LCD SOUNDSYSTEM STILL ROCKS...
HASN'T CHANGED MUCH IN TWO YEARS
I was there and all, at the first LCD show at bowery a few years ago. They sounded just as good but, really, it feels over now. The song list was almost exactly the same two years later. The DJ manning things between bands seemed more relevant. James Murphy sort of said the same thing from the stage. The music is still good but clearly his energy and the energy on the street is elsewhere. One look at the shit crowd of spring douches and ingenue yentas said it all. Two meathead guys in the audience got all rowdily offended and flicked him off. And that brings up another point...which I removed.
I love nyc. I love the blue collar dudes who crack the best jokes, the af-am dudes who live in the shittiest shitholes of the city and yet set the tone for cutting edge style in everything all over the world, the carribean dudes with the cool accents where I can't understand a word they're saying, the african dudes with the kooftie hats or whatever the fuck that is, the puerto rican dudes who don't use their baseball fields for 25 years and then get mad when the mexican dudes move in and want to play soccer there, the dominicans who gave me really good bacalao when I worked at 168th, the chinese dudes in chinatown who are 2rd gen and still don't speak english because they don't have to and know it's just a matter of time before we have to learn mandarin too, the south-am dudes from countries I barely ever think about but now wanna visit, and of course, midwesterners who are the weirdest, freakiest, best people on earth. But I hate dicks. Jerkoff guys who come to concerts to yell dumbass shit and make their girlfriends cry (that happened right in front of me at LCD too) spare us your public persona. If I want that I'll tune into Real World vs. Road Rules #18: The Effervescent Shitstorm.

Just so everyone knows I'm just kidding around. I'm not actually bitter. Just being silly. I'm sure there were a bunch of dudes who were pissed when my friends and I moved to new york with our stupid thrift store clothes etc.

It's a type of std that irritates dickheads.

Alright this has gone on long enough. I got 5 emails today from NYU girls with much meaner things to say than me. But it makes me realize I don't care and they do so I don't want to be included. Plus I hurt someone's feelings earlier this year by accident so I'm weary of doing that sort of thing again. One hot sounding girl with a serious boyfriend gets cold called a lot by these guys with the "trying too hard" shoes but she says the pampered princess girls are all over them. So good for these guys. Glad to hear I'm out of the loop and since they're all over my neighborhood, I'll have to learn to like them. I just wish they would switch from coke to klonapin and not get piss drunk or nearly beat up their girlfriends in front of me at shows. It's not very cool, it's dumb. It was stupid of me to take it out on NYU, it's a big place. I'm just tired of the cookie-cutter douchebags I haven't had to interact with since college. Anyway, I'm taking this down because I don't give a shit and the comments are funnier than what I wrote.
