B&S and a birthday

Wednesday, March 15, 2006

Ishi won the "date" contest and attended the Belle & Sebastian show with me last night. Though the place was sold out, it never really seemed that crowded. We were able to leave to get drinks and go to the bathroom several times and still get our same place up front throughout the evening.

The New Pornographers started the show promptly at 8 p.m. and played for almost a complete hour. The set was good, even though it was hard to hear the keyboards at times. I'm not that into them, so I was only able to recognize one song, "Sing Me Spanish Techno," which was the last song of their show.

The New Pornographers last night:

Belle & Sebastian played really well and were very chatty with the audience. I don't have a set list to give you, but I do know they played "Get Me Away From Here, I'm Dying," which is my favorite song of theirs. It was dedicated to some visitors from Louisiana that the band met earlier in the day who requested the song. Louisiana...dying...you get the point. Other songs I remember them playing include "Like Dylan in the Movies," "Another Sunny Day," and "The Blues are Still Blue." The audience kept yelling for "I Fought in a War," but they never played it.

And here's Ishi in mid-dance:

Now, everyone please wish Joshua a happy birthday. He's a ripe 23 today.

Anonymous: You should have come up and said hello to me.

Ishi: No, thank YOU! You're a good dance partner.

What, there was dancing? I was too crowded it seems. But, at one point in the evening i was walking back from the bar and lost my balance for a second and totally felt this girl up! Then I made this "Oopsies, I'm drunk?!?" face and all was forgiven. Tote-al score, though I would have rather been dancing.
