Los Campesinos! -- WE ARE BEAUTIFUL, WE ARE DOOMED

[If you shout...]

Are you gonna be able to catch them, Laz? Hellz yeah, if so. Enjoy it. Last chance to take it all in before the ship goes down.

 

[If you shout...]

And then there's this:

Kris Jensen Memorial Fund ? LC!

Good kids, these.

 

[impy13]

Oh right. About the tour in January. They have to hit ten major markets, which will include obvious choices like NYC, Chicago, and LA. Austin will be there too, if Gareth is to be believed. So we'll all be happy.

 

[If you shout...]

Very, very nice. I will pray for a Milwaukee show, too, just cuz.

 

[phillyfan26]

They'd better play Philly before I head back up to PSU.

 

[If you shout...]

Sounds interesting:

TURNSTILE, BENTO BOX #2. ? LC!

Aleks's last song:

YouTube - Los Campesinos! Street Scene - Sweet Dreams, Sweet Cheeks Ending

 

[lazarus]

Ok, things got a little dusty here at the laz household near the end.

Was it really a good idea to wear that short of a skirt at a daytime concert in a douchebag depot like San Diego?

Maybe I should have driven down for this...

 

[If you shout...]

I think it was the best idea anybody's had in quite some time.

 

[phillyfan26]

The attempt to lift her up was awkward.

 

[lazarus]

Also, at my show, after they announced they were donating all merch sales to that Memorial Fund, I rushed over to the table and picked up the powder blue t-shirt. It's the first concert souvenir I've bought since Shuttlecock in '02 (not including the SFA shirt my friend bought me for taking her to the show).

 

[No spoken words]

The whole thing was awkward, sadly. Sounded like shit, etc. Too bad.

 

[lazarus]

Also, is Aleks not playing the upcoming UK shows?

I should be paying more attention to their website, as I would have read the post where they talk about a plan to hit Amoeba Records later in the day. FUCK!! That would have been an EASY pickup.

Somebody spank me.

 

[No spoken words]

You still need to change that avatar.

I got two people at work to become Los Camp fans the past month....I'm pleased.

I have a few NASH converts, too.

Don't even ask me how many people I got to watch and love The Wire. Well, don't ask me in here cos it would be OFF TOPIC!!!!

I listened to Elbow all day at work today, FYI.

Well done, old chap!

But Wednesday's not for drinking to the seldom seen kid.

 

[lazarus]

Well done, old chap!

Whatever, I'm now trying to get my newly-converted THE CAMP! fan into Johnny Foreigner, a.k.a. THE JOFE!

 

[If you shout...]

Do you keep up with them, laz? Lots of activity, over the course of the last few months. I didn't really like everything that I heard, but they're ramping things up for a new album, over the next couple of months. I really hope that it's as good as I want it to be. The mileage I've managed to get out of Waited Up kind of stuns me. 18 months in, I still love the fucking thing. I really, really, really love it.

 

[lazarus]

I actually just got ahold of the EP.

Yeah, they need to release something soon.

Anyone else here on the JOFO tip? If you're not annoyed by THE CAMP! it's a pretty easy segue.

 

[If you shout...]

AKA, if you like music.

Good choice. That's the shirt I wanted, but I spotted my buddy to get Beautiful; Doomed on vinyl to get signed.


I'll check out that video in a bit.

 

[lazarus]

While you're at it, check these out too:

YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO REMOVE THAT STICKER, HONEY

HOTTIE CHICK BASSIST ALERT!!

 

[If you shout...]

It's a real pity that no high-quality video for "Sometimes, In The Bullring" ever surfaced. That song breaks my heart, it's so perfect.

This one's no slouch, either:

[lazarus]

Have they toured here before, so I can retroactively feel like shit?

 

[If you shout...]

Not since I've been in the States.

 

[impy13]

While you're at it, check these out too:

I liked both those songs. And the girl is fucking hot. So this is kind of a no brainer.

It's completely true that I overrate music based on how hot the girl performing it is.

Thanks for the heads up, Gaffer.

 

[impy13]

There's a difference between my concept of Musical Hotness and his.


Just watched the LEKS! video. Yeah, that was bittersweet in that it was a great moment but one that ultimately sucks. The lift-up attempt was indeed awkward. But despite her being unfriendly (you didn't miss anything, Shouter), it's sad to see her leave.

Did you catch Bill Simmons giving a shout-out to the chick from Stellastarr in his last mailbag?

Just because she wasn't totally into talking to your drunk Texan ass when you probably rolled up with some typical B.S. like "OMG WHY R U LEAVING? SKOOL SUX NO!!" doesn't mean she's not friendly.
