broken social scene @ bowery ballroom

i know i'm totally going to get slammed by doug the lawyer for leaving the broken social scene show yesterday early. probably an hour before their set ended. why? i was tired and they played all the good ones minus "lover's spit" by that point. i do like that emily haines. she's such a trip and i think her voice sounded pretty AMAZING last night. the best i had ever heard it. i have to say that i am finally converted to their live show now. i had seen them twice previously -- the free hudson river park show at the pier and then at sxsw at stubb's. both were outdoor shows, which i think wash out the power of their huge sound. one of the electric guitars was too loud in the mix, as well as a saxophone, but overall the sound was impressive. i just cannot stand for 2 and half hours for any band. that's why i don't jam.

ps. preshow i hung out at jay's house with noah and kyle. i ordered mama's mac and cheese. that stuff is so delicious. comfort food is amazing, eh? thanks jay for letting me hang. i lost you at the show though. where did you go?

oh and don't forget to go see the walkmen tonight at irving plaza!

yes, i'll be there rocking out as per usual. join me! join me! we can pretend we are on an episode of the OC.
