The Close of the First Day

posted by Mills-McCoin @ 11:35 PM




So how was everyone's first day at ACL 2009?

After witnessing Dave Grohl give John Paul Jones a hug, I had the privalege of standing behind them as they played in the mystical form known as Them Crooked Vultures- a name perfectly suited for their sound. The powerhouse trio uses an intense hard rock sound to prey upon the weak minds of those that indulge in the nostalgia of a Led Zeppelin/Queens of the Stone Age/Nirvana superfantasy. I would not be surprised if these rock icons got together solely to satirize Generation X and its vain consumerism.
Generation X is far too fond of re-living the past with today's technology. Par example: making comic book movies; remaking every movie ever made; tv shows that send 80's sitcom stars to rehab and etc... Generation X doesn't do a good job of rewarding originality. They cling to the cheesy stuff from their childhood.
Karen O and The Yeah Yeah Yeahs were amazing. Karen definitely sang and performed for the screen, which was a welcome effort. She was very dramatic and lively. The soundguy was some type of horrible coward because he refused to turn up the volume; like when your dad refused to even play Guns'R'Roses on family road trips.
I go to bed now with a peace of mind that only comes from seeing a member of Led Zeppelin.
What shows should I see tomorrow?
