Phantom Planet
Ok ok ok ok. So I have never really thought of this band as necessarily a guilty pleasure before. Mind you I have been a fan of theirs long before that devil show ( hm hmph...The O.C.) used their song California as it's theme. And because of this I found out that outside my mind and my River Falls dorm room, they aren't the coolest band around.
Well, I still think they are pretty cool. They have a new album “Raise the Dead” (which was supposed to come out about 3 years ago) which is being released on April 14th. They are touring for this album but to my disappointment they are touring with Panic at the Disco and playing at the Myth and tickets are $35. Triple blow.
But no tears will be shed. I have seen them many times and my friend Lynn and I are even on their concert dvd “Chicago, Chicagoing, Chicagone.” We waited about 6 hours in a bar, too young to drink, just to get in the front row. But while we were waiting, James Iha of Smashing Pumpkins fame stopped in the bar. I bought him a lemonade.
Here is a clip of the intro of the dvd, unfortunately I couldn't find any of the concert footage. But we have developed a great drinking game for the dvd that involves taking a drink anytime Lynn touches her hair, which happens alot. Like, 50 times alot.
