Last night I saw Unsane at Growlers with Jacques. I went and picked him up. That David dude we met at the festival was also there. We talked a bit. Turns out him and Jacques skirted the same goth social circles way back in the day. There was a local opening band that we missed but we got there just in time for Fashion Week to start. They were really good. Really loud and heavy. Unsane was really good, of course. They played the "hits" you'd've expected 'em too. They also had some new stuff and, man, it was really damn good. I could see a band like them easily getting same-y but they manage to keep their sound without falling into a rut. And this one new song that's on some single is maybe their best song. It was fucking awesome. Great use of feedback. All in all, a loud-as-fuck, heavy, awesome show. I got a bit of merch. T-shirts for both bands (the better Unsane shirt they didn't have in my size so I get the less good one that's yet still an Unsane shirt). I also got Fashion Week's two cds: Prêt-à-Porter and So Last Season. I got a few compliments on my DNA shirt (including from the dudes in Fashion Week, so I can hang with the NYC hipsters).

There was this lunch meeting at work today but they forgot the lunch! What's up with that!? Well, I just took a late lunch after that and went and picked up some Five Guys (Mary Beth had whetted my thirst (I know it's a mixed metaphor!) when she got some yesterday and shared half a hamburger with me). Also, the new Sonosphere podcast came out today and it's the episode all about Memphis Concrète! So that's pretty exciting. I listened at work and it's really good. Everyone says awesome stuff and it's well put-together. The only negative is that I say some stuff that comes out in incoherent bursts here and there. Oh well. It's mostly a wonderful thing to listen back on.
