how did i totally forget to mention that i went to a glassjaw/recover show on wednesday night? well, i’m just a bad blogger.

but it was a good show. the first band was pretty laughable — they were called “vex red” and the lead singer had eye makeup, blond-streaked, long hair, and a bunch of flowers, christmas lights, and a naked barbie doll strapped to his mic stand, if that tells you anything about them. they weren’t so bad as much as boring as shit. but recover came on afterward and i like them a lot so that was a pretty great set despite a lukewarm reception from the glassjaw crowd.

glassjaw wrapped up pretty well though. their singer is pretty possessed when he starts screaming and singing and jumping, so it was fun to watch, despite my two major complaints. the first being that we got to avoid more hardcore monkey-dance kids flailing their fists and occasionally roundhouse kicking, which i maintain is still one of the stupidest things i’ve seen a real person actually do with himself (probably not a coincidence it’s primarily teenage males…). the second being that daryl (singer) said some pretty damn stupid inter-song comments. he gave a little rant i thought was pretty much bullshit about how they’re serving something called “confinement loaf” in prisons in substitute of normal food, and how “it won’t be long until they’re serving that in the public school system! . . .[almost no response from crowd] . . . am i right?”

it fell totally flat and i thought that was pretty funny. still a good show though.

[now hearing this: still nothing because i’m at work and we’re about to have a meeting!]
