o2.19.2o12. – The show started with “Mentality” a track off their new album that was released just weeks prior. Lead singer Jacob Hemphill was sure to thank the crowd for coming out and supporting their band and it’s message. It was amazing to be surrounded by like-minded people all there for music supporting such a deserving band. Being a fan of their music and having listened to them from back when they opened for Rebelution it was awesome so see them as a headliner. It’s endearing to see people so thankful and appreciative for their fans. The perfect mix of classics and new creations filled The Cabooze while a couple hundred fans sang along to each word for the entire 2 hours they played. They closed the show with “When We Were Younger” and without doubt were demanded back on stage for an encore. The set closed with “Everything Changes” which is one of the more popular songs they have and the crowd as so happy and full of energy. It’s truely a humbling experience to see them live and feel their passion for what they do. Every song the have has a message of a better world and it’s very obvous that they put their all in each note. I would highly recommend attending their show to anyone even if they don’t think they connect with reggae music. This band truely believes in the powere of music and with that power they intend to change the world someday.
happy valentines day. love, bonnaroo.

born this way ball.

It’s official Born This Way Ball will start this April in Korea according to Lady Gaga’s latest tweet. American Dates have not been released yet but she did reveal that 110 performances are taking place. We most likely will not see Mother Monster in the states until 2013 but rest assured “The Born This Way Ball is an Electro-Metal Pop-Opera; the tale of the Beginning, the genesis of the Kingdom of Fame. How we were birthed and how we will die celebrating.”
Who’s excited?! This girl.
beats.
This could be debated as the best purchase of my life.
At first being the girl in me is attracted to anything pink and the fact I was traveling to New York made me want to splurge and invest in a pair of Dre Beats headphones but I fought the urge because “no one needs a pair of heed phones that cost $299.99.” Well I was wrong.
Last week my boyfriend surprised me with a pair of the headphones for my birthday. And I promise you I have not been able to stop listening, thinking about listening and being disappointed with the music quality all around me since I first put them on. Now being that I am a huge fan of live music and wouldn’t prefer to hear it any other these headphones are close to a miracle cure for my addiction. They have built in bass so you literally feel the music as if you are actually there live. I mean physically feel the bass. This alone is a selling point for me. The headphones come with a carrying case which is nice for travel and are extremely comfortable for the first few hours of use. They also block out all sound around you so you can zone of entirely and take in only music if you please. Anyone who listens to and loves music should own a pair. Also for those who are skeptical because of the price, Best Buy offers a protection plan for $40.00/ 2 years and wear or damage you cause or if something happens by design malfunction, all covered. No worries. Do yourself a favor & by them with your tax return. :]
nothing mattered but the music.
Counting down the days until Lollapalooza 2012.
Thinking about years past.
After three amazing days of history in the making the energy level as fallen from its peak. I’m now standing in the puddles from the rain that fell hours ago with two of my very best friends anxiously awaiting the final set. Suddenly the sky gets a little darker and you can feel the rain coming. The skyline of Chicago surrounding us and I’m still in awe we’re actually here. It’s a little past 8 now and the rain starts to fall slowly. Everyone starts to seek shelter and the beat drops. The crowd falls silent and suddenly thousands of people start to move towards the brightly light stage as Deadmau5 starts his set. In that moment no one cared about a thing. As the field below us turned to mud, nobody stopped dancing. Complete strangers moving together as some tried to fight their way to the stage. It’s down pouring now and still no one seems to notice. The vibrations of the bass pulsate throughout the crowd and the outline of a mouse reigns above all. Nothing mattered but the music. – http://xoxoky.tumblr.com/

my newest addiction: pinterest.
A few months ago I was playing around on the internet and stumbled across this site called Pinterest. It’s a vitural pinboard for the things you stumble across or like online. People can collaborate their ideas and “pin” them to the site so others can browse through them as well and be inspired. Fashion, art, music, travel, are some of the more common topics but their really is a little bit of something for everyone. Face book as just recently caught on to the trend allowing you to “pin” things from the site to your profile so the two sites are linked. I personally think this might become a tad annoying since I literally pin everything I see on the site so I’m thinking people wont want to overload their Facebooks but I guess we’ll see. Anyways, that’s my update on the newest social media trend. It is an invite site so you need to know someone already on the website to invite you or request one which takes a few days. If you’d like to check it out message me your email address & i’ll send you an invite. pinterest.com
