Tonight I went to a mexican restaurant, had tacos and drinks, and then headed to scenic East Atlanta to attend a show at The Earl. Entrance, whom I had seen opening for The Yeah Yeah Yeahs about a year ago, was opening for Travis Morrison of the late, great Dismemberment Plan.
Entrance was fucking incredible for three songs. He broke a string on the second song and sang the third with only percussion accompanying him, and afterwards he announced that he was too lazy to change strings and that his set was over. That sucked; Entrance, for those not in the know, is an indie-looking guy who plays blues slide guitar and sings like Hank Williams. The fact that he played only three songs was a crime.
Next up was Travis Morrisson. Now, I fucking love The Dismemberment Plan so I was all ready to be critical as hell, but his new band was actually pretty cool. They were a rythmic indie-synth-pop band, and they had a few songs that were absolutely killer.
Oh, and I just finally aquired the electric version of "Sink Florida Sink." Aaaaahhh yeah. I also now have three different versions of "Pints Of Guinness Make You Strong," which is beyond awesome as that is probably one of the greatest ballads ever written. I'm such a completist, it's disgusting.

The light hadn't changed yet, so I leaned out the window, looked around, and said "Dude, you already went through the effort to follow me. Why not just go all the way and try to scare the shit out of me. That was fucking weak."
I was in high school then, so I believe I could have done a lot better than that now.
