July 10 - Going to see John Mellencamp with my cuz.
July 12 - Going to see Cheap Trick with a friend from school, Shirley.
Two gigs in three days. My ears are going to hate me. I think i'll get some earplugs. The Cheap Trick gig is at the Casino, not the big Metro Centre so i expect it will seem louder. Mellencamp is in a smaller stadium but it will rock the place. CT is standing room only, no seats but then, once they start playing, everyone stands up anyway so everyone else has to or they won't be able to see.

There's a site called JibJab where you can upload face photos and they can get inserted into a funny little bit of video. G. did one with him and a few mates into one that was a parody of a Katy Perry video, I forget which song now but i realized that there are a few of her songs i actually like. I'm shocked, really, because though i do like a lot of different kinds of music, the current pop stuff isn't something i tend to favour. I downloaded two of her cds and there's about 8 songs i really like that i've loaded onto my iPod. I think my favourite is called Hot n Cold. The chorus makes me want to dance around singing. I'll admit it. Also like her Firework song, E.T., Last Friday Night, California Gurls, I Kissed a Girl (because it reminds me of our road trip to Cape Breton, it was all over the radio that year). There's a few others. I find them really catchy and bouncy and not run of the mill like most of the stuff i hear and that surprises me but there you go. There's also a Kelly Clarkson one i kind of like, Since You've Been Gone.

Should i hang my head? Nah. I likes what  I likes and my iPod shows quite a range, from Nine Inch Nails, Alice Cooper, to Johnny Cash, ELO, The Killers, Queen,... pop, country, Irish/Celtic, hard rock, metal, industrial, electronica, there's even a Josh Grogan song on there though I have no idea why.

I adore Cheap Trick! (much envy-they rarely tour the UK)
I like Lady Gaga, which is something I never expected.

I never got the chance to see Cheap Trick when they were here years ago so I'm really glad i'm getting to see them now! Lady Gaga i can take or leave though she's probably a bit better than the run of the mill pop stars as her image is quite unique.
