The Celebrity Vocal Competition last night at the SCERA was fantastic. What a great family event for the SCERA to put on every week. I thought the two ladies that made it through to the next round were deserving of it. The guy that made it through was a bit questionable but at least his extremely twangy rendition of Elvis' "Can't Help Falling In Love" was memorable. Shout out to my good friend, Miss Emily Noxon, who helped judge the competition. Bar none, Em has one of the most soulful voices I've ever heard. Following the competition, there was a screening of Neil Simon's silly murder mystery comedy Murder By Death. I'd never seen this film but it was well worth waiting after the singing competition. With a cast of ridiculous characters, led by Peter Sellers (the most ridiculous of them all) Murder is a movie that's perfect to watch with a bunch of people who enjoy comedy. Some of the one-liners are classic.
In conclusion, next Wednesday should be just as fun as last, as far as the Celeb Vocal Competition goes. And for the tween-set that love pacifist vampires, Twilight will be screened afterward...OMG EDWARD (swoon-*-).
The ONLY thing, as far as I'm concerned, that's going on tonight is The Twilight Concert Series Opening, 7:00 PM at the Gallivan Center (239 S Main, Salt Lake City). Bon Iver and Jenny Lewis (both nationally recognized acts) will be performing for free! And not only that, but some of the best restaurants in Salt Lake (I'm lookin at you Stoneground) will have booths there! The Twilight Concert Series is one of the best events in Utah every year and if you're able to get downtown, I promise, you won't be disappointed.
However, if you're not allowed to go past the point of the mountain, there is an alternative for you tonight. A rock show at Muse Music featuring The Recovery, I Am The Ocean, Mary May I and In Words of Mute. Details Below:
Muse Music
Rock Show (Bands Above)
151 N University Ave, Provo
8:00 PM--$5
If nothing else, these four bands have very umm...well thought out names. This sounds like it's going to be a night of Angst Rock at the Muse. Trust me, make the trip to Salt Lake.
About the Song Du Jour: "Electric Feel" MGMT
This is the instant party jam of the decade. Put this on anywhere--club, concert, church, wedding, funeral, wherever--and folks will start grooving. The beat and the slammin guitar riff are more contagious than swine flu. I have probably listened to this song a gazillion times and still rock my big head to it every time it comes on. Not much more to say...an all time classic!
See you at the Gallivan Center tonight everyone! Much love to y'all, till tomorrow...keep survivin the UC grind. Peace
