Thu 17 Jan – Purity Ring, Young Magic

Blah blah soundcheck/mixing blah blah energy blah sickness blah crowd blah blah

Plus there were WAY too many high schoolers. Definitely the high schoolest show I've ever been to. Made me reevaluate my tastes, man.

Did enjoy their Soulja Boy cover.

And I did get to touch Megan despite her crowd aversion.

YAY

Sat 11 Feb – Georgia Theater

…not what I hoped it'd be.

I can't believe I'm about to type this, but I think I prefer canned MMW to the live version.

Recordings seem to be the only place that "Where's Sly?" lives on, which is one of the largest reasons I like MMW.

The three tore it up, especially Wood, as usual. What a champ! But for some reason I wasn't able to join them on their improvisational trips. It was kind of heartbreaking, being at a sort-of-rare show for a band I grew up on but not really clicking…
