it would appear that i have an obsession with wizard rock. i really don't. in fact, as a genre, i have some issues with it (as evidenced by previous posts
here and
here), but think that harry and the potters are tops.
anyhow, they rocked the library in minneapolis this week. it was pretty awesome.
highlights include:
- paul running around during voldemort can't stop the rock and rocking right in front of us in the second section of the auditorium.
- joe playing the tenor sax all around the auditorium during save ginny weasley from dean thomas.
- the megaphone during the human hosepipe. my sister and i just looked at each other and were like, "yeah!"
- hearing the new songs from the power of love for the first time, and then rocking out to the cd at home afterwards.
- overall wizard rockery goodness.
photographic highlights include:
there are plenty more photos available for your viewing pleasure
here.
(that *should* work)
(have i ever mentioned how much i prefer a blurry concert photograph to a crisp one? it's a strange phenomenon indeed. crisp ones are good, though, for creating magnets with. just so you know.)
a side effect of the show was that my daughter, age four, who attended with me, has not stopped singing "i am a wizard" since we attended. this was four days ago. she sings it every morning in the car and every evening on the way back home. as they say, though, the proof is in the pudding, so here you go:
evidence of the singing.
the new album is really fantastic. i plan on writing more about that at a later date and time, but just know that if you like music and you like harry potter and you really like
good music, then you should probably check them out. they're pretty much the best thing since sliced bread.
