Somewhat of a tentative list of what I want to see this coming fall:
Coldplay (8-2) Hartford XL Center
Grace Potter & The Nocturnals (8-16) Burlington Waterfront
James Hunter (8-23) Higher Ground
Carbon Leaf (9-20) Higher Ground
Sonya Kitchell (9-24) Higher Ground
Great Big Sea (10-31) Flynn Theater
Iron & Wine (11-15) Pearl Street Night Club
Coldplay I'm seeing tomorrow, which I'm very excited for. I'm still on edge whether or not to see Grace Potter at the Waterfront, because it'll be an amazing concert, but I don't have anyone to go with for that. James Hunter is someone I've wanted to see for a while now, ever since I missed him when he came to VT for a free show a couple years ago. Carbon Leaf is a group that I don't miss. Sonya Kitchell is another one I've missed when she came up last time. Great Big Sea, maybe, depending on what I'm up to that day, and Iron and Wine is something that I will sell my soul make a huge effort to see.
This commercial has been amusing me ever since I first saw it. It's quirky and interesting, with a fun song to go along with it. With a little bit of searching, I was able to find that the song was a jingle that was written for the song, which surprised me.
Here are the translated lyrics from their website:
Under the sun, it's perfect, with my friends we drive, on the highway to paradise - alright - let's go in my car - the life before us is a beautiful sight, oh baby, here we go, let's go to paradise - alright - Garmin-Garmin-Garmin!"
I don't hold anything against songs that go up on commercials - recently, it seems, there's a lot of fantastic music getting a lot of really good exposure that way. Even jingles like this - pretty fun to listen to.
Hype - Buy
(This isn't music related - I'm just plugging another site that I work for.)
This has me really, really excited. The Unofficial Clone Wars site is now back and running!
From 2003 to 2006, I worked on this webpage in the leadup to the movie Revenge of the Sith, helping put together one of the biggest and most comprehensive Clone Wars databases out there, with information on the characters, locations, battles, reviews and interviews. After Revenge of the Sith, we all took a break, and the site went by the wayside.
Until now - with the movie coming out this August, we decided to dust it off and start again, and the side can now be seen at its new home: http://theclonewarz.net. Go check it out and let us know what you think!
