Gigs you've been to and your thoughts.

Grand Ole Party at the Crepe Place (Santa Cruz) last night was fucking amazing. They're going to be HUGE.
Get Humanimals, their new CD. You will not regret it.
SOOOO glad I snagged the set-list. =D

jelluz. i want to see her live so bad.
segway (although i've heard rumors that they broke up): monday night i went to see bill callahan with jonathan meiberg, and it was phenomenal.
jonathan meiberg: i've never seen anyone try so hard to be jeff mangum and fail so miserably at it. he was hilariously bad and he irritated the piss out of me. he was part of bill's backing band, so he got less annoying as the night progressed (he's a genuinely good guitarist, at least), but man. that solo thing. whoo doggie.
bill callahan: ah, now the good part. it was pretty much perfect. his backing band fleshed things out just enough, the sound was great, the crowd wasn't too big and the atmosphere of the venue was perfect, he played every song i wanted to hear with the exception of "dirty pants", etc., etc. he's beautiful and a genius and that is that.
at one point i considered driving to austin to see him live, so the fact that he was practically in my damn back yard was fucking sweet. afterwards me and my friend talked to him and made him sign things and he seemed so uncomfortable about the whole thing. admittedly we were reduced to giggling schoolgirls and i'd be willing to bet that's never happened to him in his entire career.

I just got back from Sonic Youth. Holy Fucking shit. Best gig I've been to. I was in the front row and about as close to Thurston as you cold be, I had several thousand roaring, head banging enthusiasts behind me and it was fucking sweet. These two canadian stoners befreinded my freind and I and they turned out to be the funnest nicest guys. And they pretty much led the party. There was bogan bitch annoying the hell out of us and in between songs one of the guys turned to her and screamed "THE WORLD DOES NOT FUCKING REVOLVE AROUND YOU! IT REVOLVES AROUND SONIC YOUTH- at which point the crowd roared in support and we got a nod of approval from Thurston.Seriously if you ever get the opportunity to see these guys just fucking take it. And i got Thurstons Pick!
