Blergh!

Need a name. Is that the place you took us to that had that divine tomatillo?

It's possible it got deleted during a recent catastrophic upheaval in the ranks. Too bad so sad.

Wonderful little underground concert tonight. Went to see Bent Knee CD release party (they're from Boston, but got signed to Cuneiform, a DC prog label), got introduced to a couple of indie bands I now like. But back to Bent Knee -- oh, my were they fantastic. Proggy. Very proggy. So much proggy. Wow proggy. Harsh transitions, they'll be playing one thing at one moment, then take a hard 90 degree turn and be playing something entirely orthogonal the next. Lots of spacey, lots of pastoral, lots of rock, all shaken and stirred into a glorious cocktail of music. I think I might have to go up to upper Baltimore tomorrow night to see them again. They were that good. And a cover (I am sitting here giggling over how great this music is): And also I need to figure out if the bassist really dug me. (She introduced herself to me.) I definitely dug her. Or perhaps she was just high, check her out, playing this shit seriously. And the lead singer has this weird little vibrato to her voice that I kinda really dig

I'm in a rather largely densely packed cluster of indie hipster snob douches. I think it statistically unlikely that none of them are gay. They are required by geography to be well-to-do. I'm saying, you have a test audience right here. I'm sure they'll recluster in the future. There's also one really cute blonde female, and several brunettes, so I suspect that at least part of the audience is straight, but...who knows. Okay, two of the girls just kissed. So cute.

For her or for you? ;p

Mei, Partura

I finally got the replacement guitar this week, and he included the strap this time, but he put it in the pocket where the packet with the cable, tools, extra springs, etc. are, and that packet was missing. Axe Palace -- don't you ever fucking do business with him.

More Vox than Vox (at least current, new Vox).

Yeezh. Condolences, Brent. Agree with Antonio and others, way too young.

Earlier : final episode of Castle. ; _; In an article, the creators said they made three different endings: Well, the series is over, so it was that last one, and they were right, it was depressing as hell.

All India Radio, The Slow Light -- spectacular space music

Those screens are way too tiny for home theater. Oh, and: (squints)

Nine Stones Close, Leaves proggy hard rock with singing Mark Holcomb on Twitter asked everyone to stop using the expression, "clean singing" -- I asked him for an alternative; he responded with "singing" -- so here I am trying it, but it loses an iota of information proggy hard rock with Plant-ish vocals

Oh fuck yeah, external supertweeters FTW! And the first pair are gorgeous, too! A flower?

Condolences
