Just last night I watched an Oliver Stone and Bill Maher interview where Mr. Stone stated that America no longer has journalists. Journalists today are just a pawn of the government. Too afraid to speak to truth.
Then Keith Olbermann had his amazing episode on August 3rd. Calling out specific elected officials and their failures. Mr. Olbermann spoke for the people with no fear, delivering actual news. None of that Michael Jackson bull shit. If we had more people delivering news like Olbermann, people might actually know what is going on in this world. Olbermann called out both republicans and democrats. A politician is a politician no matter what brand they have stamped on their stupid heads. I have an amazing amount of respect for Mr. Olbermann. He called out for these lame elected officials to finally start working for the people and not these large companies. He also requested that the people start acting. Everyone should check out what this man has to say. The only thing I fear now is that someone will assassinate him. We all know how much those crazy republicans love their guns.
Bless Keith Olbermann!

WARPED TOUR 2009!
Sometimes I hear things. I hear things that sometimes makes my goose pimples rise, that sends a shock through my system, that get my hormones pumping. I hear music.
The highlight of my summer has come and is now gone. I am officially one day closer until Warped Tour 2010 comes to Minnesota. This blog might be a little early to start writing about how excited I am for Warped Tour 2010, so I will use most of this space to write about how amazing Warped Tour 2009 was. Warped Tour 2009 was kind of awesome. Just a little bit. The sun burn and pain I feel in my body right doesn't equal the amount of happiness Warped Tour brings me. A day full of music and culture. A day when I can completely ignore the world and just let music sink into me. A day when it doesn't matter how stupid I look and how stupid I act. If there is a heaven (and let me assure you now, there isn't a heaven) Warped Tour is the closest thing to it (at least for me). Some people claim to "like/love music" because it is "cool" to like music. I wouldn't say that is a false statement, music is indeed very cool. Music isn't just a bunch of noise that convey a message and make us feel things. Music is also fashion, culture, history, stories, etc. Music should mean much more in our world, but this meaning seems to get lost and is often traded in for what is "cool." Music to me is a life force. Music helped me through the hardest and darkest times of my life. I don't think I was ever close to be suicidal, but it would be fair to say music kept me afloat. Music was, and still is, by my side ready to take on the world with me. Music is also there during the happiest days of my life. If there is a group that appreciates music, I'd like to think I deserve a spot in that group.
The day I knew music was woven in my soul was at an Underoath headliner. That night was the closest thing I came to a supernatural/out of body experience. I don't know what song Underoath was playing, but it was so intense, it was so inviting, it was so clear and beautiful. During that song, I lost complete control of my body. I literally froze and had no control over my body. I could think and talk to myself, but I couldn't command my body to move. Shortly after I lost control over my body, I started crying out of no where. I have no idea why. But, I knew from that moment, I would forever be passionate about music.
I didn't have any body versus soul experiences at Warped, but I did have an overload of fun. The day started out with our usual breakfast at McDonald's then we hit the road. What we didn't expect was the amount of traffic on 169. One of my biggest fears is missing an important 11:00 set. My heart nearly imploded when we were still a while off, and 11:00 was near. When we got to Warped, there were massive lines like usual. We had to first find the will-call tent so that I could receive my free tickets from Warner Bros. Records. My tickets were there, but Richard's tickets he won through the John Lennon Education Foundation were a bit more difficult to track down. Eventually we got all our free tickets and got the whole crew together. It must have been at least 11:30 when we got into the venue. Naturally my first instinct is to speed walk my ass over to the mecca of Warped. When I looked to the top left corner of that giant red balloon, my heart sank about 16 yards. Devil Wears Parda was the first band on the main stage. "2 years in a row!?" I thought to myself because I had missed their set last year. However, I looked at the time next to the Velcro T.D.W.P label and saw that the first set on the main stage hadn't started yet. Thank the lord! This year Warped only used one main stage instead of two so the first band played a bit later. We had about 10 minutes until T.D.W.P hit the stage so we planned out route quickly. Main stage...Hurley stage...Hurley.com stage...Smartpunk stage...main stage...break. Warped 2009 would start quickly and would show no mercy.
I joked before Warped about badly we would be drained if Warped started with Underoath and Devil Wears Prada. Well, 1/2 of that joke came true as we started with The Devil Wears Prada. This would be the first T.D.W.P set I attended after the release of their new album. I don't think it was good for me to start off so quickly and aggressively. I always tell myself before concerts, "take it easy, pace yourself," but when that music hits me, I lose all control. They came in to the Mortal Kombat theme and I could feel all the juices in my body flowing. When the music started, it was all out hell. T.D.W.P sounds like T.D.W.P for the most part when they perform live. One difference I always notice is that it is much easier to hear the keyboard on their record. Which is the opposite for Underoath. Since T.D.W.P played so early, I had plenty of room to move around and act like a complete fool. My friends told me after Warped that there were some members of the crowd that laughed at my "dancing." Which is fine with me. I'm not at Warped to impress people, haha. I wish some of the people I went with knew more of the songs because they really are a fun live band. We didn't get to finish their set (most likely left a song early) because Scary Kids Scaring Kids overlapped.
We sprinted over to the Hurley stage and when we got there Scary Kids Scaring Kids were already mid-song. Dean and I snaked through the shell of the crowd so that we could get into where the party really happens. The Scary Kids crowd was much more calm compared to the T.D.W.P crowd. I was actually surprised. T.D.W.P had a bigger stage, but I thought a Scary Kids crowd would have an equal amount of energy for its size. This all just meant that we would have to get the people around us more into the energy of the songs. The vocal mic was a little low in the mix, but Scary Kids sounded very good. They did a good job of mixing new songs, old songs, softer songs, harder songs and gave their set a diverse feel. Scary Kids requested a "wall of death" (which I hate). Dean and Jon seemed to have some fun with it. Scary Kids ended and it was off to the Hurley.com stage as the end of this set and the start of the Meg&Dia set matched perfectly.
We got to the Hurley.com stage as Dia just started singing. This is only my second time seeing Meg&Dia perform, but the first time was completely boring. I was hoping that this time would be a little different. When we got there, the crowd was spaced out and completely still, which was not a very good indicator that this was going to be a very fun crowd. I'm not for crazy pushing, crowd surfers, but I am for a little crowd movement. A little dancing. It doesn't seem right when there is about a foot of space between me and the next person. The first time I saw Meg&Dia, I think I was the only person in my group that had really checked their music out. This year Dean and Jon joined me so I had at least 2 other people to feed of off. They made the Meg&Dia set 100% more entertaining. The people we were around didn't seem to like our moving around and jumping too much, but they can suck a dick. Dean and I have had many friendly debates debating whether Carlo or Meg is playing the guitar solos. Dean officially earned his Meg&Dia badge mid-way through the Meg&Dia set. What amazed me was the band was able to completely ignore 3 college aged males jumping around and yelling in a sea of 4 foot tall girls. Not even a look, not even a smile of amusement. I don't know if this was a good thing, or bad. If they didn't completely ignore us, they probably would have yelled at us for causing such a scene. I always hear Meg&Dia fans complement the band on how much they sound like their records. I would like to disagree. Some of the parts seem watered down and I Dia doesn't sound nearly as good live. She doesn't sound that amazing on the album. I really appreciate the diversity of their songs and their composition, but they just aren't my favorite live band. The crowd is no good, the songs a much thinner live, and they lack stage presence. Dia is no Hayley Williams. However, I think they are a good band to have on Warped. It is a very good mix up, and I needed a break before we headed over to Senses Fail. Plus, Meg and Dia (The sisters, not the band) are incredibly attractive. I can't believe my own girl friend didn't even say hi to me in the middle of their set!
Lucky for us, the Hurley.com stage was right next to the Smartpunk stage. I think the band I have seen the most is still Senses Fail, although Underoath is catching up quickly! Coming into Warped, there seemed to be a lot of Senses Fail break up rumors. I actually thought the same. Heath is leaving the band soon, they haven't done much touring, they all seem to have regular jobs, Buddy now has a side project, and their latest effort was about 2 touchdowns weaker than Still Searching (although Still Searching was a near masterpiece). I heard they have a fall tour in the works, but I am still not convinced. I missed the last This Day and Age show, and the last Acceptance show (they announced their break ups after their last tours) so I promised myself if this is the last time I see Senses Fail, it'd be a good one. Senses Fail put on a good show. I don't think they have ever been the best live band and Buddy certainly isn't the greatest singer on this earth, but they have enough passion and energy to make a lot of people happy. The instrumentals are pretty much spot on with the records -- I think. I can't be sure because the way I participate, I feel like I'm not catching everything. Buddy always has some interesting topics to talk about between songs. He reminded us that Brett Favre isn't coming to play for the Vikings (jerk!). But he also had a very good message about the scene becoming a joke. There are so many joke bands out there now because it is so easy to record a decent demo in your basement and create a MySpace profile. As long as your band wears neon skinny jeans, high tops, typical neon band shirt, shutter shades, and a flat brim baseball cap, you are ready to become a scene band. You also can't know how to play actual instruments and need to be completely computer based. Maybe I'm not the one that should judge because I am not good on any instrument. However, that is why I consider playing and instrument a skill, because it is hard and I can't do it. I always joke about making a top 40 album on my keyboard with the samples I have on my computer. That doesn't seem to difficult, but playing a guitar at a high level is something that I am not close to doing. One of the songs I was most excited for was "Family Tradition" (along with "Danger: Wildman" by T.D.W.P) and I was not disappointed. This was the first time I heard any of the songs off L.I.N.A.W.R live and they all sounded good. Hopefully Warped isn't the last time I see Senses Fail.
After Senses Fail it was back to the main stage for Chiodos. We got there in time for a 5 minute breather and then the music started. At this point I'm completely drained. The worst part was Craig had the crowd do all these stunts that made it almost impossible for me to pay attention to the music. At one point he challenged us to beat the world crowd surfing record (apparently held by My Chemical Romance). Many punches were thrown as I absolutely hate crowd surfers. I can handle a few as I understand sometimes that is the best escape route. Especially if I see little girls crowd surfing. I never understand when fat fuckers crowd surf. Why would you do that to us?! I also hate it when I see the same fucker crowd surf more than once. When I do catch someone crowd surf more than once, they will have some sort of mark on their body to remind them not to do it again. A long time ago, I felt bad when I punched someone thinking it was a boy, but it actually turned out to be a girl. It is difficult to tell sometimes since everyone looks like a girl in a Chiodos crowd (except for the prog type emo). Now, everyone just gets punched with out any sympathy. Well, some sympathy. If I didn't show sympathy, there would be a poor individual in the hospital right now getting work done on his male genitalia. When surfers are hanging right in front of me, is when they get it the worst. After the song, Craig said that there would be no more crowd surfing for the rest of their set. A few songs later, he had us do a wall of death for "Best Friends". Chiodos sounded very good, it was just hard to pay attention to them with all the crowd participation. I sound kind of hypocritical because I just complained about how boring a MegDia crowd is, but now I'm complaining about how rowdy a Chiodos crowd is. I just need some balance is all. I need to crowd to be into the music, but too much pushing makes it difficult to pay attention to the music. I guess I'm too much of a circle put guy.
Our first break came after Chiodos and I needed it. I don't think I've ever felt that bad at a Warped since my first Warped tour which is excusable since I had no idea what I was getting into my first time around. An hour gap for us to get drinks, pee, and eat before Underoath. We left some drinks in the car, however they wouldn't let us re-enter after we left the venue. It is good thing Dean is such a sweet talker.
Underoath would be our epic finale. Underoath played around 4:00, but there weren't many bands we needed to see after. Easily the earliest our Warped ended. Not because the Warped lineup was thin, but because they stacked all the acts we wanted to see on top of each other early. If you haven't seen an Underoath set and you are into the scene, then you are obviously not very smart. Easily one of the best live bands in the scene. They sound absolutely perfect and identical to their albums (maybe Aaron's singing is a bit cleaner on the albums), they perform with enough energy to create about 5 atomic bombs, and there are so many other reasons why they are one of my top bands. I knew the set was going to be awesome because it started with a Gatorade bottle landing on me full of yellow Gatorade. Now my face and shirt were full of Gatorade. There isn't I can say to help someone imagine an Underoath set, it is truly an experience. Again, the songs are perfect and it is obvious they practiced their sets because they add theses amazingly intense and epic interludes between their songs. I wish they would just record those interludes and make an album. They ended their set with "In Regards To Myself." That sound of the film projector starting will forever be known to the screamo world through this song.
We wanted to try and catch a bit of the Saosin set before we left, but they overlapped Underoath more than I thought. We left Warped and headed to our traditional post-Warped Taco Bell dinner. This year we were joined by Jeff and first timer Ben. I felt bad for some people in my group because they didn't know many of the bands at Warped. I always safely have about 5 acts at Warped that I have to see. I'd like to think I am pretty diverse when it comes to music. Not as diverse as I once used to be, but I enjoy everything from pop-punk to hardcore. If it is good music, I can listen to it. Now I play the waiting game and prepare myself for that one special Sunday in August.
Thank you Warped Tour! And thanks for all my friends.
(And thank you to Meg&Dia and Warner Bros. Records for getting me in for free!)
