The Albums/Concerts Thread of 2011

[The-Joker]

The biggest concert of the year happened over the weekend. It was the Monster Ball. Lady Gaga is such an amazing performer. I have been to well over 100 concerts since I started attending them at the age of 16, and Lady Gaga was easily the best I've ever seen. That was a performance I will never forget. The entire crowd was extremely into it from start to end. Such a loud and lively atmosphere. It's no surprise that Lady Gaga has risen to the level of fame she has achieved. The woman is incredibly talented, and just flat out knows how to put on a captivating performance. How you could not mention Lady Gaga, yet managed to mention Katy Perry (who has a terrible voice) is beyond me. Also Lady Gaga's new album "Born This Way" will be released on 5/23/11.

I do have a couple of other concerts on my calendar. I'll be attending My Chemical Romance on 4/8/11. I'll also be going to Coheed & Cambria on 5/3/11. I also would like to go see Bruno Mars on 5/30/11 in Orem, but not sure I can afford it.

Ya I was down in SLC to see Bill Burr the comedian, and I noticed an abundance of drag-queens. Like more than usual.

The only concert anyone should be excited to attend is April 29th at Saltair when Alter Bridge blesses us with their only appearance in Utah in 7 years. It will be an epic night.

Not sure if serious.

Im pretty siked to see Craig Ventresco on Sunday. Should be an intimate show.

Coldplay better release an album this year.

Also, I'm excited for Arcade Fire next month, my seats should be pretty good.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say "Angles" is the best album so far of 2011... I have listened through it maybe 5 times, and I'm blown away by how much I love it.

Maybe even the best strokes album ever?

Haven't listened yet, but you're somewhat prone to hyperbole and that's a high bar to clear. As a result, my default assumption is disbelief.

FYI: New Strokes album is only $4 on Amazon right now.

I'm enjoying it, but it's not as good as "Is This It?". Probably not as good as "Room on Fire", either.

I know best Strokes album ever is a high bar to climb. But my mind is literally being blown for a different reason every time I listen. It's probablyt not the best strokes album, but damn... this is different and awesome.

Different? I've found myself a couple times thinking "this sounds like a "Is This It" leftover.

Irony explosion. How's Kanye's "game changing" album treating you?

Well enough that I'm going to Chile next week to see him live. I still love it wholeheartedly. I wouldn't take back a word of what I wrote about its level of quality.

How's your DUI treating you? Oh, I'm sorry, your "wet reckless" since you otherwise pretend you don't know what people are talking about.
