Woo hoo!!!

I haven't been to a concert in FO-EVAH. As a matter of fact, I think the last one I went to was either Rascall Flatts or Big & Rich a couple of years ago.

So I am so, so, so excited that Carl and I are going to one this Thursday. We are going to see Theory of a Deadman... a rock group that is... well... AWESOME.

Here is one of their videos...



I cannot begin to tell you how excited I am about seeing these guys. Carl heard them on the radio and bought a CD... I can't get enough of it.

My hubby doesn't ask for much. When I told him this group was going to be at a local venue he got this little look on his face and said "Can we go?" I couldn't deny him. At. All.

I just hope Dad can babysit. :)

Crazy Ivan

Last night was the first time I've watched Heroes in a couple of weeks and I LOVED it. That was the show I fell in love with a couple of years ago. I may actually try to watch it again next week.

Especially if Sylar is in it again. OMG... those scenes with Elle were KILLING me.

Music perception

I'm amazed at people's perception of me. Especially when it comes to the music I listen to.

My music taste runs the entire spectrum. I love everything from Country to Heavy Metal to Rap (main stream/hiphop... not the hardcore stuff). If it makes me feel something - like wanting to dance or cry - I love it. If it touches my soul I will listen to it.

But I find it curious what people would think I listen to. If you met me, you would probably think I'm a Country music kind of gal. I do like it. I love Rascal Flatts, Brad Paisley, Tim McGraw, and Brooks and Dunn - and many more.

But that isn't all to my music taste.

In high school I was a Stray Cats FANATIC. I knew everything there was to know about Brian Setzer, Slim Jim Phantom and Lee Rocker. I bought imported LPs and hard to find vinyl. I still have everything. I even have their greatest hits on my iPod and in my car.

I also loved Duran Duran and any British band of the 80s. And QUEEEN!!! OMG!!! Freddy Mercury was the b.o.m.b. and I still get chills when I hear his voice.

In college I turned to heavy metal. Of course, I have loved that genre since I was young. The first album I ever bought was KISS' Destroyer. To this day, the sound of a screeching guitar and thundering bass turns me to liquid fire. I love. love. love it. Ozzy, GNR, Whitesnake, all the 80s hair bands... OMG! These days I am in love with Saving Abel and Theory of a Deadman... they are so frakkin' awesome!

And now that AC/DC and GNR are coming out with new NEW albums - oh happy day!

All this is being said because today I was in the car with my girlfriend, T. She and I were cheering on our 3 Day Walker friend, PT, and had met her for lunch. As I was taking T back to her car I told her that I had bought two CDs that morning that were complete opposites. I had bought AC/DCs new one and Flo Rida (he is a rapper and his Ayer video is a few posts down).

She said she loved Flo Rida's Low. I asked her if she had heard In the Ayer yet and she said no. I put the CD in the player and proceeded to turn up the volume so I could MOVE.

She was laughing at me and saying "I can't believe you like this! This is so not what I expected from you!"

That floors me. Music is in my soul. Without it I would wither up and blow away. It has the power to make me happy or sad; it gets me going in the morning and provides a pick me up in the afternoon. It makes my world go around.

And it takes ALL KINDS of music to do that, too. My mood hinges on what I hear every day... so it has to make me happy. No matter what genre it comes from.

What music makes you happy? Any particular genre or do you like it all?

Riverdance

Bug watched a video of Lord of the Dance in school and really liked it. Here she is showing me what she saw... Enjoy!

She gets it honest, doesn't she?!
