Some timely news on shoegazer fanatacism – the Swirlies reunion is tonight at Johnny Brenda’s. You can download their entire discography here, it has some crunchingly good guitar sounds and other delicious noise.

The other great news is that all signs point to Adam Pierce (aka Mice Parade) being drummer of the current Swirlies incarnation. I’m prepared for a dose of songs I mostly know and outstanding musicianship. Only would’ve gotten one of those at the Jimmy Eat World, “Clarity x10″ show last night (ohhhhh!!!!)

I don’t want to bring my camera tonight because a JB’s crowd can have people with bad attitudes who I will bump with my bag or spill a drink on their girlfriend. Or tower with my big Jew hair in front of somebody nice, trying to get “the shot” with a shoulder cramp. It’s easier to squat on the prairie, gazing into absolution with a heard of wild buffalo roaming somewhere.

Nightlife can be fun though – if I get photos during the “Shoop” portion of a “very necessary” evening of dancing, then I’m probably requesting Mary J. Blige “Real Love” shortly after. Tonight’s show will be sick indeed, and I will blog about it soon.
