Intro To Setlists/RED Setlist

Ok so for like I don't even know how long, I've been making setlists for bands just because it's fun to do. If you don't know what a setlist is, it's the list of songs a band plays at a concert and it's actually not as easy to make as it sounds. The opener and closers are very important, you have to be sure to use songs people would want to hear and they all have to flow. I've been practicing making them for a long time and I think I'm pretty good at it so I'm gonna start posting them. Starting with one of my favorite bands, RED.
All setlists will be a headline set.

RED Setlist:

Death of Me
Wasting Time
Hide
Fight Inside
Mystery of You
Never Be the Same
Let Go
Forever
Already Over
Take It All Away
Out From Under
Encore: Breathe Into Me

Where The Wild Things Are: Review!

Last weekend on October 16 (My Birthday!) the highly anticipated movie adaptation of one of my favorite kids books, Where The Wild Things Are was released in theatres!

I've been excited for this movie for MONTHS and I was so excited to see it. The original book by Maurice Sandak was my favorite as a small child so I had high hopes for this movie and it definitely....... was not at all what I expected! But that's not to say it wasn't good. It was great!

I'll start off by saying your kids will probably have nightmares from this movie. I think it might have been made more for people who grew up with the book and are older now rather than kids now who are just seeing it for the first time.

The movie is incredibly dark and some scenes are absolutely terrifying. There's a lot of talk about eating people and not in a cute, pretending way. It's also really sad, but it is a great movie. Spike Jonez did a great job and I think he did great with what he was trying to do.
It was just an awesome movie and I'd recomend it to anyone who grew up on the book. If you're worried that it might ruin the book for you, it won't. It wasn't supposed to be anything like the book, it's just really sick so watch it!

Annual Linkin Park Week 2009!

As most of you know, Linkin Park is my favorite band ever! They were the first real band I ever liked so I hold them responsible for my insane love for music.
Freshman year of high school (after I got out of private middle school, where I had to wear a uniform to school every day) I started Annual Linkin Park Week where I would wear a different Linkin Park shirt every day for seven days in a row.
This year it will start Sunday October 18! If you have a favorite artist that you want to pay tribute to and you have at least 7 (or 5 and you can just wear them to school) shirts of that band, then join me!
LP means a lot to me, they've had so much influence on me so I figure this is the least I can do. So join me with your favorite musician if you can or want!

Also Dead By Sunrise: Out of Ashes review coming soon. Just got it yesterday. And I'm working on an All Time Low review to try to win a free ticket to go see them next month! So maybe I'll be posting that too.

Paranormal Activity Review

After hearing so many things from so many different people about Paranormal Activity for the last month, I was extremely excited to go see it. It was hyped as the scariest movie of the last 30 years and after hearing from people who have actually seen it, I was convinced it was true. If you haven't seen it, I'll tell you this... It's not true. In fact, it wasn't scary or even good at all.
The movie is about a couple who have been experiencing some "paranormal activity" so they buy and video camera and record their lives to try and figure out what's going on. The whole thing is recorded on a video camera like Cloverfield so if you get motion sickness, that may be a slight problem for you.
The pace of the movie is extreeeeemely slow. It's almost as if they made the movie boring and slow so that whenever something happened it seemed exciting and that did work but only because so little was happening and even those things weren't that exciting. I will say the last ten minutes were awesome but that doesn't make up for the rest of the movie.
Overall I thought this movie was a waste of time. Didn't live up to the hype, it wasn't scary, and it was very slow.
If you do want to see this movie, though, it did reach it's 1 Million demands to get a full release so it'll be in all theatres soon.


Also, the Paramore concert I was supposed to go to on October 2 was postponed until November 10, so I'll be posting about that then and also my review of their album will go up at the same time. I wanna do both at once.
