Suzette's Pulp Fiction party was quite fun... in fact... we got a noise violation!

Pulp Fiction

Yesterday I entered a contest to win tickets to see Best Coast at the Majestic (it was the UW student music committee - they posted "Best Coast's two LP's feature two different animals on the covers - a cat on the first, a bear on the second. If you had to pick an animal to feature on the cover of your band's album, what would you pick and why?" I answered "A Red Panda, because they are objectively adorable: http://youtu.be/0p2lZ3XNmd4"

I was getting ready for bed at 9:45 - contacts out, jammies on, ready for an early night to bed since I'd been up late the night before - when I checked FB to see who won. Well, apparently it was *ME* - so I got dressed and ran up in the pouring rain to get there just in time to see them!

Best Coast

It was a nice show - the band was a little reserved at first, but then the crowd vibe loosened them up. Speaking of which, I've never seen so many young women at a show since The Donnas. On the way home I texted Nick, who was working late, "I'm the cutest girl in the room. You know why?" and he replied, "because you got the setlist?" (we joke that I always get it because I'm a cute girl and he doesn't because... he's not.

It's joined our other setlists:

This was the song (as in, an actual Youtube video of the show we were at) that Nick made sure to pick me up so I could see better - the man knows my love of experimental guitar!



The performance of this song was probably the most transformative, however - it went from a song I skip on the album to my favorite (sadly, the coolest part - the guitarist singing the electronic chorus is made invisible by the angle of the light from the balcony - he sorta looks like Cocoon or something - but at one point he jumped into the audience and let them sing):



Also - at the end of that song you hear them say that Chicago was the best stop on the tour :)

Ratatat likes to play pretty loud and distorted live, so here is the original for clarity:
