Fake Banana

music weekend starts in t-5 hours. tonight we are catching grizzly bear at the moore theater. we bought our tickets what feels like months ago for what seemed like a lot of money. i know it will be money well spent. brian and i saw them once at sasquatch a few years ago however we were really messed up and i barely remember their show. tonight we will try to make up for that. although i didn't think yellow house was all that great of a record anyways and veckatimest is just so damn beautiful that this show will easily be memorable.

tomorrow morning we head off to portland with dave, michelle, lisa and maggie for a family vacation. we rsvp'd for a garage rock fest that is put on by Scion. yes, the car company. apparently they think will buy a car or think of their cars while we get our mind's blown by some serious garage bands old and new. garage has been my favorite style of music for a while now. it makes me think of blow-up by michelangelo antonioni. i know i have mentioed him here before but i just love the yardbirds scene towards the end of the movie and the crowd's cute, stoic, mod expressions.


at the garage fest i am looking forward to one band in particular, the intelligence. i saw them at SXSW this past year and although they are from seattle i have never seen them play here. damn! oh well, i will travel to see them if i can.

oh and on sunday night at SIFF cinema we are going to see a spanish film called Ramirez!

a movie about a serial killer that is looks modern and awesome. apparently the movie's budget was just about 50,000 euros but looks spectucular. i can't wait!
