Well, I think it's cool at least.
We were on the dance floor, and this club plays a lot of indie british and some American rock. The DJ was really good, and also quite amusing to watch because he was rockin' out white-boy/ i-wanna-be-a-rock-star-style. In a moment of brilliance he started playing "Nobody Move Nobody Get Hurt" by We Are Scientists. This made me incredibly happy. Not only because I love the song, but because the band is made up of a guy that went to Harvey Mudd and two guys that went to Pomona College. I was in this ridiculous club, and I felt a bit of a 5-C hug.
Basically it made me think about the world, how randomly connected people and places are. It made me happy. It made me happy that three guys who spent part of these lives in the same place as me had music blasting so far away from home, and had a bunch of wacked-out British kids singing along to their lyrics at the tops of their lungs.
Last night also included a live band, The Runners. (They're on myspace I think.) While music is more Clairey's thing than mine, I thought these guys were INCREDIBLE. The lead singer man was channeling Mick Jagger (circa 1965) like you wouldn't believe. He also had a really great voice. (I value this in live performance.)
Today I'm headed into Chinatown to celebrate Chinese New Year. I'll let you know how it goes.
Friday I'm off to Scotland with one of my favorites! We'll take pictures and send post cards.
LOVE!
