How (Not) to Dress for a Concert
I've always had rules for how to look for a concert and every time I go to a show there are always rule breakers. Yes I am judging all of you in my head, girls with the sky high heels, mini skirt, and hoop earrings. Guys with the uncommitted mohawks, wearing the band's shirt, and just because you're at a show and will probably get sweaty does not mean you can skip the shower that day.
I wince inside when I see girls with heels, unable to help but picture that moment when they get pushed into the mosh pit and are never to be seen again.
So these are just my rules, you don't have to follow, although I highly suggest it.
1. Don't wear heels, obviously.
You just read my description of your unfortunate untimely death.
I have a pair of shoes that are like chucks where they go over your ankles, I call them my concert shoes. See I don't even believe shoes that stop below the ankle will suffice in case they slip off. My brother has lost his shoes twice, he's my example. It also depends on what kind of show you're at and where you are located.
2. No dresses/skirts.
Do I really need to explain this? Jeans are always the best choice.
3. No jewelry.
It's just safer to go without out. You never know if your bracelets are going to get stuck in someone's hair, hahah sorry I just pictured that in my head, that would be hilarious. Necklaces would be going everywhere if you're a jumper/dancer. Earrings could be ripped out, especially if you're in a mosh pit *shiver*. You could probably wear stud earrings, I think I've done that before, but even then I was a little "You're arms better stay away from my head". Oh have I told you I've been elbowed in the head twice? Yeah I'm short, so I'm at the height of everyone's arms, it's awesome. Oh there's a way someone's bracelet could get stuck in another's hair. That reminds me don't wear hats because well they could be lost really quickly and it could block short people's view, because you're big head isn't enough (sorry, just being jealous of taller people). Also don't wear hair accessories because people bringing their elbows down on your head could hurt a lot more with barrette smashing into your head at the same time. Taller people I wouldn't wear any accessories to extravagant, but you want to make sure your hair will stay put if you put anything in it and won't be falling out because that would just be annoying for you. I usually wear my hair down, but I've put bobby pins in my hair before, they've stayed fine, but good thing I wasn't wearing them when I got elbowed.
4. Take a shower.
It's so gross to be standing around waiting for the band and all you can think of is how much it smells like B.O. *cough* ska kids. Sometimes it smells like they haven't taken a shower in a month, at least take a shower the day before, if you don't want to have to take one before and after the show. Or take it before the show and after we don't have to see you again, so go ahead and bathe in the sweat and cigarette smell after.
5. No purses/bags.
That would not be fun to carry around and who knows what kind of people are there. I just bring an ID, my phone, and only enough money if I plan on buying anything, and it all fits in my pocket. You really don't need anything else. If you are going somewhere after/before leave your purse in the car.
6. Don't wear the band's shirt to their own show.
You just look stupid. We already know that you like them or you wouldn't be here. If you bought the shirt there and have nowhere to put it fine wear it, but don't wear it to the next show. Also this really doesn't have anything to do with this, but I would just like to comment that I hate band shirts with the tour dates on the back. I just don't understand the point. I guess to say I went to the show on that tour, but who really cares.
7. No uncommitted mohawks.
Like my sister said "If you are going to wear a mohawk, the time to be committed is at a Rancid concert".
Or any concert for that matter. Mohawks down are just ugly and you look like a sad puppy.
I think that's it, if I'm missing anything go ahead and comment.
The only concert you should be doing these things at are a sitdown classical concert. I don't think anyone's going to want to start a moshpit during one of Bach's sonatas,

Unless it's Sebastian Bach that is.
One more thing if you drink beer and it's filled to the brim, everyone around you is thinking you better finish that before the show starts because nobody wants beer spilled on them. I don't even like beer on the ground and making my shoes sticky, but I definitely never want to be near someone who has a full cup when the show starts.
Happy Moshing!

Problem is there are a few songs that get stuck in my head during the week and when I get to this post I never remember what the other songs were. When I don't want it, it's in my head, when I try to remember it it goes away. But I did remember this song, maybe because it's been in my head for days now.

VMA Musings
Is that what lady gaga looks like?
Fun.! What they actually have someone good nominated?
Robot lady said JT performing and maybe not all the way solo!!!!
And miley Cyrus just hit a new low.
I've always wanted to put a silent number in my name since Sa5m from bandslam. I just noticed a few people have dollar signs in their names. I want a seven and maybe I'll put a dollar sign in front of it. Ha nah.... I'll just stick with a seven.
Best female video: pink pink pink pink pink...Taylor swift awwwwww
Take it to the bridge.
Finally after going through a bunch of old Justin Timberlake songs, nsync came on! It took so long to get to them I figured they wouldn't be on for long, they were on for only a few minutes, but at least they appeared, they all have short hair now and are older so weird. Pretty sure JC wanted to be up there longer, trying to get all those extras babys in there. But the whole time I was thinking I'd totally go see them in concert.

Reunions
Hear about the Nsync reunion rumor? Supposedly it's suppose to happen at the MTV VMAs this Sunday. I am not ashamed, so I will say this rumor better be true. Backstreet Boys, 98 degrees reunions, why not Nsync?! I will definitely be watching the VMAs just in case it happens, fingers crossed.
Also the next reunion I would like to see is My Chemical Romance, yeah they haven't been broken up for long, but I miss them already. Ok I can wait a few years, but they better pull a No Doubt and Blink-182, even freaking Fall Out Boy got back together and half of that time I didn't even know they were apart.
But back to Nsync I know JT is like a way bigger star now and everything and he brought sexy back, but Nsync made you so cool.....with all of the cute, awkward, teenage girls, who I am sure have grown into beautiful women now....like myself.. ahem.
So just do it, at least to show One Direction up. *GASP* That's what I want to see, a Boyband Battle! Let's make it happen VMAs.

Lit's Newest
I've been listening to Lit's newest CD "The View From The Bottom" and I like it. You think don't they only have like 2 or 3 hits, but they actually do have some great songs that just never got radioplay.
Here are some that I like off of their newest CD. They are a little underrated aren't they?
