It feels like I’ve been gone from the blogosphere for entirely too long, so I figured I would pop in real quick to give a little update! I’m busier than ever, but will try to continue posting regularly in the weeks to come.
90’s Flashback
As I mentioned during yesterday’s post, I am a teen of the 90’s. Some say I haven’t really moved on, especially musically. I just don’t think anyone can compare to the wonderfully grungy, alternative bands of the decade. Is that so wrong?
I was inspired by some fun I had on Facebook a few weeks ago, when I started uploading some of my favorite 90’s videos. All my friends seemed to love it, and we had a great time reminiscing about “the good old days” (are we getting old or what!). So without further ado, here were some of my most favorite 90’s music videos:
Trend Bush!
Today, both myself and all the members of the Bush Army, a group of dedicated fans of the band Bush, will be attempting to trend the band on Twitter. I’d love it if some of my great readers could jump on board and help! Everyone knows how much the band means to me and how excellent they are with their fans from all my amazing experiences I have shared on here, so they are definitely well worth it. And all you have to do is pretty simple:
1. Log into your Twitter account or create an account here (it’s free!).
2. Make a post. About anything related to the band and/or music. Make sure to include the following hashtag: #Bush
Easy as 1,2…wait, there’s not even a 3!
Hope you can all participate. And for all of those that find my activity today annoying, feel free to block my tweets or just ignore them. I’ll be back to my regular tweeting schedule tomorrow!
ps; Special thanks to Ace for putting the video above together. Make sure to check out her other Bush-related videos on her youtube channel, ChemicalsBWus!
Bush – Tampa, FL @ The Ritz Ybor
Any of you that follow me on this blog surely know by now that Bush has been and continues to be one of my favorite bands. At times I am mocked for loving bands from my youth, but I can’t help it. I’m loyal. Once I loved you, I will always love you. Both a character flaw and strength, if you ask me.
I’ve been lucky enough (along with all the other members of the Bush Army) to foster an online relationship with the guys in the band over the last year, which has made my love for the band grow more. They are so down-to-Earth and very appreciative of their fans. I had a wonderful time a couple of weeks ago at Epicenter enjoying their first gig together as a unit in 8 years from atop the stage, which was a completely surreal experience, but I think this past week’s show at Tampa managed to supersede all that.
ROCK-ation Part Deux
Thanks for the reminder, Ticketmaster!
Tomorrow morning I’ll be hitting the road with a few girlfriends on my next ROCK-ation – this time, we will be Tampa-bound to see Bush headline their own show at The Ritz Ybor. Although I was present for Bush’s first show back together a couple of weeks ago (I’m getting so spoiled), I am even more excited to see them headline in an intimate setting rather than in a festival-style setting. I am super curious as to what their set list may entail (although G leaked that Alien was played in rehearsals yesterday – ::sigh::), but know they are going to put on a great show (as always).
I’ll be in Tampa for the remainder of the week so I will be leaving the blog in the hands of another guest blogger. This time around, the baton is being passed to one of my best friends, Elissa! So make sure she feels comfortable and welcome around these parts, ya’ hear?
Also, feel free to follow my travels via Twitter!
I’ll make sure to update the blog on Monday with a full review complete with photos and videos!
…Till then!
