what a fucking awesome day (note a lack of sarcasm) ...when my parents come home from work they tell me they got me an early b-day present, and i'm like "ok, where?"...they say that i had to guess...and i guess tickets and they say yes...and then they tell me it's at night, so i think it's like a cubs game, a night game, but they say no...so i'm thinking "ticket's for what?"...
"oh! a concert!" and they tell me july second at the aragon ballroom...and i have no idea who's supposed to play there...and we play a little charades and i guess the white stripes...and they say yes...
it was fucking awesome...they got me four tickets...so i'll be taking some lady friends of mine along...it should be a very nice evening...wow
my parents kick ass...thank you (to my parents)

Wow your parents rock! The White Stripes are sooo fantastic live. And they're not as big in the states as in the UK right? so it'll be a smaller venue, which is even better! Rock! ;D

Right on!!! They're good in concert, they put on a great show. I hear Chicago has good venues, the Aragon, Double Door and Metro... good music scene there

yeah, chicago does have some good venues...i especially like the aragon (i don't think it holds much more than two thousand, but i'm not really sure; it isn't too big, though), which happens to be where the concert is...i'm very excited...hurry up july 2...

If it's with Whirlwind Heat then you're in for a treat, they're fantastic live.

Fucking amazing art punk weirdness, just bass, drums, vocals and a moog. They have a pretty original sound. Really blew me away live. They do not sound like the white stripes in any way at all so definitely don't go expecting that  |

...i came expecting an amazing experience...and i recieved an amazing experience...wow, an hour and forty five straight minutes of energy and talent...i don't know how the two do it...and meg has a great voice...i think she needs to sing more...and jack is an amazing guitarist...move over jimi hendrix (ok, that might be going too far), but when jack flung his guitar around to his back and started flying behind him, wow, i didn't expect that, i was very much impressed...over all it was great...and i like how they played a lot of songs off of de stilj (well, it seemed like they did anyway) i think that might be my favorite of theirs...overall, it was amazing, but i expected that...
...what i didn't expect was the whirlwind heat might be my next favorite band...i've always loved the drum and bass idea (just drum and bass)...and i want a fucking moog after seeing these guys...and their energy...wow...their energy was (dare i say it) at the drive-in-level...well, i'll be seeing the mars volta in a few weeks, and then i can compair energy levels...
...so overall, what an awesome night, one i won't soon forget...
p.s. check out whirlwind heat (i don't think i totally believed kingofcretins's opinion of this band at first...and boy was i wrong) if you haven't already, i don't think you'll be disappointed...

I hope this teaches you all a valuable lesson you really should have picked up by now: I am a god and you should always trust and listen to me ;P Seriously though I'm really glad you liked Whirlwind Heat, they are certainly better live than on record but they rock either way so wooo! Did they do that thing where the singer hangs of the assists shoulders by his feet and plays bass at the same time? ROCK AND ROLL!!!!! David W |
