Yeah, just skim through the reviews that I linked to. I like Fever To Tell a bit better, (that's one of my favourite albums) but I agree with the reviews, this is a solid sophomore album though not as Karen-O—crazy.

Hope you guys had a spooky Halloween!
Things were uneventful here on campus, though I've seen a few okay/good costumes. I miss trick-or-treating on Russell when I was a little kid, and all the uber-cool house decorations and festivities and friendly people in the lovely Elmwood neighborhood.

UKTranceAlliance

THIS is one of those really good trance mixes that I think are so good that I haven't listened past the first track. I mean, just look at the tracklist! If I start listening for more than 5 minutes, I'll have to listen to the whole 3-hour mix! Zomg Aly& Fila are so pwnage. They play great trance tracks consistently, as in they don't play any of that crap pounding-electro after climax that a lot of well-known trance djs do. AND they always play quite a few of their own remixes, which is ++.

VOTE for them on the djlist. (DJmag's top 100 poll ended.)

LOVEFEST WEEKEND!!!!! (incl. Sigur Rós)

zomg the best weekend evarrr.

Starting with Sigur Rós at the Greek Theatre in Berkeley.

Opening band: Parachutes (myspace). Related to a member of Sigur Rós. Their music was similar to Sigur Ros, but I guess a bit pop-y-ish or not, I'm don't quite know how to describe it. But they were okay, on song, the girl there playing the violin and a guy played a xylophone duet. Haha it was cute.

SIGUR ROS! I'm not quite a fan of their music (I couldn't even get through listening to their whole album), and after their performance, am still not, but yeah they are quite uber cool.

Bow on electric guitar? Craaazy. And for one song the bassist used a drumstick.









SF LOVEFEST 2008!
I missed the parade, and didn't hang around the festival grounds for too long, because..I went to Official Afterparty this year!!!! =DDD

Deep Voices (SF) started off, good set (from the few minutes that I heard), I wish I hadn't missed almost all of it but I was trying to get my friends into the party.

Kyau vs. Albert (Germany) spun next. I think their mix was pretty decent, they played some of their classic tracks, but I don't totally remember.

Next, ATB(Germany)! I honestly haven't listened to any of his mixes or anything prior to this, except maybe that 'Ecstasy' song or something, but yeah, nothing. I would say his set was definitely the best of the whole night's. And then a girl gave me candy (kandi? kandy? candi?) that was beaded with 'ATB ROX'. Haha =)

Following ATB, Above & Beyond (UK)! Those guys are so nice! Or, well, I don't really know, of course, but one of them crowdsurfed and the other was smiling/crazy happy the whole during the set. =) Really good set, too. Oceanlab (one of their aliases, a project)- Satellite, Miracle ("are you hoping for a miracle? as the icebergs melt away") A&B- Can't Sleep, Home. Ahh those guys are great. Lovely trance.

And finally, ARMIN VAN BUUREN (Netherlands)!!! Zomg!
Definitely not one of his best sets, but still, Armin! Hahaha I'm such an avb fan. He posed quite a number of times for us. haha. He played his new track with Jennifer Rene (?)- Unforgivable, and ended the night with Going Wrong (-avb & DJ Shah ft. Chris Jones). =)

Okay, the best tracks of the night that I'm really glad the djs played and made my night, before I forget:
andain: beautiful things (Gabriel & Dresden remix? don't remember)
dash berlin: 'til the sky falls down (remix?)
imogen heap: hide and seek (remix? not Tiesto's ISOS remix, though)
sunlounger ft zara: lost ("let your fears go, you might find your way back home...")[LOVELY TRACK!!!]
john o'callahan ft audrey gallergher: big sky (remix?)
dj shah ft adrina thorpe: who will find me (remix?) [one of my faaavourite tracks, but not this remix)
and of course, ATB rockin' the crowd with Nirvana.
I'm sure there were at least a couple of other tracks that were really good, but I can't recall them at the moment.

Okay, pictures of lovefest & afterparty later. =]
