Noisepop Part 1
Miss P happened to win a couple of Noisepop passes and she gave one to me! Yay! I'm seeing a million shows for free. Ok, more like 4 or 5, but still.
Last night, I checked out the show at Cafe Du Nord with Miss C. The band that really impressed was Deadboy and the Elephantmen. Man, what a dumb name. But it doesn't matter. I'm still trying to figure out how to describe them exactly, but it's not coming out right without a torrent of words. Imagine the White Stripes as less bluesy and more altrocking. Imagine them fronted by Britt Daniel from Spoon with a more powerful voice. Then switch the drummer for a better drummer. Retain the sense of volume dynamics with a little less songwriting skill. And I think that covers it. He does have an amazing guitar sound and that powerful voice helps too. I'm liking the album too.
More tomorrow!

Holy crap. I step away for a week or two and find out I have 400+ spam comments heading to my blog. What the hell do I do to stop that?

I went to see some bands...
So I went to see some music last week. First time in a long time.
1. Okay still isn't.
2. Stereolab was fun and I was glad I went with David because he had an amazing time.
3. Like the 88 a lot. They sure cranked up the power pop fun.
4. Within seconds of hearing Street To Nowhere, RK and I looked at each other funny. Emo is just bad enough.
4. Really liked Birdmonster. They were obviously so happy to be there and they've got a good guitar sound going. Best of all was their bassist. No, wait. The best thing is that they were just very cute. Yay for cute. Kudos to being right, RK.
