Here's the kind of day I had: when I drove in, our office manager had parked in my parking space, which was odd, because she usually only does that when she knows I'm going to be out all day in meetings or something, but I figured she must have misread my calendar or something. Then when I walked in, my boss said, "What are you doing here?" I was like, i work here, and she said, "You took today off." Yes, I FORGOT I had the day off. So I worked anyway, because I was there, and I'm going to take off next Monday. Still. That's a bad start to the day!
So, those Empires fellas, they're pretty great! Bang is really good. I don't know why I feel surprised, I really liked Howl and all the singles, but it's really satisfying, I'm very pleased. Sadly, my pleasure is dimmed by the tragedy that is Tom's hair right now. What happened? I don't understand. I feel like I'm in some cautionary tale about being careful what you wish for, I spent so much time wishing for Mike Carden to get a decent haircut and to my surprise he did. I never thought I had to worry about Tom -- his hair had always been above reproach (a testament to the old wives' tale that washing your hair in beer (or spilling beer over it) keeps it looking good), but now look what's happened. I mean, don't get me wrong, it's not horrifying or Cardenesque (in the classic sense), but still. Attention must be paid. I can only hope this situation will be remedied soonest.
And The Young Veins -- they're like a real band now, huh? I'm actually kind of surprised they've gotten it together, but also pleased. Admittedly the video I saw from the show was not good quality, but they were pretty good, and I loved the promo pictures. Ryan looks great, in his Ryan-ish way, and Jon, well, I have long said that he's one of those people who is completely transformed by a haircut (I have said this mostly to imogenics and my cat, but they both agree with me). I can only hope that touring in a van and hauling their shit around will make Jon's arms like awesome like they have in the past. Speaking of which, I hope that the Young Veins actually playing shows and touring around in a van will produce the Holy Grail of photographs: a) Jon & Tom in the same place at the same time at SXSW; and b) Ryan carrying heavy things or doing manual labor. We can only dream.
