rock shows

i did end up going to see the new pornographers last night with rania & sean. neko case was under the weather and thus not on stage last night, which really? i'm ok with. carl's cousin or neice or 'synthesizer girl' as someone called her last night is fine. she's pretty adorable, and i've seen neko case both good and bad. last night it just seemed like they were having fun and that's all i really want to see from a band that i like. i don't like watching someone and being able to see their brain work (Aloha, i'm looking at you!) (and probably you, Patrick Pestorius). THere's something really...i don't know....disengenuine about watching someone mouth along the words to their band's songs when the songs are um...not such rockers? yeah.
anyway....okkervil river- pfft. they're not my bag.
the new pornographers played a cover of 'don't bring me down' which was about as joyous and cute a thing as you could ever see. although i don't know that i'll ever need to see them again. twice at the black cat, twice at the 9:30, once at pitchfork- i think that's enough for me.
one thing i did love? highschool kids right up front leaving early and also? oldsters! like....*really* not young folks getting down. (although i am of the opinion that you shouldn't wear a shirt that says 'if you tap it, they will come' and you yourself are pushing 40. just say'n) i felt not old. which was great, considering next weekend i'm going to jay reatard and i'm pretty sure i will be one of the elderly in the room.
maybe the same for islands next month? although islands might pull in some older kids from the ex-unicorns fanbase.

And speaking of shows on the horizon, i'm all but counting down the days 'til the night marchers at the ottobar.

I have off tomorrow...something about emancipation day for DC government. i have plans with my lawnmower.
