Pipe Organ Is The Best

Current Song: "Ocean of Noise" -- Arcade Fire

Arcade Fire/LCD Soundsystem was great, and could have been amazing if it wasn't in Roy Wilkins Auditorium. The sound quality in there is muddy at best. Also, I hate it that Minnesota audiences don't move around at shows. I always want to apologize to the band.

Also, some girl got in my face because we were on the floor and the people in front of me got in my way so I stepped in front of her and she grabbed me and was like, "Um, you stepped right in front of me." And I said "I sure did" and kept standing there. Were her legs broken? Did she not understand the concept of the floor, where you can move around? I swear to God, some people have never been to a concert before.

Anyway, the concert was just good stuff. LCD Soundsystem was pumped up, even if the audience was not. And Arcade Fire had a good mix of new stuff and old stuff. And Win Butler crossed himself, Catholic-style, on the pivotal closing line of Antichrist Television Blues and it was pretty intense. On a related note, one of the guys in that band is clearly a wizard, as at one point he was up banging a drum in the balcony and I never saw him leave the stage. Really, my only complaint was that the sound quality in the venue made it difficult to fully connect and get lost in the show.

Oh, also, making the video for Dance Band was pretty fun. I feel like I'm in 90% of the shots, but editing will cut that down by a lot, I'm sure. Also, I got kicked out of an overhead shot because my breasts were too distracting. On the plus side, I made a lot of friends because of this. I should wear more lower-cut clothing. Just putting that out there.
