"Unbeliever" rhymes with "la la la la".
Went to a gig with Al last night and felt old. Oh dear. This is where it sets in. I'm only 20! This shouldn't be the way! But I was watching Good Shoes over fifty scenester haircuts. I felt totally out-Primarked. And now I'm sitting here complaining about it to the sound of classic twee. In actual news, the band were good, very classic indie boyband. (Album review here). Frenetic artrock guitars, fiddly harmonies and, indeed, "metronomic" drumbeats. (Thanks, DrownedInSound). Plus, I liked the support, Vincent Vincent & the Villians. Not as jivey as I'd been led to believe. But they opened with 'Baby, Please Don't Go' (Van Mo), and I was sold.
Talking of Van Mo, my dad was going to give me the record player and all its good sound-making parts.. But he's changing his mind, obviously, 'cos everyone likes a record player.. So how do I talk him around? I think maybe if he thought he was loaning it to me.. ?
In other news, I have a fringe. Yes. I am in the Cat-Power/Pixie-Newsom/Bat-for-Lashes brigade now.. Gulp. When I get a photo I will let you readers review me. Beat me to it by being me in person.
Like Lizzie. She's in there. We're going to see 300 today. Frank Miller-authored, à la Sin City. Then we're going to a private view. IN LONDON, no less. So, stick those various references to mildly-indie life in your pipe and smoke them. (I wouldn't want to).
