Counterpoint

Mark, you ignorant slut.

With that sheepish fawning you would have been better suited waiting in line for The All-American Rejects. For a band with a relatively decent back catalogue, The Dandy Warhols sure deluded their set list with plenty of dross off their new album. One song, in particular, was interminably long.

Actually, on the whole, I was pleasantly surprised with the Dandy's performance. They were absolutely atrocious when I saw them perform live on MTV while I was in Europe (sidenote: Supertramp and A-ha are also inexplicably still popular in Europe), so I was amazed when Courtney Taylor-Taylor hit as many notes as he did.

Although I am bitter that they wholly ignored 'Welcome to the Monkey House' and completely eviscerated (de-80ized?) the ones they did play.

For those of you who missed the Dandys (not really that much of a loss), there is a decent bootleg of their current tour floating around the internet. You may want to snap that one up fast as there is no telling how long the link will be active.

I think the Dandys can answer this one for me:

"Boys had better beware
You could seem a wasted affair
And like a bitch you already spent
All the dough you promised your friends

But not so cool man if you care
For all the other boys caught
In your bleach job hair.
And girls you better beware,
Boy you better, you better."

Boys Better
The Dandy Warhols

Oh yeah... I did the research (what a good historian I am) and discovered the gap in our communication started May 11, 2001 after an aborted attempt to see Radiohead in Washington on their Amnesiac tour (the switch from mmart happened sometime in September).

We resumed communication on your initiative, April 29, 2002. Yet, you still inexplicably managed to deftly avoid meeting Samantha. How does this fit into our Josie timeline theory?

I may have met Josie around then, but I didn't start hanging out with her until after September 11th. And it was more or less done by June. So that theory doesn't fit at all well.

Hmm... September 11th. Maybe that's what it was Logan. The terrorists won!
