—————————-
met my ex-chicago-bestie/current-austin-bestie lauren (& her mom) at the airport, and we got dropped off and immediately saw beach house, what a way to start! they are good except the lead singer lady looks kind of like my mom in yearbook pictures so i don't like them.

we ate wendy's. i had a chicken sammy, fries, and vanilla frosty

went to a 8-bit show but it…

Fri 6 Feb – The Mae Shi, Yea Big + Kid Static, Post Honeymoon

Does anyone have pictures from this show? I need photographic evidence of what I experienced. Absolutely unreal.

Mon 28 Jan – Dan Deacon, Fatty Boom Boom, Ultimate Reality

Written at 2:30 AM, after the show:

1) Pain! Head is sore, back is sore, ears buzzing. My ear plugs actually got knocked out, how cool is that? I kind of wish that it was more dancing, less pushing, but it was OK.

2) Awe! At that second act! That was the most amazing mix of THINGS I have ever seen: a technicolor montage of Arnold Schwarzenegger scenes, 2 drummers with animal masks on, phat synth underneath. Heavens!

3) Confusion/Pity! Who the hell was that first guy on stage?…

Sat 29 Dec – His Hideous Heart

This was His Hideous Heart's reunion show!

In August 2007, four sixths of His Hideous Heart went to college, so the band had to stop playing until winter break. While the four who went to college could enjoy doing fun college things, and Jeff has a girlfriend and hobbies, I experienced a very sad time in my life, during which I played a lot of Super Smash Bros. Melee. My friend Cory and I even went to a tournament and competed as a team. I was Dr. Mario and he was Sheik! I…

Thu 1 Nov – Jens Lekman
What an awesome show! Here's why:
1) I got in for free; I met a nice man outside whose friend did not show up, so he gave me their ticket and refused any money. Awesome!
2) I got to the Ballroom early- like 7:45- so I talked to this guy before the show started a little bit, and I guess he was a music history major or something? He knew everything about every musician ever. We talked about Shostakovich for like twenty minutes! Awesome!
3) Jens' stage presence! I felt like he was my…

Wed 27 Jun – Minus Story, Old Canes, His Hideous Heart

Well, I'M IN A BAND. We're called His Hideous Heart! We played our first show three days before 2007 started. Since then, we've played about two shows a month, something like that. We have played with some awesome, awesome bands! It's been really cool! But it's also been really discouraging!

Here's why: frequently, the bands we open for, no matter how good, have tiny audiences. Jennifer O'Connor, who is awesome, and has POSITIVE PITCHFORK REVIEWS and shit had like a dozen people in her audience; Kevin Devine kinda had…

Thu 21 Jun – The Fiery Furnaces, Dios

Last night I went to a concert alone for the very first time in my life! It was Dios (Malos) (correctly written?) and the Fiery Furnaces.

The concert was good- I had heard Dios Malos before, but forgot what they were like- they rock live. Their drummer would chug bears between/during songs, and by the end, he was spitting or drooling some weird thick gak from his mouth onto his drums and everytime he hit the drum it would fly up like a fountain. It was disgusting but awesome to see.

Fiery…
