Spoilers

Ive been to 3 shows since Ive been back in NY and it seems like every show has those one or two tools that will spoil it for everybody else. These people are on my shitlist:

Spoon at Webster Hall
The three girls right behind us who decided to have a screaming contest between songs...oh yeah, and the Phantom Farter.

Feist at the Bowery Ballroom
The guy standing next to me who took about 50-75 pictures of Feist for EVERY SONG! It might not sound so bad, but try enjoying a show when you have *click* *click* *click* *click* *click* *click* *click* *click* *click* *click* *click* *click* *click* *click* *click* *click* *click* *click* *click* *click* *click* *click* *click* *click* *click* *click* *click* *click* *click* *click* *click* *click* *click* *click* *click* *click* *click* *click* filling up your ears.

and most recently at the Esthero show yesterday at Irving Plaza. There were these three girls standing next to me who were yapping through every song she played. But between every song, the one that looked like Angelina Jolie kept shouting a request for the same song, Superheroes. Maybe I shouldnt bitch because I actually really like the song, but there should be a point when you realize "hmmm, the singer on stage really isnt taking audience requests from the 20th row, so maybe i should just shut the hell up".

This list makes me feel like such a hater. But when I think about it, Im sure people think the same thing about me. There's probably some blog out there where someone's talking about that tall motherfucker that stood in front of them and blocked their view of the show.

But besides that the show was pretty damn great. Esthero and her band were awesome. and Prince Paul DJ'd between the opening acts. He first came on between opening act I and opening act II. Before he started spinning, he introduced himself and then proceeded to give everyone his resume. Almost like Troy McLure's, "you might know me from other musical acts like..." and I thought it sucked that he had to do that. People should know. or atleast the type of people who go to Esthero should know.
