We were approached by Spin.com while waiting to get into the sold-out LCD Soundsystem show Friday night. I guess we just looked the right amount of bored and stylish for them to pick us out of the crowd. We tried to look apathetic and cool for the pictures, but unfortunately we were giddy as hell and couldn’t wipe those stupid smirks off our faces as we posed.

It looks like we were internet celebrities for a hot minute. This beats the time we were featured in a Gawker article.

By the way, in case anybody’s wondering, the show was freaking awesome.

Here’s the article if you missed the three links above and click after the jump for those deliciously awkward pictures of us.

Awesome. I went to see them a couple of months ago when they played BB Kings in Times Square, and if it’s possible, I think they showed even more energy on stage. If you haven’t checked them out yet, I urge you to do so. Right now.

Reminds me a little bit of that scene from Garden State, but doesn’t everything in life remind you of “that scene” from Garden State? Whatevs. Check out that video and keep an eye out for Wallpaper man #7. That’s me! I swear. I mean, just try and prove me wrong.

Good morning fellow internet monkeys. If you’re like me, you’re probably wondering how the recently passed three day weekend lasted only approximately 87 minutes. I’m not sure either, but I can’t shake the feeling that we all got space-time dimensionally screwed. Somebody out there is laughing their ass off.

Luckily, my day has been brightened by the discovery of The Dilbert Blog. Sure, we all love Dilbert–especially those of us imprisoned in the cubicular cells of corporate slavery. You can only imagine what Scott Adams could write if he wasn’t confined to his usual three-square medium. Yes, you’re right: articulate hilarity. Wow, I couldn’t have put that better.

Here is a tidbit to whet your appetite:

I opened my web browser today and noticed a story about a man in Oregon who was snorkeling in a river and got shot in the head because some other guy thought he was a rodent.

There is nothing funny about being shot in the head. Unless you were snorkeling in a river and someone thought you were a rodent.

Hilarious.

In other news, Jerry and I went to Southpaw yesterday where we saw Ra Ra Riot, Malajube, and Snowden. Here are my five-word reviews for each band.

• Ra Ra Riot: Hot cellist, but possibly underaged.
• Malajube: French canadians are funny. OOMEED.
• Snowden: Didn’t care enough to stay.

And that my friends, is why I write for WDS and you don’t. PS, I’m told Jerry will post a video of Malajube performing Etienne-something or other. Keep your eyes peeled! (Figuratively, of course)

Edit: Oh right, this girl Ann went too. She also bought a green jacket. That is all.

This show trumps the show I went to on Thursday big time. I am so glad that I was able to go twice. If you’ve never seen Arcade Fire live you have a chance to catch them in May. They will return to NYC for 3 shows and my recommendation would be to go to the last show.

Here’s some videos I took!

Wake Up. They opened with this in the crowd and I was right next to them!

My Body Is A Cage during the first encore.

Neighborhoods #2 (Laika) during the second encore and only the second half of it. My arm was tired.

UPDATE:
I was checking out NPR’s coverage of the concert and I found a slideshow. I was pretty close to the band during Wake Up so I decided to see if I was in one of the pictures. Here I am behind Regine with camera in hand recording the video posted above!

Here’s a couple of videos that Ann took during the concert. Check out that Neon Bible!

My Body is a Cage (2:33 is my favorite part)

Wake Up
They played in the middle of the crowd. Hard to see but it was awesome.

The GRAMMY Foundation was established in 1989 to cultivate an awareness, appreciation and advancement of the contribution of recorded music American culture from the artistic and technical legends of the past to the still unimagined musical breakthroughs of the future generations of the music professionals. The GRAMMY Foundation works in partnership with its founder, the Recording Academy, to bring national attention to important issues such as the value and impact of music and arts education and the urgency of preserving our rich cultural legacy.

I know when you all read this you immediately thought of Chamillionaire, specifically his song, “Ridin”. I know I did. With lyrics like these how can you not win a Grammy.

Police think they can see me lean
I’m tint so it ain’t easy to be seen
When you see me ride by they can see the glean
And my shine on the deck and the TV screen
Ride with a nooche, she like hold up
Next to the playstation controller is a full clip and my pistola

The song totally screams “unimagined musical breakthrough” and definitely preserves the “rich cultural legacy” of music and the Grammy’s. Werd up.

Here’s a picture of it.

Look at all them fingerprints. I should take this picture down if I commit any crimes. :]
