they say – you don’t have to go home, but you can’t stay here, and the kids, well, they kept the dance party going outside of MSG because they didn’t want to go home or stop dancing or stop singing or stop partying or stop Robyning…

Parcels
Irving Plaza
February 22

Sometimes a new band enters your life and they penetrate your ears so easily, so quickly, so dang smoothilieie, that you juss know that they will now and forever remain in your heart AND soul (this is what happened when I heard Air and their Moon Safari for the first time).  This is apparently what happened when the two robots from Daft Punk heard the band Parcels, and this is what happened when someone introduced me to them and their incredible Incredible INCREDIBLE song ‘Lightenup’

Their sound is so fresh, and yet it’s a sound so familiar and dated (in the best possible way ever), but whatever their sound is, the Parcels are so mod AND so rocker, and they rock me to the core.  They have only one full album to their name, and played a majority of it and their previous singles in a super-inter-stellar evening that had me questioning whether they were one of the best bands I have ever heard live, or if they were the world’s finest lip-syncers.  I think these guys are the real thing.  Perhaps even better than the real thing

Setlist – Comedown / Lightenup / Hideout / Gamesofluck / Withorwithout / Exotica / Bemyself / Every Night (Paul McCartney cover) / Older / Yourfault / Everyroad / Tieduprightnow / Closetowhy / Overnight / IknowhowIfeel

Jack White
Kings Theatre
November 17

yep, that’s me, balcony center, rocking my Nats hat and Popeyes tee and rocking the fcuk out!!!

and yep, I was thoroughly thoroughly rocked.  It’s about time Jack!  You dropped a new hot album (‘Over and Over and Over‘ forever please, like the union!) and toured it, but only came to NY for a festival and I’m too old for that festival sh!t, and also I want a Jack show indoors!  EAT IT OUTDOORS!!  But you came back!  Indoors!  Wish I went to both of yer Kings Theatre shows, and wish I went to every show there ever (movie palace + music = MOVED ME PALACE!!), but this was still one night to truly remember (like the Titanic, cept if it never sank and triumphed at rocking so hard that it melted the faces of Nazis) 

Jack – you are our last hope.  Rock flows through you and out of you and into us.  No one your age and of our generation is doing what your are doing.  Keep doing it.  Steady as it goes, or unsteady.  Keep rocking the good rock

Bless your soul, and crazy hair, and crazy no-cellphone policy which wasn’t so awful after all (and kinda liberating!) 

Setlist – Over and Over and Over / Everything You’ve Ever Learned / Black Math / Corporation / Hotel Yorba / Love Interruption / Hello Operator / Why Walk a Dog? / High Ball Stepper / That Black Bat Licorice / What’s Done Is Done / We’re Going to Be Friends / Missing Pieces / The Hardest Button to Button / Carolina Drama
