The other night i was invited to some "art show" by a younger friend of mine.
Being diagnosed with social anxiety disorder it is very rare that i spend time with people i am not already very close to, but she seemed nice enough. She took me to some small art show, entirely stocked with over one hundred high school children pleasantly slobbering over one another like the pre-adulthood terrors they truly are. Needless to say i felt very uncomfortable and out of place. But the night was pretty alright, i hid on a nice couch next to an enormous speaker and listened to this small time local band called, Silver Plane Crucifix. They were extremely good, and it means a lot coming from me to say this. Oddly enough, the drummer is my ex-girlfriend's friend. Awkward situations follow me everywhere. But that did not stop me from absolutely grooving and getting my baby jones on. this little band made me 1, entirely inspired to begin writing songs again and picking up my old guitar.
They also reminded me how talented the youth of the world is, and how much i'm missing out on from being so busy with classes and working out excessively. I really love their sound it's a cross between The Black Keys, Bombay Bicycle Club, Toro Y Moi and Deerhunter. I really dig it and hope to see them around more. The summer is coming soon and needless to say that brings many opportunities to throw parties, perhaps i'll rent out a space at Pearl and throw a small talent debut show. I Don't know how to feel about summer being so close, it kind of makes me sad. the winter may be cold but there's something very warm about snow.
