Concerts and stuff

Went to the Palm Reader show tonight.

It was shaping up to be a good'un.

Adam and Rob played acoustic sets. Rob's was three songs long and included a Robert Johnson cover, except turned into an ovaltine commercial. Adam's was longer, and really good. Only played one song off the Drip Drip Drop CD, but the others were all cool, too.

A band called Amo Joy from Indianapolis played. They were impossibly twee and fun as hell.

Palm Reader remembered to bring the 4-track, and actually started recording.

They got a few minutes of good-ass jam in.

Doug Martsch came out to see them.

And the fucking neighbor came over to complain and the whole thing got shut down. Lame.

Got nice and drunk with Robbie and Cade after the show. That was nice. Made some nice sounding plans for future parties. Stuck around, sobering up, 'til about 4 AM and gave Cade a ride home. I introduced him to Spiritualized, Yo La Tengo, and Times New Viking. I have no idea whether he was sober enough to remember any of them. Keep in mind that this guy used to be a Mormon. Guess he just understands how much more fun corruption is.

Got some nice sounding plans for tomorrow.

Got some good plans for this month. Totalitarian family face-melting, etc.

Sorry to The Heavenly States for missing your show.

Maybe next time, assuming your turnout was better than Tyler's house's, and there is a next time.

...Who Calls So Loud (ex-Portraits of Past/Funeral Diner) May 17^th (thanks to IllicitBeef for the heads-up on that).

Casiotone For the Painfully Alone May 30^th.

Totalitarian Family (Palm Reader/Mystick Crystal Revelations) June 16^th (we're playing that!) at Tyler's house, and maybe at Baby Sale house June 13^th (Palm Reader alone might be playing that, not us).

I think it's awesome that there even is a house called Baby Sale.
