I went to another concert down at the Edgefield McMinimans this weekend. Saw Cake. Very different feel and crowd from the My Morning Jacket show. MMJ can flat out rock, Cake is pretty laid back. MMJ's lead singer is better at music than entertaining, Cake's lead is engaging and funny. MMJ does ten minute jams, Cake takes the Vibraslap to new heights. The crowd at MMJ was into the music (but not in a snobby way), Cake's crowd was into having a good time (but not in a Jimmy Buffett way). Both groups liked to get high. I enjoyed the opening band for MMJ and loved that MMJ played for over 3 hours. Cake had no opener and played a couple hours - and gave a way a type of Hemlock sapling. Pretty different shows. I liked them both though.
I did not, however, get a backrub from a stranger at this show, and I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing.
Dash has been substituting the word "humans" for "people". It's really funny.
I've hit double digit hornet stings in the last 2 weeks by repeatedly running over an underground nest with my brush mower - you'd think I'd learn...but it's not funny. Hurts. (urth)
