^ a little something i just named "awk rawk"
awkwardly rocking out. seriously guys, atleast of the dc area...just loosen up, if you want to move and are worried of what other people think of you, you should be, as those people who are looking at the crowd more than the music theyre there for....well yah! and besides that you just flat out shouldnt be concerned!

I have my choice of 3 upcoming Decemberists shows. I'd have ordered my ticket already, but I'm in the middle of "Ticketmaster decompression."*
*This is when you go to the venue's site and see that tickets are $18.50 and you think "Hm, that's reasonable," then you follow their link to Ticketmaster where you are reminded that TICKETMASTER IS FUCKING RETARDED and wants an additional $7 for the "convenience" of taking your money, plus $3 for the privilege of receiving a printable electronic ticket (how the hell do you justify charging ten times the amount that it would cost to send the tickets in the REAL MAIL to send me an e-mail?) So suddenly your $18 show is going to cost you $28 and you're like, "Fuck it," but then you remember that OH WAIT, IT'S THE ONLY WAY TO GET A TICKET because you live 2 hours from the box office and you don't trust the show not to sell out. So you spend the next 2-36 hours slowly accepting how badly you're about to get raped before you're ready to proceed with the raping.

i was at the arcade fire/wolf parade/ bell orchestre show... the music from arcade fire was fucking great but i enjoyed both arcade fire shows from the last time they were through town more, they both seemed far more intimate. and the crowd last year before arcade fire got hyped wasn't 1/2 teeny boppers/moshers/metallica fans/hip hoppers. i did, however, get the heads up on their end of show acoustic campfire song and managed to be about 6 inches from the band while they folked it up... that was rad. i could have made out with win butler if i was so inclined.
wolf parade's set was lame... i guess that's what happens when you don't do soundcheck. at least i got to see them in a crack motel a couple weeks back, their performance and sound(the looping synth at the last show was hypnotizing!) was 26x better, and the aih/wp duet of 'do the whirlwind' was much better than the halfbaked af/wp 'wake up'.
bell orchestre. they're good enough to listen to, but not good enough for me to put on any form of best of list. enjoyable, but forgettable. better live than on the cd though, i'll admit.
all in all, a fun night out with a bunch of friends, but i'd seen better performances from each band. and half the people there disgusted me... there's something about sharing music you love with people who probably listened to sum 41 on their drives home that cheapens the whole experience.

Dude, were you at the aih/wolf parade vancouver show during september? Was it no minors or all ages? I'd be obligated to kick myself if it was all ages.

it was a 19+ show in a dingy crack motel/art gallery, in a back alley on east hastings.
