Left my headphones at home, must work in silence at the library.
Did you know that Dan is a published music critic now?
I almost forgot about this but next weekend M.I.A. and GIRL TALK are playing at Brown!!!!!!
This has been my personal dream since I came to Brown. I requested Girl Talk when Brown Concert Agency did a survey back in 2005. In previous years we have gotten the Wrens, Wilco, Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, the Roots, the Flaming Lips and RJD2 (not to mention OK Go at least 3 times — the lead singer went to Brown)…but none of those get me as excited as Girl Talk in terms of pure joy entertainment delight value. The only way this concert could be any better would be if the Knife turned up as a secret special guest, or if Justice was the opening act.
Funnily enough this happy turn of events is probably thanks to BCA booking chair David Horn, otherwise known as a guy I had math with at B-CC and Westland, and one of the two people in my high school class accepted into Brown as a freshman.
Edit: I wonder if Girl Talk will use M.I.A. samples while opening for M.I.A. and all our heads will explode.
