Thinking back 7 years when I had my last full-blown hangover (at age 23), I'm reminded of my mortality. Are those bruises on my ribs from last night's drunken fall? Possibly it's the knuckle print of a mediocre life trying to knock me kicking and screaming into a mediocre adulthood? Is it my imagination? I dunno. Natie gots to change his ways. There's a piss stain in the corner and everybody's shaking their heads. "Did I get you, buddy?" he said, stumbling out of the stall. "I'm ok, fine sir. My foot is actually quite dry," was the prompt response followed by a quick exit. Yes, death, I do look quite glazed over. Pickled, actually.
Saw the Dirtbombs and Spiritualized on 07/27/08 in NYC. Dirtbombs didn't talk to nobody, blew through the set. The experience was comparable to driving really fast in a convertible. Still, if Mick Collins was the bomb, then Jason Pierce was the fallout. Spiritualized's set was as beautiful and heart wrenching and it was dense and thundering. They played tunes from all of their albums (including this year's excellent "Songs in A & E"). The closer of the set was an extended "Come Together" that mutated into Spacemen 3's "Take Me to the Other Side." Best show I've been to in five years.
