Editors + Stellastarr* at 9:30

Last night, I went to see one of my favorite new bands, Editors and one of my favorite old bands, Stellastarr* perform at the 9:30 Club. I have seen Stellastarr* perform a number of times, most of which have been good, which is why I am forgiving them for delivering a subpar performance last night. I really do love you, Shawn Christensen, but I've never, ever seen you look so bored on stage before.

On the flipside, however, Editors rocked my socks off.

Great show, great eneregy. It was honest, and I liked it.

Check out Metro Distortion for pix and the set list.

oh, and buy Back Room as soon as humanly possible.

Björk in her full splendor



Last night, when I went to see Night Watch with a coworker/friend, we caught the preview for Bjork's new diggs, Drawing Restraing 9

I haven't been able to find a trailer online, which is kind if disappointing, because the film looks visually stunning.

Directed and produced by the game guy that did The Cremaster Cycle (Matthew Barney)

Bjork will also be doing the soundtrack
