One More Post of Guster

Here's a little tidbit from the concert I went to last Monday. I have to say these guys are almost better live than they are on CD. If you ever get the chance (and if you like their music of course) go see them! My tickets were a little over $30 and I would have gladly payed double for what I experienced.  Heck, the main singers had colds and STILL sounded amazing.

Ok.

Enough gushing.

Here're the pictures:

That's right. Front. Row (ok there was ONE person standing between me and the stage). Check out the drummer, and his bongo-drum set. And yes, it was in Ithaca, that's why the piano-with-a-chalkboard-front says "Scooter [he helps play percussion] is GORGES."

That's all for now.... ; )

Just So Wonderful and Easy

  
     For the longest time I've been dying to write about some of my favorite things. So, in order to provide myself some more blog fodder, I'll (hopefully) be writing a series on my fave's.
    
     Today's Favorite is in music- namely a fantastic little group called Guster. I had only heard of them last fall, but they've quickly become my favorite band. Not once before have I come across CDs in which I enjoy listening to EVERY song (when it wasn't a "greatest hits"). That's exactly what happened to me on Ganging Up on the Sun and they're newest album (as of last Tuesday) Easy Wonderful. If you're into rock and alternative music, these guys will definitely catch your interest.  Plus, I love that they're still going strong after nearly 20 years!
     To me, the songs on Easy Wonderful are more blast-on-a-rainy-day type songs while those on their previous ones are nice to relax to. It's really cool how the drummer uses a congo-drum-set (congo drums instead of toms and a bass) and that the group incorperates all sorts of instruments (always a plus for me).

These are my reccommended Top Five:

1. Satellite
2. Do You Love Me?
3. What You Call Love
4. Bad, Bad World
5. Ramona

That's a general list, depending on the day they can go back and forth, and Long Way Down, Ruby Falls, Amsterdam and basically the whole Easy Wonderful album can be thrown in too.

Anyway, I hope you check them out, they're certainly worth it!

More Views of Syracuse

Yep, I haven't bogged in forever, I know. It's just, this whole college thing really sucks the time out of me! I can't believe I'm in my 6th week of 15 already! The weeks go incredibly fast and it's amazing that it's already going to be the second week of October! Anyway, things are going good and the only downside is that I kind of miss my family and friends. :)
Anyway.... I figured this post would be about posting some pictures of my lovely school :)
Enjoy:
