Starting to get pretty pumped for my first DJ Shadow experience. This is going to be out of control and Bonobo is opening so it will be double out of control. Unless two out of controls make a control. Then it will be mad control

I vowed never to go to the Hawthorne again after too many years of being hammered by the terrible sound. But last night I was talking a guy at a party and he said that he knows the guy who runs the place and apparently they upgraded the sound system recently. About fucking time.

I'll believe it when I see it, which will be never because I will never ever go to the Hawthorne again.

We saw Aimee Mann at the Aladdin last night. Hers is one of those shows that I will go to pretty much every time she comes through town. It is always exceptionally great. Plus she always plays the Aladdin, which is like thirty blocks from our house.
We got there early enough to sit in the front row -- well, sort of. We ordered food at the bar which took nearly an hour to come, so I went in when they opened the doors and just parked Stormy's purse and an extra t-shirt I was wearing on a couple of seats in the front row. They sat unattended and unmoved for more than an hour, which is another great thing about Aimee Mann shows -- her fans behave like adults.
The show was amazing. The crowd roared like a lion. She played most of her new album in the first half of the set, and then got to the vast majority of the material from Magnolia and Bachelor #2, with a couple selections from Lost in Space and I'm With Stupid. As always, Aimee was sharp and intelligent and very funny. She had a fantastic guitar player, and six keyboards set up in two banks of three each on either side of the stage. The new album is pretty synth-heavy; you rarely see a band with two keyboard players, but it was extremely tight and it sounded great.
I know that me and Stormy are the only Aimee Mann fans on the board, but that's you-all's problem and not mine. However, I picked up a copy of the new album on cool transparent yellow vinyl and it came with a download code. I already gots the MP3s, so if anyone wants to hear it, say hey.

Yeah, that sounds great. I really like Aimee Mann. I would definitely go see her if she came to Calgary.

It's worth noting that the crowd was substantially larger than it was last time she was here. Because of this ridiculous bullshit:
I talked to at least three people who were there for the show who couldn't name a single one of her songs; they were there because she was on Portlandia. One of those three people was a woman who had never heard her music at all -- she said she was there because she heard that Aimee Mann had been on Portlandia. I told her I'd heard about her appearance on the show but I hadn't seen it. Her response: Oh, I haven't seen it either. I don't watch television.
I just watched a couple minutes of that segment and I had to turn it off. It made the rage boil up inside me.

What is it you hate about Portlandia again? Do you hate sketch comedy in general?

Fuck no, I love sketch comedy. If it doesn't suck. What I hate about Portlandia is that it is written and performed by two assholes who don't even live here, and who can't even be bothered to, y'know, write jokes. They are just portraying actual aspects of Portland life, as if the people of this city are funny just by virtue of living here. It's lazy, it's offensive, and worst of all it's not fucking funny at all.
Not only that, but ever since that fucking show came on, people have been flocking to Portland because it gives them the impression that this is some counter-cultural Valhalla. The number of street kids has doubled. The number of street kids using fucking kittens or puppies as props to inspire pity so people will give them money has gone through the roof (and apparently there was a teeeeerribly funny sketch about that on Portlandia as well). The housing market, the job market -- both already completely for shit -- has gotten exponentially worse.
Is that 100% attributable to Portlandia? No, that is silly. But it is certainly NOT helping.
