Apathy and the promise of ordered in Chinese kept me at home. I didnt get Chinese food in the end either. But I am glad I stayed in as I got to see the epic samurai trilogy on IFC. It ran from 9pm till 3 am. It was fantastic.
But that means tonight I have to run, literally, to the 930 to get tickets.

In a fit of idiocy last night, I shelled out $10 for the new El Guapo album. I'm listening to it right now and my soul is shrivelling.
Did anyone else go to that show? I thought that The Rapture was quite good.
My crew was extremely impressed with The Rapture - very tight, energetic show. I felt a bit silly standing amongst a lot of young gals swooning over the lead singer as he leaned over the front row, but whatever, it was intense. El Guapo sounded great as well, although the drummers faux-neurotic Ian Curtis imitation was a little off-putting. I picked up the album as well - and yeah, not really doing it for me.
