congrats/obsession/an open note

first off, the title of this post is NOT A NEW BRIGHT EYES SONG, even though it looks like it could be!

secondly, thanks to jamie's flaming lips post, i'm happy to report that the music slut had our SECOND BIGGEST DAY EVER over the weekend...and from the looks of things, it seems as if today we will break that. so, a pat on the back to my fellow sluts!

in other news, i'm still glowing from the sigur ros show on thursday so i figured i'd let you enjoy this pretty/intense track off of takk, here's SAEGLOPUR annoy your co-workers with it, lord knows i do. it sounded glorious the other night.

i finally have my people in planes pictures ready for you to poke fun at/admire. this is from the in-house show at spin magazine 2 weeks back. a note to spin magazine, don't invite people who ACTUALLY READ YOUR MAGAZINE into your in-house shows!

the futureheads acoustic gig a year or so ago was utterly amazing, mostly because there were absolutely no 16 year old girls in studded belts. the people in planes show had the rudest crowd ever. the 16 year olds were so excited, that i thought they were going to bust right ouf of their MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE baby Ts.

sadly their excitement meant that they would NOT SHUT UP the entire time. often times speaking louder than the band performing. totally ruined the show. it was obvious that PiP were not impressed either.

my guest and i shimmied our way to the front to try out best to actually hear people in planes fantastic set. 'falling by the wayside' was surely the highlight at this low key show.

also, worth noting, pIp will be coming back stateside in april with 'some band with blue in the name' according to their bassist.

guesses, anyone?
