I hope you have not given up on this blog. I hope that you are reading it right now. I also hope that you will forgive me for my lack of holiday season updates, because I am TOTALLY BACK AND IN EFFECT!!!!
First of all, I need to tell you about HEALTH. Because I need someone to go to this show with me, and everyone I mention it to is all, "HEALTH? What is that?" or just says "HEALTH?" in a vaguely condescending tone intended to convey awareness in spite of the speaker actually not having a clue about what he/she is talking about but not wanting the other person to realize that he/or she has no idea what he/she is talking about. (This is the Minneapolis way.) Secondly, I also need someone to get me in to this show for free, but that is another matter.
HEALTH are from LA, where maybe I should move to instead of New York because generally speaking all the LA bands I've heard recently have better names and sound scarier and more awesome than NY bands. (Also because I want to be friends with Liars and talk about Blixa Bargeld all the time.) HEALTH sound like Liars-Kraftwerk (sometimes) and they include Swans in their list of influences, so you know I'm gonna be into it! They also have a promotional photo that looks suspiciously nu-rave, but I'm trying not to notice that. At the moment they're touring the West Coast with a few different groups. Then in February, a US tour with Crystal Castles--who are also awesome--hits the rest of the United States, including my wintry home. And in May it's over to my UK friends, who will probably get to watch them open for the Klaxons or something like that.
