Dilemma!
I have a decision to make before the end of next week (and the sooner the better, honestly). Next Friday, the 26th, the Books and Yacht are playing here in Seattle on the same night. The Books will be at Neumo’s, and Yacht will be playing at the Club Pop monthly at Chop Suey, a few blocks away. Sadly, I don’t think I’ll be able to dash back and forth and catch both acts, so I need to figure out which tickets to buy.
I’ve seen the Books before, at U-Dub last year, and they were fucking amazing. Hands down one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. Which means I’m leaning strongly in that direction. But I’ve never seen Yacht before, and the Club Pop atmosphere seems perfectly suited to his quirky brand of electro-pop, the way the U-Dub auditorium was perfect for the scholarly and playful music of the Books. Plus, I’ve been really, really digging Paper Television, the new album from The Blow, that he was a part of.
If I wasn’t sure that one or both of these shows would sell out, I’d just wait to see what mood I was in that night and choose accordingly. But now I have to figure all this out in advance. Woe is me! Whichever I end up doing, you can expect a write-up and probably some pictures…
More later…
