man, oh man

merde!
let's get this blog rolling again. i've been telling myself i've been too busy, but maybe i'm just too lazy...

i went to see a show the other day that's worth talking about. the headliners were a 5-piece band called man man. frankly thuough, i much preferred the opening band: yeasayer, from brooklyn. they reminded me of sunset rubdown, but a bit more restrained. without the intense cosmic outbursts of spencer krug...
man man, i knew very little of. i went because it was recommended by a blogger i like. although, now that i think about it, maybe she recommended it because it was the only decent show on this sunday night. anyways, they're all guys jamming in front of the stage in a circle, hitting on whatever it is they have around. the lead guy (moustache and never-nude white shorts) hits the keyboards like a madman, regardless if he's hitting the right keys or not. like when you're mad at your computer and you hit it as if it's going to change something? get me?
they had a good drummer and a good bass player who mostly stuck to their instruments, but poor dude with the guitar, we couldn't hear him amongst the brutality of the other sounds. i thought i liked it until i really grew tired of the lead guy's performance. i know it's something that'll get the fans cheering, but just stick to playing. quit jumping around like a fucking monkey.
aaaaaaannd, release!

stat!
