Music Midtown Day 2

Day 2 was all about Girl Talk!  WOOT!

 

Music Midtown Day 1

I was a little nervous to bring my new camera to Day 1, so I only have instagrams.  (was a little ERGH later when I saw all the pro cameras around when the tickets CLEARLY said they wouldn't be allowed.)

Joan Jett KILLED it!

FOO FIGHTERS!

Hallelujah

I was watching the Opening Ceremony last night while I was doing some photoshop on one of the roughly one hundred images that I just scanned.  I was mostly just listening while I worked.  Until k.d. lang started singing.

I'm not a k.d. lang fan at all, but when she started singing "Hallelujah", first, I didn't know who it was, then when I looked up, I couldn't believe who it was.  I was blown away.  Hers might be my favorite version of the song.

I wanted to post it here, but the International Olympic Committee apparently doesn't like to share, and several posted videos on youtube had already been taken down this morning.  I tried the nbc website, but my iBook apparently can't handle the new player that you're required to have in order to view any of the site's content.

I highly encourage you to check it out if you can find it.

WORST cover EVERRRRRRRRR

Did anyone see the Hotrats on Letterman the other night?
I was drifting off to sleep as the song began, and a few lines in, I recognized the lyrics, and I was instantly wide awake and HORRIFIED.  This has to be the WORST cover of a song EVER done in the history of the universe.

But that's just my opinion.
