okay BSS

So last night was great. I tried to remember the exact order of the songs, but of course, I forgot I have too many holes in my brain to even consider having good sequence memorization. However, I remember most of the songs, and how they played them.
It was outside, which was really cool, and I liked it so much better that it was. The weather was perfect, kinda cold, but a lot of bodies so it felt fine. Land of Talk was the opening band. They're from Quebec, and pretty good. I liked them because it was just pure indie rock, but modernized of course (take note, Guided by Voices, you are boring us new millieniumz all to death). I liked her voice it was sweet but haunting IF YOU WILL. Anyways, nobody cares about Land of Talk, you think, however, they were there not only to open but to support Broken Social. So you had the guitarist there playing guitar from BSS, and he was really good, definitely gets his funk on. And the singer also played guitar and, of course, sang all the necessary girl songs.
Other guests included Andrew Whiteman, who is from Apostle of Hustle, but also helped make You Forgot it in People and was in Bourbon Tabernacle Choir back in the late eighties/early nineties. He is an amazing guitarist and great vocalist, but he's a kinda creepy guy in general. The other guest was, I THINK it was Charles, from Do Make Say Think playing guitar and trumpet. I'm not sure who they had playing the saxophone, but I'm pretty sure they were both at the Filmore last year. They are all Canadians, of course, bless their souls, nothing like Canadian music, I'm telling you.
Alright, so moving on...
They opened with Late Nineties Bedroom Rock for the Missionaries, and then Shampoo Suicide, which was cute since that was the album order. They actually played a lot of good You Forgot it in People songs. KC Accidental, which is always an epic song. Looks Just Like the Sun, which Andrew Whiteman sang obviously. They played Anthem for a Seventeen-Year Old Girl. Towards the end they played Cause=Time, and in the encore they played Stars and Sons.
So amazing, like REALLY. They are the best songs off of that album, really, except no Lover's Spit, or I'm Still Your Fag, but I'm sure they're sick of those.
Nothing from Feel Good Lost, those are a little TOO relaxing, all though I wouldn't have minded some Passport Radio.
From the Broken Social Scene album, they played 7/4 Shoreline and Fire Eye'd Boy towards the beginning. They also played Superconnected and It's All Gonna Break. But the best was Major Label Debut, that song is always so much fun. And, of course, IBI DREAMS OF PAVEMENT was the final final finale, which they involved the crowd, who all screamed at the exact same timing as the horns go off in the end. It was perfect.
They also played newer songs from Brendan Canning, which were Churches Under the Stairs, Hit the Wall, and Love is All. Good songs, definitely funkier. They also played two of Kevin Drew's songs, Farewell to the Pressure Kids, and Fucked Up Kid. I do like Brendan's solo stuff better than Kevin's, but you can definitely see how both of their styles make Broken Social Scene.
Justin Peroff, the drummer, was too, too good, and really, the band would be NOTHING without this guy, because he really makes it. Of course, all the guitarists are incredible, and Brendan is off the chain on the bass. But they all mixed up their instruments, and everyone played at least two different things the whole night. One minute Kevin was playing drums, and Brendan was playing an SG, and then the lead singer from Land of Talk was playing drummers, and Kevin was the on the keyboard, and Charles put down the guitar to play the trumpet.
It was a pretty long set for the most part, but I had no complaints. I could have listen to them for five hours straight. I love them so much. The show had the best energy, and the music was perfect. They always make slight changes, but I always want to hear how they play it differently, because it's still a good sound, just new. And everyone was enjoying it and moving, because really, you just can't not enjoy yourself when they're playing. They are too amazing, they are too good at what they do, and really, I hope they never stop.
If I am in love with anything or anyone, it is this band, and I cannot WAIT to see them again.
Also, I St. Petersburg reminds me of a Floridian San Jose. I liked it.
And that is all! I feel like I have so much more to say about it, because it's just one of those experiences that really mess with me, in a good way. I am sad that it is over.
