Starting off with Where the Wild Things are for my Hopkins dormitory floor theme.
getting my wild hand tattoo which was just a temporary rebellion.
the release of Spike Jonze's Where the Wild Things Are, which brought many discussion about the level of children friendliness and re-evaluating the original children book written by Maurice Sendak.
the wild act of nature that graced upon northern east coast. The snow storm suspended everyone's anticipated departure from Hopkins for holiday season by few dates. On the other hand, I secretly enjoyed having people around for few extra days.
and the Wild One concert!
actually.... this Wild One!
Although Rooney is the first band to break through my innocence in popular music I would have not made any effort to purchase ticket and get my cold body wrapped up in jackets to listen to them in live. Again, all the sincere thanks to Wenli.The group's forte is in strong vocal and overall performance have attract people to their live concerts, but in contrary the song Wild One did not shine enough on the stage to wake up the audience's interest. More or less it left us dubious on how we should react to the flow of the music.
The song's subtle yet catchy verse nicely suited the drummer Ned Brower's light and sorrowful vocal debut. Robert Schwartzman is also an excellent drummer. There was no doubt about the overall performance of the group, nevertheless the songs from newly released EP could not make smoothly transition from the preceding songs that harvest much liveliness, which was the factor that are loved by younger crowd.
The Wild One is much mature (as Wenli and I both agreed) of Rooney's previous selection that we believe in soon time the songs will reach much larger group of audience. Beyond any doubt the tight construction in multiplicity of the melody and expressive vocal parts makes Wild One to be worthy enough for 37 repeats on my iTune per day.
