Saw "Real Estate, Black Dice, Ducktails, Oneohtrix Point Never, The Babies and Dog Leather" at some Chinese buffet in Queens tonight.

Was just in an actual regular Chinese buffet. Like the steam tables were all in the middle of the crowd and stuff.

Whoever's rocking Uproar this year. That's who.

The Music Tapes also played this show which was surprising. I liked them, they are very weird. Their show included the automated organ-playing tower and a 7 foot tall metronome.

Jeff Mangum played most of Aeroplane and three songs from On Avery Island. He played all the songs I was hoping to hear.

Wanted to go to that but I saw Real Estate and Ducktails like 2937492374 times and seen Black Dice too. Seeing Oneohtrix Point Never next week.

Just bought tickets to The Black Keys and Arctic Monkeys on April 27th in St Louis MO. Fucking floor tickets sold out fast, so we got some 'meh' side stage tickets for $78 each. They are not amazing, but they are not upper level or back of the stadium tickets so I am like 'Yeaaaahhhhh'

Gunfight and Team Genius @ Brooklyn Bowl

Might see that chick Lights, what's the deal there

Her music is bad but I wanna have relations with her

Also saw Jenny Owen Youngs last night

and Kurt Vile for free the other night

damn, saw that you won Kurt Vile tickets via Twitter, mad jealous. Saw that like 20 mins after they posted it but it was too late. :(

How/what was that anyway, was he recording something or what was it

It was actually kinda crappy. He played for like 25 min and I don't think he recorded anything. The venue is trying really hard to look all "Brooklyn Warehouse-y" but it's just some warehouse space Converse bought and "cleaned up" but still left looking kinda dingy (but in a really clean way) with Converse ads all over the place and faux-street art trying to appeal to hipster markets.

There was free Bushmills and PBR.

Also my roommate ruined it because he was complaining that Kurt Vile sucked the whole time.

LOOK AT THIS PHOTOGRAPH

Backdrop that looks cool from afar but up close is "mad cheesy" via name dropping random street names, subway stops and neighborhoods that are "cool" painted all over it.

Deaf from Thurston Moore last night

One of the best live performances I've ever seen

Opening band, Rhyton also destroyed my ears. Really good noise rock ish

I like the first album from Lights

Mirah, Blair, Wrest and DJ Emoticon @ Glasslands Gallery tonight

Not sure if this post is meant to be serious or ironic
