our bodies get bigger but

our hearts get torn up.

(and i'll tell ya right now for some frickin' reason all my links are broken...so you'll have to copy and paste until i figure somethin' out)


last friday (9-25) i saw Cage the Elephant and Manchester Orchestra at The Revolution Room in Little Rock. the Silversun Pickups were headlining but we left before they had even finished taking down Manchester Orchestra's stuff. i went strickly for Manchester Orchestra.


now, i only kinda liked Cage the Elephant before friday. i thought they were pretty "eh." i downloaded their CD back in '08 when it came out but never listened to it, seriously. downloaded it on my family's computer but never even extracted it from the .zip. they all of sudden started gettin' played on the radio this summer, which i'm guessing is because of their letterman performance back in july i think. so i re-downloaded their album on my laptop. and i liked it pretty good. before the show i said something like "these guys are good and i like 'em but i know their show is gonna blow me away and i'm gonna end up really liking them."
and i was right.
second song into the set ("tiny little robots") matt was already in the crowd. their set was great. during "in one ear" he got back in the crowd and worked his way back to the steps and climbed up the little railing and held on to the pole and hit one of the big red lights on purpose. when matt got back on stage he said "last time we played here we got kicked out of the venue. i still remember the venue name....true story." the crowd got really into "ain't no rest for the wicked." they played a new song called "indie kids" they said it was "for all the coooool kids out there" i found this pretty funny because we were at a silversun pickups show. i really liked the song.

full set:
Dr. Dr. Dr.
Tiny Little Robots
Lotus
Aberdeen
Back Against the Wall
Japanese "something?"
Free Love
Indie Kids
Ain't No Rest For the Wicked
In One Ear
Saber-tooth Tiger

also if the bassist was left handed...kurt cobain.
these guys put on a great show and i'm thinkin' their next album will be good.

hard to believe you haven't heard them but if not check em out:

next up was Manchester Orchestra. i was so excited. they set up their stuff and people were saying stuff like "two drum kits whaaaa?" yeah. they're that awesome. they came out and just started playing.

full set:
Pride
Shake it Out
In My Teeth
I've Got Friends
Everything to Nothing
The River
The Only One

after "The River" everyone but Andy and Chris left the stage. Johnathon got back up there too. they played "The Only One." i was really happy this happened because i could see the set list and it only had the six songs listed. i was a little sad when i saw there weren't any songs off "I'm Like A Virgin Losing A Child" but when "Pride" started i was fine, i knew it was gonna be an amazing show.
at one point Andy threw his hat off and grabbed the mic,
it reminded me a lot of Isaac Brock starting at about 3:02 pretty much till the end.


after the show i didn't try to find anyone from the bands. we walked right by Jonathan, Chris, and Matt (from Cage the Elephant). i didn't say anthing. i should have. atleast something generic like "great show."

check these guys out now:

LISTEN TO MANCHESTER ORCHESTRA
anywhooo



Somethin’ filled up
my heart with nothin’,
someone told me not to cry.

But now that I’m older,
my heart’s colder,
and I can see that it’s a lie.

Children wake up,
hold your mistake up,
before they turn the summer into dust.

If the children don’t grow up,
our bodies get bigger but our hearts get torn up.
We’re just a million little god’s causin rain storms turnin’ every good thing to rust.

I guess we’ll just have to adjust.

With my lighnin’ bolts a glowin’
I can see where I am goin’ to be
when the reaper he reaches and touches my hand.

With my lighnin’ bolts a glowin’
I can see where I am goin’
With my lighnin’ bolts a glowin’
I can see where I am go-goin’

You better look out below!

AHOY!

today is talk like a pirate day.

sing out:
Well if you want to sing out, sing out
And if you want to be free, be free
Because there's a million things to be
You know that there are

And if you want to live high, live high
And if you want to live low, live low
Because there's a million ways to go
You know that there are

You can do what you want
The opportunity's on
If you find a new way
You can do it today
You can make it all true
And you can make it undo
(Do) you see?
It's easy
You only need to know

So if you want to say yes, say yes
And if you want to say no, say no
Because there's a million ways to go
You know that you are

And if you want to be me, be me
And if you want to be you, be you
Because there's a million things to do
You know that there are

You can do what you want
The opportunity's on
If you find a new way
You can do it today
You can make it all true
And you can make it undo
(Do) you see?
It's easy
You only need to know

Well if you want to sing out, sing out
And if you want to be free, be free
Because there's a million things to be
You know that there are

show me the sidestreets in your life
train yards like boneyards sharpened knives
sidewalks are unassuming fields
concrete and cracks won't cut you deals
lost teeth like white jewels of some kind
petty theft for penny crimes
and we yell
ahh like a good old fashion nightmare

riding trains to the end of lines
still we've got nothin but time
the skyline looks brighter tonight
lets go smash out every light
your left foot in front of right
and we yell
ahh like a good old fashion nightmare

random faces

Boys Night In


Hey,
Don't write yourself off yet.
It's only in your head you feel left out,
Or looked down on.
Just try your best,
Try everything you can.
And don't you worry what they tell themselves
When you're away.

It just takes some time,
little girl, you're in the middle of the ride.
Everything, everything will be just fine,
Everything, everything will be alright. (alright)

Hey,
You know they're all the same.
You know you're doing better on your own, (on your own)
So don't buy in.
Live right now.
Yeah, just be yourself.
It doesn't matter if it's good enough (good enough)
For someone else.

Hey, don't write yourself off yet.
It's only in your head you feel left out, (feel left out)
Or looked down on.
Just do your best, (just do your best)
Do everything you can. (do everything you can)
And don't you worry what their bitter hearts (bitter hearts)
Are gonna say.

try this one for yourself, type in "kanye west is a" just like i did:

i didn't get what i expected. at. all.
i mean where's "kanye west is an amazing person?"



In the night, I hear 'em talk,
the coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road, he lost his soul to a woman so heartless...
How could you be so heartless?
Oh... How could you be so heartless?

How could you be so, cold as the winter wind when it breeze, yo
Just remember that you talkin' to me though
You need to watch the way you talkin' to me, yo
I mean after all the things that we've been through
I mean after all the things we got into
Hey yo, I know of some things that you ain't told me
Hey yo, I did some things but that's the old me
And now you wanna get me back and you gon' show me
So you walk around like you don't know me
You got a new friend, well I got homies
But in the end it's still so lonely

In the night, I hear 'em talk,
the coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road, he lost his soul to a woman so heartless...
How could you be so heartless?
Oh... How could you be so heartless?

How could you be so Dr. Evil, you bringin' out a side of me that I dont know...
I decided we weren't gon' speak so
Why we up 3 A.M. on the phone
Why does she be so mad at me fo'
Homie I dont know, she's hot and cold
I won't stop, won't mess my groove up
'Cause I already know how this thing go
You run and tell your friends that you're leaving me
They say that they don't see what you see in me
You wait a couple months then you gon' see
You'll never find nobody better than me

In the night, I hear 'em talk,
the coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road, he lost his soul to a woman so heartless...
How could you be so heartless?
Oh... How could you be so heartless?

Talkin', talkin', talkin', talk
Baby let's just knock it off
They don't know what we been through
They don't know 'bout me and you
So I got something new to see
And you just gon' keep hatin' me
And we just gon' be enemies
I know you can't believe
I could just leave it wrong
And you can't make it right
I'm gon' take off tonight
Into the night....

In the night, I hear 'em talk,
the coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road, he lost his soul to a woman so heartless...
How could you be so heartless?
Oh... How could you be so heartless?

what do you say for yourself?

well?

i'm gonna post things that i think are cool.
when i see something and i think "well that was pretty darn cool" i'll post it to this blog.
well this blog is pretty darn cool.
i got tired of posting all this stuff on facebook.
i didn't like being all up in people's area with my randomness, i know it's annoying.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMO8Pyi3UpY&feature=related
(you atleast cracked a smile, didn't you?...pathetic)
that was my example of me posting things that i think are stupid.
so i'll post cool stuff and stupid stuff. they go hand in hand really...
i'll always end in a song. i might just only post a song.
you never know.
this is my blog of random awesomenessssseseseeesss...
i got distracted.
i'll apologize but i'm not sorry.

well i'm just gonna start off by pimping out the balloonshop.
i love these guys.
they define random.
this is their newest video.


that's all i feel like posting right now. i might add to it. i dunno. this was just a break from studying for my two tests tomorrow...





Well!
We spun like birds on fire right down towards the residence and I
I took all that I desired, even crooks have to pay the rent.
We swam like rats on fire right, right down the reservoir
We took all that we could carry but we tried to carry more.

And you know you know you know it all went wrong.
And you know you know you know it was all wrong.

We choked on straight tap water well I'm gonna have to try the real thing
I took your laugh by the collar and it knew not to swing.
Anytime I tried an honest job well the till had a hole and ha-ha
We laughed about payin' rent 'cause the county jails they're free.

And you know you know you know it all went wrong.
And you know you know you know it was all wrong.

Deep Water, Deep Water
Senseless Denial
I went down like a rag doll as you would, child
Deep Water, Deep Water
Senseless Denial
I went down like a rag doll as you would, child

Oh, lucky lucky lucky lucky me again.
I said it looks like I've got to use my feet again
Well I just spent my last one-hundred dollars
God I'll pay my bill again

Oh, I don't care
Oh, how I just don't care.

Deep Water, Deep Water
Senseless Denial
I went down like a rag doll shooken and shy
Deep Water, Deep Water
Senseless Denial
I went down like a rag doll rat of a child

Well King rat has me on his list again
I can never be on the fence again
I found out it's all loud
Open like an organ and it
talk, talk, talk, talk again
he promised me that when I cheated him
But I could open my eye well...
lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky,
lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky me again.

Deep Water, Deep Water
This Senseless Denial
I got fed like a fish, full of open smiles
Blue Water, Deep Water
Oh Senseless Denial
I got fed like a fish on the cardboard smiles

Well Well...
What do you have to say for yourself?
I said, well well
Well?
I said well, well, well, well!

Lucky, lucky, lucky, lucky me again.
I hardly knew I should use my feet again
What do you have to say for yourself?
What do you have to say for yourself?
