Motion City Soundtrack Concert

So this last Sunday I went to a at the Fillmore Auditorium in Denver, CO where Metro Station, Amberlin, and Mae were playing while Motion City Soundtrack was headlining. I've got to say I was very impressed with all of the bands that played, except maybe Metro Station who really didn't seem to get the crowd going at all not to mention they seemed to be trying very hard to look punk when they really didn't play anything but some sub-par emo. Amberlin definatley got the crowd going (everyone went from just standing to rushing the stage to get up close), and although I had never heard of them before this I must say they do have some potential. Mae was quite good, but given how their music is more relaxed than something hardcore like Amberlin the crowd just kind of stood there.

Motion City Soundtrack was, obviously, amazing. I've never actually been to one of their shows before Sunday but they definatley did an excellent job getting the crowd pumped up to listen to them and most of the songs they played were all of the ones the crowd wanted to hear. If you haven't had a chance to listen to them head over to my profile over at Zune.net, click on them and give some of their songs a listen. If you're into indie/pop rock you will probably enjoy them. I managed to get a few good pictures of the show as I was in the second row for the majority of the time (got to love general admission). Check out the ones below or look at all of them on Flickr.

Another Giveaway

So thanks again to the folks over at GamerScoreBlog.com I've got another few codes to share:

  • Halo 3 Heroic Map Pack
  • GripShift
  • Undertow

The rules are the same as last time. So, if you're a registered user (here or at MajorNelson.com) login and post a comment here. If you're not registered make sure you set your name to your gamertag AND include your gamertag in your post. Also, because it was very tedious to make it fair for everyone who only wanted certain content items I'm just going to run a drawing for everything at once. So when you post your comment you're entering for all three of the above. If you have any questions/comments/concerns send me a message over Xbox Live, or shoot me an email.

Some general guidelines:

  • Do not attempt to enter more than once, if you do enter more than once you will be disqualified for this and any other giveaways I might do
  • Register if at all possible, if I have any question as to whether or not you've tried to enter more than once this will make it very easy for me to determine you are innocent
  • If the content is not available in your region then the code will not work, so please make sure it's available before entering
  • You can only win one item

The winners will have the codes sent to them via a message over Xbox Live.

Good luck!
