Last week my friend Jessi and I met face-to-face after 10 years of “knowing” each other. It never fails to amaze me how the internet brings people together, how it forms friendships, and how you can get to know utterly cool people after a few exchanges. We had a brilliant time; she is a brilliant person, and we both saw a brilliant concert of Animal Collective at Le Bataclan (they have a bar/café as well – everything is overpriced, but you get an extra round of peanuts or potato chips if you get a cool waiter). I admit I didn’t really take to their album Feels, but Merriweather Post Pavillion is something else.
I know that Jessi and I are going to see a helluva lot more concerts together in the future, as long as I stick to Europe (or fly somewhere else where there’s something happening).
Currently listening to:
Animal Collective
Merriweather Post Pavillion

***When the sun goes down we’ll go out again!
And there’s no one pushing for a place
As we enter at an easy pace
And I want to walk around with you***
Summertime Clothes
by Animal Collective
just with that record they REALLY hit me too, but now even more!
