Vampire Weekend/PUSA

So much for posting every show. It's catchup time:

Vampire Weekend @ El Rey, 3/20/08

Theoretically I was supposed to go to this show with Mr Wener, but circumstances out of his control forced a ticket switch and a giveaway to what was probably the most coveted show so far this year in LA. Thankfully, the band was in rare form: by far the best of the four times I've seen them so far, thanks to a room packed with highschoolers who knew every word and weren't afraid to sing along. "White Sky" the new stomper, was great; based on a drum loop -- is it safe to say that this next record could be their "Rhythm of the Saints?"Dunno. You be the judge.

Presidents of the USA @ Roxy, 3/21/08

Weird Al sat in on "More Than A Feeling," Wayne Cramer joined them to "Kick Out the Jams," and I was invited backstage for a photo session. Who am I again?!?!?
