Kind of a… weird show (in some respects) but I liked it. Next Friday (21.) I’ll be playing Christmas songs, by which I mean not the traditional carol stuff but rather lovely indie-pop songs, which mention or in some way deal with the whole holiday thing. For example, Tiger Baby’s This Christmas, perhaps the first festive song I didn’t hate. (Maybe because, like all good Christmas songs ought to be, it’s rather depressing.) More on that later.
The Friday after (28.) I’m doing a best of 2007 thing -- one song each from my ten favorite albums (which I’ve not decided yet), as well as a few exceptional single tracks without which the aural year would be sadly lacking. Did that sentence make sense to you? I hope it did. Anyway, I’m quite looking forward to this show.
Also -- we are, sadly, not having a Modern Age on the 28., due to probable closure of the building our venue is in over the holiday break. The next show will be 11. January. Details soon.
And last week’s show -- oh my god. We’ve had bigger turnouts, but as far as intensity of involvement and the audience being into the show, I think Friday takes the cake. All four acts were great, and, uh, Ross was pretty phenomenal. As well as any number of other flattering adjectives. One of the best live performances I’ve ever seen. Really.
