2008 Woodie Awards
Do you ever wonder how the likes of Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and Ashlee Simpson can dance around and sing a song almost perfectly? The reason they can bounce around, and be out of breath and keep that perfect pitch is due to something called audio dubbing, also known as lip-synching.
Perhaps I should have taken the bolts of lighting flashing over San Francisco as an ominous warning. A warning of what was about to occur at the show I was about to attend. The scene at Cafe Du Nord was one of people escaping from the stormy weather and young hipsters gathering for a show.
Artist: A Perfect Circle Album: eMOTIVe Genre: Rock "eMOTIVe," the third release from supergroup A Perfect Circle, is a wild array of emotion revolving around themes of politics and war. From the chilling introduction of the cryptic verses of Matthew Borruso's "Annihilation," through the calm and hopeful words of John Lennon's "Imagine," the album stays on the soft side for a couple of tracks.
With rhythmic vocals, pulsing beats, rock and techno undertones, The Faint, brings the entertainment. The Faint sounds like The Clash thrown into a blender with The Cure and a dash of disco added. This band is perfect to dance to or lie in a dark room and daydream to.
