LeRoi Moore, saxophonist of my one and only Dave Matthews Band, has diedunexpectedly of complications from an ATV accident that happened last June.
i have never seen them live. and now he's dead. i am so seriously sad. i want to cry. i don't want to believe this has happened. sorry, drama. but it's LeRoi. DMB won't be the same. i don't know what to say or do or think. i am grieving over a musician who helped form a big part of who i am. #41, still my favorite song in the world now, won't be the same, ever.
it's on my list of life dreams to see them live...
i will go in this way, and find my own way out... why won't you run into the rain and play? let the tears splash all over you.
rest in peace, o dreadlocked one. thank you. Thank You. THANK YOU. for making music that matters and saves lives.
the last of my kuyas to get married. the ceremony and the reception was much like kuya ricky, no fuss, no muss. kung kaya ni kuya ricky humabol, kaya ko din ;-) pero mag-a-adventures muna 'ko :)
my ex used to call me fangirl. blame these Boston boys who are clearly having just a little too much fun these days :) i really know how to be a good fan (slash stalker? har har), and i daresay the comeback is proof that good, clean fun never goes out of style. yes, they are old, but they were, like, pioneeeers, man! the originals still do it best. the song is smooth and simple pop. aah the days when people wore less emo makeup and had fun dancing more often. don't you love feeling like a kid again? =) a clip from a music awards show. i love that even the young ones are still screaming.
EEEEEEPPPP! catch me, hihimatayin ako! louie! lookit! see, i told you guys in january that we'll experience a 90s redux. *squueeaal*
joey and donnie's still so cute. and they all look good for dudes pushing 40 (nearly). Here's Their Latest Music Video (addictive pop hook, i thought. Me Likey):
awww...gulay that brings me back :) i imagine they were laughing like anything during the silhouette dance seqeunce. my 14-year-old self is smiling like an eejit. now where did i put my nkotb earrings (yes, earrings), collectible cards and file keeper?
upon hearing about the led zep reunion concert, which some very lucky people like vernon go got to see in december last year, here was what mefite user melissa may had to say:
"NO.
Look, I'm sorry. I listened to "Stairway to Heaven" in my junior high creative writing class like everyone else. I was traumatized by Robert Plant singing adult contemporary music in a Tom Wolfe suit in my later youth, like everyone else. I didn't understand what the BFD was about Led Zeppelin, like everyone else (who barely stirred themselves to post "meh" here with their little finger).
Then I listened to "Kashmir" on the way home from the lake one summer night, that cool wind in my hair, weedily altered but not too, just that nice little itch. And I finally got it, got what millions of beautiful golden hair hippie-rocker girls got before me. I got the fever for Robert Plant.
I have never heard another man able to sing so softly and sweetly and worshipfully about beautiful ladies in the garden filled with faeries and talking animals and hooded druids holding lamps and whatnot, and then moments later scream and howl like a wounded beast because he wants to f**k them by the hedgerow until they all die from the sheer sweaty joy of it. (I apologize for being so crass but there's really no polite way to put it, I'm afraid.) Robert Plant makes the unicorn poster on your childhood wall okay. Robert Plant also makes your later insatiable bloody lust, denied by every church and state, okay. In fact, he makes it glorious.
I cannot bear to watch him, old and baggy as a bulldog, try to recapture that. I can't and I won't. It's not right to expect any human man to walk outside of time but I expected it of Robert Plant, who has trafficked with dark forces and has the penis that can cure major depression to prove it. It's not right to ask him to be a beautiful god forever, but I am.
Please don't do this, Robert Plant. Please. If it's the money, a lot of older, sadder, but sometimes richer grey-haired ladies will cut you a check. Just say the word."
after the concert, here's what some other mefites said:
"Is it me, or does Robert Plant look like Theoden?" (notsnot)
"I'm sure we can expect a reunion tour as long as no one chokes to death on his Lipitor." (planetkyoto)
"Here's a fact I read somewhere: Of all the men who have read Lord of the Rings more than three times, Robert Plant has slept with the most women." (stupidsexyflanders)
(mefites, i shall remove anything here if you so like. just lemme know. it's just that all yoru words--i think--are just too precious to be kept in the forum :) )
See, Carlo, geeks end up with adoration in the end ;-)
After almost 12 years of making the youthful cry and the hipsters balk, open-hearted musical Rent counts it's last 525,600 minutes.
If you want to read more about the play's closing this June, hop on over to the New York Times website. I'll be too busy locking myself in my room with SoftBatch cookies and defending myself from the cooler and more intellectual people who'll be laughing at my dilemma.
I like this quote from the paper, "Rent is nothing, if not earnest." Earnest is always enough for me.
a bomb went off yesterday at the mall near where I live.
somebody says it's the government diverting attention from impeachment calls. another says its a destabilization plot. either way, it's a stupid way to try and accomplish something, whichever party you belong to.
you injure hundreds and kill some. what's that going to do? get people angry, that's what. get people angry at both parties. what an utterly cowardly thing to do.
seriously. sowing anarchy? with the way things have been going these past years, we're all anarchists to a degree already. you wanna come up with a stronger and more critical "anarchist" mass? sorta defies the definition, don't you think?
sometimes, i wonder whether so-called freedom fighters really know the concept at all.
