COS I'VE GOT WHEELS AND YOU WANT TO GO FOR A RIDE

audio: "every good girl." curve.

i haven't got much to say today. 'cept i forgot that Doves were playing here last night. ;.; it's not a BIG loss...i mean, i probably wouldn't have gone anyway. i don't generally like to go to weeknight shows anymore since i live so bloody far away from everything now. had it been tonight or something, i probably would've gone to check it out...but unless it were oh, say, Laika, chances are good i wouldn't go out of my way to do it on a weeknight. (if it was Laika, i'd take time off if i had to. XD i <3 them muchly, if i hadn't made that clear. and am such an idiot for not doing exactly that last time they played here, which was a few years ago and on a Sunday night...but at THE EMPTY BOTTLE...would've been BRILLIANT to see them there... ;.; )

Shannon wrote a brilliant post up about the recent garage revival. and while i have to say that i'm in the "overhype" boat, i also qualify that by saying that i tend to think MOST things are either terribly overhyped or terribly underhyped...there's never really any happy medium. and it doesn't mean i think they're bad. on the contrary, though i'm not nearly as fond of it as a lot of people i know are, i do think it's a breath of fresh air and something that NEEDS to take place. upheaval, even if it's slightly retro in nature...it needs to happen. and i'd certainly agree that it is indeed the spirit of rock n' roll, much moreso than most of the other shite pumped out over the airwaves these days that sounds exactly like it was put together by a committee in a boardroom somewhere after consulting various market research groups to find out what their chosen demographic is hot for this week. >P so while it's not really moving me much, it's still quite welcome in that respect.

so, er, go read what she has to say, if you haven't already. ^.-
