female drummers are hot

Last night, i dragged myself from my warm house, to go see Darren Hanlon play in town. The past two weeks were catching up with me, long days and longer nights doing shit work which makes all the longer and more sapping. Without a nice average of 7 hours sleep a night, my old head gets migraines.
But i had missed out the last time he played, because of em's bday and i like the Jade Monkey (the venue) because its smoke free and cosy like.

I was alone because i got stood up by hard working father of 1.5 buddy and emma doesn't like music that she can't dance too (or have lyrics that make sense). I nursed a beer and tried to not look too Nigel NoFriends. The small club was rather packed and already facing the stage, like the support band had already played. I tried to time it so i would miss the support act, no diss to the support act, but i wasn't in the mood for second stringers. I wanted familar and good.

Fuck!
Non-Darren Hanlon musician strides on stage
Fuck!
Said musician is wearing an opshop jumper with a koala on it
Fuck!
He's plugging in a ukelele
Fuck!
He's got an accent
Fuck!
He's really good.
Jens Lekman, 22 year old Gothambergian (That's where Batmensche lives!) just captivated the crowd, i have never seen a support act be asked to do an encore. He sung like the guy from the Magnetic Fields, who inturn sings like the trobadour from Something about Mary. Sweet, funny, romantic stuff.

It was a shame i was by myself, i did speak to emma about the concept of a concert girlfriend. She brought about the concept of a swimming boyfriend, emphasising speedos. Concept aborted.

But jens lekman. CD. Must. Get.

After a short intermission, Darren came on. He is so not a rock star, he has the opposite to rock star looks, he can't get away with nerdy rockstar. But he has the cutest girls in the audience and they love him. Cute retro dressed red heads - sigh

I hate that i can't draw or play a musical instrument.

Darren actually rocked it out, i stood next to the speaker because an hour earlier i thought, 'hey why's isn't standing in that spot?, it's really close to the stage and i can put my drinks on the big black thing'. It seemed a good idea at the time.
i fear that one day the ringing in my ears won't stop and i'll join the ranks of William Shatner, David Letterman and that other famous guy with ear ringing thing which sounds like the foot fungus thing.

I realised that all female drummers are hot, even the one from Luscious Jackson.

Anyway he played all the classics and did a cover and it was all good. i bid my mental concert girlfriend goodbye (mentally) and went home.

So i recommend the show, its relatively cheap, the girls are cute and it would be a great opportunity to show off your new long sleeve tshirts.
