There was no winner last night. I declared it a draw. Ash were very good, but concert nirvana was not reached. Mostly because those fuckers only played two (two!!) songs from Free All Angels and stuck mostly to their old standards. Don't get me wrong, it was tiggs to hear Kung Fu and Goldfinger but as my concert buddy L Boogie correctly pointed out, their new stuff just sounds better. It's more rawk and less...dare I say it...Brit pop.
I can't believe I just said that!
But it's true. New single Clones rocked hard and Tim had the flying V in rare form. Oh, and I'm officially head over heels in love with Charlotte Hatherly (who unfortunately was too far away from me to get a good pic of). She looked luminous in a jeans/white turtleneck/silver sparkly spaghetti strap dress combo.
The Bravery were pretty damn tight themselves. They opened with their two best songs Unconditional and Out Of Line and never really looked back. Say what you want about this band, but they have the goods and a sound that will carry them into much bigger venues. All in all a great show.
Merge Records to release the new Teenage Fanclub album and *gasp* they're gonna tour the US behind it! I saw them a few years ago at the Bowery Ballroom (pre blog days) and it was most definitely concert nirvana. I screamed Star Siiiiign at the top of my lungs for most of the concert and then they dropped it as the last song. Oh baby do you know what that's worth? Some say heaven is a place on earth. I loves me some TFC. Thanks Chromewaves for the info.
Work hell figures to continue until the middle of next week. Bare with me people.
PS - Anyone know of a good way to fight trackback spam? I'm getting hammered by people that want you to play poker. Thanks ESPN.
Don;t forget the DCist Happy Hour tonight! Come and drink with me!

google for "mt blacklist". The plugin is easy to install, and it works for both comment and trackback spam (you have to remember to use the non-default option on a dropdown box for the trackback spam, but it works basically the same way as for comment spam).
Oh, and make sure you have the rel="nofollow" plugin installed!

Hate spam (get the referrer log kind). They have, however, quit wanting me to play poker so much and now focus on XXXblondesoncamXXX and herbal remedies. I use Blogware so I have to wait for them to get that filter put in (TuCows you are so slow!)

Yesterday I got my first anti-alcoholism comment spam. Weird, huh? I'm sure it doesn't mean anything...

sorry I won't be drinkin' or watchin' Duke with you, but that's what comes from spending all my money and using up all my brain cells last weekend on the Duke/Carolina game. what's a girl to do? although it would've been fun to hang around with any Maryland fans.... heh.
