I did not realize that I neglected my blog for so long. I do not have many followers, yet. So it may not matter to anyone. But the point of this blog it not to become the next Internet phenom, those are not my intentions at all believe me. My only intention is to write about what I know best; music.
So while I have been away I have seen Morrissey in concert, twice. And might I say, he is amazing. He is rumored to retire, but I hope he doesn't, he still sounds incredible. I have seen Friendly Fires as apart of the Nylon Winter Music Tour. They keep getting better and better. And who can resist cute British boys?

I have come to love
A band called 'Hadouken' from the UK.
Their beats are hypnotizing and are unlike anything I've ever heard before. They're fresh, young and extremely talented individuals. I found them via nme.com a couple years back and have been in love ever since. I cannot wait for them to come to make their U.S. tour debut. They're the kind of band who have this raw energy and would put on a fantastic show. It would be impossible to stand still.
They have one album out titled 'Music For An Accelerated Culture' available through itunes and they have recently released their single and an EP today titled 'M.A.D.' also available through itunes. I've heard it, verdict: I love it.
Please support the band. Don't pirate their music.

Noel Gallagher Leaves Oasis
Noel left Oasis.
bummerrrrrrrr.
Well, at least I got to see them before they broke up.
Last year when i had seen them, I had heard that not only were they not staying on the same floor of the hotel, they were staying in different hotels all together. And while they were on stage, Noel wouldn't even look at Liam.
I was reading an interview in NME last week how Noel said it takes "More than blood to be my brother", in reference to Liam. For the sake of music, can't they just get a long?
I'm sure they'll get back together. I swear if they weren't brothers, I would think they're an old married couple.

Franz Ferdinand @ The Hollywood Palladium
For those of you who were not lucky enough to get your hands on some tickets or were hesitant, you missed a GREAT show. The newly remodeled Hollywood Palladium on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood is one of my favorite places to watch a concert. It's intimate, newly restored and has great lighting.
The band played a total of 17 songs. I think they balanced the albums pretty well. They played a handful from each album and my Franz pallet was satisfied.
Before the show, I got to meet Nick McCarthy (keyboard/guitar/backing vocals), my favorite member of Franz Ferdinand as he was walking down Sunset Boulevard.
He is the nicest celebrity/musician I have ever met. He's kind, sweet and a bit of a flirt if I may add.
Set List:

Friendly Fires @ The El Rey Theater
This was my first time seeing friendly Fires live, and I loved every minute of it. I wanted to see them the last time they came to LA at the Troubadour but it sold out. Anywho, I got my best friend tickets as apart of her birthday gift and I'm so glad I did. They came out with a raw energy, they got the crowd dancing and jumping. Lead singer Ed McFarlane has big stage presence and his dance moves although may be odd to some, suit him well and he looks rather cute doing them. I guess it's just something you have to see for yourself. They played the entire first album including their new single "Kiss Of Life".
Friendly Fires are coming back to Los Angeles in November and are playing @ The Music Box.
