self-titled: ^_^

i'm such a good little indie music fan.

after a weekend of absolutely nothing, i called TT The Bear's sunday night, verified that, for the moment, the twilight singers show wasn't sold out, and then headed there. Opening band was lame-o, i guess 2 members from the fly seville doing a pussified acoustic set. Then the twilight singers band came out, waited around, and then the man of the hour, greg dulli. Greg f'n dulli. For all his lyrics, and stylings, and swagger, the dude is short, fat and not incredibly attractive. It was a little disappointing, here's a dude i just thought would be the coolest motherfucker since some really cool guy. But christ did they rock.

Forget the twilight singers stuff having quieter more loungey moments. everything was sped up, loud as hell, with thrashing guitars and the afghan whigs growl. It was super rad. they thrashed through all the hits and it was super mega high energy and awesome. he did bring things about as he gave a speech about suicide and elliott smith over the intro loop to martin eden, which was actually sort of touching. but then that song exploded later on. On the second encore they played a full cover of Outkast's "hey ya" which i really didn't think could get any better, until it segued right into the whigs' "crazy" and i was like, owned. It was truly a great moment. forget what the final encore was at the moment, but i'm sure it also rocked.

monday night was the morr music tour featuring christian kleine, b. fleischmann and ms. john soda. I missed kleine, fleischmann (herr fleischmann as he was introduced) was fun. It's weird, i mean, packaged electronic music like this, what's the point to seeing it live? the best manipulation you get is some extra distortion, but it's still a good show and i think mainly because it's so loud and surrounding and in your face. It was certainly a weird crowd, everyone sitting on the floor and talking in accents and junk.

ms. john soda came up, and i was disappointed in stephanie bohm's looks much like dulli the night before. She was sorta short, sorta heavy, and not nearly as attractive as i had hoped. also looked a lot younger than i'd put someone who's been in bands since 96 or something. but once that girl opened her mouth and started singing i was in love. her voice is just soooo appealing, and she's making all these cute looks with her eyes. half the time i just wanted to take her home to mom and get married, then on songs like 'go check' where she's all really hot and bothered but in that detatched disinterested austrian way i didn't really want to marry her so much. For some reason, it didn't seem incredibly unrealistic that night that after the show we'd make out and then i could go around telling people "i made out with ms. john soda" and everyone would submit to my awesomeness. I kinda chickened out afterwards though, and just bought my CD from herr fleischmann and went home.

then tuesday i ate something that wanted no part of being in my stomach and i threw up a bunch of times. That meeting was fun, worried i'd have to rush out the door at any moment. staples called during my aborted lunch though, i'm still dealing with them but things are progressing.

now i have to go play videogames that make me ashamed to exist.
