Ricky Fitz is my hero.
I watched a tarp fly over The Mounds in the backyard yesterday, in a haze of Tylenol with codiene (I got more dental work done...yay me?) and thick breezes washing by...I was clean, and close to the Divine, yet all I wanted was a peanut butter and jelly sandwich to make my day more blissful; alas, it was not mine to have. a. - because we had no bread, b. because my partial toothy-thinger might get caught up in the peanut-buttery goo and come out.
how's THAT for a visual?
I went to see Meg Lee Chin on Wednesday with
wraptboy. Of course, the show had even bigger bonuses, what with excellent local artists such as Furnace St. and State of Being opening for her? Of course, the strangeness that I believe was called CD-Truth just started the night all surreal-like; consider garage-punk meets early Nirvana and well, yeah. They umm...they made me laugh. A LOT! I even made the "ROCK&ROLL!" hands at them...how un-siren of me...tee!hee!
State of Being came up next...
zahn is sooo proud and beaming for their score of 5 out of 5 in some magazine.... I am totally disconnected, so my acknowledgement of this was just in that I'm-really-happy-for-you kind of way, not in that, "NO WAY! You got in *insert magazine name* and scored a FIVE???!!!!" kinda way.
It is always nice to see my friends glow, and even better when it's on stage.
Then came Furnace St. Now, I have seen them a few times before, and I'll be damned if I never noticed Adam's facial-contortion skills.
wraptboy said he's right up there with me. heh. They were very entertaining, to say the least. Their stage presence has jumped up some notches, and I really enjoyed both their and SOB's sets tremendously.
Then there was Chris Connely. Former Ministry-Pigface-etc. etc. OK, yeah, so he's changed a bit since that cover of "Do You Think I'm Sexy."
He was awesome, don't get me wrong, but the energy was alive and sparking like wavy-wires, yet his set was soooo sloooowww and mellow. I liked it, and hell, may one day (when I have more money) get his cd. But that night he just seemed very out of place.
Then there was Meg. Meg. Lee. Chin. First lemme say that the price for tickets was outstanding, having gotten them from SOB. Five bands for that price was fantastic! But damn if that woman didn't put on a show! All jumping around, lovin' her voive-pedal and playing with it like a kid with her new toy! It was so silly and fun, and the trippy beats that let you dance around and feel them in your bones...I was jumping and bouncing and booty-dancing...it was just silliness and fun everywhere!!!
Their encore was "Big Scene," and she came out into the crowd and let us sing in her mic while she toyed with her voice pedal some more...she was laughing like a madwoman, and it was just fucking awesome!!!
And now?
Now I hafta run and sing some jazz...
Oh, and just cuz it's funny...there's two people beside me who are customizing an LJ, and they don't even know I am posting beside them...degrees of separation are too damn funny sometimes.
