Missed Fiction Plane
I found out today that the band that played during the Apple Campus Bash last night was Fiction Plane. I left around 8 because I rode my bike and wanted to get back before dark, but I would have stayed for a while if I had known Fiction Plane was playing. Oh well.

Deja Entendu
Jeff, Sean, and I stopped at Virgin Records store while we were in San Francisco on Sunday. I picked up the Fall Out Boy CD Take This to Your Grave and the Brand New CD Deja Entendu. The Fall Out Boy CD is good, catchy pop-punk CD. I have to say though Deja Entendu is simply amazing. They have an eCard here if you want to hear a couple songs off the album as well as some older songs. I have to admit I was a bit skeptical about it after Jason Tate at Absolute Punk had been hyping it so much, but it definitely lives up to the hype. According to my iTunes play count I've listened to the entire CD 10 times since Sunday, so yeah, the entire CD is good.

Live 105 BFD
I went to my first concert here in California last Friday. It was the Live 105 BFD concert. There are pictures of the concert posted here. I got to see a couple bands I've seen before that are really good live (Finch and The Used) and I got to see a few bands I haven't seen live before, but who I've wanted to see (The All American Rejects, The Ataris, The Donnas). They were all really good. Finch played a couple new songs and they will be recording their next album here very soon. Speaking of new music, I'll have to see if the iTunes Music Store has the Brand New CD Deja Entendu tomorrow. If not I may just have to break down and buy Less Than Jake's Anthem.
