Dear sinister, This past weekend, I became a bit of a groupie. Now I want to preface, this has only happened out of a sort of happy accident. I saw The Sunshine Fix and Saturday Looks Good to Me two nights in a row. The reason for this is real simple: my parents wanted me to come home and visit from College. I go to school three hours out of Chicago, so I hitched a ride home, listened to Ace of Base as I drove through the corn, and ate some Tiramisu at a belated birthday dinner. Saturday I saw the above bands. Now for those of you who don't know Saturday, you all should check em out. I saw them open for Mates of State a few years ago and was hooked. You'd all love them. The lead singer told us why at the show. He sang a song about his ex girlfriend, who used to be a part of the band. Admittenly, I was anamored with this woman. She was blond, full of spunk, wore adorable clothes and made me want drastically to be her! (Alas, I am neither blond nor cute...) This song was sad, durring an encore. He rambled on about her, no tune or nothing. Durring the long long long wavering song, he shouts out "YOU ALWAYS THOUGHT WE WERE A SECOND RATE BELLE AND SEBASTIAN!" Poor Saturday, they only have seven members and just wont be able to compete. Shoot! But you all should check 'em out. Good day, lovers!
