drunken butterfly makes kim shake her ass in a fury that forces itself into the crowd... last night was a rare occasion to get inside the mind of noo york city's ghosts and flowers... but first a short review! :
arrived at the troc with a long line of people that we snuck our way into refusing to stand on the end.. my name is not the list, now what? go inside look for justin who will know what to do.. fast foward to erase errata!! four funky grrrls from san fransico who know how to play the best under two minute songs for the ladies and the fags yeah! these gorge girls were wearing handmade costumes that looked oh so hot.. at first the crowd gawked in amazement but we conviced them by dancing and cheering and singing along... erase errata are goddesses and deserve a legion of devote fans..
next up, bardo pond.. two words: shit sandwich...
then my name appears on the list and me roomies make it to the show just in time for the youth to take the stage..
candle - charged up guitars that lead us into a trance of swaying to and fro..
kissability - kim takes the mic away from thurston and rants her funny lyrics at us..
then some new stuff - the empty page, rain on tin, plastic sun (minus the britney spears reference), radical adults lick godhead style, karenology
shadow of a doubt - had kim taking the mic again as she talked about kisses and stuff.. toward the end she began her beautiful screaming
schizophrenia - utter madness descends the crowd into a viscious moshing frenzy.. love it or die.
drunken butterfly - kim drops her baby blue geetar to ask us what yr name? as always the best song of the night..
two more new songs which brings the total up to seven!!!
silver rocket - fast, urgent, a rush of blood to the head after almost passing out..
making the nature scene - kim talks to us about the pre-guliani days of nyc when the ladies with leg warmers used to walk their block to make money and then guliani took it all away.. punk goddess, i think yes!!
so this closes yet another sonic tooth concert at the troc-o-dero.. justin exits due to stomach illness, but not before the backstage passes are wrapped around our wrists..
walk up to sara from erase errata and ask her to do a station id, she complies and magic is made, we talk about coastal differences and the upcoming concerts that i will most definately be at... then i approach jenny to ask about the tour, and how i want to see a full set of their songs.. fuck bardo pond.. she tells me that mary timony(from helium) is much better than bardo pond and should have made it for the philly date.. did i mention how much i love this band!!!!!!
ok backstage shaking in my pants about to talk to kim... hi, how are you.. how is the tour, excited bout central park tomorrow? kim says our free shows are usually our best cause people dont have to pay.. laugher fills our hollow domes... and then we talk bout coco and the album cover.. the picture is of coco and her dutch friend in strawberry patch.. we agree on its beauty and lack of alteration..
more talk about the change in lyrics for plastic sun.. why did they get rid of the britney spears reference you ask?? well according to kim, they didnt want to have any problems from her.. hmm seems they are scared of the pop princess.. i ask if coco likes britney, kim laughs at this and says she tells coco that old men write britneys songs and computers make her voice pretty.. i jokingly ask kim if she hates britney, she nods.. oh boy! kim tells me that britney is about marketing and las vegas entertainment.. she is made for a certain age group - young girls... wishing i had recorded this gossip i must admit kim's honesty with a total stranger, me.. she says she is tired and has a headache.. exit kim.. exit smiling me and roomies.. i got a signed poster personalized for bo-cho which i hope she likes.. kitty kat picture by kims names.. it was a good day..
