...and her voice is a backwards record, it's like a whirlpool and it never ends...

last night we went to see they might be giants at the beacon theater and everytime we see they might be giants i just feel the urge to blog because it freaks me out that i first saw them when i was 15 years old which was almost 15 years ago. ew. we were the worst tmbg fans there because we didn't listen to the new album yet. and they played two sets but they were really obscure songs. and while they played ana ng and purple toupee, they didn't play any of my other favorite songs. and we were up high high in a balcony seat where we couldn't really see and i didn't really feel like bopping and dancing around because diagnally to us were these absolutely awful girls dancing with no rhythm whatsoever. and i'm going to be honest. they totally ruined the show for me. because they were just kind of bopping up and down awkwardly, and once in awhile pretending to play the trumpet or something. so fucking awkward. i had to look away. but it was like a car crash. i thought for sure that they would fall off the balcony, as they were in the front balcony row. but they didn't.
anyway.
they played "the alphabet of nations" for some reason which is off their ...here come the abcs dvd/cd, which is juliet's jam. so i call her, and she listens. then i call her during intermission, she goes "are you at they might be giants? why didn't you take me? that's rude!" i nearly pissed my pants. because she went to see tmbg when she was younger (5th row, much freaking better!) she also said "you better buy me a t-shirt!" i love it!!!
so yea. that's that.
tonight is the superbowl. as i hate football, i am trying to convince my sister to watch "american psycho" with me in my room. but she wants to watch the commercials.
superbowl will forever remind me of the weekend that echo station was recording and jen, keeley, kristen and i went out the night before to that crazy place "the beechmont" where jen did karaeoke to "patience" and then i puked in her car (still so sorry about the grossness of that!) and then the 4 of us met them in the studio and recorded back up vocals for that song! you know, "hey! hey!"

so so many years have past and it makes me so very sad.
