sing me a story i haven't heard yet
Dear People Behind Us At The Weakerthans Concert,
It is nice that you have memorized their latest album in its entirety, but that is really not a good excuse to sing along (and sound out the guitar solo) excessively loudly, off key, and ONE BAR AHEAD OF THE BAND that I (and presumably you, as well,) have come to see perform their own goddamn material. Stay at home and air guitar to your stereo, asshole. There are real musicians here, this isn't fucking karaoke night. Shut up before I punch you in the neck.
Sincerely,
Laura
Dear Friend of a Friend Who Came to the Concert and Afterwards Complained That It Was Too Loud and "Just Sounded Like Noise To Me,"
Oh my god, are you secretly 60 years old? Are you retarded? Amplified music is loud because it is amplified. It is this new trend in live music that you probably haven't heard of for perfectly logical reasons like you are the world's biggest douche. You should probably not leave your house ever again and concentrate on crocheting doilies for your collection and staying caught up on your stories.
I am considering ending my friendship with the friend who brought you along even though I really like her and she has great taste in music just in order to minimize the chances that I ever see you again.
Sincerely,
Laura
With those out of the way, I would just like to say, ohmygod I love The Weakerthans so much that it makes my teeth hurt. If I were smarter I would write more about how amazing their music is, but it is just so good and beautiful that it makes me feel useless and stupid. Also, it makes me kind of gushy, which is a symptom of the stupid, I guess.
I would, however, like to know what is going on with the band. Is John S. back? I mean, he was there last night, but so were the two Fembot replacements, right? WHAT IS THE DEAL, WEAKERTHANS?
