The Bravery – La Maroquinerie – Paris 26, June 2008

Saw the Bravery last night – it was a really great show. Surprised by how many people were in the concert hall as whenever we mention the Bravery to our friends they respond “Who?” – we’ve got more video and will post later.

In the comments to be aired Tuesday, Dobson said Obama should not be referencing antiquated dietary codes and passages from the Old Testament that are no longer relevant to the teachings of the New Testament. and yet the very basis of all the anti-gay marriage crap coming out of the mouths of these backward bible thumpers is that gays are condemned because of Old Testiment tracts – personally anybody who would allow their lives to be moved, ruled, mapped out by the lunatic babblings of homeless wandering nomads from a desert over 2000 years old needs to have their heads examined, their children removed from their homes, their guns removed from their fists and they should be put in the mental wards that Ronald Reagan cleared out so long ago. Please go back to your hair shirts, your caves and your wives and shut the fuck up.

Coachella day two

Got onto the road same time as the day before – but the car line to get in was slow moving so we missed to the two early shows we wanted to view. CarbonSilicon. But the security lines were short – no searching of under hats, bags were not inspected. 120 Days were a very exciting group – the set though seemed a bit short – but we both really enjoyed and are looking forward to seeing them again. Bonde do Role I had heard before on one of our complilation cds from inRadio now Ecolocations. Bonde do Role were a great treat – exciting and really had the crowd in the tent jumping around – lots of smoke filtering through the group – . Stepped over to hear MGMT but didn’t really hear anything we thought worth staying for. We then made our way over to listen to Café Tacuba as the LA Times had claimed they were very good to listen to. We sat in the beer garden and listened – it was very load and we just sat there listening to all of the noise, Dwight Yoakam and Café Tacuba trading barbs for our right and left ear, while the chill dance tent in the middle of grounds was competing for some of our attention. Once the Café were done we made it over to stand and wait through the set of the whining Death Cab for Cutie set – boy the Seattle boys certainly whined alot about the desert, LA and shit – it wasn’t that thrilling of a set. Kraftwerk was a great blast from the past – and an exciting beginning of what was a very long evening. They played Tour d’ France and that was really great as Mr. D and I bought that extended playing lp when we first met – also alot of older songs which we both really enjoyed. We left the area for Portishead audience coming in droves once Kraftwerk was finished. It was a long dreary set – where were we when they were very popular – what were listening too. couldn’t fathom how we had missed this teutonic drone. We decided after half the set was done to try to get into the mix for the Prince appearance. We thought oh my god we aren’t going to get close but we slowly snaked our way down to about 100 ft from the front stage. It took forever for Prince to come out but I have to admit it was well worth it. We finally got home about 3 am that night and just felt we didn’t want to see Rodger Waters and we know that even though we were going to miss Dimitri of Paris we would have to forego the day and get some rest. We’ve got some up and coming events we are really looking forward to. Bruce Springsteen, Radiohead, Joseph Arthur, Bloc Party, Eddie Izzard, Madonna – sounds pretty exciting and it is spread out over sometime so that will make it easier to accomodate.
