nice balance between classic fan favorites and tracks of their new album Plant of Ice.
The night concluded with us back at the Blue Moon, me giving 9 bucks to a homeless guy, a really gross hot dog with mayo being thrown in the water at Nathan Phillips square and spending the entire night at some cracked out coffee time till 5 in the morning. Life is good.
