Ever wonder what would happens if you combined:

Sounds of my youth

With.....

Sounds of my future

Complete and utter adorability. That's what.

Big thanks to You Ain't No Picasso. Word on the street is that the boys from Vamp Weekend did this cover for an Australian radio station, and it makes me love them even more than I already do.

Where wayfarers and cell phones go to die.

I don't know if you heard but Central Park got 2 inches of rain this past weekend. More notably it got that much rain during the SummerStage concert I was at. Rendering both my best friend and my cell phones completely water logged and useless. (She has informed me that when I arrive home tonight I will find my phone submerged in a 5 lb. bag of rice as to draw the moisture out).

Was it worth it? Most definitely. The Born Ruffians were pretty awesome. Any band whose lead singer is actively trying to enter a Bob Dylan look-a-like contest is A-Ok with me. What of it if the drummer has a hipster dirt stash and the bassist has some man boobs? They sounded good and are from Canada, 'nuff said.

Born Ruffians

Kid Sister was next annnnd I had mixed feeling about her.

Pro: she ran on stage with a can of Coors Light in her hand.
Con: She drinks Coors Light. Gross. A 40 would have been way cooler.

Pro: She actually rapped like someones little sister begging you to play with her. Her insatiable energy could not be denied.
Con: Her DJ/BF DJ A-Trak was kind of a goober. He knows "Ye" as in Kanye...

Pro: She had hilllllarious backup dancers dressed like ninjas/pokemon characters.

Hillllarious

Kid Sister

And if this wasn't reason enough to get drenched, bust a phone, and stand shoulder to shoulder with a bunch of pimple-y, bracefaced 14 year olds...I'm sorry but I don't know what is....

Mmmm Vampire Weekend mmmmmm

It's the most wonderful time of the year...

For those of you not in Tennessee celebrating the ridiculousness that is Bonnaroo, don't fret all is not lost. Not only is it concert season but it's FREE concert season!

Booya!

Vampire Weekend, Kid Sister, and Born Ruffians are kicking off this seasons Central Park SummerStage season this weekend. Oh yeah, and Andrew W.K. just so happens to be hosting the event. Also did I mention... it's FREE.
