Theme Thursday - The Road

Before I get to Theme Thursday I just want to say that I saw Electric Six last night for the third time. They did a free show at Southpaw with Earl Greyhound. I'm not going to say much because it was a lot of the usual - fun dance rock and crazy antics from the lead singer (I got a hug this time and he was singing literally inches from my face for a minute. It was pretty awesome). Electric Six was great as usual, despite the lack of keyboard player this show. The crowd was pretty cool this time too - not too rowdy but very excited to be there. At certain points I thought I was seeing The Beatles or something. People were screaming and grabbing at the lead singer's clothing when he came up to the front of the stage. The frenzy was kinda weird actually.

The sound mixer sucked though and I couldn't hear the vocals. I would write about Earl Greyhound, but I honestly can't really form an opinion of their songs since I couldn't hear their voices at all. It sounded like I might've liked the songs, but I couldn't really tell. Stupid sound mixer. The vocals weren't much better for Electric Six, but I could hear him a little more because he tends to yell-sing anyway, and plus I know the songs so I can kind of pick out what he's saying. Anyway, on to Theme Thursday...

So a theme was finally suggested to me: road construction. However, that is a rather tough theme to find songs for, so I'm going to broaden it a little and go with "the road." And, as always, feel free to leave suggestions for future themes.
