Desperate to hear you make the sound that you found for me

Tonight on our way home Marisa and I saw the Weakerthans at Music Hall of Williamsburg. I was all excited that they played both cat songs this time and then I read that apparently they did that last time too, the difference I guess being that I now absolutely love both of them. I see that in fact this set was really just a shorter version of the show we saw a couple of years ago, but I know more of the songs now so it was just as fun if not more so. Even though the lead guy appears a little shaky on the guitar sometimes. Actually, I enjoy that. Very punk rock.

Earlier in the evening, we went to a free Onion-sponsored screening of The Informant! with Nathaniel, Katie, Craig, and Amanda. I'll add a little more in my L Mag weekend preview, but it's another solid Soderbergh experiment. Matt Damon is terrific as the often upbeat but mentally unbalanced whistle-blower, and Soderbergh has a whole bunch of comic actors playing straight in supporting roles -- plus Bakula! Soderbergh is great. He should keep making two movies a year for the next five to ten years. Yes yes. One for spring, one for fall. Jesus I need to go to bed.

weakerthans, rock shows
