This was the last picture I took before this racist security toy cop ordered me to go put my camera in the car.So the Foo Fighters decided to throw a party for the release of their brand new album (Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace) by performing at a tiny, little venue (which just happened to be the same venue Enoch saw his beloved Rentals merely days before) and practically giving away tickets to those who showed an obsessive amount of fan spirit.
Apparently, I qualified.
Despite what the Rolling Stones calls a mediocre album with useless tracks mindlessly thrown into what appears to be lacking in theme, I think the new stuff rocks my socks off. The first single, the Pretender, is a good way to get people interested, but it's not my favorite. That would be Long Road to Ruin, which is on repeat more than United States of Electronica ever had a chance. And Let it Die is also a great track. Whenever I hear it, I think Dave actually wrote it for Kurt. Maybe? Could be? And Stranger Things Have Happened makes me happy, although I think it's intended to be a sad song...
Anyway, I was tempted to actually buy the CD since I enjoyed it so much but then realized I don't own a single Foo Fighters album. This lead me to go onto Amazon.com and get the Colour and the Shape album from a seller in Florida for $4.83. Used, I know, but I'm poor. I'm hoping the purchase goes through so that I can adequately feel that my presence at Monday's concert was not a fluke.
Okay, obviously, I'm not the greatest at writing a well structured review so just listen to it and end up loving it, too.

the fonda may be my new favorite venue.
and the colour & the shape just gets better with age, much like a fine red wine from costco.
the one that comes in the box?
