In the mood for Rock

Lately I've been in a Hip Hop phase. I've been playing the hell out of my albums like Dave Chappelle's Block Party. Blasting artists such as Kanye West, Talib Kweli, Erykah Badu, Aceyalone, Abstract Rude, and De La Soul. I listened to my One Self album so much that it actually broke! Such a catastrophe, I had to order another copy from Amazon. If you never heard of One Self, I'm telling you fools, ya ain't heard nothing'! The best Hip Hop show I ever saw!

Anyway, I've been in such a huge hip hop phase because my faith in rock has disintegrated. A few years ago I listened to nothing but rock like Modest Mouse, CKY, The Misfits, Death From Above 1979, The Pixies, and Pantera.

It’s nice to hear a good rock band now and then. Every time I put on the radio all I hear is this whiney girly-man music where the dudes wear eyeliner, but only because its 'trendy'. The original punks, Depeche Mode and Glam rock heroes were the only guys who looked hot with eyeliner…HIM too.

Back onto the subject, It’s really nice to hear some real rock that makes you wanna jump up and down. I just heard that The Living Blue would be coming to Satellite Cocktail bar and lounge. They’re the first rock band in a while that made me smile. I’m pretty eager to see this show.

The lead singer has a voice that sounds a wee bit like Pete Doherty, the tragic genius behind The Libertines and Baby Shambles but guess what, he’s not English. The guys are from Illinois and the fake English accent doesn’t sound corny yet intriguing.

The show is on Saturday at 10pm. They’re playing with Think in French who I’ve heard nothing but good things about. Click here to go to their MySpace page and check out their music. I’ll be at the show on Saturday night so I hope to see you there!
