Yay Summerfest! I had heard of the Pixies and some of their songs, like song titles, not the actual song and I really enjoyed their show. It was awesome. I really enjoyed the bass player's voice. It was really sweet sounding and when she sang she smiled. It was really cute. There were a few songs in between that I wasn't too fond of, just because it was a lot of loud noise I thought. I spotted Scott listening to them in front of the stage and in between the pavillion seats, the little open, yet guarded area. And then Rivers joined him to listen, but then went backstage to listen to them, as well as Scott.

The Fray opened for the Pixies and Weezer and they were awesome as well. You should check them out on myspace.com they will be having an album out I believe in September.

Spotted Karl before Weezer came out, he was onstage talking to some guy and looked out into the crowd a few times.


And what can I say, Weezer rocked it out last night. The energy was great, the songs they played were awesome and Rivers's voice was right on! The band just plays so well together, which I guess is assumed after how long they have been together and all. But really, it was awesome. The backdrop was pretty cool, it was the cover art off of the album and had some cool neon lights going throughout it. No bright flashing =w=, but that was alright. I didn't miss it while the show was going on, heh. It was a really awesome show. I can't remember the exact order of the setlist, but I remember what was first and last and in the encore, so I will just list the rest in album order.

Say It Ain't So
Undone
Buddy Holly
El Scorcho (the band kicked ass on this song!)
Photograph
Island In The Sun
Fall Together (Scott sang lead vocals on this one, he has a really good voice)
Death and Destruction (Rivers didn't sing the song, Brian sang a little of the chorus, but mostly instrumental)
Beverly Hills
Perfect Situation
Pardon Me
Hold Me
Peace
We Are All On Drugs
*Encore*
Haunt You Every Day
Hash Pipe
And of course a fun feedback session=)

The ride back home, not so awesome traffic wise, but if I write about it I will just get upset thinking about the horrible drivers and the other terrible things I saw. ugh.



Also, how horrible about the bombs in London? I first heard about it this early morning when Jenny said she heard it on the news on the drive back. Then I read an article in the Times. You just feel so helpless in situations like these. I hope that Jenny's family is safe and that Londoners can do what they can to get their lives back to "normal" and find out who/what/why.

peace.
