Ouch! "Good luck with your career", was said from someone down in the crowd to School Of Seven Bells (the opening band). When I'm not crazy about a band, I just don't clap. For someone to be that mean spirited is FCVKd up. It take balls to be up there to perform and get people to listen. I guess some people have there own way to express themselves.

Beside that comment, people where digging "School Of Seven Bells", (was it because some of the members use to be in The Secret Machine). The Secret Machine was a cool band, but I did not hear the connection. I give respect to Interpol because they always helps out other bands that they like or they are friends with and share them with us.

I looked around the place they performed (UCSD campus). It was not bad. It felt like I was at a high school dance and I was a chaperon. To top it off, I saw this 15 year old girl wearing coochie cutters! Pretty crazy funny $H*T. That did not help. Wow. Thank God she moved up closer to the front or I had to move. Other then that, It was great to be on the floor once again to see them. Not up in the bleachers (even though they did have bleachers).

Interpol went on and Paul Banks was sporting a new look. Not bad. From where I was standing, he looked like David Beckum. Really! He had this fohawk with a mullet. At first I was, "Nooooooooo!" and "Why?!?!". I got over it and I was digging the new Mr. Banks. He looks tougher as if he was fronting a hard rock band. All he needed was a chain (maybe that's next).

Thumbs up with this show and double thumbs up for playing "The New". What?!?! I was in shock because that's my favorite Interpol song. I don't hear that song get played live as much, ever. That made my day. After the show, I saw my friend Blanca (HARD CORE iNterpol fan). She just saw them at San Francisco and she is gonna see them at Santa Barbara next. WOW! I wonder if she is gonna see them at Coachella? Let's see.

\m/ \m/ \m/ \m/ - Awesum!
