Maybe it was that moment of 70 degree weather 2 weeks ago. The first hint of short sleeves and a subconscious realization kicks in that I’m not going to have to look after my coat or shiver uncontrollably on the walk home, sweat freezing on my untanned skin. The spring hasn’t really come yet, but it’s tickling the back of my mind, and it means that it’s time to get out, get moving, and have a great time.
Ahhh, yes. Spring. When flowers bloom, you start noticing that people are sexually attractive again, and strappy shirts and miniskirts leave a vacancy in the closet for your gigantic coat.
It’s time to go dancing!
Before we talk about this weekend, let’s wrap up last week’s– here are those much promised videos and photos from Patrick Wolf’s successful-even-with-issues cabaret spectacular at MisShapes on Saturday. Thanks to CDK3000 for all the photos and videos (and trusting me when I dragged him out on a cold and awful night to see an artist he’d never heard of):
Sure, it’s blurry… But this photo during “Bloodbeat” captures the whole hazy, hedonistic feeling of the night and how high emotions were running when the whole… problem… occurred.
Now, moving on to THIS weekend. Here’s my to-do list:
Friday:
*Go to work.
*Work on my thesis.
*Go see the Klaxons at my favorite club on earth.
Sure, they playing down the street from my apartment tomorrow, and Studio B is a schlep from here, but I can’t get enough of the place. CDK3000 will be sitting this one out, which means I’m either going to have to suck it up and lug my gigantic camera with me or that there won’t be photos. If you’re in NYC and you miss the Bowery Ballroom show (or you just can’t wait to see them again) come out and join me! I’ll be going nuts to this track:
Totem on the Timeline — The Klaxons
But what about the next day?
Saturday:
*Work on my thesis.
*Go see people making asses of themselves singing karaoke… with Of Montreal.
*Dance to Flosstradamous till I forget I have a thesis.
I know that the plan is that Of Montreal is going to play other artists’ work for karaoke and then do a whole set of their own stuff afterward, but quite frankly, I’d like to be the jerk who requests to do this number off the band’s newest record:
The Past is a Grotesque Animal — Of Montreal
And as far as Flosstradamous… I can’t even weigh in on their stuff because I’ve heard it at home and it’s CLEARLY meant to be heard while working it out on a dance floor. But here’s a taste:
Act a Fool Ravestradamous — Flosstradamous
Sunday:
*Go to work.
*Work on my thesis.
*Be very happy that Studio B exists to alleviate the stress of graduate school.
