the breeders showed up in our little town tonight:
(minus tonya donelly, but what are you going to do, right?)
we had a luke-warm reaction to some of their new songs, but kim and kelley’s voices are still really amazing and hearing them do old songs was great. i think the crowd was having a mixed reaction to them also, at first. that is, until this happened *
it made the crowd finally both sing and bounce.
overall a good show, but it made me feel pretty old - all of this music is really from back-in-the-day at this point. oh and, also, i’m too sleepy and cranky to be out this late on a weeknight. ;P
speaking of cranky, a message to the guy who kept yelling “free bird” during quiet moments in the show: it still wasn’t funny the 4th or 5th time you yelled it. i’ll thank you for refraining from now on.
* it was a micro version of when we saw the pixies at bumbershoot a few years ago, their first real show after getting back together. the crowd couldn’t help but pitch in with the vocals at just the right moment during just the right song - it was strangely moving.
