Alright, gotta get this over with quick 'cause I'm about to fall the fuck asleep.
A quick recap:
Yesterday - Went up to KCMU to get new CDs to review. Took 10 this time. So far the band that has struck me the most is called Mezodigm. Thwy have this weird Slint-with-lap-steel feel to them. Southern-fried post-rock. Cool.
Last night - M0GWAI = TRANCENDENCE. I liked Pan Sonic too. I've seen them once before (opening for Trans Am at the Breakroom). Imagine all of the molecules in your body simultaneously fusing, and then breaking apart. That was this show. It was also the 2nd loudest show I think I've ever been to. (The 1st being Public Enemy at Aro.Space.)
This show was also monumental, because a) I purchased a 3-song Mogwai CD of a (supposedly) 500 limited edition CD run; the 3rd track is an Arial M cover, and b) I purchased (with financial assistance from Stacy) my very first band shirt ever. Yep, you heard me. Ever. Why? Because most of the bands that I felt were worthy of having me walk around with their name emblazoned on my chest never made t-shirts, or I was not able to obtain one. But I am proud to say that I am now officially part of the Scottish Guitar Army. (I wonder if that's a parody of the KISS Army, or even the MELVINS Army...hmmm...) As far as I know, Naked City never made shirts. If they had I sooo would wear one.
Saw some peeps I ain't seen in a good long while last night too. It was muy bueno. However, I got to bed just a lil' too late, which leads me to...
Today - Talked to the girl. She is very very very sick. She might have strep throat. She will find out for sure tomorrow from the doctor. She's in pretty bad shape, and I can't go over to her house and take care of her lest I get deathly ill myself. So, in lieu of personal care, I've been keeping in close contact with her by phone. She's strong. She'll make it OK.
In other news: Got to work half an hour late. Ooops. Went to lunch with Brian at the WAC(k). Neato. Left work and ended up at the Rock Bottom for drinks, video golf, and shop talk. Again, neato.
After leaving the Rock Bottom, I found myself ravaging the 75% off bin at Borders. Here's a list of the fruits of my plunder:
and then I paid regular (albeit cheap or sale) price for:
Ok, I think I'm done. I'm pretty sure that Death Cab is a no go tomorrow. The likelihood of getting tickets at the door is slim, from what I can gather. But if anyone knows anything different, please let me know.
Crikey. Tired Ed. Eyes burn. Smoke too much. I think I'll have another.
Oh, I am now apparently part of a "Sims" love tryst.
Tasha my dear, if you only knew...
