Last night, as expected, I opted out of the probably was totally fantastic Movable Hype show and found time well spent with dominos 3-for=15, Jed, and a new episode of Lost (where they played "I Never".. you know that would have been the FIRST thing I did on a desert island, get drunk and play games like "I never"). I managed to get some ten hours of sleep, so despite missing some great music I feel pretty fantastic today. Even though I missed Elkland last night, apparently they are on a mission to play as many shows in one week as humanly possible. Everyone wants a piece of the Elkland now? Anyways, you can catch them tonight @ the Delancey, set time is 11pm.
I got a copy of the new Spoon album, Gimme Fiction last night. So far, two listens in, and I'm sort of in love. The opening song,
"The Beast and Dragon, Adored" is especially amazing. More to share later...Tonight, if I had money to spend on shows, I would be torn between seeing French Kicks at Bowery Ballroom or The Music and Kasabian at Irving Plaza. I've been listening to Kasabian's self-titled cd a lot this week at work, and they make me feel gloomy like BRMC and yet I still want to dance around to anthems like "Club Foot" and "Processed Beats" and a lot of their stuff is very hip hop influenced as well it seems. And I've loved the Music since I saw them during CMJ last fall - Breakin' is one of my favorite songs to DJ. Should be a night of a lot of great loud tunes. And if you go to this show, or any show for that matter, make sure you stop by the great afterparty that Audrey is throwing @ her weekly party Atomique. Here's the flier:
