Poster child for waifs across the nation.

Who gets to work 21 hours in 2 days? ME! YES! And it's not even 21 hours of quality work, it's 21 hours of sitting alone in utter silence. Oh well. The new pornographers played last night, and it actually turned out to be a really good show. Probably due largely in part to Dan Bejar, and the fact that he was SO drunk, and just HATED being there. He would just stumble about, and the majority of the time he wasn't even present, and when he was he was usually sitting and playing instruments that required little to no attention, ie. the apple shaped shaker. Neko Case looked weathered, but was still amazing as always. So I danced and sweated, and it was generally a good time.

So I was told that the set list for bright eyes is looking really good, that I had to go check it out for myself. His official tour doesn't start until the 19th of October, but he just played a show in LA with their philharmonic orchestra...which just sounds amazing. So I found the set list for that show and it's actually pretty good. I'll have to look back for when he starts his really tour and check out the set lists for that...cause knowing him it won't be the same, and he'll just play the entire cassadaga album in a powder blue tux. I figure though if I look at the set list first, I’ll know whether to go in previously disappointed, and then it will allow me to cope with the fact that Conor Oberst has let me down, again.

The set list:
Don't Know When But a Day's Gonna Come
Bowl of Oranges
Make a Plan to Love Me
Old Soul Song
No One Would Riot For Less
Hot Knives
Poison Oak
Another Traveling Song
Arienette
Clairaudients
Lover I Don't Have to Love
I Believe in Symmetry
Lime Tree
---
Smoke Without Fire
Cockroaches

First two songs...SO GOOD! But what the fuck is cockroaches! A new song? Of course he’s going to close the fucking show with a new song! I just hope he’s sad, cause when he goes and puts on this “I’m in love, and generally content with life” act, I like him less. He needs to be so sad and so lonely and desperate that he gets really drunk, and can barely function.
