blonde redhead...sweet christ! i can't imagine it getting any better than this!
yesturday was a weird day: i had to be at computer school all day and i died inside a little. when i got home i was exhausted. i took of my clothes, sat around in my bathrode for 4 or 5 hours and then was suddenly struck by this burst of second-wind. something inside me screamed,
"MICHELLE, GET OFF YOUR ASS! GET PUMPED! PUT ON YOUR HOT NEW SHOES AND GO SEE BLONDE FUCKING REDHEAD!!"
so, i went. i picked up clarice at the junk cellar and oogled the sexy blackbyrd employee just leaving as i was arriving (yeah, he knows who he is...) and waited.
after a couple of stops we arrived safe and sound at new city ready to dance our asses off to the musical stylings of the floor. we missed the floor...in fact, there was no evidence that the floor had even played. the audience was sedate and bored.
acid 302 was playing when we arrived. three dudes with laptops and absolutely NO interaction with the audience. now, i am all for the laptops, in fact i love laptop nerd music, and it wasn't the laptops that made them boring...it was the SAME FUCKING THING over and over and over again...it was leaning away from the glitchy laptop music and heading into soul-less techno catagory as far as i'm concerned...
anyhow, no time wasted and the epitomy of new york by way of the entire rest of the world cool, a la blonde redhead, start their set.
no talking, just rocking!
seriously, they uttered the phrase 'thank you for coming to see us play' all of three times in over an hour...cool ass shit kids.
i can't even describe how it was...how it felt. it was music to take over your body and soul. i closed my eyes and it all washed over me and my body took it all in and bathed in their sonic goodness...
cheesy, i know, but they were amazing! A-MAZ-ING! when it was all over i felt this odd sense of bouncy, reflective, euphoria...SMASHING!
yeah, wow...holy shit!
i am so inarticulate about how amazing it was. i could surmise what a rock journalist would say:
" sonically brilliant, blonde redhead aurally cleanses your soul with the perfect combination of experimental postrock, new york artrock and some fantastic post-punk with a decidedly pop overtone thrown in for good measure..."
or something like that.
it was rad! here are two photos. they're not good. there were too many tall people standing in front of me last night!
toodles poodles,
xo michelle.

I heard it was good. I've been in a total slump for going to shows these days. Seems like other shit always comes up. What I need to do is, see, just not ever make any plans for anything, and that way I can go to fun shows.
Glad to hear it was good!
it was soooo good. you should come to xiu xiu on saturday...i can hardly wait!
I'd like to .... alas, my super popular status has me out of town again, this time at Jen's lake near Bonnyville. But I'll be wearing extra small scrubs and dressing like a male nurse, so there should be more entertaining stories coming your way.
jeff...i don't think i could live your life...it would be hard for me to be so popular and so amusing all the time...i'm in awe!
Ya, it's pretty sweet. Seriously guys. I had to put up a force-field around my car to keep the hordes of screaming girls away.
