Palladia

This is my first non-concert related post in awhile! Unfortunately school has been putting a damper on my concert-going, but I've been keeping up with tours anyways! I would LOVE to see Atlas Genius with Imagine Dragons at the House of Blues March 4th & 5th but I have a feeling they'll be at Lolla this summer (I hope!). I've also been watching a lot of Palladia, which is the coolest channel! If you have Comcast, it's on channel 209. This channel plays TONS of programs, including Storytellers and Unplugged. It's a great way to discover new bands because they often play full-length concerts and festivals. It's also cool because there's something different every night, whether it's Daryl's House ( Daryl Hall from Hall and Oats has artists come into his house and play music + cook!) or a music awards show. Palladia really has something for everyone and anyone that loves music should definitely check it out! It's kind of a best kept secret because not many people know about it. I love when they feature an entire week of music festivals because they play the ones from Europe, which look AWESOME! Watching them seriously makes me want to jump on a plane for a weekend and experience it. Other programs I enjoy are Storytellers and Unplugged. Both programs feature an artists/band, but Storytellers is a little different because they artists tell the stories behind their songs. I always think it's interesting to hear what one of my favorite songs is really about, especially when the meaning is totally different than I thought. Unplugged is also awesome because the songs get stripped down and you can hear the songs acoustically. My favorite Unplugged sessions are Nirvana and Young the Giant, among others. Nirvana's Unplugged felt special and unlike the other sessions. I liked it so much that I even own it on DVD! Young the Giant's songs sound great acoustic or standard and they have such a cool vibe going. If this post doesn't convince you to watch Palladia then I don't know what will haha but from a fellow music lover, it's the next best thing to a concert! :)
