Tonight was the Ghost Mice show! And it was as wonderful as expected. They play on small venues with no microphones or amplification. They sing about eating frenchfries in the rain and wanting to be bumblebees. They play violins and playskool pianos. And it draws in a lot of the coolest people that I've ever met. I bought tons and tons of plan-it-x CDs after for less than 30 dollars. Ohhh. And the first man who played was really really the strangest thing that I'd ever heard. He sat on the floor with tons and tons and tons of electronic stuff plugged into an amp. The entire room buzzed and made strange sounds. Then he played this electric/computery guitar thing with a violin bow. He sang into what looked like a desklamp with no bulb and it made him echo. It was just a lot of singing/shouting into that. Very loudly. About trains. Allll about trains and street life. And there was a red clip-on thing clipped to his hat that had three tiny red LEDs on it. Every now and then he turned that on. It was a really really weird experience. Shiloh and I agreee that it was not like being on Earth and felt like we were honestly dying. Noah said that he could handle beat with no melody and melody with no beat. However, he has no tolerance more no beat AND no melody. If you see me - ask me to imitate it for you. Aaaaaanyway.. it was SUCH a good night. I got home reallyreally late. Ghost Mice is how music should be.
