Alright, I needed a break from studying. I'm trying to prepare for my nursing boards (NCLEX) that I'm taking on June 1st and it's a bitch to study for. I know that other professions have more difficult tests that they have to show competency, but trying to review 4 years of nursing classes and disease states and interventions and meds, and treatments and god knows what else really gets boring after studying for 6-8 hours a day everyday of the week. I can't really complain because this is helping me brush up on my skills and that's a great thing because I should be starting my job June 6th.
Anyways, in fun news, I'll be seeing Red Fang on Wednesday. Red Fang is a straight up rock and roll band with a little bit of a sludge/stoner-metal influence going for them which is pretty damn awesome as far as I'm concerned.
Check out their video from their newest album, Murder the Mountains. Even if you're not a fan of hard rock, I suggest you check it out because it's a glorious video concept and it's a pretty damn good song regardless.
Anyways, that's enough about that. Tomorrow I'll be going to the KNDS block party with Mr. Day and it's shaping up to be a pretty fun night. Starting off the night S. Carey (tour drummer for Bon Iver (it's pretty much required to mention that when you mention S. Carey)), Dark Dark Dark, and Tiny Moving Parts will be free to the public. I'm really excited to see S. Carey and Dark Dark Dark, but the real treat is the 21+ show afterwords.
The headliner is Har Mar Superstar and it's a dude I've never heard of before last week, but boy have I been missing out. This dude is the shit and if he didn't look the way he does he would be ridiculously famous. Just check out a couple of videos of his...
Yeah, I don't see what could go wrong and it only costs 5 bucks to see him perform. According to his Wiki article he's usually stripped down to a Speedo at some point during the show. This might rival the craziness that I was able to see when I went to a Gwar concert.
Congratulations, graduate. I know you follow Pitchfork pretty closely, but just in case you haven't discovered this ridiculous nighttime/party album, I'll post it here for you.
Well folks, I'm graduating today. These last four years at Concordia have been truly amazing and it's hard to put into words what I'm feeling. I guess this is just one more step towards growing up and being a real person.
