Saw Los Campesinos! and Titus Andronicus tonight and it was awesome. However, I am ready to pass out right now, so this post may be more ridiculous than usual ( Read more... )

HOLY SHIT AMAZING NIGHT.

Got to the venue at around 9:30. MSTRKRFT themselves didn't go on until about 12:30 and ended at 2:15. (L.A. Riots and some dude named Felix Cartal opened.) I probably have permanent hearing damage, my legs will be sore from dancing for the next couple of days, and I am drenched in secondhand smoke and secondhand sweat.

Interpol were fab. Caitlin S drove me, and she's neither the go-early-to-stalk-the-band type nor the stay-late-to-stalk-the-band type, so I had no chance to try and rape Paul. Oh wellz. Due to the whole assigned-seats-at-the-Ryman thing, we got there about ten minutes before Liars were supposed to start, meaning we got there about twenty or ( Read more... )
