I Knew That I moved to the Right City

Ok, being broke really sucks, but with some of the events that went on here in NYC over the past week, I know that I came to the right place. A list of bands that played here, just in the last 7 days: Spoon, The Go! Team, The Fiery Furnaces, Bell Orchestre (arcade fire folk), Say Hi To Your Mom, Gratitude, just to name some. Now, I know this is a big city, and this shit happens all of the time, but for god sakes, this is ridiculous. And to top it all off, The Arcade Fire played a show, at 2AM, on a street corner. Union Square to be exact. That's right, they had just lost some award, I think it was the mtvU awards, and they felt like playing, so they did. Where do I sign up to be part of this so called "scene," because i am willing to pay my dues right now. I changed the video a little early this week in their honor. You can also watch a video of them performing Cure classic "Boys Don't Cry" on said street corner. Thanks to my new favorite blog brooklynvegan.com for the pic, you all need to go over and read it, I know that it's one that I am going to hit up everyday.

Oh, by the way, Robert Earl Keen played on thursday as well, and Pat Greene is coming in a couple of weeks, so if I need a taste of Texas, I will have my chances.
