MO at Lincoln Hall 5-28-2014

Last night I had the absolute pleasure of seeing the Danish performer known as MO.  She is touring to promote her debut album No Mythologies to Follow.  It was definitely one of the best shows I've seen.  I love Lykke Li, but I think MO may have stolen her crown.  The energy in Lincoln Hall was amazing.  Her voice was crystal clear.  I have never seen an artist join in the audience so much.  She staged dived on a few occasions, walked through the crowd, and she even sang a song from the balcony right next to me!  Her two encore songs were the highlights of the night, at least for me!  The first was a very cool cover of the Spice Girls hit "Say You'll Be There". I will post a video later.  The next was the high energy "Don't Wanna Dance". It was so high energy, I was worried Lincoln Hall wouldn't be able to contain it, and implode.  Thankfully, the building managed to survive.  I have linked a video to "Don't Wanna Dance" from another show.  The video does not even remotely convey the energy, though.  It was an absolutely amazing show.  If you get the chance to see her live, go!!!!!
 





Welcome!

Hi everyone, and welcome to my little world in the bloggersphere!  I plan on writing on music in general.  I may post about a show I saw, an album I like or anything music related really.  I am no music theorist.  My posts probably won't be too complex.  To me, music doesn't need to be about complicated theories.  It needs to make you feel!  A lot of people I know are very into music.  I think it'd be awesome to grow a little community here.  Hopefully we can get some musical conversation going!  I wants comments and discussions!  No music snobs, though!  If you do comment, please be respectful!

I should talk a little about the type of music I typically like.  I am a huge fan of glam rock and early punk.  Among my favorites are Bowie, T. Rex, The New York Dolls, Johnny Thunders, The Ramones, Blondie, Joan Jett and others similar. As far as current artists I absolutely love Sleigh Bells.  I had the privilege of seeing them at The Metro in the past year.  It was the most amazing show ever!  I also enjoy Lykke Like, El Perro del Mar, Jamaican Queens, Japanther and MO.  I do like some good old cheesy top 40 pop now and again.  I am a Miley fan, but hate Taylor Swift.  The Beatles and The Rolling Stones are among my absolute favorites!  I hope that at least somewhat gives you a feel for my taste in music.  Anyway, I've said enough! Let's see where this goes!
