I am so excited about the Caribou show Friday that I can't think about anything else. I don't think I've been this excited to see a show since I was an undergrad. I feel like a huge dork, but my constructive side says, "run with it! When was the last time you felt excited about anything?" I looked on the Austin Chronicle's recommended shows to see if Caribou was listed. Indeed, it is a recommended show; I hope it's not all crowded. The preview says to expect "promises dueling drum kits, synchronized visuals, and walls of guitar on stage," which has me saying "hell yeah!"

Another one of the recommended shows is the Sightings show Monday at Church of the Friendly Ghost. I'm not familiar with Sightings, but my pals from Numbers on the Mast are playing, so, of course, I'll be there. I hope I can get my grading done beforehand, so I can see Sightings' "feedback drift/burst/smash/crash on top of addictive Liquid Liquid-like groove." I wonder why the Chronicle didn't mention Numbers on the Mast; they've recommended NotM shows before. Maybe they don't want to overhype NotM, and create a Spoon-like backlash.
