C'Mon

Whew. That last entry must have really taken it out of me. Note to self: never do that again. I've also realized how difficult it is to keep up a blog without internet access at one's place of residence. Bah. Well, on to the music.

Death Cab's new single, "You Are a Tourist," is awesome. Yes, it's Death Cab, they have a signature sound, and you think after so many albums you'd get a little tired of it. Not the case. They had me at the guitar riff. It also has a sweet music video, check it out.



The entire album comes out May 31st. I'm excited to see what Death Cab has in store for me this year. Also, I now have my ticket for their Salt Lake show in August. I'm kinda ticked it's in a stadium, so the sound could be lousy, but whatever, I'm still excited.

Now. One of my favorite bands I've been listening to for the past few years is called "fun." F-U-N-period. All lower case. Mr. Nate was in the Format before, but they split, and then he, Andrew, and Jack got together with some sweet musicians and recorded an album. Yes, maybe I have a slightly greater love for them because two of the three band members have my brothers' names, but their music rocks. Pop-rocks. The only word I can use to accurately describe the album is "fun." Pure, wonderful, fun. Check out their album if you feel like smiling.

Panic! at the Disco and fun. are beginning their tour today. And guess where they skip. Utah. Go figure. Then I thought, wait, I'll be in Boston for most of the summer anyway, and I'm sure they play there... and they do! I checked! In... May. Boo. This may be one of the greatest band-combos touring together, and I'm missing it. Yes, I cried quietly to myself as reality sank in. And, as if to anger me further, the two recorded a single together entitled "C'Mon." I can just hear them... C'Mon Rhiannon, why aren't you listening to us play, hmm? Everybody's doing it... The single's great, although I think it'd be way more accurate to say it's by fun. featuring Panic! at the Disco rather than the other way around. It sounds like fun. Not Panic. Lo siento, muchachos.

That's all for now, Rhi is out.
