Music Monday #18

I actually thought about not making one today, because I've already written about the All Time Low concert, but I am very nervous right now, because I have to go to the court in just over an hour...

I really like it when amazon makes these things like 3 CDs for 15€, so I bought 3 - okay 4 - CDs today. Those 3 would've been about 30€ together without the reduction.

So I bought:

• "Folie à Deux" by Fall Out Boy
• "Save Rock And Roll" by Fall Out Boy
• "Hold Me Down" by You Me At Six

I also bought "Take This To Your Grave" by Fall Out Boy and I am super happy about that, because on this album is the first song by FOB I have ever listened to: "Chicago Is So Two Years Ago".

Well, actually, it was "Chicago (Dance Remix)" and I really don't know if I like the album version or the remix more... I also still remember how it came to me getting this remix. A friend of mine and I were on the bus home from school (that had to be about 5-6 years ago) and she send me this song via bluetooth (we were very cool!!). I also remember listening to this song on repeat, but never listening to other songs by Fall Out Boy - let alone the original version. I did listen to the original version some years later - and I didn't like it that much... But now I think both version are perfect.

And "Chicago Is So Two Years Ago" will probably always be my favourite song by Fall Out Boy - and "Nobody Puts Baby In The Corner". ☺

All Time Low [Hamburg 2015-03-12]

Last thursday I was at my first All Time Low concert so far! (I will see them in June at Hurricane)

It was incredible. Perfect.

Real Friends and Neck Deep were supporting them and they were both great!

I saw Real Friends last year in May on their headline tour, so I was really looking forward to seeing them again. And they definitely didn't disappoint me. Well, the set was too short actually, but they were the first support, so it was okay.

Neck Deep were really good, too. They also played the only song I knew by them, so I could at least sing along to one song.

And then it was All Time Low's turn.

They started at about 9:30pm with "Lost In Stereo" (do they always start off with this song?). They played two hours and also some of my favourite songs including "The Reckless And The Brave", "Somewhere In Neverland", "Weightless", "Damned If I Do Ya (Damned If I Don't)", "Time-Bomb" (where they got people onto the stage), "Therapy" and so many more!

(Except for my all-time-favourite "Break Your Little Heart", but Twin Atlantic also didn't play "Audience And Audio" so...)

They also played "Kids In The Dark" live for the first time ever! And during "Something's Gotta Give" many people help up signs that said "We Are Future Hearts" which some girl gave out in the queue in front of the venue (it's on my wall  now).

Before they played their last songs (the very last songs was of course "Dear Maria (Count Me In)") they covered some songs: "American Idiot" by Green Day, "The Middle" by Jimmy Eat Wold, "All The Small Things" by blink-182 (someone in the crowd asked them to play that!) and the beginning of "Eye Of The Tiger" by Survivor.

But still the best thing was probably the conversations between songs. Someone on Instagram said, they wanted to count the sexual references they made, but it were too much! And I can agree with that! They also got bras - which my girlfriend didn't understand. Well, I kinda dragged her to the concert!

After the last song the music in the venue started again and it was "Uptown Funk" so Alex, Jack, Zack and Rian kinda danced and sang along to that on stage! And I got it stuck in m head...

This was the best night I've had in a really long time and it made me so happy. Like actually happy. I haven't been this happy in far too - I kind of forgot how it felt. Which is also really bad because now, after the concert, it's away but I still now how it felt. And I want that again. But I probably won't be that happy for some time now and that makes me really sad. I just want to go back.

[Also, my SD card is kinda broken so I can't put photos or videos up.

I just hope someone can fix this without deleting all of my memories of the concert!

I also took about three pictures and one video with my mobile phone but the quality is really bad.]

Music Monday #17

I almost forgot to make this post because I thought it was already Tuesday, whoops.

This post will be about covers. Mainly because I mostly don't like cover versions of songs.
Espacially not of songs that I like. Sometimes covers of songs that I don't like are good - but not always.
But there's someone who's covers I will (probably) always like. His voice is just perfect and the first cover I listened to was even more than perfect.
I'm talking about Jono Yates, the guitarist of Blitz Kids (one of my favourite bands by the way).
And it was the cover of Sia's "Elastic Heart". I immediately fell in love with this song. With Jono's voice, the guitar and also the lyrics (well, credits to Sia or whoever wrote the songs for her).
I only listened to the original song about some days ago. It's not bad, but it's not the kind of music I listen to. I mean, I really like Sia's voice, but that's all.

Some days ago (two or three) Jono uploaded a new cover! "All On Black" by Alkaline Trio and again it was better than the original song!

Actually I just want everyone who reads this to listen to his covers!

• YouTube Channel
• "Elastic Heart" (Cover)
• "All On Black" (Cover)

Music Monday #16

Today was my last exam! Yay!
It was physics and I really don't know if it was good or bad. I just hope it was enough for 50%.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But anyway, to celebrate or treat myself I bought some music today!

No. 1
twenty øne pilots - "Vessel" ♥

It's my first album by twenty øne pilots but I knew a few songs before. I love how the meaning is always like "stay alive", it's so motivating - still some of the music is very dark. But not a "scary" kind of dark. Kind of a good kind.







No. 2
Gerard Way - "Hesitant Alien"

Actually I wanted to buy this album sooner. I don't know why I didn't. It's perfect.











No. 3
Panic! At The Disco - "A Fever You Can't Sweat Out"

I just had to have this album. I love it! (:
