Moist At the Calgary Stampede<\/h2>\n

I hum in line at the store, sing in the shower, even\u00a0mouth along with the words while I’m on the bus. I really, really love lyrics. Love how I can relate to them, how a song can take on so many different meanings depending on the time in my\u00a0life and the\u00a0situation I find myself in, yet the words never change. I love interesting word combinations, and how they can flow into and around each other, complicated yet\u00a0logical in their progression. More than anything, I love when I don’t know what’s coming. Where I can’t sing along intuitively with a song I’ve never heard before.<\/p>\n

I love lyrics. I love Moist.<\/p>\n

A simple word
\nA harmless glare
\nThat binds me with the thinnest thread
\nAnd pins me down to pleasure’s bed – Silver<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And if anger is the ending
\nOf the things that we’ve become
\nFor the mother and the father
\nAnd the sister and the son – Resurrection<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Remind me to do a post about that part someday.<\/p>\n

I have so many songs that hold real emotional connections for me, others\u00a0that are just beautiful, or fun to sing, but most are just that, songs. A single track\u00a0from an artist here or\u00a0there, some random song I’ll never remember the name of but I can sing every note. So rarely do I love a band and all the music that they put out\u00a0and, even more rare , hold a torch for that band, yet here I am burning brighter than ever after 23 years for one band in particular.<\/p>\n

I came to burn the sky
\nAnd tear away the beauty that it sows
\nIf I could rape the day
\nAnd find the things I thought I’d always known – Leave It Alone<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I had the pleasure of attending the Coca Cola Covert Concert this summer, where they announced the lineup for the 2015 Coke Stage at the Calgary Stampede. I didn’t know many of the bands announced until we came close to the end of the announcements, and when it came I smacked my friends in excitement and screamed and promptly fell off my seat.<\/p>\n

Moist was coming to Calgary.<\/h2>\n

Holy crap.<\/h3>\n

HOLY CRAP! Epic leet 90s band Moist was coming here!<\/p>\n

I was so frigging excited that there is just not enough exclamation points or space for them. David Usher and I grew up in the same town even!\u00a0I could explain the history of Moist but that’s not why I’m here today. That’s why Wikipedia<\/a> is here though \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

The band took the stage and I promptly lost my damn mind. Mr grumbled while editing the videos because you can hear me yelling through much of the footage.<\/p>\n
