EMPIRE OF THE SUN

SO THIS BAND RIGHT HERE HAS BEEN AND WILL BE MY ULTIMATE FAVORITE RIGHT NOW AND FOREVER ...THIS AUSSIE BAND CAME INTO THE SCENE AROUND 2008. WHEN I FIRST HEARD THEM WAS ACTUALLY FROM MY DAD!!! THEIR SONG "WALKING ON A DREAM" WAS FEATURED ON A VIZIO COMMERICAL (LED LCD HDTV) BACK IN 2009 AND MY DAD I GUESS HEARD IT, DVR-ED IT AND PLAYED IT FOR ME. DAD- "HEY BOOBOO WHAT SONG IS THIS?" ME- "I DON'T KNOW I'LL SHAZAAM IT ;)" SO FIGURED OUT THE SONG DOWNLOADED IT FOR HIM AND HE WAS HAPPY. I WAS MORE HAPPY TO REALIZE THIS WAS NOT JUST ANY BAND WITH ONE GOOD SONG THE WHOLE CD IS CRAZY, FUNKY AND SOMETHING WAYYY NEW ;) ITS UNFORTUNATE THAT THEY CAME AROUND THE WHOLE GLAM INDIE SCENE (MGMT) AND PEEPS DIDNT REALLY GIVE THEM A CHANCE IN THE U.S. BUT I DID. AND IN 2010 THEY WERE NAMED ONE OF THE TOP 10 BANDS YOU HAVE TO SEE LIVE ACCORDING TO MIXMAG!!! SO WHEN THEY WERE ON THE COACHELLA APRIL 2011 LINEUP I WAS HELLA EXCITED. IT WAS CRAZY PACKED AT THE OUTDOOR THEATER. NOT ONLY DO THESE PEOPLE LOOK EXACTLY WHAT THEY DO ON THEIR ALBUM COVERS THEY PUT ON AN AMAZING SHOW ...SERIOUSLY YOU CANT TAKE YOUR EYES OF THESE CREATURES :) AND AGAIN THEN WERE AT EDC JUNE 2011 AND AT THE MOTORSPEED WAY IT WAS PRETTY PATCHY ..EASY TO GO TO THE FRONT SO I WAS STOKED ;) (THESE ARENT MY PICS )

SO FINALLY THE NEW ALBUM IS HERE AND AGAIN EVERY SONG CAN BE A SUMMER ANTHEM !! ITS BEEN 2 YEARS SINCE IVE SEEN THEM AND THEY PERFORMED AT EDC2013 AND AGAIN .....HELL YEAH THE OPENING SONG TO MY FIRST FAVORITE "SWORDFISH HOTKISS NIGHT" AND OTHER FAVORITE "TIGER BY MY SIDE" aghh FUCKIN EPIC. SO I SAY CHECK OUT THIS BAD AND DONT HATE ..... APPRECIATE. THE MUSIC    THE DANCERS    THE LIGHTS AGHHHHH

KID CUDI W/ MICHAEL BOLTON?

AFTERWARDS (BRING YO FRIENDS)
 

WOW NEVER WOULD HAVE THOUGHT I WOULD SEE THESE 2 TOGETHER ;) I GUESS KID CUDI GREW UP TO LISTENING TO MICHAEL BOLTON AND WAS A HUGE FAN. AFTER HEARING BOLTON'S COLLABORATION WITH THE LONELY ISLAND, KUDI WANTED TO TO USE HIS "MIGHTINESS" OF HIS VOICE (GREAT ADJECTIVE) .... SO AFTER A COUPLE OF HOURS IN THE STUDIO THEY CAME OUT WITH THIS SONG ...THAT I JUST LOVE AND IS SOOO COOL AND HIP.  CUDI'S NEW ALBUM IS NOT ONLY  NEW RHYMES AND FRESH BEATS BUT DISCOVERING SOME HIP NOISE

SO SINCE WMC (WINTER MUSIC CONFERENCE) IS GOING OFF TODAY MARCH 15TH-24TH IN MIAMI, FL... I DECIDED TO PUT A POST UP ABOUT MY EXPERIENCE AT WMC/UMF WHICH WAS BACK IN 2006 & 2007. WMC IS THE MOST ANTICIPATED AND PUBLICIZED ANNUAL MUSIC GATHERINGS IN THE WORLD. THERE ARE ABOUT 500 INDIVIDUAL EVENTS DURING THE WEEK OF THE CONFERENCE THAT TAKES PLACE  BUT NOW THAT THEY EXTENDED IT TO 2 WEEKS ($$$$) IM SURE THERE ARE WAY MORE.   WENT BACK TO BACK YEARS AND HAVENT BEEN BACK SINCE ;( YES ITS A LOT OF MONEY BUTTOTALLY WORTH MEETING COOL PEEPS, VISITING THE LOVELY MIAMI AND OF COURSE THE MUSIC ..... BUT I WONDER HOW IT IS NOW SINCE IT SOOOO MAINSTREAM ..I GUESS I HAVE TO GO BACK AND SEE MYSELF. WHO IS DOWN ? 2014?
