there will be a fish

Okay, how is it possible that NO ONE ON MY FLIST managed to tell me that Greta Salpeter had a song up from her solo project?

I had to find out because arielchan and junebug_waltz were excited about Gold Motel playing with Empires, and I went "Who's Gold Motel?" and Googled it.

GRETA FUCKIN' SALPETER, THAT'S WHO.

You're all on notice. *glares*

That said, I really like the demo version. I noticed on Goodbye Blues that a few of the tracks had a kind of Motown vibe (an impression reinforced when they played Martha & the Vandellas' "Heat Wave" during soundcheck); this gave me the same feeling. I personally love that -- our mom raised us on Motown and other 50s/60s oldies music, so there's something very familiar about it, in addition to being catchy as hell. And then you mix in Greta's lovely voice, and her always-slightly-eerie lyrics, and I'm left going ALBUM NOW, PLZ.

:D

We're off to see the wizard The Cab! Wish us fun! :D

This weekend has been going AWESOMELY, you guys, completely in spite the fact that after five hours straight in that nightmare of a pit at Emo's, I feel like I've been beaten all over with a two-by-four. Which I really needed, considering that Thursday was pretty much the worst day ever.

Seriously:

1) Great show on Friday, plus fabulous fangirl socializing, plus pictures taken with cute guitarist boys.

2) Became proud foster-er of the three cutest puppies on the planet this afternoon (pictures coming soon to an LJ near you). Nothing counters depression like a lapful (or in their case, entire-legs-ful) of puppy.

3) I CAN HAS MCR TIX? YIS, I CAN HAS! FTW STUBBS, THAT WAS TOTALLY SNEAKY OF YOU. GOOD THING I HAVE BEEN CHECKING OBSESSIVELY. :D \o/!

I rest my case.
