oh yeah? what else?

okay, so i was just on facebook, blah blah blah whatever, then a post from natalie portman's shaved head shows up on the newsfeed. i rarely listen to them anymore, but hey, i wanted to know what was up, so out of curiosity, i clicked it. and what do i find? this:
"We have some exciting news! Our new EP, "Meet Hot Singles" was just released digitally today! The EP features new versions of ‘Sophisticated Side Ponytail’ and ‘Me + Yr Daughter' that we created with Grammy winning producer John King (he's done Beck, Beastie Boys, Tenacious D, etc). Also on the EP are ‘Mouth Full of Bones’ and our ode to facial hair ‘Beard Lust.’ You can download the EP right now wherever digital tracks are sold! As you may or may not have noticed, our 2008 album Glistening Pleasure is not available anymore. This is all in preparation for the early 2010 re-release of the album on WARNER BROS. RECORDS! More details on that will follow, but we can say that there will be a least one new surprise nugget on the album. GP2K10!"



"wait," you must be thinking ... "did i read this correctly?"
yes, they're signed to warner bros now. how RIDICULOUS is this?
first matt and kim wom a vma, and now npsh is signed to one of the biggest american record labels?

i don't even understand.
then again, didn't i predict they'd be huge this year? i was indeed correct.
...more correct than i wanted to be.

seriously?!!!?!?!?

dearest natalie portman's shaved head,

once again, you are in NY, and i don't get to see you.
and even more tragic, you're playing within my birthday week.
so i have made the [not so] wise decision to try to sneak into santo's party house on the 20th.
just watch me.
or not.
i give up.

love,
devyn

look at my facial hair! oh man, hot damn, it's everywhere!

woohoo! so we ended up snagging some tickets for the lily allen/npsh show at roseland for $12 less than they were supposed to be, which is flippin great even though tickets still ended up being $50 each. holy crapola! really?!
we went from seeing lily for free at a baby venue to paying $50 to see her at basically the largest GA venue in new york.
does that make any sense.
anyways, we got there about 45 minutes before doors. it was freezing cold and raining and we were pretty much miserable.
doors opened promptly at 7, and by the time we got in, the the entire front row was taken, and we had to settle for the second row ... tears.
we could already tell that everyone in the crowd was especially obnoxious and we'd probably be super annoyed after about 10 minutes of standing there.
we were absolutely correct.
the girls behind us kept complaining that we were stealing their spot, when they were CLEARLY behind us. we certainly did not want to be where they were standing, our spots were just fine.
we listened to the crowd around us saying how all they wanted to see was lily, and they all had no idea who the first band was ... tsk tsk, how dare they not know natalie portman's shaved head!

NPSH ended up coming on about 20 minutes late, hence the reason their set was rushed.
i was wondering why i was dancing so hard, then i realized maybe it was because every song was twice the speed.
but they were super enjoyable ... it had been WAYYYYY too long since the last time i saw them. i was suffering NPSH withdrawal, and now i'm suffering again until they come back for a headlining tour ... whenever that is.
i pretty much thought we were the only fools who knew every single word to every one of their songs, but then i glanced over only to see these two gay boys (probably form staten island) singing along ... word!











no pictures of claire :( they all came out so weird and saturated. i HATE the lighting there so much!

after their set, we scrambled to get out to use the restroom. yes, we gave up our nearly perfect spots, but we know we'd just be horribly annoyed if we stayed there.

we ran by NPSH's merch booth. they weren't there.
only one pair of sunglasses, no totebags and shirts were $20. are you flippin kidding me?!

after we were done with the bathroom, we ran back upstairs just in time for lily allen. we found an ok spot on the side.
she was super enjoyable. i didn't expect any less from her.
of course, she did her cover of womanizer, and basically everything from the new album, with some old lily classics put in.
i just wish the venue wasn't so gigantic and that it wasn't so HOT in there.









it was a good good show.
maybe not as fantastic as the last time we saw her, but that's probably just because this time it was at one of my least favorite venues.

i'm not even sure what my next show is.
i need something soooooooon!

oh p.s.
i think this was taken during "beard lust"

well then.

as sources are telling me, ahem ... brooklyn vegan, apparently natalie portman's shaved head are touring with lily allen and will be here on april 20th at roseland.
i hate roseland to pieces, but npsh are one of my favorites and lily allen's awesomeness can NOT be denied.
not to worry ... i'll be in the front fo'sho.



speaking of venues i hate, the cut copy/matt and kim show at terminal 5 is sold out and uhh ... I DON'T HAVE TICKETS!
this is going to be a disaster.
no one is selling on craigslist.
anyone have any they'd like to give me?

did you see the snow today??





apparently it's supposed to snow into tomorrow and thursday.
hope for no school.
i refuse to go outside.
i have to make a cake.

THERE IT IS FOLKS, THERE IT IS...
