If my ears are bleeding...

It's because Franz Ferdinand wanted it that way.

So I went to see Franz Ferdinand/Death Cab for Cutie on Tuesday, in what can only be described as a mega concert of colossal proportions. This was almost as cool as if G.I. Joe and the Transformers came together to combat evil...Franz Ferdinand was great live, and so loud. At one point they had three guys playing on the same drum kit, which only intesified the sound, and increased the potential for someone to lose an eye. Death Cab, also put on an amazing show...great vocal by Ben, great guitar by Chris. The opening band was a group from England called The Cribs. They sounded a bit like Franz Ferdinand themselves, but finished with a Hax-like ending. For those of you who don't know Hax, they're my housemate A.J.'s ficticious band who shows up two hours late for every show and then punishes any remaining audience with ear splitting, headache inducing music, telling them to "leave" at every instant. The Cribs finished the set by leaving a guitar, string side down on the amp so that it just shrieked until the roadie came and turned off the amp. Look out A.J.....you've got competition.

There were definitely lots of fans from one band or the other, which really took away from the show. I've never seen so many people just standing and staring at a stage during Franz Ferdinand's set, and then going overboard crazy for Death Cab...it was pretty lame, but we represented. Also, there were far too many teenage girls who only knew one song the entire night, texted friends on their cell, and hung out with their collar popping, Abercrombie friends....It just makes you want to push someone...I didn't, but I still might, it's gnawing at me.
