I do not see how a picnic and a bbq would lead to an interrogation, but what you do with your time is not for me to judge.

hahaha now thats forward. sucks that you missed the long blondes show. but did you miss the veils show too?
 
 and which ticket do you wanna buy off of me? LOL. i have tickets to so many shows. if youre referring to tomorrow night's show at the bowery, thatd be a no way in hell. im getting together with about 5-6 friends (if not more) and planning a dinner then going to the SOLD-OUT show    so that'd be a no can do.
 
 and if you ever are in the city - definitely let me know. im good for hospitality, assuming i dont have other company. if you buy me brunch, its even better and/or a concert ticket is WAY better  :p

Did anyone else go to Sea and Cake last night?
 
 I was quite surprised that they played Jacking the Ball!
 
 How was Califone?

anyone going to Architecture in Helsinki tonight at the club?  i would have thought that they'd generate a little buzz on this forum, hipsters that y'all are.  i haven't heard their latest album, apprently it's been leaked though.

[Vas Deferens]

If I go out tonight, it would be Electrelane at the Black Cat    AiH are good to see once a year, but already saw them couple months ago at the BC. I think they tour a lot now because they live in Brooklyn now??

black moth super rainbow is really good, at least on record. i'd think it'd translate well live. lots of vocoder and mellotron. they will be much better than AiH, who blow goats. the best combo would be to check out BMSR then electrelane at the black cat, or even ladybug transistor at dc9.

looks like i'm not going out tonight after all... some work popped up, dinner isn't cooked yet, and it's going to be a packed week at the office so best if i start it off with a good night's sleep.  so it'll be a music performance free weekend for me.  well, not entirely, i did dance to dimitri from paris last night at club five.  i hadn't listened to house in a while so it was good to go shake my thang.  dimitri was on, music was funky but the crowd was meh.  frat boys in baseball jerseys and flip flops... so fabu (ok, there were only two, but still)

so, who went to the veils last night?  thoughts?
 
 i bagged it and checked out the "jesus lizard live" movie at the BC.  great movie, recommended.  the interview at the end was so aweful it was entertaining.

I was there -- it was a stunning, absolute corker of a show!  The fact that they went on after 11:30 on a Monday night aside, I think it could have only been improved if the 5-piece band would have been given a proper stage to perform on instead of that postage stamp.  They played about 8 songs off the new album, 2 brand new songs, but only 1 track off the 1st album (Wild Son).  Finn's vocals were as good live, perhaps better, than on record and the band was super-tight (special props to the 2nd guitarist). I was prepared to be disappointed, but the sound was actually pretty decent for the bulk of the show.  The crowd seemed to be impressed even though I think many of them were holdovers from seeing the dreadful but aptly-named opening band, the Comas.
 
 They said that they would be in the States and in Canada for the next 4 months and that there was a possibility that would be back.  I would love to seem them a 2nd time in a better venue.
