I just stumbled upon a couple youtube videos of shows that I didn’t go to but thought about going to. I mean, I’m only human, and none too young these days. I’m feeling a tad defensive about missing so much great music but whatever.
Here’s a nice video of the Books from a couple days ago. It sounds nice, maybe I should have tried to go:
Here’s one (from the same youtube contributor) for Battles a while ago at the Black Cat. Also sounds pretty good, but I think maybe I am getting tired of this kind of music. I sense that I am getting more in the mood for pretty music and also more straightforward metal. You know, like Air Miami and then Slayer. Or something. Anyway here is Battles:
Oh and while I am raiding this dude’s videos, here is one for Xiu Xiu, though this is from Baltimore (I was thinking of going to see them at the Rock and Roll Hotel):
<irony> It’s almost like you don’t have to go to the shows at all anymore, you can just sit around and watch youtube. </irony>
i went to see XIU XIU at Ottobar because it is oh so much better of a venue than rock n’ roll hotel. and XIU XIU is a class act. (note the crappy dirty projectors video on my page – this one was a shame because they are so good live). annyway , thanks for looking at my videos, i know they suck, but lately i feel obligated to capture a little bit of every show i go to… coming soon (this weekend): TV on the Radio and Todd Reynolds
