where did all my money go

so i FINALLY got the chance to see treaty of paris, my new favorite band bbs. they're on tour soon with the spill canvas and meg&dia for a bit for some midwest and east coast dates. which brings me to the point-- they aren't playing LA for awhile. TRIPLE SAD FACE :( :( :( i told one of them that they basically ruined my life for doing that (sorry phil) after which i immediately felt guilty. oh well.

their album sweet dreams, sucker is out sept. 25 and they've got a pretty sweet pre-order deal going on here.

umm so for all my jewish friends, shana tova! we have a long weekend off, thanks to the holiday. i'm hoping to catch up on sleep, sanity, and photos this weekend. last week, i realized i'd gone to see five shows:
- sun: ddl roundhouse @ club minx in glendale
- tues: treaty of paris @ knit fact
- wed: bikelock @ el cid
- fri: cartel (won tickets from losanjealous.com, an awesome LA blog), acted like i was 12 @ avalon
- sat: the deadly syndrome @ the echo
compounded with the fact that i probably saw 3-4 shows last last week: i'm tired. hot hot heat show last night-- SUPER FUN. it was awesome to see them so up close; i've never seen so many people happily dancing around at cinespace in my whole life.

2006- i was definitely mildly obsessed with elevator, hot hot heat's previous album, after seeing the lead singer rock out super hard on a keyboard (at san diego street scene 2005?) without ripping his awesomely tight pants. no joke. i've seen them several times and so far-- no wardrobe malfunctions. (rob says "he's canadian." as if that explains everything). so finding out their album happiness LTD comes out sept. 11 was welcome news to my ears.

also please read jax's account of how/when hhh filmed their video for let me in @ the echoplex. that makes so much more sense now.. i was trying to figure out if they were trying to say the band members were all descending into some sort of 7th level hipster hell...
