So, last night I saw my current favourite group perform at a nice venue here in the city.
Their name is Animal Collective. I'm sure some of you know who they are; I'm sure some of you do not.
Anyway, they played an amazing show... a good blend of new and old and live-only songs on the set list. I thoroughly enjoyed myself even though I went alone ('twas something of a birthday present for myself). I knew I would though. I don't often find other people who know and love Animal Collective, so I was super excited to meet just about everyone I bumped (or danced) into.
This couple behind me were really getting into it, and I definitely fed off of their vibe. See, I'm usually a bit of a wallflower, but I was so excited for this show that I had no problem getting into the groove and dancing as if I were alone in my kitchen (I dance when I make breakfast). Anyway, they invited me for tea afterwards... I should have gone... but I had to catch the metro before it closed.
I also met an adorable hipster girl with a unisex name from North Carolina before the show. We had a good conversation about music, Montreal, and my opinions on people, and her opinions on art, and both of our opinions on high fructose corn syrup. We danced and eventually went our separate ways, but we exchanged numbers, so maybe we'll go to the tams together this Sunday.
Anyway, those were some of the major highlights. Oh, and I got a free beer. That was nice. Only "lowlight": I still don't have my full hearing capacity in my right ear back. Ech.
So, I'm sure some of you have some good show-stories to tell? Or, what shows have been your favourite? What shows are you looking forward to?
I'm looking forward to Miracle Fortress (playing tonight), Girl Talk and Dan Deacon (in a week), and Kid Koala (in a week and a half).
