shame is so in this season

you whine, i plead

somebody please teach the indie kids how to dance.

last night i took danny-go-go out for his belated birthday concert. we saw the head set and the harlem shakes at pianos. it was a great show and i have the ruined pedicure and damaged ear drums to prove it. but my point - these indie kids dance like an epileptic cyndi lauper/madonna/pat benetar on hallucinogens. girls and guys abound were vogueing, shimmying, self-touching to the beat (almost)... truly, it was everything but wall-licking. a particularly energetic young lad had a penchant for alternate foot stomping as his form of musical expression. he happened to be right in front of me. and instead of the requisite chuck taylors (gasp! what was he thinking?) he was sporting heavy black boots, most likely of the passive-aggressive-type-combat persuasion. yes, congratulations, you master of deduction - indeed he was the culprit of my smashed toes.

other than that, it was lotsa lotsa fun. here's some audio, i'll leave the video up to your imagination...

late for the show by the head set
pure convenience by the head set
(shakes mp3s can be found on their website)

p.s. i heart drummers (reaffirmation, i know).
