Fun Stuff > BAND
Wrock.....
onewheelwizzard:
This semester I took a class labeled "Mythology and the Movies" and the professor was a Harry Potter fan to the core. She actually went so far as to organize a "Harry Potter Day" at the University of Pennsylvania Anthropology Museum. Since I was taking her course while she was organizing this event, part of my grade was helping to make it happen. I ended up dressing as a wizard and being the voice of the Sorting Hat, which entailed putting a huge wrinkled hat on a kid's head, yelling "Gryffindor!" and then repeating 500 TIMES.
Anyway, one of the attractions was a Wizard Rock concert, complete with gaggle of high-school girl fans dancing intermittently in a cluster on one side of the auditorium. There were two acts: a guy who came and placed a model of a Whomping Willow on a chair next to him and played as the band The Whomping Willows and singing songs from the perspective of the tree itself, and two quite attractive girls calling themselves the Moaning Myrtles and singing songs from the perspective of, you guessed it, Moaning Myrtle. It was pretty entertaining, actually.
Zeitgeist:
I went to see Harry and the Potters/Jason Anderson with a few friends a while back. The whole show was more or less just held in some kid's living room, with everybody either standing around or sitting on the carpet. The kid's mom even came out between the two to let us know that she made lemonade and brownies if anybody was interested.
It was a pretty excellent show, and I ended up getting an album from each of them, but was ultimately disappointed with their recorded material as compared to the live show that both gave.
I sort of went along expecting to be somewhere between mildly amused and confused by the whole ordeal, and I'm sure that if I had simply heard a Harry and the Potters album that would have been the case, but it ended up being fairly awesome, mostly because both Harry and the Potters and Jason Anderson were genuinely interested in playing their respective songs and making sure everybody had a good time.
And although this is a bit off-topic, if anybody gets the chance to see Jason Anderson live, do so. The only way I can explain how he is live is that the only thing I could think about when he was performing was that if a a kids TV host got fired, spiralled into a deep depression, drank a lot, eventually snapped himself out of it and went hobo-style around the country playing music, I'm sure he'd play a live show pretty similarly to Jason Anderson.

Any show where someone's parents offer you baked goods and drinks is worth going to.
Wizard rock, I declare you..pretty..cool. In a geeky sort of way.
