Go to the Crocodile Tomorrow
I was wrong in this post, but I was so right on in this post and this piece in The Stranger. Although, I’m going to take back this comment:
He writhes onstage and whips the mic cord around like the spurious product of a Johnny Whitney/Mick Jagger/Steve Snere ménage à trois.
Behrens owns the stage like no other. I can’t even begin to equivocate his performance.
Seriously (and I usually try to refrain from passing judgement on musical taste) , if you don’t get your tickets to the Croc tomorrow, you’re fucking dumb.

Damnit, you're right. I think it even went to press like that.
At least the internet can be edited...
Unrelated to post: Any chance you guys will have a review up of the last Sleater-Kinney shows from this weekend? Don't tell me I'm going to have to settle for the P-I...
The lovely Ms. Hannah Levin should have something up today.
You should go the Croc tonight, but go for the infinitely more subtle and impressive Sleepy Eyes of Death (that is, go early). I saw GO yesterday at the BBQ, and they were pretty good at first, but dude's yelling started to wear on me after a few songs.
Ghostland Observatory killed it. The Emergency did their best, but way too much between song banter and self-hype (less talk more rock). Long Winters have the single, sexually-frustrated, 30-something, female-that listens-to-KEXP crowd nailed to the floor.
as soon as john started raving about ghostland, i checked out their myspace.
why are people getting so worked up over hot hot heat with a drum machine?
Guess you had to see the show live to get it.
Oh, and about 8 free beers helps too.

..the rapture?
don't get me wrong, i'm a fan (of all the above) and had a great time at the croc' on monday. i just think it's funny that people are so quick to make such asinine comparisons, usually of a genre they know little to nothing about. last night, a friend compared the french kicks to interpol, strictly because he knew they were from NY and dancey..
I like the fact that Ghostland's only objective at their show seemed to be to get people to move and let lose for a while. Plus I recently bought their cd, and it's pretty solid all the way through. One of the few cd's that I can let play through.
