The movie for my ears

...is drawing to its fin...er...end.

What did I learn from these three albums from The Dear Hunter?

1. The use of different styles of music and instruments especially
2. The awesomeness of having a wide array of songs that are in the 3/4 measure (when some albums don't even have any!)
3. The cool musical mood settings for each song that correlates with the storyline and song title.
4. The ever cool usage and possible band likedness of using triplets in many many of their songs, but using them in a way that doesn't get tiring even after hearing it a lot!
5. Nice-osity.

It's super hot out there....with a scorching 104 degrees. My dad is bringing Popeye's chicken for dinner tonight as I have decided to stay at home. I haven't really seen my dad a lot because he comes home in the evening and i'm usually gone during that time or even the whole day :/.

Also. I started watching "The Rocker" at like 530am...but dumb megavideo stops it after 72 minutes and you either have to wait 54 minutes or pay for a subscription for it to continue....so I just went to bed ;).

So, I found out that Muse is releasing a super-O deluxe box set for their Resistance album, which includes:

+CD
+DVD
+Digital Version on USB
+Double Sided LP
+1 Poster that has 4 diff color versions

And right now it's only available at some German site for €69.99 , which is equivalent to $100ish.

gah. As I read this, I was reminded of Christian telling me about the Paramore Deluxe box set thing... :(. I would totally buy it if I had the money and maybe if it was available at a site that primarily used the US dollar currency :). But alas, nay. I opted to just buying the CD + DVD. It was relatively cheaper...though it was only available in pounds (£). Oh well.

Speaking of Muse, I had the stupidest dream this morning. It was kind of like the other dream I talked about where I actually got to meet the band, but they left because all the other people were too loud. In THIS one, it was some person's party or wedding and the band was there as guests, not performers, and Matt Bellamy and Dominique Howard brought their fiances (I think only Matt has a fiance in real life, but even then I'm not sure) and I got a picture with them, but the lady who took the picture stole my camera. I also got to converse with Matt....but even in my dreams, it's hard to understand his normal speaking voice because he talks so darn fast, but at least in this, he was slightly better to understand. Anywho...it was cool until I couldn't find my camera and they disappeared :(

Those dreams never have happy endings. It's weird because I didn't even listen to Muse songs yesterday...I was listening to The Dear Hunter.

Anyway, just a random dream story.
