YACHT @ Echoplex (03/26/10)

it was the first album of the new year and the new resolution (to listen to ten new *new to me* albums a week) what a wonderful start of the new year.  it was something new and exciting that i had stumbled upon. upon a music blog/paris fashion week/or an actual stumble on the sidewalk in which their album postcard was dropped after a concert on wilshire. by the way i'm in the market for a pair of shoes sin shoelaces..i just don't  have the time for you to tie...

as for YACHT
the reason why i went to the echoplex probably the only reason why i would go to the echoplex again. i don't need to be reminded i'm NOT in high school again...apparently this is what the kids are listening to..better this than something at the hollywood bowl (no offense.) it was the first time and i didn't think this sort of thing still happened but underage adolescents asked us to buy them something at the bar...props to them except for the fact they wanted something cheap and ended up w/ a can of beer.  kids my advice for future run ins:  "if you're going swim dive in the deep end and go for something top shelf."  as for yacht: they consider themselves experimental. i consider them electronic. they're best described as something in the middle so it's jussssstttttt righhhhhtttttt.  released in july of '09 from the moment i heard they're album in jan of '10 i've wanted to see them live...albeit i wasn't in the middle of the mix of kids i thoroughly enjoyed every mantra moment.  i couldn't tell you the other performers that evening as i'm really not in their target audience bracket maybe but i will pick up their album and see what i really missed because the dogs were barken and it was already my friday night bedtime....
