I really can't get over this Broken Social Scene record. So, of course, I spent the whole tour looking forward to playing with them. I didn't get to hear "Lover's Spit" because their keyboard gave up mid set. Still, the show was fantastic. Despite looking like a chump with a yellow tulip behind my ear [damn their Canadian gypsy influence...how was this ok?], I thought we played one of our best shows all year. The Paradiso is a beautiful, storied venue and it was a perfect way to end the tour. If I only described the backstage area as "confusing" or "mazelike," I would really not do these catacombs justice. So I'm just going to tell you how to get to our dressing room at the Paradiso [incidentally, this is also how to beat the 3rd level knight in the PC version of Dragon's Lair]... Down the stairs, straight, left, straight, left, duck, right, straight, left, right, right again, straight, through the door, right, straight, left, and through the door. And so all good things must come to an end. I officially retired the tattered and abused plastic bag I had been using to hoard cheese sandwiches for the last three weeks. Farewell. Auf wiedersehen. Au revoir. I will miss our time together. Tot ziens, sammy bag. Our time is done, but I will carry for a long time the various strains bacteria you carried and incubated for me these last three weeks. You will be missed. on the ipod: "Anthems For A Seventeen Year-Old Girl" Broken Social Scene |
