My pretty, pretty, pet..

Listen to this song and be tragic with me!! Oooo!! I want to wallow and be frustrated when I listen to it. It's so beautiful and anthemic and by this band Aberdeen City, who opened for Elefant the other night. They are just killing me right now. Here's a sample lyric from another one of their songs that is haunting my sleep, Pretty Pet.."Sometimes regret, makes a good pet, you hit the target, my pet regret.." Yeah, they're KILLING ME I'M DYING. Hmm, that was my drama queen talking thar I guess. Sara told me over some Heinies on Memorial Day, while we were talking bout the pink snowball of POOP that is my life, that I am most definately a drama queen. Huh. I never thought I was that bad..oh WELL it's the sensitve artist type right? Yeah, I'm the sensitive artist type, PFFFTHP. Anyway, back to this wonderful band, so this boy is the guitarist and one day either Sara or I will marry him. Which is pretty amusing cos we *never* agree on men..hence how we are still bffs! He played guitar like a crazy person and jumped and and was all Gumby, AMAZING. He's really skinny and has no butt, and I think we like that. Hmm.

Aberdeen City's Myspace will change your life, in a good way!

I need to get the EP now, the Freezing Atlantic..but there are a million other albums to get. And I am poor. And I keep spending my money on shows/Jackn'cokes/my decline into crazy.

And as for Elefant, what can I say that this picture cannot??

They were ridiculously perfect, Diego is still the most effing theatrical GORGEOUS frontman ever, and their fans are hilarious and love to dance. The new songs sounded amazing as usual and Bokkie and the older stuff made everyone go bananas! Me n' wifey, front row..totally sober (one beer, I fucking hate webster's prices), it was magical. Then the next night or so I went ta see Benzos at TisWas after some drinks with wifey. UMM DAMMIT, they also were perfecto! The lighting show at the Annex was suhhhweet and I got some hotass pictures that I haven't resized yet cos when I'm not busy I'm lazy. BUT I found this on the Shaw Promotions webbysite whilst looking at their Benzos shots..let's play a lil' game called Where's Krissy?, it's like Where's Waldo? but way, way easier.

Yes, I would be the tipsy looking girl in the homemade Ian McCulloch tee and the hot pink leopard print of course. Klassy with a K, as always. I know the photo guy was totally just trying to take a pic of that girl in the blue too, and I eeked in there. And when I look at these I see, sheesh! I am in dire need of a wifey's-special-drinking-at-the-apt-on-a-thursday-night-haircut! I'm starting to look a miiiite bit treehugger here..Whatev! It sucked cos I was alone at the show and I even had a +1..will noone I know ever join my in my complete adoration and devotion to Benzos?! Lookit how adorably scruffy!!

Bah! I will forever be running around the LES on my own to see bands..pray for my safety, bitches.

And to end the weekend, after the Apple store meeting we went out to Lit for a nightcap, me, wifey, and a few boyz from the store. No dinner and complete exhaustion plus like 6 drinks turned into, tada! Kareoke downstairs! I "sang" the Killing Moon and I'm sure it was frightening to hear my high-pitched squealy voice instead of Ian's croon.

And I just HAPPENED to be wearing that tee, DORK. It was wonderful anyway, one of the guys sang Ring of Fire and the other sang Tiffany's I Think We're Alone Now, and basically, it was one of those nights where I got the hiccups and couldn't stop and someone ended up losing a wallet and I fell asleep on the couch with all my clothes on and covered in Tostitos crumbs, oy vey.

And all that was like two weekend ago. Last weekend was um, some more shenans. Sara took this picture on Memorial Day, right before we skedadled to Billysburg (I still fucking hate you Billysburg, I just tolerate you cos Whooooore! lives there now) to get a few PBRs at a local hipster dive. I decided I would live up to my class-act persona and bust out the Alize shirt. Have you had that stuff?? EW its like shnappes and it makes me wanna vom just thinking about it, although the night I got that shirt for free I drank like 10 shots of it...*shudders* Anyway, in college when I would get drunk in the dorms I would end up putting on some crazy outfit before going out, sometimes on a dare from others, and it's nice to see I haven't matured at all. Wifey *loves* it (aka, not really) when I go, "Ohmigawd! That is the most stupid, crazy, most insanely ridiculous thing I've ever seen! It's so ugly! I'm buying it and wearing it home!"

Nerds!!
