Philip and I went to see Sugababes tonight for his birthday. It was really, really fun. We were on the 9th row, which meant we could see every little thing (including the Amy Winehouse-inspired eye liner), so the filming on cameras/phones going on around us was incessant. To that end, Phil noticed that people seemed to be rather partisan when it came to capturing the performance, regardless of who was actually performing. For instance, there was a fellow standing in front of us that only recorded Keisha, never mind that she was actually only contributing some 'runs' while her compatriots took most of the leads. I thought that was the case in this video, and that jmbradbury1 was a Heidi partisan, but it turns out he/she just didn't want to move the camera.
Regardless of who's on camera, they covered 'Don't Let Go' by En Vogue, and it was SO GOOD. We're going to see Girls Aloud in May, and, although I can imagine their performance being more of a well-coordinated spectacle, I'm not convinced they could sound better than the 'Babes. But I guess we'll see.
Anyway, an early happy birthday to my best mate.

Whilst listening to datura800's last.fm station just now, I heard a cover of "I Can See for Miles" by an act called Lord Sitar. Internet radio, you are a strange and wonderful thing.
Kudos tomichaelpop, btw, who was so v. close to hitting the Decemberists' Pitchfork score on the head. He was off by but a tenth. The review was relatively lucid, although the phrase "homosexual undertones" sort of grated on me. When you're gonna follow that up by using "inform" in the liberal arts-y way, at least have the decency to employ "homoerotic," right? Otherwise, you end up sounding just a little too American Family Association. In other words, the opposite of liberal arts-y. :(
[This is the last we'll say about Meloy and co. until next month when they play the Riviera. In other words, I'm not obssessed.]
