Everyone should check out Baby Rock Records "Rockabye Baby!" instrumental re-interpretations of modern rock artists. We have the Tool one and just got the Nine Inch Nails one today. They're super creepy (especially the Tool CD). We don't have kids. I guess that makes us creepy too.
Well, I haven't felt like that big a dork in quite a while...
...and I'm a pretty big dork.
Show was about what I expected, music wise. It was way too treble heavy though, which kind of bugged me.
One thing I didn't expect was the crowd. I guess I didn't really know what to expect, but it was the most polite, well behaved, tidy, obedient bunch of folks I've ever been around at a show. Maybe, maybe Rasputina, when they made us all sit on the floor so everyone could see, could even come close.
These actually came out really good. I attribute that to me being At. The. Stage and to the lighting being very photo-friendly, not to my camera phone which still sucks.
Hanzel und Gretyl (tonight) with Q and Bella Morte -- I'll have pictures up from this one tomorrow, I actually got some good ones on the worst camera phone in the universe.

Back to the Bank of America Pavilion for Chris Isaak this time. Another one that I would have loved to see and didn't. It felt nice to be on the relatively young end of a crowd, too.

Seeing Throwing Muses brought me straight back to the days of all the great bands I missed because I was too young to get from NH into Boston to see things. I'm so glad I can get to all the shows now, in a big way because everyone I "missed" when I was 16 or 17 is still rocking hard, albeit sometimes very differently. (see also, Pixies, Aimee Mann, etc.) Plus a new "Gem" in Bullseye, with a great Boston Lineage.
