Mister Bowie did not seem to take well to having his choice of music (Arcade Fire, Deerhoof, TV on the Radio) called "boring" by someone on the boards. He was challenged with Gogol Bordello, Bedouin Soundclash and Jim Noir.
I'd been listening to Gogol Bordello before and I do agree that they are unusual and different. I suppose you do kind of have to like them, or have a feel for them, but then that kind of goes for all music, I suppose.
So which of the debatants won? Hard to say. I really do like Gogol Bordello, but I don't think Arcade Fire are boring or unoriginal either. Not so sure about the others... Kind of funny to see David being given a run for his money though. He'll just have to suck it up.
In other news, my doggie is eating again (being hand fed rice, chicken fillet and beef... Hell, I'd eat it!). Lots of relief all around... Hopefully she'll pick up a little in the next couple of days and we may enjoy her company a little while longer. My other dog loves it; she's emptying out both dinner bowls...
I suppose I should do that whole sleep thing. Pretty hard to imagine I'll be in Dublin again in about a week. Heh. I don't think I've ever been this disorganised before. Looking forward to the whole thing, and hanging out with the gang again (minus Sue, plus Sandra this time). Hopefully the Octagon bill won't be quite as bad as last time, but I imagine it will be. Fuck it.
And then there's Budapest in a couple of weeks too... man, I haven't even thought about that at all. That party is going to rock... :-] I should dig out the pics of previous years...
