This blog is really just about what I find to be the most awesome thing in the whole world: MUSIC Share the same interest? Then you will like this blog :)
Music isn't something you hear, it's something you feel. I like music because songs say what I can't.
The Danish band Dúné is streaming their acoustic concert tonight at 8PM UTC + 1. For people who don't know this band it would be worth checking them out, I'm just saying. You can put them in the genre of rock and electric, so they are definitely up to date with their sound. With this new electronic genre everywhere, you can't help but enjoy some acoustic tracks once in a while, am I right? Though I'm not saying I don't like it, just look at the band Veto, I love their sound!!!
Just spend some money that I don't have (just kidding, but it's money that I should be using on christmas presents). I went to this cool music shop in Copenhagen, and the reason why it's cool is because they don't sell music like Justin Bieber or One Direction. No, no, no. This is all music from old school rock to pop rock artists.
The first of the three albums is Panic! At The Disco's new album Too Weird to Live, Too Rare to Die.
I listened to is five times in one day, just going too and from school. My favorite tracks are This Is Gospel, Casual Affair, Nicotine, and Miss Jackson. They just have something about them that make that album special.
The two next albums that I got are both from The Floor Is Made of Lava. A while back I went to their goodbye concert (check out the review here: http://memusicandhellyeah.blogspot.dk/2013/09/danish-rap-and-danish-rock.html ) and since then I've loved their music.These are the albums: Hwl at the Moon, and Kids and Drunks.
I haven'r had much chance to listen to these yet, but I will. Until then you may settle with this.
What album have you been listening to the most the past month? Please leave a comment in the section below.
Just yesterday I bought a copy of Nickelback's Silver Side Up for just 9 danish "kroner" (1,65 USD, 1,21 EUR, 1,02 GBP). Every time i go into these stores I go directly to the music shelves. Sometimes you find nothing, other times you find gold.
For instance; I looked at the vinyl-record shelves, and only found shit, then I looked at the CD's and found this baby.
There's a lot of money to be saved, and you might find something there, that you won't be able to find in a usual music store.
In my town, Humlebæk, there is a second hand store, which I go to every time I wait for my bus.
This is a good advice for students, who do not have a lot of money - which is basically every student.
Am I the only one thinking of Thrift Shop by Macklemore right now???
September has been a month of live experiences. Two concerts and in all 23 artists.
Starting off with the rap, it was the 25th anniversary of Danish rap where a total of 21 of the biggest rap artist from Denmark performed at an almost completely full TIVOLI (same place 30STM had their concert in june). I went to this concert with some friends as a start of a tradition, because even though I'm not into the whole rap scene, this night was unforgettably cool. The lineup showed names as
I have got to say that these guys will bring the inner gangster out of you. You will be headbanging and throwing hand signs for a week - just saying.
The best part of the show was and will always be MC Einar. This man is epic, that is all there is to say about him. Even if you don't like rap, you can't help but feel a bit nostalgic when seeing him live. I remember analyzing one of his songs in a danish class in 8th grade (or somewhere around there).
And here are some of the (poorly taken) pictures from the concert.
Next we are moving to the most important part of this post. The Danish rock - because there are no doubts that the Danish ROCK kicks the Danish RAP's ass.
This concert also took place in TIVOLI, and it was the closing performance of the season we call Friday-Rock in TIVOLI. Through the summer TIVOLI books artists to perform every Friday, and this was the last one. It was actually a combination of two artists: VETO and THE FLOOR IS MADE OF LAVA
I went there for my best friends 19th birthday, and we got to be in front row in the middle. Best view!
Now, I have never actually been listening to these two bands, but after this I will. Especially The Floor Is Made of Lava, who was the main act, was LEGENDARY.
Unfortunately it was their goodbye concert. They will be taking some time off, and maybe they won't come back. One can always hope that they will, because never have I seen such energy coming from four men up on one stage. It was amazing to be able to watch them at their best, but sadly I will not have that experience again.
When the concert was over, the night didn't end. A lot of the audience went home, but being a hardcore fan, one of my friends wanted to stay, just to see if anything happened.
And something did...
After a while we had gotten two of the setlists - one for Laura (my best friend) and one for one of the other girls. But it didn't end there. Laura got to go backstage with one other person. I wish it could have been me, but I have got to say, that she did deserve it. It was her birthday after all.
As for the two bands: VOTO is an electronic-rock band, which is something I haven't listened to a whole lot, but I thought it was cool.
VETO - You Are A Knife. This was one the the songs they played, and even though I didn't know the words, it wasn't too hard singing a long.
THE FLOOR IS MADE OF LAVA is a good old rock band. Rock when it's best. They gave all what they had and the performance was amazing, did I already say that? Well, you need to hear it again. AMAZING.
THE FLOOR IS MADE OF LAVA - A Place In The Sun. This was also on the setlist, and I thought that it was one of those special ones. You know that one song that is just magical. It was especially on that stage. The music video is a bit controversial, but it has a great message, watch it :)
THE FLOOR IS MADE OF LAVA - Lost In The Woods was another song on the setlist, and another one of the special ones. Just imagine the crowd singing this with all their heart (me included). It is always such an amazing feeling when that happens whether you are in the crowd or up on stage (i can only imagine).
And to end off, I will add some of the pictures i took of this amazing band:
This guy was so cool. The whole concert through he has his cigarette in his mouth and his cap on backwards.
Official photo taken from the concert. Yep, that is me (leatherjacket) and my best friend (red hair).
The photo taken when Laura met the lead singer of The Floor Is Made of Lava backstage.
And as a little bonus comment, the lights of the concert were so cool. These pictures do not give it justice, but as Laura said "there are so many good photo-opportunities" (note: Laura wants to be a photographer, so she'll know stuff like that ;) ).
Tickets on sale from thursday. I am sure I will be in line for those!!!!
They will be playing at this stage near my school. It's actually kind of funny. The first day of school all the new students went to this stage to hear the dean and the senior board members talk, and all I could think about was how awesome it would be to have a concert in there. I was sitting on one of the crappiest seats, but it was still a really good view. And right when my train of thought went to the amazing concert in Tivoli a few months earlier, they played a video with Kings and Queens as the background music. Was I exited or what?
But anyways, as I was thinking of a 30STM concert in that exact room, little did I know that just 15 days later, I would find out that that will actually be happening. Funny how things turn out.
Hmm maybe I have some sort of superpower. Wouldn't that be cool? To be able to see the future or make things happen that haven't already happened.
So to sign off today I will be posting the exact same song that was played for me in that room, leading me to the thought of 30STM playing in there. Here you have it: Kings and Queens, enjoy:
