I died today, I really did. While musically speaking, this wasn’t that bad at all, but there was missing some feeling. The audience sucked, and the most important part of it was missing; the feeling.
Although Arcade Fire might’ve given all they could, the vibes trough the gig were lacking, dead, and reminded me of some mass concert where the msntrm goes to (this actually was a concert like that). Where is the feeling I get when I hear Funeral or Neon Bible? No no no, don’t get me wrong, the suburbs isn’t a bad album, pretty good even. But during this concert, during my listens of the album, I miss ‘something’. What that something is? I don’t know.
Especially when they started Neighborhood #3 (Power Out), what where they playing and why where they playing that? It sounded so lacking, so terrible. I don’t even know what to say anymore.
Then when they started to play Rebellion (Lies) it seemed okay, but then that idiot started hitting a drum like an idiot while jumping around. Is this to music I want to listen to when I act like an intellectual and read books?
I don’t hate Arcade Fire, but still this was not what I wanted to see. Vevo doing this made it even worse for me, which probably needs no explanation.
Tweets showing up like: ‘#AmexArcadeFire i dont even know this band and im having a hella good time’ and ‘#AmexArcadeFire The band and the director are absolutely badass tonight!’ didn’t help with it. While I truly respect that people learn of music that is good, somehow it ruined the vibes even more. I felt like I was standing there between middle-aged women with short, practical and spicy haircuts who where dancing with their arms to the rythm.
Is this the end of my love for Arcade Fire? Dunno, probably not, but I having feeling their next album will be horrible. It might be targeted at the middle aged women I described earlier.
Oh and, does the female singer really have to make annoying moves like that? Might actually be the worst part of the entire gig.

So I just want you to listen to this ‘band’: Beat Connection. It’s an electronic/chillwave duo who make some ‘mad chill’ music. “But Dion, Chillwave is dead!” Lies, listen to this, and then tell me Chillwave is dead again. Might be the best thing I’ve heard all year, was kinda looking forward for Panda Bro to save 2010, but he was late, Beat Connection already did that.
This is band has the standard chillwave sound, but they are heavily influenced by IDM artists (say, Caribou). This makes the music the pure definition of ‘chill’ and ‘rad’ at the same time (via sounding so fucking good). I can’t tell you guys more how much I love this, defi a thumbs up to this one.
BNM for their album?

Dear girl at the tobacco-corner,

I fucking hate you, I really do. Did you honestly think I was too young to buy a pack of cigarettes (JPS-red)?
Did you really think I was lying about my ID-card being taken by the woman at the town hall?
Did you really think I was ‘one of the lil’ kids trying to smoke nicotine for the first time’?

You are so fucking pathetic, thinking I was 14 or so. I just need my damn cigarettes, learn to live with that.

Is it because I am white?
Is it because I seem to be ‘mad chill’?

You and your blue AH-branded kerchief make me feel like a ‘free bird’. It makes me look like some intellectual, elitist kind of guy (via Harry Mülisch)

Why would you put me in this corner, with me blogging about you? Just to repeat: I AM NOT FOURTEEN. I am also not a tween boy trying to be cool by smoking fags.

You ruin the vibes over there at the supermarket, i just want to chill down, relax, all cool. You know the drill.

There is no point for not selling me my goddamn cigarettes
Might stop buying stuffs over there at AH, you guys just don’t seem ‘chill enough’ (via being total faggots)

Welcome to my blog. It’s normal to do an introduction type of thing, so, albeit for me being abnormal, here I go:

So I’m Dion Suurmond from Holland. I’m currently living in an quiet, idyllic village that bores the fuck out of me (srsly, there isn’t anything to do), but thankfully it’s not very far from the living world. I used to be a blogspot blogger but I never did anything with my blog and I hated the interface. WordPress is like heaven compared to it. If someone actually reads the darned thing, I might even post some stuff on here.

You probably now want to know my interests so you have an idea what the fuck I’m going to blog about. I like music that’s too obscure for you to understand, GDGTs (think; phones, laptops, etc.), movies (not an expert, so you’re gonna read about movies you have known for years/months). Probably also gonna blog some random rants, column style.

So that was my formal introduction, be sure to say hi back in the comment section. Oh, and thanks for visiting.
