What stinks is that the day before, Naked Raygun is playing. If I could somehow swing both, I so would.

Jesus fucking christ go see Naked Raygun! You said it yrself, neither Against Me! or the Dropkicks in their current configuration are worth the time.

I know. I know... My husband bought the tickets for me as a birthday present. I feel like a jerk, but I would SO rather see Naked Raygun. He had no idea they were playing the night before. :| Hopefully they play again in the near future.

I'm going to see Cat Power tonight! While I've been a fan of her music for ages and Moon Pix is one of my very favourite albums I've never seen her live, mainly because I was put off by too many stories from the late 90s/early 00s of her shows being absolute train wrecks. But I think she's tightened up her act since then? Anyway apparently Jim White's in her band tonight so that alone is going to be worth seeing.
Also Sufjan Stevens in just over a week. I thought his show was sold out but I looked again and apparently there were 24 seats left.
Oh hello there credit card, my old friend.

I just got back from Cat Power. A very large part of her set seemed to be composed of new songs, some of which sounded really good, but it would've been nice to hear some more familiar stuff, too. Though the older songs she did play was usually changed drastically: "The Greatest", for instance, was slowed down so much that it was almost unrecognisable. Nonetheless, there were a few highlights which I'll list in no particular order:
1) Jim White is currently sporting a mad scientist hair-do. Imagine a Russian icon, if the halo around the head was dark brown and made of hair. I'm not gonna lie, it's pretty awesome.
2) It was Chan Marshall's birthday, and after a few people shouted out happy birthday to her after a while into the set the crowd launched into a spontaneous chorus of "Happy Birthday". It was a pretty cute moment, and it was only made better by how obvious it was that no-one really knew how to pronounce the name "Chan", certainly not in an Australian accent, and the whole song dissolved into mumbles.
3) For the very last song Chan and the band played "Metal Heart", which was perhaps not surprising but was welcome all the same. I absolutely adore that song and I can truly say that very few performances have made me as happy as hearing that song being played with Jim White (who drummed on Moon Pix) behind the drumkit.
4) I met a really cute and really smart girl who when I suggested we keep in touch asked me my surname and promised to find me on Facebook!
EDIT: Oh, and 5) Chan Marshall, after playing a new song: "That song's not a virgin any more, but it wasn't fucked right."
