By the way, I got my shift on Oct 29th switched so I can drink at the Matt & Kim show now! Shit, I gotta get on that still. I plan on being somewhere between Girl Talk drunk and music festival drunk for that. This is gonna be a shit-show weekend y'all. I'm so excited! (Oh, shit, I guess I should get a ticket, eh?)

Going to be on vacation in Orlando while Flosstradamus, Gotye/Givers and GZA are playing. Would love to see Flosstradamus but I would require a ride. Gotye/Givers and GZA are right by my hotel at The House Of Blues but Gotye is 50 fucking dollars for a ticket.

See him/them. Some of the best musicianship I've seen on stage in a while. Then again, if you're not into the music, I could see it coming off as wankery...

I feel like seeing a giraffe pissing into a vase might be more entertaining than a lot of things.

I'd rather watch a giraffe piss into a vase than ever again feel as bored and disenchanted as I was during their set at Sasquatch. I expected it to be $35 at the most, but when I went to get tickets and saw the $48 total... I backed out. Not worth it. I love The Shins, and I wanted to see a headlining show from them, but I really don't feel like spending that much.

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.
