Went to see the band Xiu Xiu tonight in Bellingham. Turned out the concert was in some guy's living room and it was just the lead singer. Anyway, I was wearing one of my slick Joy Division shirts (for which he gave me props) and while all the little indie kids sitting on the floor cried between songs, I asked if he would play Ceremony. However, he said he had a policy of not playing live any song much, much better than anything he could ever write. Reasonable excuse, I thought.

Cried between songs? What on Earth are you on about?

Actually I saw one girl cry during the middle of one of the songs. These wan indie kids wear their emotions on their sleeves. I would've laughed, but I was too busy smiling broadly at the lovely song.

You? In a house full of vulnerable weeping indie girlies? what were they thinking of?

Yeah, they shouldn't have let me through the front door. Especially because I didn't pay.

That JD shirt is one hell of a good luck charm

what - you went to see a band that used backing tapes? :skeptic: No, he played guitar and harmonium (though not at the sam time). The rest of his band wasn't there. Apparently they make their own huge percussion sets (chimes, etc.), but someone stole all their equipment sometime last year.
