Sound of Silence

As I was escaping a hot summer saturday I ducked into the NY public library. I took a seat in the back of an exhibit hall. As I was sitting down the Simon & Garfunkels song “Sound of Silence” came on and the scene above unfolded. I thought it was pretty neat and decided to film it.

Concert Last Night
Amy, Brian and I went to see a show last night over at Webster hall. If you haven’t been, Webster hall is a great venue for a show. Big enough, dark enough, has balcony, 3 or 4 bar stations and most importantly pretty decent sound for a beat up old building. The opening act was a band called Vampire Weekend. They played for just over 40 minutes, showing the crowd an upbeat and fun act. They are still recording their first album and if the show last night was any indication, expect big things from them!

The headliner was a more popular band, Animal collective. They were playing songs from their new album, Strawberry Jam - Check out that album art! They have a more futuristic sound and didn’t really play real instruments. It was more wires, cables, and machines - with some drums and the occasional guitar. The show was definitely a surround light and sound show with all your senses being entertained. Below is a video from their new album:
