ahhh...vacation.

Went to see SOUND Team last night. Excellent as always. I am anxiously awaiting the release of the full-length CD so I can listen to it over and over and over and over and over and over.... (I would've just said ad nauseam, but...I don't get tired of their music. As evidenced by the fact that I listened to the 4-song EP for two weeks straight in my car.)

Less excellent? Elefant, the band they opened for. I'd googled Elefant before the show and listened to some mp3s on their website, and from a casual listen I thought they'd be good. Granted, I was listening while laughing my head off at Letterman chomping on a stick of butter as Martha Stewart made a meat cake (yes, really), so perhaps my perception of Elefant's quality was skewed. Because they weren't so great. I am not so sure why, because the elements seemed to be there (except for some crappy lyrics, of which Lan has already spoken); most of the songs were melodic and catchy, which I generally love. The set just seemed flat, as if the band was bored--but I don't think they were. Anyway, I wanted to like them, but...eh. Maybe they're just not good live.

Unrelated: I want my own life-sized hamster cage.
