I think I've told you how much I lurve Yeasayer before, but have I mentioned that my friend Katie just got us tickets to their sold-out show at Webster Hall tonight? A Baltimore-born, New York-based duo that melds Middle-Eastern, psychedelic indie rock influences, bringing to mind the Talking Heads meet, say, a gospel choir ... what more could you ask for? A free download, perhaps?
The opening band ain't half bad either (in fact, they rock pretty hard). Check out Sleigh Bells' "Ring Ring":
It's Me
- Allegra
- "Life's dirty. Life's unclean. It's birth, it's sex, it's the intestinal tract. One big squishy, unsanitary mess. It never gets any cleaner either. You know, dust to dust, worms crawl in, worms crawl out, right? Even though we know that, we still walk the walk, we still live the life. We're like a bunch of little kids. Little kids, you know, we jump in this big old pond of mud and we're slapping it all over our face, rubbing our hair all down our backs and we're making these glorious, gooey pies. That's us. We're fabulous."
