the black halos / the bones / the queers
a fucking incredible time. we saw this great band from sweden called the bones. beth and i got cds, thinking we might want to play them on hot trash, and boy am i glad we did. i listen to it alllll the time. i pretty much think they are everything a good rocknroll band should be. i don't know. i just like their image, the way they package themselves and their stuff (the artwork in the cd is sweet, and the car on the cover? fuckin HOT) and you simply *gotta* love a band that in their lyrics refers to their home as "my personal graceland." i love being surprised by opening bands.
so then there was the black halos, that are so much fun live. billy pulled his pants down, just as i expected him to. and put the mic down his little bikini briefs, and showed us his butt, and all that good stuff. later on when beth and i took a picture with him he wouldn't stop hugging us. he told me "see, now your boyfriend will say you smell like someone else!" my big mouth blurted out, "lucky for me, i don't HAVE one!" and he squeezed me harder and said "ohhh, don't tell me that!" when i tried to complain that he was crushing my bones and i couldn't breathe, he told me, "i know. I LOVE IT!" it was real funny. when we left beth said, "i guess he obviously doesn't remember how much he loved you last time, too!" haha. so they did "shooting star" first and all the other goods..."last of the 1%s," "some things never fall," "warsaw," etc. supposedly they have a new album coming out this summer. which rules.
after that the queers played and all you need to know is that they played "i can't stop farting."
the best part of the nite was when i was feeling very bold and i talked to one of the guys in one of the bands that i had some love for. to refrain from sounding like a dumb girl band slut, i will not name any names here. but i ignored the fact that i am way to shy to talk to strangers and by the end of the nite he was drunk and huggin on me and i didn't stop him at all. i should have taken advantage of him but instead i went home. ha. it still ruled.
