we’ve got confetti everywhere!!!
jer and i went to the flaming lips show last night at the palladium. openers were the starlight mints and liz phair. we missed the starlight mints, but liz phair (whom i was pretty excited to see) was pretty darned cool. i have to say though, her new stuff with The Matrix (Avril Lavigne’s producers) is radically different from her old stuff. The song of hers radio stations are playing, “Why Can’t I,” has a part that really reminds me of “Complicated,” and as a whole reminds of of “Complicated”s annoying repetitiveness. I like the other lead off single from her album (song: “Extraordinary,” album: “Liz Phair”) much better.
The Flaming Lips, as expected, were gloriously quirky. they threw confetti at the crowd, featured audience members in animal costumes and the like dancing on stage, and bounced big giant ballons through the audience. hehe, it was like a birthday party! They even led the crowd in singing “happy birthday” to a few birthday folks in the audience. pretty sweet.
So anyway, jer and i were covered in confetti cuz we were so close to the stage. We left some of it in the car, at Denny’s, and a ton all over our apartment. :)
i’ll post pictures up from the show soon, as soon as i have my computer back up. (I’m on jer’s right now… my video card died.)
Sounds like fun!
Your video card died?? Sounds like you just have bad luck with computers! o_O
FWIW I got back a Deskstar 180GXP to replace my failed 60GXP.
hey pearl! funny thing… suzanne and i were walking around san francisco recently and we saw a group of people waiting in line for The Flaming Lips. unfortunately, we did not have tickets, but we decided to start our own group: The Flaming Hips. this way, people looking for last-minute tickets will mistakenly pay us oodles of money and we will be one step closer to taking over the world! mwahahahahaha~!!!!
