Yo La Tengo's gig at the Esplanade was totally awesome!! All those beautiful songs, guitar feedback and rock-star posturing(see thurston moore in my title banner), not to mention the superb sound quality in the concert hall made it a night to remember. Ya lah, there're not too many American indie-rock acts here in Singapore, and I missed Mogwai last year. soundscrobbler tells me it's a rowdy night, which was I wished the YLT gig to be like that too. To be sure, the band was great but I just feel something's missing: the punk counter-culture ethos and crazed, beer-guzzling fans, for example. (wx: it's like the delicious but small-portioned, expensive wanton noodles!) The crowd was so dead, just sitting there; and some actually left after the second song. "A lot of oddballs and corporate kids," soundscrob reckons. I agree, it's kinda surreal. But Lulu told me I should stop bitching about the uncles and aunties because kids will say the same thing about me in future.
Nah, I'm pretty sure I'll mellow and settle for Teresa Teng or Wilco in a few years. :p
