Kind of an ecclectic week… a lot of solo artists for some reason. Anyways, I’ve also got the Ted Leo demos (aka The Homsars, I love it) and the Spoon demo in there.
The Decemberists totally kicked ass and I think my rents were really into it, what a blast. Plus my old buddy from school Marc Pestien was in town for the weekend and I got to hang with him, so that was very cool.
Also, I caught Fahrenheit 9/11 yesterday. I actually dislike Michael Moore most of the time (even though I agree with most of his viewpoints) because I think he does more harm than good by painting liberals as wingnuts, and more importantly because he often plays with numbers, which really bothers me. That said, this movie was fantastic, and it’s about damn time. As one-sided and blatantly opinionated as it is, it raises some great points that people need to hear. I hate to stoop to their level, but maybe it’s time that there is some inverse propaganda on the air to counter Fox News.
