Ep. 18: Kim Loves 10 Years

Before I dust off my series, I'm gonna get sidetracked with a couple of topics.

1) According to my homepage, this is my 100th post? But if I count my actual number of blogs, it looks like this is only #95. What counted for the other 5?

2) I bought a ticket to see Linkin Park in January. I paid high $76 for the ticket (in the seats even. GA would have been about $90), and I'll be driving a ridiculously long time for this one, too. With my upcoming move, there were no dates nearby. Atlanta was the closest, and that's a 7-hour drive, straight-shot. I've decided to make it a little more worthwhile by staying in Knoxville and making a weekend of it. That way I can see some friends, then just drive down to the show (hence the seats, and not GA. If I had GA, I'd have to be there pretty early to queue).

Now to the point.

10 YEARS

Stats
Formed: 1999
Albums: 3
Breakout Single: "Wasteland," 2005
Seen live? Twice!

They're one of the heavier bands in my library. Despite the heavy guitars though, they have great melodies and memorable riffs. Their lyrics on the first album, The Autumn Effect, were a little hard to decipher, but lately they've taken to more straightforward lyrics.

Since I've become aware of the concert scene in Knoxville, 10 Years have been through here 4 times. I was able to catch them twice, and both times were amazing. A band should be better live, and they lived up to that expectation.

Here's a song from their new album. Love it!

  1. That's weird about the posting numbers. Mine seems to be dead on.

    I hate that you're having to move back here because I know you don't want to. But part of me is kinda glad too for selfish reasons. It'll be easier for us to hang out. We need to plan a Christmas shopping trip!
