MGMT - Paradise

Kids
Sadly no shots of the bra wearing











The show was pretty good ( band wise). The crowd on the other hand, was somewhat disagreeable.
I'm off to , hopefully, purchase Cut/Copy and Wombats tickets. I'll be amazed if it works out, wish me luck.
I'll post good shows coming up in the next few months in Boston ( and probably nyc), a little later.
MGMT and The Ting Tings are playing a free show in Brooklyn ( McCarren Pool) on Sunday. It would be a true miracle if some how i got there.


later gators,

Gewd

Santogold and Diplo just released a mixtape and I have to say I'm a fan.
They reworked The Clash's "Guns of Brixton" into the newfangled " Guns of Brooklyn", needless to say, I've been listening to it nonstop basically.


Listen for yourself,
"Guns of Brooklyn"


I'm going to see MGMT tonight, so maybe a picture post tomorrow?

over and out,

Whoa, Programming Council Does Stuff?

Programming Council (aka waste of time, space, money, and energy) at the fine institution known as Boston University, has actually done something useful. Girl Talk is playing on September 20th, huzzah! Hopefully it actually happens. I have high hopes since Programming Council announced it ( not like the Talib Kweli debacle). I just hope the fine Council can continue on its path to gloriousness ( let's not get 36 Mafia and Cobra Starship again, alright?).
As for other dreams I have for the Boston Area, what is with all this tour hate? In a new occurring and lethal trend, more and more bands have been skipping Boston on their tours. Current example: Cut Copy ( with the Presets). Its commonly becoming the trend to play nyc and philly then go directly to Europe. I know gas is expensive, but please I'm dying. Let's kill this trend okay?

I hope Animal Collective comes to Boston soon. I think Panda Bear harbors some hate though against his old institution. Then again, I think about dropping out of BU all the time , so he just got out lucky.


update--> yay! trend dying, tickets for cut copy with the presets are on sale Friday 7/25 for their show at Paradise.

- sincerely,
pippi

je suis crazy

hello lovelies,

so today has been pretty okay thus far. i worked from 830am-1230pm, which is hard when you go to bed at 330am the night before watching the mighty ducks 3 on tbs. i have work from 6am-10am on thursday. life is rough.

i applied as a transfer to a dreamy university and got my acceptance letter just today! it was exciting, but it bummed my dad out a little bit. but i like, totally get his bumming out. don't think poorly of him--he's just a complex man.

however, i just freaked out at my brother and although i think he deserved it, i feel bad. i'm honestly the only person i know who is SO moody and then completely deluged with guilt. it's a problem.

i have to go do the dishes, but please make sure to wear sunscreen when you go out. even if it's cloudly, the harmful rays come through and can cause premature aging. it's serious.

with great anticipation for a veggie burger for supper/dinner/evening meal,
uncle wiggily
