akron/family @ the oriental. 3/17
Akron/Family: hippies to the enth degreeSo we went to akron/family last night. It seems that everytime I see them it is necessary for me to be completely drunk. I don't remember much of their set from the Monolith music festival. other than crying because they brought up pennslyvania, and I was worried Barack Obama was going to lose that state to john mccain in the election.
I suppose I wasn't as drunk last night, but I was pretty drunk. drunk enough to smoke in the venue. even though it's against the law. I guess I feel weird because I don't ever break the law anymore, I never drink and drive, I'm old enough to drink, and I've been laying off the poot, so I had to do something to rebel.
It's funny because just yesterday I went off about long sets and jamming. well, this set was long and there was like a ten minute jam session. I liked it though. I don't know if it was the 7 or so rum and cokes or the fact that someone even played a saw, but I really liked it. The beginning of the set was tight, defined songs, beutiful vocals. The end, as I said was full of jamming and at one point 9 or so musicians were on the stage going off on their instruments. Songs picked up and then got droney and at points it reminded of me of animal collective. I was a little sad they didn't play any of my favorite songs, but the show was really good nonetheless. It ended in a venue wide sing along that was like "last year was hard and this is our year" or something. I don't know, I was all about it at the time. Then again, the drunkeness factor could've had something to do it.
Overall it was a lot of fun, a way better experience than the time I saw them at monolith, and a great way to spend st. patricks day.

Fuck You: a quick post
Paul W.S. Anderson: Fuck you and your video game adaptions!
Regis Philbin,
You dirty son of a bitch, I hate you. Fuck you.
mstrkrft: your music is bullshit and shows no legitimate talent, fuck off already.
this concludes my first fuck you post.
-johnny ketchum
so..
I hate you blogger. I just wrote the longest post and it didn't save. fuck. I am having an annoying day. This is a post of rants, of the flattering and unflattering sort.
Because I am having such a bad day I am beginning this blog a picture of adorable kittens. kittens and ranting always make me feel better.
Now on to the latter. ranting.
First of all, Johnny and I decided not to go to coachella. it's too expensive and all our favorite bands at it are coming here anyway.
on that note there are a million good shows coming to denver in the next few months. i don't know how we will afford it.

3.26 The Spinto Band
One of our love songs is "Spy vs. Spy". Plus, my love adores this band. we will go for sure.
4.10 Conor Oberst
who am I kidding? we'll be at both for sure. I'm sure his new album will blow. I have no expectations at all. poor conor just isn't that good. but old faves die hard.
4.15 Headlights
I think this band made me want to be 21 more than any other band, simply because they came so much before I was 21 and I always wanted to go. so I am definately going this time!
4.24 My Bloody Valentine
duh.
5.5 croccodiles
Seeing the faint is always fun, but we've seen them a lot and let's face it, they had like two good albums (Danse Macabre and Blank Wave Arcade). Everything they've released after danse macbre has been subpar at best. we are mainly going to see croccodiles. I haven't heard them but Johnny is very excited to see them. we definately won't miss it.
5.8 Adrien Orange
I adore everything on K records. prentenious and general but true...well except the blow, but that's because I got tired of them not because they are horrible. are they even still on k records? anyway I love love love thanksgiving. and I like rhinoceropolis. this will be a good one for sure.
Things we will go out of our way to miss
as well as good shows, there are some shows we you couldn't pay us to see. depending on the amount ofcourse.
Brian Jonestown Massacre. sometime in may? somewhere in denver.
We've all seen the documentary. and I had some friends who went to see them in '06 at the Boulder theater, and according to them it didn't go very well. it was basically a never ending set. Now, I have nothing against Brian Jonestown Massacre, but we have a lot against jamming. fuck jamming. I hate jamming more than anything else in music. and I hate long sets. there I said it. I get tired, my feet hurt and I want to sit down. I've become more and more anti- the long jam session the older I've become. and thats the difference between a concert goer in their twneties and a teenager. However, I still felt the same way about this when I was a little one, I just pretended like I liked it.
The Decemberists. sometime in may? also somewhere in denver.
There is nothing that makes me more mad than when the decemberists are someone's favorite band. really? favorite? that's a bit much. people are just too into them. . but I guess that doesn't make them bad. What makes me not like them is, 1) most of their music puts me to sleep 2) overplayed. johnny and I don't do well with over played songs.
Mstrkrft. also in may? denver.
what the fuck does this band come every day? Seriously. I cannot wait for this fad to pass.What's funny is that I don't even hate this band as much as johnny does. johnny hates mstrkrft with a passion. so yea, we'll steel clear of this one.
animal collective. beginning of june. boulder theater.
Okay, so ofcourse we will actually go to this. we love animal collective and wouldn't miss it. That doesn't change the fact that every tool in the world is going to be there. I have heard "I already bought my ticket bro" at least once a week...for the past two months. What the fuck? who buys their ticket to animal collective 6 MONTHS early?!?! We're not talking about the michael jackson tour, we're talking about animal collective. Animal Collective who played an unsold out show three years ago at cervantes. If you all love animal collective so much why weren't you there? oh and guess what..Animal Collective isn't even that good live. so quit acting like it's the second coming of christ. on that note, see you there.

What in the world?
What the, hell? are you kidding me? I can't believe this I'm just flabbergasted, I really can't explain this right now it just does not make any sense to me at all..Why I'm so shocked is because I accidentally stumbled upon it, it's just one of those things people like me do not want to run across...What I'm talking about is, A.V.A's.
Now, you may be asking yourself, "What is an A.V.A?" an A.V.A is an American Voice Actor. Now, why do they bug me or do I never want to see them? Because they ruin every thought you have on an awesome character just because they don't look how you imagine them to! AHH! Again, I know I'm repeating myself I'm just a little take by, but I guess I should get to the start of this rant.
I'd never looked up this name because of the characters he does voices for, Spike from Cowboy Bebop most specifically. some one as a kid, I thought was just the coolest guy ever and all that jazz, to see this man who does the voice for one of my favorite anime characters ever and also lend his voice to other favorites of mine, oh god, and looking into this guy, he's done voices for everything you could ever think of in the nerd world...GOD, I do not see this guy being the voice of: Spike Spiegel, Ares!? (are you kidding me!?), Ken, Vincent Valentine, Mugen the list goes on. These are just the few characters that really stick out to me. Now, I have no problem with the guy I obviously love his work, I just don't see these characters being this man. I could show you guys these characters but it'd just take too long and I just frankly wouldn't like to do so when it'd be easier to wiki this guy and you'd see him and could search the characters he's been it's just..insane, I was much more heated about this earlier and had a longer rant in store but, I lost it, I got hungry, and I needed a cigarette. I also understand that Marissa is a much better writer than I am, so...Sorry for the jumble of words and lack of...correctness?
