U2 Private Club Gig in Boston! Tickets?
So as we all know U2 will be playing a private show at an undisclosed venue for the lucky ticket winners next Wednesday in Boston.
I would really, really, really LOVE to be there! The album is already on my Top 10 of 2009 list.
So if anyone know HOW I can get a ticket, please contact me!
I have an amazing camera and this music blog here, so a press pass would be AMAZING.
If given a ticket I promise I will ask the band all of your questions and post their replies here.
<3, Angie

Have a Safe Night Everyone!

Smashing Pumpkins – “If All Goes Wrong” DVD is simply incredible.
The newly reformed Smashing Pumpkins DVD, Live at the Fillmore is an intimate portrait of the groups’ fantastic residencies in Asheville, NC and San Francisco, CA. The 2-disc set includes a documentary and full-length (15 songs!) concert of this incredible rock piece of music history.
The Fillmore, a historic venue for 1960s psychedelic music couldn’t be a more perfect choice for Billy Corgan, Pumpkins founder and frontman to show the world his artistry. The point of holding a residency is for the music to evolve as the shows continue. A pretty scary venture, I’d say. In the documentary we are taken with Billy and the band throughout both residencies. The movie is so intimate we see Billy composing previously unrecorded songs (that he will play during the evening’s show) in his bedroom wearing a Victorian style nightgown! Billy later tells us that the current state of America right now reminds him of the Victorian era because people closed their eyes to the filth around them and still dressed up in stylish clothing. Hollywood anyone? Nice humour.
I told you it was intimate!… A very intimate look at the genius behind the Smashing Pumpkins. The look at Billy might come off a bit self indulgent at first but if you give them the chance they WILL BE AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE. From Zero to World Peace, the Pumpkins (Billy’s) evolution is apparent.
THESE DVDs ARE FANTASTIC and a MUST HAVE for anyone who appreciates geniune artistry, as Billy displays it all through his poetry, musicianship (guitar, piano, harmonica!), and visual art. The evolution of the music is completely incredible! Not only is the content, music and psychedelic light show perfect, so is the actual production of the DVDs. The direction, cinematography, lighting and PACKAGING (designed by Linda Strawberry) are so cool they rival Martin Scorsese’s Shine A Light.
Billy struck gold when he literally “found” his soul/bandmates after his seven year hiatus, he must be one of the luckiest musicians on earth because they R O C K ! I’m completely obesessed with rock guitar nowadays, and Billy’s is one of the best I have EVER heard.
Previously unreleased track, ROCK EPIC (37 minutes!) “Gossamer” is one of the greatest rock compositions EVER WRITTEN. Another gem is, “The Rose March,” (also on the American Gothic EP
