Tonight saw Le Tigre at the El Rey (translated: the The King theater).
When I was on the outside of the floor crowd, fretfully contemplating the least invasive route inwards towards my people, a guy and a girl erupted from the mass and said "Come on sister! It's the Underground Railroad!" and they were like tree branches that parted in my presence, my stranger escorts into the core of the crowd. To this I replied: "I'm feeling the moss on the west side of the tree trunks to find my way north!" and they actually knew what I meant and we laughed the privileged giggle of people who have mastered at the minimum, a secondary school education.
So Le Tigre danced (choreographically), Le Tigre rocked, Le Tigre pushed some noise.
Kathleen Hanna.
She might be the grey-eyed goddess Athena, or she might just be hot and compelling. You tell me.
I love hot and compelling!
There were many moments during the show when I would say to myself - oh, hey it's Jack Osbourne! Only it wasnt. Ever. I was being repeatedly foiled by, you might say, "roly poly little bat-faced girls". With fros and plugs and black button up shirts.
You missed out.
(also, anyone can post now. Go ahead, try it. The raspberries taste like raspberries. The bananas taste like bananas. The schnozberries taste like schnozberries!)

Shlebz,
Jealous. Haven't seen a show since I've moved to L.A.
I think Dios (wearedios.com) is playing Cinespace on 11/30. I might try to go to that, 'cause Dios is great.
I was "into these cats before anyone".
When I tried to use moss as a compass, I had no idea what I was doing and got lost in the woods. I made it out alive.
At my cubicle in a sea of cubicles. Good times, E-Rock
Then you should come to Smog at Spaceland on sunday!! Yes yes, tickets only 10 bucks. There are 6 excellent people going. Make it 7!
Also, the questionable arcade fire show on the 7th. Questionable because there are only 150 tickets left and the jonesing has begun on Craig's List. And I have 3 tickets to Imperial Teen on the 11th if you are one of the only people left in the city at that time and would like to shake your can.
Dios mio!
Must check agenda. Is roomate's birthday, so we shall see but I am up for live music 3/4 of the time.
S
We must get tickets to The Arcade Fire! I can't get that damn song out of my head and against better judgment, @ 5 AM I was still listening to it and said what the heck and threw it into my film...way out of place but I just had to get it out and share it with the class.
I want to do it with the Arcade Fire.
This kind of overwhelming musiclust hasnt happened to me in while. I still dont have my schedule for December but like I said, if I am not working or get off early that day, I'll park my bad self outside Spaceland with a book and look alive.
Dont you like track 2? It's about Alex (laika).
O, the Underground Railroad. Me ma fights the good fight every year by having the kids in her grade five class read "Underground to Canada". I wonder if she also pushes "My Side of the Mountain" on them. Probably, she's an advocate of good kid reading (just look at what I grew up reading). Too bad I don't read anymore.
