do i have the right to lift my dress up over my head?
Tonight, as I walked through Astor Place:
DUMB JERSEY GUY: Excuse me. Excuse me. Excusemeexcusemeexcuseme!
EVE: (finally turns around with an inquisitive look/bitchface)
DJG: You're coming from a pub and I was going to buy you a drink.
EVE: No, I was coming from work and I was going to go home.
And then I turned back around and kept walking. Queen of zings and parallel sentence structure? (Yes.)
I'm going home a month from today and I feel somewhat ambivalent about it. Sismac and I will both be back in the yay for a week, and we basically plan on sitting in the pool with a bottle of wine the entire time and mooching off the Macparents which will be awesome...but. It's only for a week. I really just want to go home for a month and just decompress but I literally can't afford to be away from my job for that long.
On Friday I'm seeing Sunset Rubdown for the third time and at Studio B, near my old apartment in Brooklyn. I am excited to hear all the songs off Dragonslayer (leak plz?) that I haven't heard yet, but part of me also wants to just sit in a room with Spencer Krug sans band at his old honky tonk piano and just listen to him play his eerie tunes. However, there is nothing as adorable as Spencer and Camilla insulting the fanboyish audience, so I am STOKED.
I also finally saw Grizzly Bear for the first time last Friday (not yesterday), at Town Hall in the center row. Though I technically saw them in 2005 open for Sufjan Stevens' Katrina benefit at the Bowery Ballroom, if we're being technical I was mostly in at the bar for their set and reading a play for a class. How ever much I do love Veckatimest, I can't even explain the shivers I got when they busted out with Lullabye, which is hardly my favourite off Yellow House. The pieces from YH just have so much more depth to them somehow -- I think I like Ed Droste more when he writes shapes and sounds that don't depend so much on traditional song structure. And then Colorado was joined by Nico Muhly and some other people on strings and it just about broke me with its majesty...aside from the repeated refrain "colorado, what now?" it only really has one lyric --
when I clung to you there was nothing to hold on with/you let me adrift.
P.S. I AM SO EXCITED FOR THE FINALE OF ASHES TO ASHES, YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW. I've loved the second series like 229304x more than the first, and I CAN'T WAIT FOR MONDAY.
