With the Right Set of EyesCongratulations, Jen!
How did you discover the music of Blind Melon?
What other types of music do you enjoy (different bands or genres)? Thanks!
How did you discover the music of Blind Melon?- When I was younger, music was my life (I suppose it still is to some degree, but I have other stuff to worry about now too
). I first heard
No Rain, probably seeing the video on Much Music. It was catchy and I'd sing along, but it didn't inspire me to buy the cd. When Soup came out, my friend Kasondra got it because she always bought every good cd that came out.
I borrowed it off her because I really liked
Galaxie. I believe I actually had it in my possession when I heard the news about Shannon. I was in Grade 8 then.
What other types of music do you enjoy (different bands or genres)?I like many, many bands. Whenever there's a spot on a profile or somewhere fill-in “Favourite Music”, I always answer the same way using genres: “hard rock, classic rock, indie pop/rock, Irish drinking songs, video game music, sweet chin music (
), nerdcore”.
Congrats JJJennnn!!
Do you have a favorite Blind Melon album?
Do you fly or drive to get the vigil? How do you plan on doing it next year?
Are you going to be at one of Blind Melon's 3 shows? Thank you!
Do you have a favorite Blind Melon album?I love them
all, but Soup is probably my favourite.
Do you fly or drive to get the vigil? How do you plan on doing it next year?Well... I was
supposed to have a ride --- someone I met on Ustream chat while watching the stream of the Unified Theory concert, said he could pick me up passing through on his way down from Toronto --- but he ended up having to back out at the last minute... so alas I booked a flight that would've been much cheaper had I booked it a week earlier. The flight from Detroit to Indianapolis is only
36 minutes long. I do not plan on doing that again - not at all worth it, and I had to leave early. I should start looking for a ride
now. I'm hoping my cousin will come with me next year. I had no idea she was a huge fan too until I told her about how I was going to the vigil and she got all excited and wanted to come along. Unfortunately there wouldn't've been enough time to get a passport for her little daughter.
EDIT: I forgot to mention I don't have a driver's license, never have.
Are you going to be at one of Blind Melon's 3 shows?I'm thinkinngg
not. I want to be there so badly, but those places are all so far away and I know nobody else who lives at any of them. Hopefully I won't be kicking myself later, but I'm taking a gamble and keeping my fingers crossed there will be more to come, hoping especially for either Detroit, somewhere close to Detroit, or NYC.
Congrats JJJENNNNN
1) What's the best concert you have attended?
2) If you were stranded on an island by yourself, what 3 items would you want with you?
3) What is your favorite movie? Thanks!
1 - Oh gosh, I don't know. It's been a really good year for concerts for me. I'm usually most pumped up about whichever one I most recently saw, which in this case was The Vaselines.
2 - Even though the battery wouldn't last long and I probably couldn't get a wi-fi signal, maybe there would be potatoes on the island or something else I could fashion into powering it with all the free time I'd have, so #1 would be
my laptop.
. #2 would be
my stuffed penguin (named Penguin). As for #3; thanks to having watching
Survivor, my answer's gotta be
tarp.
3 - Billy Madison
Thanks for all the great questions! Keep 'em coming? ...
