Cryptacize are really good and I recommend checking them out. The girl has an amazing voice and they are really solid songwriters. Very mellow, but good.
Sufjan Stevens was okay. I've never quite gotten why he's gotten so much hype. I probably wouldn't have gone but we got in for free. We stayed for 3 songs and it took about 40 minutes! Very long, echoy kind of drony songs. I liked them, but I've just never been able to completely get into Sufjan Stevens, oh well.
I rather enjoy Sufjan.
Not sure why, he just has some really great stuff. Only album of his I have heard is Come On Feel the Illinoise
Good show and they did quite the awesome cover of Brazil. I really do like that bar but just wish their sound system was a bit better. I could hardly make out the witty banter between the songs. And Germie pointed out an interesting bit of trivia: everyone wearing a fedora is Canadian. This led to Penguin having fits of paranoia, tackling several hipsters out of "self defense".
Boy that was intense. First show I've been to with a mosh pit. Was on the edge of it so just pushed folks back in who slammed into me. I feared for the safety of my glasses. Someone did lose a pair (as well as a hat) and they held them up between songs asking who's they were. There wasn't a body to be found. Dun dun dun. Fun time aside from constantly being on guard for flying elbows.
Oh, the music was good too.
EDIT: Someone just uploaded a video from yesterday. Not the best quality.
Yeah it was a good night, but hardly my best ever. She's still just a singer. After it was over, I had to spend the night in a hostel with terrible pillows. The venue had taken my bottle of water ( ). I woke up with a terrible headache. Walking to the train station didn't take too long, but I did not get to see many nice spots of Köln.
But it was worth it. I met another guy who has been a fan for 9 years. He was from El Salvador and was studying at a university in Germany. He was incredibly nice, and also excited about meeting Marit.
The show was great, but sadly she didn't play Don't Say You Love Me. Apparently it was never very big in Germany... and her crowd wouldn't understand it.
She talked about coming to Holland again!

Wow. Just wow. Got back a minute ago. Exhausted. So much energy. So much jumping. Going to be so sore tomorrow.
It's Kayo's (the female vocals/vocoder/ synthesizer) last tour before leaving the band and they're going on hiatus for a bit. The front man, Hayashi, went all out. Was teaching us Poly-speak, shooting balloons into the crowd, and had everyone doing jumping jacks.
Larger venue than last time and was 16+ instead of 21+ so that might have helped with the increase in energy. Insanely fun.
Getting to meet Cowboy Mouth at the plush Foundation Room at the House of Blues in Houston tonight for Mardi Gras. We did it last year, too.
Cowboy Mouth is a very fun band to experience live because they get the audience participating like no other, and the HOB is a great venue for that style.
Angrist, Marit recognized you? That would be awesome. How many shows have you been to of hers? I've been to quite a few Mouth concerts. Too bad they're all dudes except the bassist, who isn't that cute.

Yeah we talked for a while in November. Didn't have that much time in January, so it was just a short chat and a hug (wasn't my but another guy's idea).
She follows me on Twitter too. Which probably means as much as 'she needed to add me to send me a few personal messages'.
Ehm I've seen her 4 times now.
I arranged an interview for the next time she's in Holland.

Don't let go of her!
I haven't been to any shows lately (nobody comes here!), but I'm planning on seeing God Is An Astronaut next month.
