Last night, I was shanghaied into playing a few rounds of Warcraft with some of my co-workers. Yada yada yada, I didn't leave work until 8 in the morning. After a decent nap, I got some breakfast, went back to work to print out my ticket, and then went to Shoreline Amphitheatre for the show.
Early this week, I got a ticket to a music festival that some local radio station put on today. That ticket got me in the door.
I saw one weird and interesting, but not very good small band, and then went over to the main stage where some band called "Scissors for Lefty" was playing. The only thing worth mentioning about them is that most of them weren't wearing pants. After that was Kaiser Chief, who were pretty good, but I only recognized one of their songs (and the rest sort of sounded the same).
Interpol played, and gave me the title for this post (protip: it's in one of their songs). They sounded exactly like an Interpol CD, which was somewhat disappointing.
Finally, Queens of the Stone Age came on, and the real concert started. They played 4 new songs (from their CD that apparently is coming out tomorrow), which were mostly awesome (one was kind of mediocre), and a few of their old standards. The general awesomeness of the performance just really can't be put into serial form. I'll leave it at that.
And, actually, I left it at that (because I was really hungry and wasn't that interested in Social Distortion or Bloc Party (who are Bloc Party?)).
So now you know that work is not the only thing I do.

For some reason, I recognize the name "Scissors for Lefty," can't remember why though.
Also, Bloc Party are pretty good, I can't remember if they're British or maybe Canadian, but I think British. Anyway, they're kind of pop-ish, but still good.
Bloc Party, at least to my recollection, sounded somewhat like the strokes, although i might be wrong on that, my knowledge of bloc party was never very solid. Scissors for Lefty has been popping up recently, i haven't really listened to them, but I do know that they played at RIT earlier this year.
So yeah. That's what I know.
