pretty lights

so last night i went to a pretty lights show at the national.
at first, i was not planning on going because the tickets cost twenty dollars and i have absolutely no extra cash.
but all of my friends wanted me there and surprised me by buying me a ticket at the last minute. which was the most awesome thing theyve done for me in a while.

we got to the show and long, a dj that most people in richmond know personally, opened for him. which was pretty cool. he played a good set and its cool to see him getting some serious recognition.
anyway, when pretty lights came on the show turned into a huge mass of sweaty bodies dancing all over the place.
their music sounded like a mix between girl talk mashups but with more electronic sound effects.

i have to admit,though, i like pretty lights more than girl talk. in comparison, girl talk is more mainstream in the songs that he chooses to sample.
the dj in pretty lights uses less lyrics and more electro, dance-type clips, which makes it sound more original and unique.

regardless, they put on an awesome show. it was a nice weekend break from the anxiety ive been giving from school and schoolwork.
