So. F'in. Tired.
Last night we went to see the Poster Children, Imperial Teen, and the Breeders with Conan and Lisa. Missed the first ten minutes of the Poster Kids' set, which sucked, becuase they were really on their game last night. They were playing about 10x faster than usual, trying to cram as many songs as they could into the measly 22 minutes they were given as the opening act, and tight as a drum. I love watching the P-Kids play. Rose bounces around the stage like an awkward punk-rock ballerina. She's beautiful and dorky and human. They're also some of the nicest people in rock-n-roll. P-Kids are eternally screwed, though. They have the worst luck in show business. Sez Conan: "It's like they ran over a gypsy or something." How else to explain the fact that they aren't megasuperstars yet after 10 years of hard hard work, and even some minor hits and breakthroughs?
Sorry, Imperial Teen, I skipped your set, because my stomach was holding other parts of my body hostage and threatening to digest them if I didn't eat something. The Fillmore has great food. Crab quesadillas. Really wishing I had some right now. Mmm. Crab. Huh? What? Oh. Back to the entry. I could sorta hear IT from the dining area, and they sounded just about exactly like they did the last time I saw them, so I don't think I missed anything.
Breeders took the stage, and they played stuff. They played stuff from Pod and they played stuff from Last Splash and from Title TK and from the Amps record, and they played the Buffy theme, and it was all good, but I really had to sit, because I'm old and tired.
We got home pretty late, and I got to bed later, and I have this job where I actually have to be up early, and it sucks. So, I'm tired. In case you couldn't tell by this utterly brain-dead posting.
Posted by laura at July 12, 2002 10:20 AM You saw the Breeders? I'm so damn jealous. And they played the Buffy theme? I fucking hate you.
*smooch*
I wonder if the Breeders actually *do* any breeding?

Posted by: trey on September 1, 2002 12:35 AMThat's great! I am pregnant with Kim Deal's lovechild! If you marry me, we can force them to be in a band together when they turn five!

Bitchin.. We'll be stage parents, and our kids will rock, BECAUSE WE'LL FORCE THEM TO. They'll kick the Olsen twins' skanky asses.
Hey Laura, when the fart are you going to update? We're dyin' out here.
Posted by: trey on September 1, 2002 12:36 AM I got to see the posterchildren, some super crappy band that people seemed to like and you sound eleventy-billion times better than, and the breeders at the showbox in seattle while I was there visiting, on friday, 7/12. I wish I could have stayed longer than the first ten minutes of the breeders' set, but my ride decided to get blotto, so I hadta take the bus home, which left about 15 minutes after the breeders started playing.
At least he paid for the ticket.
