Just saw POLYSICS this past Þorr’s day. Man, were they awesome! The lead singer, bounces around like his energy is limitless! The girl on the keys acts exactly like a robot, even when she plays the keys (she moves her arms up and down as if they were controlled by levers). They even have this weird dance routine..

ポリシックスは最高だった！先の木曜日、コンサート見に行った。歌う人は元気がいっぱい。キーボードする女の子はロボットみたいで可愛い。みんなすごく上手だよ。また見に行きたい！！！

Oh yeah, I was gonna tell y’all how cool Current 93 was. I was there both nights, but I tell you the first day was a little better. There were fewer people there (and fewer metalheads for, ugh, Om).

It was kinda funny. The first day before the concert, I approached some darkly clad people afore the concert hall and asked them if they were there to see Current 93. It was visibly pissed I didn’t know who they were Om. Hah!

The first night was awesome. David Tibet shaked like he was possessed for the long introductory part of “Judas as Black Moth.” It added a sort of beat to the violins and pianos. He has such a stage presense and I was right there in the front both nights. Well, my descriptions always manage to make the awesome sound tedious so I’ll stop.

I shall see them this Friday and Saturday. If you haven’t heard of them, they epitomize and define apocalyptic, occult folk music. The central figure is David Tibet, a loony man who makes eerily beautiful lyrics. Anyway, this weekend, ostensibly, is their only US appearance this year and it’s in S-kewl ‘cisco. Good sourdough bread and Little Osaka, here I come.
