i live in a new construction home

Yesterday, I went to see Dirty Projectors play to a sold out show at the Troubadour. I've seen them a few times before in the past, and I have not yet been disappointed. They're just a fantastic live band, whether it's Dave Longstreth with a rotating group of musicians, or the quintet we see today.

What's Up, from Portland, opened and they were also pretty good. They sound like a less-heavy version of Giraffes? Giraffes! (I tried to avoid the term "math rock" and this is what it leads me to).

So, while milling around the merch booth after the show, I happened to see Alia Shawkat (Maebe from "Arrested Development"--MARRY ME!) and Adam Goldberg (who looked like he did in "2 Days in Paris"). One of my friends swore this dude in a bucket hat was Avey Tare (of Animal Collective), who looked a lot different from what I remembered. Not that I have a mind-storage of Avey Tare images.

Anyway, here is an official video Dirty P's did for "Stillness is the Move." This song freaking blows my mind every time. Check out the ladies' jumpsuits! Also, doesn't Dave Longstreth look like a convincing llama herder?


They sold $5 tote bags. I promised myself I wouldn't buy any more tote bags because I seriously have a problem. BUT THEY WERE $5--WHAT COULD I HAVE DONE? NOT BUY ONE???
