I have seriously wanted to see this band for ages! I cannot believe they are playing a FREE show at 5pm on a Friday in Seattle and that they're opening for fucking Los Campesinos! (whom I like loads though!) in the US, because my god, The Most Serene Republic are a trillion-fold better than Los Campesinos! and I like them more than I do Broken Social Scene. It's blasphemous. I'm super excited! Yay!

So last night I went for the Siberian album launch and it was great, I picked up another t-shirt & the new CD, talked to Finn for a bit and enjoyed myself immensely.

Anyway, I've heard about the opening band called Kay Kay and His Weathered Underground for a bit now but I've never gotten around to watching them. Yesterday I made it a point to actually get to the venue early and wait for them. And oh my god, they are superb! They have about 10 people on stage, complete with 3 violinists, 1 celloist who looks like Philip Seymour Hoffman, a trumpeteer who looks like Michael Chiklis/Lex Luthor, a keyboardist who looks like someone from Boogie Nights, a bassist who looks like Slash, a guitarist who looks like Ronnie from The Shield and the main guy who looks like Ashton Kutcher.

I actually enjoyed watching them more than Siberian (only because I've seen Siberian about 7 times) - and I'm going to try and get their new release when it comes out next month

Listen to these two songs:

Kay Kay and His Weathered Underground - Bowie The Desert Pea

Kay Kay and His Weathered Underground - Hey Momma

Oooh. The new Siberian album is pretty good. When I say pretty, it means that I detest the updated, overproduced versions of the old songs I used to really really enjoy, like 'Paper Birds' and 'Airship'. But! The rest of it is excellent. Here, have two songs and let me know what you think. There's a huge Colin-fest (guitars!) going on here, so I have a right mind to head on over to the University Manor and offer him some cookies (yes, I know where he sleeeeeeeps).

Siberian - Tightropes

Siberian - Futuristic Kids

Did I mention I watched Factory Girl a couple of days ago?

Guy Pearce makes the sexiest Andy Warhol...  and  that's saying a lot because Andy  Warhol is (was) a cunt-ish looking man.

Music update: The new Band of Horses is supremely boring.

!OK. Danners is officially my wet dream fantasy man. Paul was boring, Carlos couldn't give a fuck and Sam was lollipop-ing/smoking the whole time. But Daniel. Daniel walked, leaped, danced, straddled and made crazy orgasmic koala faces. He tilted his head back and caressed his guitar like it was Aphrodite in wooden string instrument form.

And then he gave us a little smile. Well, it could have been to anyone, but I would like to believe it was me. Hurrah. He's so fucking adorable I want to pinch his cheeks and tuck him in my pocket and do silly things to him x..Endfangirling & dignity..x

I forgot to add, that after playing 'Not Even Jail', Paul said, "THIS IS A SONG."

I mean seriously. What THE fuck... THIS IS A SONG?!

But anyway, the show was brilliant, I had a lot of fun, they closed with 3 TOTBL songs - NYC, Stella & PDA which was ace. The setlist as I remember (and probably not in order):

Pioneer To The Falls
Obstacle 1
Scale
Mammoth
Say Hello To The Angels
Evil
Take You On A Cruise
The Heinrich Maneuver
Not Even Jail
Slow Hands
Rest My Chemistry
No I In Threesome
NYC

---
Stella
PDA

No Pace Is The Trick (suck) or Length of Love (suck suck) but Daniel. Eeeee.

Here, have a photo to wank and touch yourself over:

I've never realized how much I like them until listening again and again to the new album, "Ongiara" for my concert tomorrow.

Here's one of the best songs (I think) on the new album:

Great Lake Swimmers - Catcher Son

I sort of forgot how great The Divine Comedy is. "Regeneration" is probably one of my favourite albums of all time. 

I've recently picked up rabid drinking even on weekdays - which is not good because usually I get so fucked up in the mornings that I'm out of bed only at 10am and stumble to work and remain unmotivated for the rest of the day. It's driving me insane. I've lost 6 pounds since July, mostly because I'm only eating brunch and dinner, with nothing in between. And also, my right side seems to be frequently hurting. I'm wondering if that's a sign of permanent liver damage. I'm a fucking size 1 petite now and my jeans don't even fit anymore. I'll soon be wearing clothes for midgets.

Last Saturday I had a glass of dry martini, 4 beers, 1 long island ice-tea and 1 AMF which I downed in 20 seconds flat. That made me end up on the toilet floor of Temple Billiards for 45 minutes.

I refuse to complain anymore. Because I've just realized that you could have almost everything in the world, and still be miserable. And I'm talking about you, Paul Banks.

And also, who directs these new Interpol music videos? Scott Stapp? 

OK. By some bizzare twist of fate, I think the guitarist of Siberian is my neighbour. It's very weird, it's like I'm having Daniel Kessler as my neighbour, except that maybe it might have been 10 years ago when he was in NYU and ended up being my neighbour in Manhattan or something.

But anyway. I have seen Colin almost 6 times now, just walking around with his bike. I've never had the nerve to chat him up, mostly because I don't want him seeing me carrying reams of toilet paper or groceries from Trader Joes.

And sweet Jesus, what would I say to him? I get a feeling this band is going to be huge when the new album comes out, and that I should actually make him my friend before everything becomes disasterous... I don't know. WHAT WOULD I SAY?

I'm a fucking wimp and the half, but this is bizzare... to have someone from a band that I like so very much be my neighbour - it's super strange.

I leave for Cancun in two days for about a week or so. If anyone wants a postcard, email me an address at thesoundproject [at] hotmail [dot] com.

In other news, apparently it's been raining non-stop in Cancun. I wonder.

Sweet schmoalie mother of holy god. I finally know this song that they end with at every gig. I'm so excited, new album called, "With Me" out on October 23rd.

It's so fucking good, it gives me goosebumps. They should be so much more well known.

Take a listen:

Siberian - Belgian Beer and Catholic Girls

Ok, so seriously. Everyone should download this or I'm just going to make MixCDs and send this out to EVERYONE.

And also, I think they're is my new perv-tastic band, step aside Interporn, we're welcoming Siberporn! Woot.
