not from concentrate

So I just caught Adem at the Loft. It’s a semi-interesting story, to me at least, so I’ll recount it here. It starts off with a long, stressful day at work. I needed a few minutes away, so I ran down the street to Octane to grab a hummus wrap & coffee (mmmmm delicious). While waiting for the wrap, I notice a flyer on the wall: Badly Drawn Boy was playing the Loft & Adem was opening! I didn’t know too much about the headliner, but I had caught Adem open up a show in Boston while visiting my friend Giorgi a couple years ago. I enjoyed his set, and later fell in love with Homesongs. Fast forward to March 14, 2007. So the doors were at 8p & show at 9p. I get out of work at 9p, not having eaten anything since that hummus wrap around 1:30p.. I find one of my super secret free parking spaces near the Loft & enter in the venue during his second song. Unfortunately, he only played a few more (including a pretty nice cover of the beach boys’ “god only knows”), but it was entirely worth it.

Adem – These Are Your Friends
Adem – Ringing in My Ear

Whenever I go see an opening band I really like & I’m not too familiar with the headliner, I generally give them a couple songs to convince me to stay for the rest of the set. Granted, Badly Drawn Boy also had the fact that I was starving going against ‘em. So after two songs, I ducked out of there & got some grub.

that about wraps up my day!

until we meet again,
