Sorry for the lack of content of late. If you know me personally, you may be aware I've been rather distracted by matters I most certainly cannot discuss here. Nonetheless...
Pitchfork Fest Preparty looks perfect. Aziz, Eugene, Barry, Joggers, Voxtrot and Sunset Rubdown. Party starts at 9 and my flight doesn't land till 10. Rats. Hopefully I'll get there in time to hang out for a little.
I went to see Naughty By Nature on Wednesday night. It was a lot of fun. As I said in the forthcoming Gothamist review, I was a massive fan of these guys when I was younger. If you were too, I'd recommend going to check them out next time they play nearby. It's quite fun. I posted some pictures from the show up on Flickr.
Also saw Guns and Roses earlier this week too, speaking of bands I loved when I was younger. Fun, had it's moments, but was hardly blown away. The new band was more of a distraction than I thought they'd be. Axl sounded great, but he moved old. Some songs were amazing (November Rain, in particular), some were just ok. Nothing was really bad, tho. Glad I didn't miss it, but I wouldn't have paid to go a second night. No pictures, I'm afraid. Wasn't allowed in with my camera.
How I met your Mother Finale? Holy amazing. Great ending, serious emotional punch. Even more so than The Office finale, which was pretty stellar too. Bloc Party's "Modern Love" finale was the PERFECT cherry on top. Got me listening to that album again. That show just can't do wrong. I hope it continues for seasons and seasons. Here, for old time's sake. Listen to it again if it's been a while...
Bloc Party - This Modern Love (mp3)
Jeez, what else...Tonight, I hope everyone comes down to Mercury Lounge at 9:00 for Slowlands. Stick around for Land of Talk, who sounded really great on KEXP this morning. Here are a couple mp3s for both:
Slowlands - Listener's Dilemma (mp3)
Slowlands - Eisenstein (mp3)
Land of Talk - Sea Foam (mp3)
Land of Talk - Speak to me Bones (mp3)
I only started watching How I Met Your Mother recently, mostly based on your reviews, and it's exceeded my expectations. And yeah, the end of the finale was superb.

I'm completely hooked on HIMYM. And yes, they seem to use the perfect songs for certain moments. Superb first season, can't wait to see where they go with the 2nd season. The best episode this season was the Barney backstory ep. I also love the communication via telepathy stuff.
