after working out, making myself a tasty wrap for lunch, and cleaning my room for a bit, i decided to sit and blog a little. that's when "Death to Los Campesinos!" came on my shuffled playlist and knocked any deep, blog-worthy thoughts that were ruminating -smack out of my head. instantly, my legs go shaky-dancy-twitchy and i can't concentrate on anything. this song is killer infectious. the lyrics are so clever and brash. the song builds with great screeching yelps and frantic declarations - you've just got to sing along.
we saw them in omaha, almost a year ago now. it was such a great dive show. and what a fun combination of people. we spent the day, we thrifted and ate fanstastically cheap sushi. we were on the fringe of spring -brave rays of sunshine just beginning to warm the concrete. there was a lot of hopefulness and communion on that trip out west. new friendships and personalities and relationships, brought together by the common thread of music. the show was absolute chaos, and they lived up to everything their album had to offer.
i'm not sure exactly what happened to it all... that vibe, those friendships... somehow it feels almost lost. but winter is almost over. i won't keep dwelling on the past. i won't take all the blame.
maybe the cure is just another good show.
