Oh my god it's been a whopper of a day already! I got a bunch of birthday texts/IMs/Facebook messages, cards, my aunt called and my uncle stopped over with balloons, a card with a hundred dollars in it, and an ice cream cake. I am going to have that cake, the one my family made, and a cheesecake coming in tomorrow. x_X

I suppose by my experience you mean I have to have seen it. That's a bit difficult, because I haven't seen anything that has been described as legendary by anyone but myself, but looking at the other answers, it seems to be shows I have seen. Um, okay...so what has been legendary to me...(All dates are guesses unless I know them for sure,and this is in order.)



Rufus Wainwright - Live at Radio City Music Hall, New York, NY, February 14th, 2008. This has been my first and only musical concert event at Radio City, which was plenty reason enough to make this show legendary. A gorgeous venue paired with a gorgeous concert. Rufus performed flawlessly through his entire latest album, 2007's Release the Stars, old songs of his catalogue, old classics and covers. The show was probably three hours and Rufus had a lot of steam. Overall it was the most sophisticated concert I have ever been to. Jeans and a t-shirt simply wouldn't cut it for this one.



Velvet Revolver - Live at the Sovereign Bank Arena, Trenton, NJ, December 30th, 2007. Though this isn't a show I particularly enjoyed to its utter limits, it is legendary for two reasons. The first being that it was the quickest concert I ever decided to attend. I either decided to go the day of or the day before, though I think it was the day of, got tickets and attended. The second reason is that it was one of Velvet Revolver's last shows with Scott Weiland as their singer. For those two reasons alone, and seeing rock icons like Weiland and Slash, this show is under the legendary category for me.



Audioslave - Live at the Electric Factory, Philadelphia, PA, April 22nd, 2005. This show was legendary to me because it stood as my first concert experience, which is an irreplacable and definitive memory. Not only that, but it was a blistering rock show and my first experience with rough, crazy and moshing crowds. I remember little of the setlist, know this was before Out of Exile was released and therefore the new songs that were played were either off that album, the first album or rarities they never would release. I do believe this was before the Soundgarden/Rage assimilation into their setlists, but I could be wrong on this.



Fiona Apple - Live at the Camden Waterfront, Camden, NJ, July 29th, 2006. By far one of my favorite concert events, and legendary for the fact that to this day this is the only female headlining act I have bothered to see. Besides that, the fact that Fiona tours so rarely these days makes attending this show more of a gem, and considering that I had only gotten into her in March of that year and her last tour was a co-headliner with Nickel Creek, I am infinitely glad I jumped on this one when I did. Being like a foot away from her when she played Criminal and Extraordinary Machine is a totally priceless memory.

And by far what I deem my most legendary show...



Eddie Vedder - Live at the Warner Theater, Washington DC, August 17th, 2008. Eddie Vedder's April Fool's tour in spring of 2008 was his first jaunt without Pearl Jam on the road with him, so when he decided to reprise a solo tour in support of the Into the Wild soundtrack, I made it a MUST to attend, even if my wallet was hurting from the Pearl Jam gig in June. Venturing to DC all the way from Jersey only adds more to the lure that was this special and intimate night, with Eddie employing solo songs, Pearl Jam lullabies, rarities, covers and more in some of the best two hours of my life.

Literally my only tools.

Instead of being depressed because I was brushed off again tonight, I decided to use my energies in a more interesting fashion. Here is, for the first time in a long time, a recording of singing that I've done. It's all Conor Oberst/Bright Eyes stuff. I've considered recording for a while, but never felt like getting the mic hooked up to do so, so tonight when the urge struck, I abided. You may not know this music, but that's okay. I don't either.

Here's what I did:

Lenders in the Temple (cut-off) - Conor Oberst
Danny Callahan - Conor Oberst
Tourist Trap - Bright Eyes
When the Brakeman Turns My Way - Bright Eyes
Lenders in the Temple (full) - Conor Oberst

Okay, damn. I really like this. I sound very good, and for a free microphone that came with my dad's computer that I stole, it recorded pretty well. I'm not even embarrassed to listen to myself. Sorry for the empty space in between as I try to remember songs. My mind was fucking BLANK. That's why unless they were in front of me, I messed up on lyrics more than Eddie Vedder after more than half a bottle of wine at a Pearl Jam gig.

Today the greatest voice in music would have been 42.

If you've stumbled upon this message, you are viewing the first journal change of mine in two years. Do not be alarmed; changes will be increasingly made, but the basic layout is in order. Huge thanks to rage2012 , for without his assistance this would not be possible.

Thank you and goodnight.

The other day, out of nowhere, the spell check feature on my Microsoft Word stopped working halfway. If there's a spelling error, with the red squiggle, the spell check picks it up and tries to fix it, but if there's a grammatical error (or what it claims to be one), with the green squiggle, and I hit spell check it gives me the message that the spell check is complete without going through the grammatical errors. This is extremely annoying to look at the green squiggles, as I write a lot a lot and have to look at Word quite a bit. For what it's worth, my version of Word has and always was Word 2003, and nope, don't think I need an upgrade because I doubt my sytem could handle Word 2007. And nope, I didn't mess with any settings either.

If someone could either

a.) Offer a solution here

or

b.) Link me to a comm or site where I can harrass people and get an answer

that would be great! Really. :)

For your listening pleasure! XD I KNOW I have played with this more than one person should have, but oh well.

My first one, a mix of Spoonman primarily and Part of Me, not so much included">

Mix number two, Jesus Christ Pose vs. Ground Zero. Still I wasn't sold on the new stuff

Getting better as I go along...Jesus Christ Pose again, and Ground Zero, except more Ground Zero and this is a lot better

My first mixing with Watch Out, and oh, MOAR Jesus Christ Pose...this is a bit noisy

Mix number five, Scream and Black Hole Sun. I really like this one's concept, though it's sloppy, and it's perfected later

More with Watch Out, because it's got some great riffage. This is again mixed with Jesus Christ Pose, but it's less noisy and cooler, and the end kicks ass

Ah yes, the SOUNDGARDEN hybrid, The Day I Tried to Live and Pretty Noose, take one

Mix number eight, switching the combination of the last two songs to include more of my favorite, the Day I Tried to Live

Part of Me and Spoonman get aggressively techno, y'all. Rwarrr. Still has some flaws though

Monday's last mix...Ooooh, this is sorta creepy sounding, and though I tried to make it perfect, it's hard with this program

Part of Me and Spoonman thrown together in a much more fluid fashion, because I am awesome like that

Scream and Black Hole Sun...this is my favorite, simply put, especially how I interject the 'throwing out the blame' line from 'I said why you keep screaming at the top of your head'. Genius

The newest baby...SOUNDGARDEN hybrid once more :)

Make your own, guys! XD
