The Ghost Light
I went to the Franz Ferdinand / Death Cab show in Portland tonight. It was mostly uninspired and heartless. I'm not sure that all bands lose track of their audience when they reach venues of this size, but it is a bit unfortunate. Both of these bands have a handful or two of decent songs and should be able to give it a bit more to a crowd of 10,000 or so. Maybe I'm just feeling old at 26.....
It made me feel like this...
grim
a bit like portland at times..
as ususal, it was nicer indoors..
It made me cherish my time in LA just a bit more. Here Ally illustrates why he has a difficult time shopping for sunglasses.

Not to butter up your buns but it's not the bands that make the shows suck but the crew in charge of putting on a show that make it suck. Par exampla your band du jour is as exciting as a pillow fight umongst narcoleptics but the show was still fucken great. Why? The light and the video stills, whether you like it or not you my friend are an artist when it comes down to that. Anouther example: I fucken love the faint so i go see them live and its a yawner, shitty light show. Stage presence is a must as well but if the band has none all the more reason to get a great LD and pyro or some shit. So in conclusion it's not about being 26 or 27 but about making it an experiance, btw out door festivals blow unless its GWAR.
agreed. and thanks, my furry friend
