despite what a certain center said about Cleveland that's just "bull." he's need to get out more maybe a visit to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, A Christmas Story House , or even the West Side Market . whatever this boy is talking about he needs to take a moment enjoy the Forest City. i have a feeling he won't because some people are just boring. and if they're going to be demolished in the first round of the playoffs i too would talk ish about the other team...just like a child. boo hoo. speaking of the best of Cleveland: Mr. Gnome. to say the least this week has been rather busy for me. this entire month of april has been quite busy. even the sundays (the day of rest..my me time) has been filled with things to do and people to see (and not in the Hollywood sense but in the best times of ones life). albeit most of it has been with family so i wouldn't change that for anything/anyone..sidenote: they are the best people in my life and given me much joy. i'm only sorry you're not part of my family but you ARE a friend and that's just as important. so thank you. i just remembered Honeyhoney is from Ohio. no wonder rock and roll hall of fame is in ohio. they KNOW their music. and great music. caveat: if you're emotionally unstable it's time to take your meds and/or let it ride before listening to Mr. Gnome. they will take you on an up and down ride to your deepest fears which is done in such an effective and awe inspiring manner that it still haunts you even after you've left the bar, driven home, and snuggled into bed and in the moments right before you've falling asleep and quite possibly in your dreams. mr. gnome has been compared to mazzy star, portishead, massive attack. i'll be honest and say nothing can compare to the aforementioned bands but mr. gnome is definitely in the same likes of. she (Nicole Barille) plays the guitar and provides the vocals. he plays the drums, sometimes the piano, and sometimes back up vocals. its pretty amazing to see the two play when you hear their music...because it's not quite you expect. at least not for me. but i'm just a concert enthusiast. not a music aficionado. and when i see these two do their thing. it was soo good..i haven't been this impressed by a live show especially when it wasn't expected. her vocals are genlty calming (with reverb and echo) but in contrast are his percussions and let me start another paragraph to speak of his drum abilities:
remember the name, Sam Meister. here's to hoping he stays with Mr. Gnome but the likelihood he moves on to the bigger arenas is possible. not to say mr. gnome could never fill up the arenas. i'm just its best felt through the intimacy of a dimly lit room sin smoke and mirrors (coincidentally, it was fourtwenty so there was a lot of smoke in the room ;) so sin mirrors. he pounds it out like its life/death at the carnival and in such a venue as the silverlake lounge you feel it.
