Cyborgface

Today must be chaos in the corporate world. No one is getting their venti lattes. Printers are being left broken down across the city. Borders bookstores are terribly understaffed. Why? Because the bane that is Interpol, disputed kings of the ‘indie’ music scene, played a ’secret’ show yesterday night at the Empty Bottle. Not only that, they played with The Liars and Deerhunter. Well, maybe played isn’t the right word. They formed a jam band that ‘jammed’ to dozens of kids and they didn’t even start until 12:30 am. How emo. The bassist could be seen in the other room (away from the stage) busting a move on the ladies. Is it unhip to have disliked them because they didn’t play what I wanted to hear? Is it pretentious for thinking that they are pretentious? “I mean, come on man, let them play what they like, dude. It’s Interpol, bro.” This phrase was said at least twice in 20 minutes by the crowd around me and another group of friends. Here’s to supporting your band. Hip hip, hooray.
