How Many Calories Are In One Small Shrimp

FUCK SATURDAY, MONDAY, TUESDAY


After headbangĂ©e © in the mud at the Route du Rock 2010 I decided to put the cover last Thursday night at The Machine to try once again to rock without grant of these little ones Liars.

Fashion seems to double in the first part that time, which does not prevent me to miss, as is my custom, the first part first, though curious about Team Ghost on stage (aka Nicolas Fromageau, former member of the duo M83). After the reunion

with Tsugi crew, we're going, beer in hand, lend an ear to John Wiese , then the second part first. For fans of experimental noisy it is undoubtedly a paradise, in mode I deconstruct the music to show the structure of the latter, but for others it is still too early for this kind of trip. So we go back to smoke a cigarette, pondering the dealer of this gentleman.


At 22:30 the dot (a rarity in Machine , hence the accuracy) of the trio Liars the scene. First surprise they are five, preppy styles for all, apart Apart longiline Angus Andrew who plays the style No: tshirt inform, unshaven and hair plastered to his face. Upon entering, you feel the electricity installed in the room, as if their mere presence gave us already we want to jiggle. No need to wait a long time already since the first guitar riffs echo in the room and immediately we can only be caught by that power. It appeals to our basic instincts, our taste for a sound dirty but oh so worked. One begins to sweat full face (metaphorically ) and we like that. The pieces are linked together without gossip, Liars are among those groups that do not need to talk to feel at one with his audience and vice versa, for the reasons cited above. Alternating pieces to calm frenzied songs can see how his master Liars ranges from one to another with the same energy, keeping the audience spellbound, staring at Angus and his dance disjointed puppet. We will ask for more by three times and our prayers will not be disappointed, however, since even have even the right to a new. A real lesson.

Late Thank You Interview Email

THE PLAN WAS TO DRINK OVER UNTIL THE PAIN, BUT WHAT'S THE PAIN WORSE OR THE HANGOVER?


After a summer of festivals, I had a little trouble getting back into the swing of polished concert halls in Paris. This could have lasted longer if I had not seen the name of Magic Kids illuminated my newsfeed . So I put away my winter laziness in the closet for the evening and I am equipped for cold weather and the crowd.

Branch is one of my favorite rooms: the Ephemeral Point. I do not know if it's thanks to canal Saint Martin (one of my favorite places in Paris) or whether the mixture of calm (water) associated with excitement (the world to surrounding the canal and the sirens of fire trucks from the nearby barracks) that creates a place for virtually timeless, but still it is that I am always happy to go there.

Tonight, the first part is provided by five Norman, the Da Brasilians . Technically this is the second after Top Top , but I could not attend the concert because of these crisis-hypoglycemia include dinner. French quintet, singing in English, gives us a pop ranging from the 60s and 70s. The sound is clear, harmony chorus is not odd, no false notes in all. And yet it is still a bit neat, like the young singer of polo, to transport me altogether. A nice first part, however, I will see them when they have taken a little bottle.

After long minutes of adjustments, Magic Kids settle on stage. For those who do not know, Magic Kids is one of many groups beachboyenne trend this summer, which was spoken of him through tubes "Hey Boy " and " Superball '. Then, again in late summer with Memphis album, borrowing the 60's: pop rock surfisante same, even naive in the lyrics, same music uninhibited, with no other aim than you think you can dance.

So to find this summer atmosphere that I deigned to leave my comforter and the heat of my den that night. If on the album, all songs are mastered to perfection, adding to the simplicity of the thing (in a good sense) - on stage is a sense of muddle that dominates. The singer's voice gets lost behind the guitars, not to mention the uselessness of the beautiful violinist, we want to silence when she starts to open his mouth. Add to that, this beanpole of Foster Bennet (aka the singer) who plays the Sue Ellen heat: vazy I make you my eyes of the love that kills and vazy I descend into the mob rub me the groupie ... It should go in the game or at least laugh, but not even. Mick Jagger is not who wants to pack and level the small Benet not playing in the same court. It's overplayed, cliche , agreed, ultimately I preferred the nice boys Da Brasilians , they at least they do not force the line. It's finally on the point that Magic Kids fared best, highlighting the simple complicity between them, can not finally asked it.

Sorority Initiation Week

ERASE ME HIS ARROGANCE IS ALMOST


100 years after I excited for the concert of Interpol, this is the second part, "as expected", that of U2. Let's be clear, causing it made me laugh anyway gently to go to this concert was puique to the eye and then my soul emotions sociologist wanted to try to unravel the mystery U2. Trying to understand how this band of politically engaged Irish (Belated?) Arrives to fill the Stade de France for the second time, at that. As one might expect this concert did not give me the answers I have fun nonetheless expected to develop some type of fan, the evidence of four.

First, the U2 fan was not born the last rain (meaning it has more than forty years), his hearing was so altered over the years hence, perhaps, that can endure without a word, 1h30 from the same song.

Secondo, though the average age of the public is relatively high is also due to ticket price: € over 100 if I remember are good. And not content to spend that much money to see a bunch of fake rockers, the group said the fan, can not help but share his passion with his family, which explains the presence of many darlings. Rock and roll is something that is passed from father to son, have you seen?

Third, the U2 fan likes to show his devotion to his guru, aka Bono's father. To do so, he'll raid the merch 'and rush to fly the T-Shirt Tour 360, the story that we understand, us poor infidels, he is proud to participate in this great mass. This, incidentally, was eventually persuaded that it would print the article on " wearing T-shirt in the middle musico-social" in pamphlet at the entrance of concerts, for all our sakes.

Fourth, our dear fan is in the image of his guru, politically committed (belated?). Bono also when we preach the good word about Aung San Suu Kyi, Burma's imprisoned, he feels concerned of course, reaching out to the light waving nicks Vestal, larmichette at the corner of his eye. Although the palm of ridicule, back to the cover of "Get Up, Stand Up" by Bob Marley. Nah but seriously? Missing was that we roll a joint on stage at the same time for either the cake.


Might as my short-gossip has its limits, but ultimately this concert gave me most want to attend a game at the Stade de France, knowing my passion for football, it means everything.
