Hello all!
Last week kind of sucked, but I got to finish it off with KFMA Day, an annual all-day concert put on by a local radio station. I had been super stressed over school and not being able to color my hair (it looks like a fucking swamp), but my dad was kind enough to buy me Eegee's (another Tucson thing), smoke me out before the show, and actually take me to see Muse. It totally made my shitty week worth it.
The line-up for the show consisted of: The Dirty Heads, Switchfoot, Five Finger Death Punch, Silversun Pickups, 30 Seconds to Mars, and Muse. We got there in the middle of Five Finger Death Punch. I'm not a huge fan of them. I like the music, but the singers voice really annoys me. They put on a good show though and the mosh pits were nuts. I wasn't impressed by Silversun Pickups. Their music is too mellow for my taste. 30 Seconds to Mars
was crap. You would think that a band who mostly appeals to gay boys and 14-year-old girls would use more family-appropriate language, but Jared Leto is a potty mouth. I am prejudice though because I don't like music-by-numbers kinda bands. I'm sorry if you like them, but there is nothing original about that 'band' and Jared Leto wears more eyeliner than I do, and that's just weird.
However, when Muse came on, my heart started to flutter and I raced to the pit, which was huge. They were fantastic. The light show was rather impressive and reminded me of Tool concerts (Tool is still infinitely better than any band I've heard). I got really annoyed by the kids who moshed though. Now, normally I wouldn't bitch about moshers, but usually I go to metal concerts where such a thing is appropriate. I will say this once and only once: it is wrong to mosh and/or headbang to anything that is not metal, and Muse, as wonderful as they are, is not metal. It's ok to jump around and shake your ass, I did and I found it to be rather enjoyable. Muse is sexy dancing music, not fuck people up music. Ok, I've made my point.
Anyway, I decided to crowd surf so I could get better pictures of the band, but a few yards into it I got dropped on my ass. It hurt, but I stood up with minimal pain and couldn't even feel it by the end of the show. I was lucky to fall when I did though because there was a pit a few feet ahead of me and it really would have sucked to fall in there and get stomped on. All in all, it was a great show thanks to Muse and I was definitely satisfied.
Oh! And I won an army shirt, a stress ball, and an army coffee mug at the army booth (obviously) for doing 40 push-ups. Kickboxing has finally paid off.
I uploaded the better pictures of the show to my pics, but here are a few to entice you.

I totally agree about those naughty pop stars. And we wonder why little girls dress like sluts and sleep around. That's what the media tells them to do. But yes, the mosh pits were ridiculous. They totally went to the music, which was really funny. Like when the song slowed down, they slowed down and just kinda walked in a circle. It was very silly.
