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?

Weekend Highlights: NIN/JA edition

This weekend did not let us breathe for one minute, but where that would usually kind of annoy me, this weekend was so sprinkled with awesome that I did not mind a bit! My weekend started a day early: I took Friday off to attend one of the biggest concert events of this summer: the NIN/JA tour.

Nine Inch Nails is one of my favorite bands. I would not label myself as a “super fan” or anything like that, but I absolutely adore everything Trent Reznor lays his hands on. He is someone I consider to be a creative genius. Not only that, but he also constantly keeps his fans in mind and has only increased his interaction with them by being ever present on Twitter and even creating an iPhone application specifically aimed at creating an environment where fans can interact with each other as well as with the band. Now who doesn’t love a band with that much love and dedication for their craft and those that admire it?

Unfortunately, I have never been able to see NIN live because something always came up or we could not afford it at the time. The most painful being when we had to get our tickets refunded due to Hurricane Wilma. That one really hurt. So I lived my life being a NIN-virgin, but I am proud to announce that I am no longer!
