A Mad and Faithful Telling

I got to see Devotchka in Philly last night. Holy crap. I'll be very lucky if I'm ever able to be a tenth of the musician every person in that band seems to be. I read a post on the Tape Op message board that said when people pay to see live music, one of the things they're secretly going for is to see and feel a group of people vibrating simultaneously and sympathetically. Whether that sounds New Age-y to you or not, that was definitely the case last night. They were super tight. I don't get to go to shows as often as I'd like, so I'm doubly glad I got to go to that one.

Even better than the show, though, my two old and dear friends, Joe and Ann, made the trip down from Brooklyn to hang out and go to the show with Alex and I. Best weekend ever!

Speaking of Brooklyn, I'm also very excited because our first show for summer tour just got confirmed in Brooklyn. More details soon...
