This week is Noisepop! We kicked it off Tuesday night at the Noisepop Opening Night, a free show (and we were even VIP, aww yaa) at Mezzanine with Extra Action Marching Band, Har Mar Superstar & Tapes & Tapes!
Opening night consisted of: Free photobooth photos, free tshirts, free drinks, free posters, free ice cream and David Cross! suuweeeet! Those are all the makings of a great party!
The best part, as per usual, is running into so many people I know. Friends, fellow music fans, musicians, writers & editors, photographers, etc. So fun.

Last night the fun continued, for night two of Noisepop, where we hit the Sebadoh show at GAMH. Honestly I didn’t listen to Sebadoh “way back when”, but my friend had a ticket, and knowing how many close friends of mine are into them, I thought I’d check em out. They were good, but I gotta say, the opener The Bent Moustache was actually really good! They were sorta like Rage Against the Machine meets Art Brut. Which is the oddest of mashups, but I’m stoked to check them out some more.
The night ended at the good ol Edinburg Castle, playing darts. (I’m sorta getting good at them now!) And I’m looking forward to a full weekend of more shows! Autolux/Snowden on Friday, The Ponys on Saturday & Midlake on Sunday! The crazy thing is that when Noisepop ends on Sunday, I ship out to Austin for SXSW just 5 days later! *sigh* My life is so awesome.

Funny David Cross story — I was doing some house-hunting in Brooklyn with my friends last month, and we were at an open house, and who was there? David Cross! This dude is everywhere! And he totally put down his real name, phone and address on the sign-in sheet. Which I did not copy, of course ;-)
nice! ya, he seems like a very down to earth cool guy. I felt totally dorky taking a photo with him, because it was so “you’re a star, can we have our photo with you?” lame… but whatever. I just feel bad sometimes cuz I’m sure they get that all the time. I wanted to have a meaningful discussion with him more than just have my photo taken with him… but I guess the later seemed more accessible, so I went with it.
