Not Linkatharsis. More like Linkburp.

I would've posted yesterday evening if not for this little problem.



So I ended up meeting up with friends I haven't seen in 1 to 5 years, crashed an industry function open bar in every sense but the literal, and found myself wide awake at 5 am thanks to the vodka tonic-induced dehydration. Good times. Alas, water in my ear is annoying the crap out of me. Not good times.

Murph in Vermont caught Clap Your and the National, and reports he "got to witness what happens when a band gets caught in the wake of another band's success". No, it's not just the mass exodus after CYHSY's set. There's more and it ain't pretty.

Catching Nouvelle Vague at Joe's Pub (Telecharge) tonight and Seu Jorge at Bowery Ballroom on tomorrow (TicketWeb). If you're going to be at either of the shows, give me a holler and I'll buy you a beer. A cheap beer.

Both dates are sold out (at least via web outlets) but you can still catch Nouvelle Vague on Tuesday and Seu Jorge on Monday. You really should.

While I'm sitting at 88 Orchard, half reading a book and half daydreaming, a dude rolls by on a unicycle. No one bats an eye. I like my neighborhood a lot.

Catch y'all next week. Stay safe.
