No, I won't be at the Arcade Fire show at Spreckles tonight. I'm not a huge fan of Spreckles. I'm not really a huge fan of any place with seats that don't have enough leg room for my feet, let alone my legs. Granted I have large feet, but not that large. When I saw Pinback there two years ago, I was so uncomfortable that I had problems paying attention to the show. So no, I won't be there tonight.
Instead I'll be at the House of Blues. I know, I know, I'm not a huge fan of that place either, with the constant low roar of the crowd that doesn't give a shit about the fact that there's a band playing. But so be it. The Cinematics are opening for Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin and Mute Math. I'm curious to see the Cinematics live, after reviewing their album. But the real reason I'm going to be there is SSLYBY. I love the infectious pop on their debut CD Broom. It's upbeat and catchy - very Beatles-esque with a little bit of early Weezer thrown in. Unfortunately, I won't be able to stay for Mute Math's set, as it's Jessica's last night in town before moving to San Francisco and so we're gathering at Hamilton's to wish her good luck. Although who knows? There's a decent chance I may be living up there as well this time next year...
