Sea Level Records Going Away Party, Division Day and The Switch @ Safari Sams 6/22/07

Friday night, everybody who is in a band in Los Angeles headed over to Safari Sams.  I saw members of Silversun Pickups, Earlimart, The Broken West, Airborne Toxic Event, Radars to the Sky, and Lets Go Sailing.  I am sure there are many people that I didn't see/recognize/meet.  It was my first time at Safari Sam's and I was very impressed.  It has everything I like in a good music venue.  It's incredibly well lit (for photos), the stage is very high (so you can be in the back and still see the show), tons of free parking, and lots of great vantage points (upstairs, side areas, etc).  I hope to get back there again soon.

Where the hell did the Switch come from? They were incredible! I love any band that has a woman that plays trumpet AND violin AND sings back up.  From the moment they started playing, I knew I was going to love these guys.  They do the country roots rock thing brilliantly.  I picked up their EP and  have been playing it all weekend.  Lead singer Aaron Kyle's has a hoarse voice that is very remiscent of Dan Boeckner of Wolf Parade.  Expect some great things from these guys.

MP3: Tongue Tied - The Switch

I hadn't seen Division Day in so long, it was just great to see those guys.  They are so nice and I am so happy that they have found a wonderful home at Eenie Meenie Records.  Their good stuff still sounds good and their great stuff sounded wonderful.  I kind of wish they could play Tigers and Tap Tap Click Click over and over again.

Division Day closed out the night by inviting The Switch back on stage and both bands played an incredible cover of Boyz II Men's It's So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday.  It killed.  It was a great way to say goodbye to a great record store - by having two small LA bands play their hearts out to an audience of other LA bands that have been there before.  Thanks again to Todd and Sea Level Records for the impact he has had on the Los Angeles music scene.  It would be a much different place without you.

I think you need a bit more of a story with this as this isn't really a news story in its current form. Perhaps you could write about why you like Michael so much?

Well said, such a person should be a good sentence, or the future will be more rampant.

will be happy to be proved wrong with this one.... but having done survival training during my Army days, I have to admit to a raised eyebrow with this as well.

[Boy Meets World]

Boy Meets World dvd is a show that may remind of you a lot of NBC's 'Friends,' except for teens and kids. The show does a great job of adding humor in a lot of aspects of the show. As Cory goes on, you can see that he is maturing with time. The show does a good job of developing Cory, giving him the girl of his dreams, a loyal friend, a caring family, and a teacher/principal who has always been at his side. The people in the world of teenager Cory Matthews (Ben Savage) continue to test his theories about life and relationships, on the boy meets world season 6 dvd boxset.
Topanga (Danielle Fishel) is one person who continues to test Cory's outlook and emotions in the ways of young love. Though they are back together again after a bumpy start, anything could happen when it comes to their relationship.
His best friend, Shawn (Rider Strong), no longer lives with English teacher Jonathan Turner ( Anthony Tyler Quinn), but with his truck-driver dad, who has moved back to town. Cory, who was instrumental in bringing the father and son together, hopes that Shawn's mother will also rejoin the family.
Cory's older brother, Eric (Will Friedle), failed to get accepted to a four-year college, even after all of his amusing yet sincere efforts to do so. He must now figure out if he's either going to make a fresh start living out of town or stay within the comforts of home.
Eric isn't the only one trying to decide what's best for his life. Their dad (William Russ) is also at a point where he must decide his future. He's worked at the grocery store since his teenage years and wonders if it isn't time to explore a different career. Fortunately, there's always Cory's mom, Amy (Betsy Randle), to give everyone guidance and all sorts of helpful advice; and his little sister, Morgan (Lindsay Ridgeway), to add her ten-year-old point of view.
At high school, the ever-present and wise Principal George Feeny (William Daniels) continues to make Cory's and Shawn's lives more challenging. The principal even gets involved with former student Eric as he makes some educational decisions. Feeny, who still lives next door to the Matthews, has a unique way of always seeming to know what unpredictable antics the young men are up to.
It's just so much fun to watch

I love and am used to keeping a distance with those changed things. Only in this way can I know what will not be abandoned by time. For example, when you love someone, changes are all around. Then I step backward and watching it silently, then I see the true feelings.
