As a huge fan of music, I really like to follow my favorite artists as often as I can, in the hopes that I will eventually meet them, or that my fandom actually means something. Really, I just go to these frequent shows because of my love for music itself.

I recently invested in an app that is linked to my music accounts, that will notify me when my favorite artists are playing in concerts near me (don't download it if you're weak like I am). Of course, I went crazy for this app.

I bought tickets to my favorite groups as far as Frankie Cosmos, No Vacation, SALES, Weezer, and now there was Oh Wonder. I was so excited for this concert, but I didn't want to be there too early. So my boyfriend and I got there like ten minutes beforehand. I think it was for the best, because we couldn't seem to find a decent spot to stand at all. I am really short, and everyone else is really tall compared to me.. so I was having trouble either way. Another note: hats need to be banned from concerts because it only makes it worse for us shorties.

Anyways, the concert opened up with an artist named Sasha Sloan who came from Los Angeles. She was pretty good, but I couldn't understand what she was singing, because her drums were hella loud. She had great energy too, but I felt a little bad since she closed the show with, "Thanks guys! Go buy a CD so my label doesn't drop me!" I was thinking to myself that I would rather listen to her music on Spotify or something of the nature, because I have access to it all through there.

Then they waited another thirty minutes to set up for Oh Wonder... which felt like for-freaking-ever. I was standing there... moving around to find another decent spot.

Thirty minutes later, Oh Wonder comes on the stage! I went crazy! I was so thrilled to be seeing them in concert! They had the coolest light show! They had other band members, also Josephine (the only female in the group) brought her younger brother on the stage and he played saxophone during "Lose It" and OH MY GOD. It was the most surreal musical experience I have ever encountered!

Listening to Josephine and Anthony talk during or between their songs was the cutest and coolest thing ever. Josephine has so much energy, and Anthony had so many jam sessions during the songs. I just couldn't contain my joy, really. I was so happy to be there! I didn't get tired of their energy or music for a single second. I felt SO much energy during their song, "Heavy."

I had waited for a long time for a concert that I could feel the music through me, and I could not have been more impressed. They are such good artists, and they know how to perform well and just put on the best show. I personally think they make the best music live. People were having a good time all over. Everyone's hands were up...everyone was dancing... everyone was cheering. I just hope they enjoyed the energy us Nashville folk gave to them!

I am going to a rhyme without reason date function and I have looked at so many different rhyming words and I figured there need to be a new list of words. At these functions, there are usually at least two rockers and boxers and an umpteenth amount of dogs and frogs. I have come up with a list of creative and unique ideas for these functions.

If you like what you see, get a shopping cart going with these costumes.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
