The first one I found was even eerier..I pulled a camping chair out of it's sleeve to sit and have a brewsky and enjoy the breeze. Good thing I checked first. She had a nice big egg sac ready to pop too. What really scares me is that I have a 2 year old that LOVES hanging out in the garage while Daddy builds/fixes things.
Sad thing is, you can't really control them. They mate and reproduce like rabbits and disperse so quickly that it's almost impossible to control. Ah well...just gotta make sure to keep an eye out for them.
I spent Sunday-Tuesday over in Tampa with my girlfriend, staying at my sisters house. Sunday we went to the Rays game and saw them lose to the Marlins 6-1. Then on Monday night we saw a band called Passion Pit play at a club in Ybor City. Easily the best concert I have ever been too. Sold out, amazing crowd and energy, with one of my favorite bands in my favorite music venue.
View from our seats at the Rays game. Taken from my phone so not the best quality.
View from where we were standing. The vibe in that place was incredible. Taken with my phone so, again, not the best quality.
Later that night, after the concert, sweating our butts off... not only was it in the 80s and humid that night, but inside the venue it had to have been over 100 degrees and the place was jam packed.

<< <i>Then on Monday night we saw a band called Passion Pit play at a club in Ybor City. Easily the best concert I have ever been too.
no offense, but if a Passion Pit gig is the best concert you've ever been to then you need to get out to more shows. >>
Sorry you don't approve of my taste in music. I can understand how people don't like that type of music. Obviously others enjoy their music though considering the show sold out and every person in the place was going nuts. They're one of my favorite bands and the concert IS the best I have ever been to (I have been to plenty). What do you suggest?
it's ok man, I was just busting your marbles. I'm familiar with them, it's just bands like this (Cut Copy, Disco Biscuits etc) grill my filet because my girlfriend drags me to these types of shows (Faint, Hot Hot Heat, Radio 4 etc too)...and it bothers me that people lump bands like these into the "indie" category because it's simply pop music that isn't well known enough to be labeled pop. It's music you'll hear in the next VW Jetta ad. If it were 1984, it's music that would be in heavy rotation on your local Top 40 station. I think the Globe t-shirt threw me off...I'd expect to see you report on a Vandals, NOFX, or MXPX show or something.

Understandable! I have pretty broad music tastes and listen to a wide variety of stuff. You look at my itunes account and I cover the majority of genres with the only major omission being country... just can't get into the slow "lets drink beer and fall in love with a southern twang-ness" of it
BTW: Don't let the Globe shirt fool you, the surf/skate scene can get down with Passion Pit haha. They're actually pretty popular where I'm from.
I have pretty broad music tastes and listen to a wide variety of stuff. You look at my itunes account and I cover the majority of genres with the only major omission being country.
While in college I started working for the Secretly Canadian indie label. I entered figuring people would be really impressed with my prized collection of New Zealand - Flying Nun label - indie rock...and then you shortly realize that there are people that have thousands of reggae or long forgotten garage bands 7" records from decades gone by of artists you've never heard of. Artists/bands you'd never find on iTunes or whichever boot site one uses to rip music, or even on AMG or whichever music reference site one might visit. Artists who pressed 100 copies of said 7" and sold them out of their beat up Ford Econoline vans. Then you start helping promote shows for the label's bands and meeting fans of the bands from other countries and start listening to their own bands...Polish punk bands, Hungarian shoegazers, Italian darkwave, Swedish chamber pop, Norwegian death metal bands(definitely not a fan), little known Japanese bands that cover obscure Canadian power-pop bands like The Pointed Sticks (they're a huge deal in Japan...it took a nation of rabid Japanese fans to get a Vancouver band to reform for a tour) Cambodian folk artists etc. Then you meet the rep for a fairly well known Irish actor who calls the office looking to get in contact with one of our former artists to get clearance on using his music in his indie film...then learn said actor apparently has an enormous Cuban Jazz record collection. The gist of the story is there's always someone out there whose record collection or iPod will blow yours away in terms of diversity, obscurity, and sheer awe...no matter how many Passion Pit b-sides or live bootlegs you have loaded up. btw even though I'm more of a snowboarder up here, there is some Etnies, World Industries, and Volcom gear next to my Forum and Ride shells in the closet. Not much surfing gets done on Lake Michigan.
Must have been a crazy experience! I've heard of Secretly canadian through Animal Collective and Yeasayer. I'm guessing you didn't work with them since they're more recent, huh?

Oh yeah I know there are some people out there with some REAL music diversity, but for many 19 year olds now a days it's sadly impressive if your music collection goes beyond Drake and Lil Wayne. That's the one thing I couldn't stand about my roommate this past year. I was studying and playing The Doors one night and he was like "what the hell's this?"....it's THE DOORS! Jim Morrison is from right in my area too, so it hit extra hard! haha.
Anyways, I met a kid at school this past year that has separate ipods for each genre... even individual ipods for sub genres like Classic Rock and stuff like that. My hippy aunt that spends most of her time going to music festivals throughout Florida has something like 30,000 songs from folk and blues bands that no more than a few thousand people have ever heard of. It really is amazing how music sharing sites and places like itunes have really opened up the world musically. I have quite a bit of music from some random bands down in Australia...back in the day I would've had to have flown there myself to pick them up. Now I click a button and they're all at my fingertips.
And I've always wanted to try snowboarding, but not too many snows or hills down here...
So basically my kid won't be able to go to college, but at least I'll have a set where the three most expensive cards are of a player I despise ~ CDsNuts
Animal Collective was never on our roster. We just helped them distribute the live album Hollinndagain in 2002 but it was officially a PawTracks release. They then recorded for Fatcat initially and now EMI...but yes i would have been there at that time if they had signed with us...I'm not that old, I'm 28. I could see a Passion Pit fan definitely being into Yeasayer though. He's a cool dude, but I'm just not into that stuff.
but for many 19 year olds now a days it's sadly impressive if your music collection goes beyond Drake and Lil Wayne.
I thought you were a few years older than that, but yeah that was kind of the point for my last post. I thought I was the **** too because I entered college with Velvet Underground and Slowdive CDs when everyone was going Eminem crazy. It took a few years before I realized there was great music that didn't come from the US or UK, and that nothing from the current bands that I really loved then were anything close to original. BTW grab Gang of Four's 'Entertainment' album. listen to it at least 4 or 5 times, and then see if you can still appreciate Passion Pit. Even if you don't get into them, you'll have instant music snob scene cred...

Wasn't calling you old, just wasn't sure how recently they were involved with Animal Collective Thanks for clarifying some of that stuff about them too, good to know! And yeah I listen to a little bit of Yeasayer but not a humongous fan... some of the songs I really can't get into but others are super catchy.
And thanks for the heads up on that album, I'll have to definitely check it out. I almost never turn down a recommendation for music.
