Sinister: $40 down the drain
Uh, hi, I don't really ever post here, as I don't usually think I have all that much to say. But today is a different day. Have you ever felt totally ripped off? I think I was ripped off last night. And yes there is a tad bit of B&S in here. A tad. Last night I went to the John Anson Ford Ampitheatre in Universal City (right next to Los Angeles) to see Modest Mouse. Mind you, I live in Huntington Beach which is an almost TWO HOUR drive when you decide to leave your house at 6pm on a week night and drive up to LA. Almost TWO HOURS in traffic all the way up the 110 Fwy to the equally, if not more, congested 101 Hollywood Freeway. So, we get there and there's this opening band on -- he, terrible voice; she -- beautiful angelic voice. I wish I could remember the band's name. Anyway, my boyfriend says they sound like Belle and Sebastian. I say, "in reverse". There. There's your tad bit of B&S. ANYWAY -- the two opening bands play for about and hour, combined. Then Modest Mouse comes on. They play for 45 MINUTES!!!!! That's it. FORTY FIVE FARGING MINUTES!!! We spent THREE TIMES as long ON THE FARGING FREEWAY than we did listening to Modest Mouse! Isaac Brock (singer) apologized for the short set and said to save our tickets, they might have a free show sometime to make up for this. He kept saying, "Welcome to Modest Mouse Prison Camp". Evidentally, the JAF Theater is a complete joke. Grrrr, I'm still so terribly irritated. The worst of it is, Travis was playing right near by at the Universal Ampitheater (which, by the way, isn't an ampitheater anymore). I could have seen them instead. On another Radiohead note -- they sold out the Greek Theater here in LA in just a few short minutes. Their only US date, so they say. Now the Greek, that's an ampitheater. I wish someone would get their *h** together around here when they start naming venues. Is it an ampitheater OR NOT?!?!? Time to go to work. *Colleen* +----------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the undead Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.

crap, i hope there really is a free show and i wish i read my mail today, i would have been warned by you at least, i only went tonight and lets just say the same thing happened tonight. sucky. there was a slight protest to the whole goings on, words were flying, everyone could tell that isaac was pissed about the camp guards, he even went off madly at a security guard mid third song to give back someones camera saying "what is it going to blind the performers?!" which everyone cheered for. it was quite hectic, a guy in a bunny suit jumped the stage as did another in a tiger suit, cute please. but yeah, sucky, they show at the el rey was a lot cooler, no seats in the way and none of the anal security. aparently mouse had to stop because of "curfew"... curfew my ass, it's friday night, no one is home! but anyways, yeah, no encore, whats this crap. and he annouces (again) "welcome to the modest mouse prison camp..." sucky. well at least the delgados and badly drawn boy play soon.... we'll have to wait for more drunken disco shit.
