El Perro del Mar, Peter Bjorn & John at Webster Hall, New York (11/9/09)

At Webster Hall, the perils of sitting in the VIP balcony often outweigh the perks. True, it’s the ideal place for a certified midget like me, and there’s a private bar and quasi-comfortable seating – but one must also put up with being asphyxiated by the many fog machines, the not-so-subtle orgies taking place on the couches, and that one skeezy guy who keeps trying to offer you a flask full of absinthe. (“It’s the nectar of Satan!”)

But last night the VIP balcony was the place to be simply because it was the location of a historic fist bump between me and Andrew W.K.

I already knew he was set to make a cameo during PB&J’s set, along with a slew of others, but I did not expect our paths to cross. I don’t know what compelled me to lamely offer him my fist the moment I saw him, but all that matters is that he returned it and all was right in the world. Then he left, and I immediately texted my thirteen year-old brother, who soon lapsed into an envy-induced coma.

El Perro Del Mar - Gotta Get Smart

Anyway: PB&J. I have to admit, I was really there for opener, El Perro del Mar. I’ve become obsessed with her latest LP, Love is Not Pop, as it is the perfect soundtrack for long nights of procrastination. Although the crowd didn’t seem too familiar with her work, she won them over with her peculiar brand of melancholy dream pop. She stuck to songs mostly from her new album, including her mind-numbingly lovely version of Lou Reed’s “Heavenly Arms.” The absinthe guy next to us totally wrote her off as “vagina music,” but I was too distracted by my estrogen-fueled state of euphoria to care.

Swede-fest ’09 continued with PB&J, who announced that this was their 10^th anniversary tour. It was easy to distinguish who was who, as Peter was the one in the pink shirt, Bjorn was the one not in the pink shirt, and John was the drummer. It only got slightly confusing during the smorgasbord of cameos that took place throughout their set. Some made perfect sense (El Perro del Mar on “Young Folks,”), some not so much (an L.A. rap duo who remixed an unrecognizable song off of Living Thing). The final cameo was Spank Rock, who seemed like a solid addition to “Nothing to Worry About” but his appearance was much too brief.

Obviously the most dramatic cameo of the night was Andrew W.K.’s “interpretive” dancing during “It Don’t Move Me.” He didn’t utter a single word the whole time, yet he left the audience virtually speechless. It was spastic and random but ultimately the best moment of the night.

As for the band themselves, they were in top form as usual. Since the last time I saw in March, people have warmed up considerably towards their newer material and seemed to enjoy it equally as much as anything off Writer’s Block. The band eschewed slower stand-bys for faster, upbeat songs from their first two albums, and they ended the night with the infectious “Objects of My Affection.” I was kind of hoping they’d play the slow burning track, “Up Against the Wall,” but my friend told me not to be greedy. After all, one paradigm-shifting fist bump was good enough for one night.

There's something weird with the email CDJapan sent

2013

Notice the release dates, it says 12-Nov-2013

XDDDDDDD

My favourite favourite Jun was in it yet I didn't watch the said dorama. Because the female lead didn't look beautiful enough to attract me (but then again, given my experience with still print media, I should have learnt something about their faithfulness to the actual person) and the plot was just too far-fetched.

Now, Korea is making a remake of it. With one of my favourite Korean actor, no less! ARGHHHHHHHHHHH I won't watch it. No way no way. It'll be like betrayal if I watched that and not Jun's.

Ichiro~

Its been some time since okasan had passed away, I talked it over with the rest of my Otuoto..ah, sumimasen..I forgot that Sachiko was a girl... and Imouto that we need to go on our separate ways.  I was going to move to a fishing village in Tomosaki-ku to start a "Fishing School" apparently it was a good thing to start over there.  Jiro was going to move with Shiro and Goro to Tokyo.  They were going to find work in sping.  A good start for anyone.  And the twins, well...Saburo and Sachiko were inseparable still.  We all wanted to stay together with those two yet they did have a world of their own.  Only Jiro-kun was able to ge to them at all.  They were good in music both of them and passed in TouDai's Arts Department but the passing of Okasan got them rooted on the house.  They didn't..no..Sachiko didn't want to leave.  We were the only family they knew of.  We all knew that they were adopted yet we felt like they were our own.  Sachiko most of all, the only girl in the family, we had to take care of imouto no matter what.  Well, Jiro-otouto overdid it sometimes but I understand him.  Imouto was kind of careless with her actions and didn't mind being around guys even at a young age.  Although it was funny how she got ne engaged to my fiance at the moment.  Her good friend, Nana-chan.  

I smile at the memory as i tidied Okasan's shrine.  Her lovely face smiled back up at me as she did the day I introduced Nana-chan to her.  It was something I will never forget, Okasan wasn't the type of mother who scrutinized everything.  she trusted us and our decisions.  At the end of the day when Nana-chan had gone home.  I can remember Okasan saying I made the right choice and she was happy.  Tears welled in my eyes as I tried to blink them back, that's when Saburo called us about some letter that he found.

As I read it, my heart was full of happiness and sadness at the same time.  I think I would need to postpone my leaving.  Looking around the table as the rest of my siblings read the letter.  We wanted the same thing, I took the plans and tore them.  It was the right thing to do.  I turned around in time to see Sachiko run into the bathroom.  She was crying again.  I had wanted to comfort her but then again, I wasn't any good at that kind of thing.  Jiro-kun, walked to the fridge as Saburo ran after his twin.  I knew what would happen next.  Jiro would open the bathroom door and hold Sachiko.  It was all going to be fine. Goro smirked and said he would let Otousan know we're staying for a while more than expected.  I just nodded and smiled.  Shiro smiled and followed me to the bathroom, we could her laughter now.  It will all be ok.  We will be having the dinner that Sachiko made for us like always.  I just hope that Jiro will alway be there for the twins, had I wanted to take them in, I'd never understand them like he does.
