review: Green Velvet

[sistawendy]

I wore green velvet to Green Velvet last night at Neumo's. Sure, GV threw down a solid groove with plenty of interesting and three-dimensional sounds, but I guess it was a little too... techie and atonal for me. With all due respect for GV's innovation past and present, I was hoping for something more organic.

The person who delivered the pah-tay to me was Seattle's very own Nordic Soul, organizer of the Decibal Festival. Usually I hear him playing glitchy & cerebral yet still fun stuff, but last night was all about the happiness. He better be playing the next Pacific Science Center party because I missed him a couple of weeks ago at one.

Honorable mentions: Recess and the Red Pony, the second of whom is new to me and (gasp!) a girl. All four of these folks were using laptops either predominantly or exclusively.

unrelated: my roommate was asking me if i knew anyone who worked for microsoft 'cause he's getting an xbox 360 and wanted to get discounted games. i said i think i might know one person... who was at our house party, actually. i described you and he said "oh, woman in the corset? i remember her but i don't think i talked to her..."

For better and for worse, I don't work for Microsoft. Sorry I can't help with the games.

Bless your roommate for not calling me a dude. Heh.
