Lights From Space

This is what I've been carjamming to for the last 2 days. Caught these guys on a random Tuesday whim at the Sunset in Ballard this week. They opened for Freehands and stole the show. Great tempo and edgy, catchy vocals. Chatted a bit with the band after the show and got the run-down on their upcoming CD Release Party in Sodo on Saturday th 25th of June. Unfortunately, I likely won't be in attendance due to previously scheduled bachelorette debauchery. But I would love to see these guys again and if my memory serves me... they'll be unveiling a video as well that night.

I'm a fan. Fave track on this list... "She's the Kind" but to be honest... I kinda dig them all! Can't wait to catch them again soon!

Remember to Remember...

This blog is just a personal exploration of music and represents my preference and perspective (for whatever, if anything, that's worth). The site is dubbed "Idyl Time" because I soon realized that a large majority of my "idle" time is spent on music and who doesn't love a good play on words? I stumbled on the definition of "idyl" in a book I was reading and thought it worked as a title for this endeavor because each piece of music I'm examining here is a composition (be it not necessarily pastoral). But, when you discover a connection with a song, an album, an artist or a show it can truly border on an inconsequential affair; in that... it tugs on the very strings of your heart and can pinch you ever so lightly (or painfully) in the most secret of places. Music can transport you in an instant to a person, place or memory that still holds a dear (or dark) place in your heart. It's something so private and so personal and so inherently unique to each listener. It's a relationship that obviously has no tangible relevance on your day to day existence but at the same time can represent a "romantic affair" or attachment of some sort. I've personally always attempted to operate with a hap-hazard, caution-to-the-wind, attitude towards life and all it's offerings for experience. Better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all (which beyond relationships, can refer to all the windows and doors that life affords you). I guess my point is, you may have tried, you may have failed, you may have loved, you may have lost, but you took a chance. And you still have your memories and the music they're dressed in. For whatever that's worth.
